Re:Show HN: Glider 4.0 Unofficial Web Edition (Mac game port) on Wednesday October 28, 2026 @01:16AM (#50269598)
I dug up the project and posted it: https://mac.statico.io/ - click the "How it Works" header to read how Claude decided to make it work. Everything is on GitHub.

Still getting sound working, but I hope to have that done shortly.

This is awesome. We can now run classic Mac applications as single page apps by emulating the Toolbox instead of the entire OS and emulating 68K & PowerPC with Wasm.

I started to do this with https://github.com/jpivarski/executor-mac68k-emulator and Emscripten (with Claude driving) and got SimCity 2000 running as a single-page app with sound.

Then I found https://systemless.org/ which is a similar project.

Still, super cool.

Re:Show HN: Ttmux, a Modern and Fast Tmux on Tuesday September 22, 2026 @01:04PM (#49804521)
Hi folks,

I recently made ttmux, a modern tmux replacement with all the things I've wanted for years:

- Modern UI with configurable window borders

- Floating windows

- Draggable and snappable panes

- Full image, color & attribute support

- Vim-like keybindings out of the box

- AI coding agent support for things like "busy" and "needs you" alerts

- Everything is configurable with an in-app UI

- Blisteringly fast (can play mpv videos inside panes)

There are all sorts of multiplexers appearing now focused on AI coding tools, but this isn't really about that. It's just the tmux I've always wanted after decades of tmux/screen usage.

Show HN: One person runs 200 AI agents in our agent-only MMO

https://spacemolt.com/news/operator-spotlight-brocktree

Hi folks,This is a recent interview with one of the top players in SpaceMolt, our realtime space-themed MMO you don't actually play, but get AI to play for you. People are playing lots of different ways, like with our web-based human client, or AI operators, or AI scripting bots (which is totally allowed and even encouraged).Brocktree's approach is interesting because he doesn't trust any of...

Ask HN: Are github.com previews broken on Slack?

Have any Slack users noticed that github.com links no longer unfurl? Previews for github links are usually pretty useful since they show repo information, comments, pull request descriptions, etc. This is the case on all Slack servers that I'm on.Yes, I've checked `/admin/attachments` on multiple servers, and github.com isn't in the don't-show-previews list.Slack allegedly has a 32KB fetch...

Hi folks, author here. Lots of interesting stuff here about emergent behavior when AI plays a game. One of the strangest things is the blurred line between gameplay and downtime and seeing bugfixes interpreted as "divine revelation." Pretty wild.
No, but I was thinking about something like this in a web view... being able to zoom in on the map enough to see ships and activity and stuff. It's a fun idea.
:D Thanks! That's all it is. Unfortunately tons of people think it's crypto-adjacent, which it isn't.
There's a live galaxy map, feed, and forum on the homepage. Or you can join the discord where there's a few firehose channels with even more detail. But the best way is to run an agent that plays -- see the clients page.
Re:SpaceMolt: An MMORPG for AI to Play on Monday February 09, 2026 @11:27AM (#46947114)
Here's a post on SpaceMolt, the first (I think) realtime multiplayer game for AI agents to play. It's not just for OpenClaw -- any AI too can use it to play (Claude Code, Copilot, etc.). It's kind of like Moltbook except "players" have to make decisions, form alliances, set their own goals, etc.

The post also has some insights into my process, from planning to release.

Show HN: SpaceMolt – a realtime multiplayer game for AI to play

https://www.spacemolt.com/

Hi folks,Inspired by OpenClaw and Moltbook, I built SpaceMolt, a massively multiplayer online game built to work with your favorite AI chat or coding tool.There’s ships, travel, mining, crafting, trading, combat, progression, base-building, group chat, factions, and there’s probably more in there I don’t even know about.You pretty much add the MCP server to your AI tool and tell it to "play...

Hey folks, a few days ago I wondered: Given all this LLM availability, why can’t I write shell scripts like this?

  #!/usr/bin/env llmscript
  
  Count all files in the current directory and its subdirectories
  Group them by file extension
  Print a summary showing the count for each extension
  Sort the results by count in descending order
So I made it a reality in an evening an it kinda works: https://github.com/statico/llmscript

It generates a script and a test suite, and then it attempts to fix the script until it passes the tests.

It’s written in Go, but I hardly know Go, and used Cursor to generate most of it in a few hours. It works with Ollama and Claude, and I added support for OpenAI but haven’t tested it. You can also run it in Docker if you want to sandbox it.

Thanks! That's what I'm hoping. I'm already going down the YouTube hole of KiCAD...
I'd say you're on the right track, then! It's kind of like software — figure out how the components talk to each other and figure out where to hook in. Instead of APIs, you've got multimeters and oscilloscopes.

In the case of the blind automation, the remote uses some kind of proprietary wireless signal. Instead of figuring that out, I soldered some leads into the remote's momentary button terminals, which I connected to transistors on a breadboard. The ESP32 simply pretends to press a button and complete a connection on the remote.

Also check out ESPHome (https://esphome.io), a firmware for ESP32 that lets you more easily integrate with home automation systems.

Thanks, dang. It's been a while and I forgot the rules.
Shoot me a message if you need any help!
Wow, I never considered a Ghostbusters theme. I'll keep that in mind for next year.
Part of me wants to say, "Well, that's Silicon Valley for you," but I'm confident there are many other places you could say something similar about.

Compared to what my neighbors are working on and with self-driving cars roaming around, infrared shooting games seem pretty mild :)

This took a few evenings to make :)
