Re:Show HN: Using Jev to generate game levels in real time on Friday September 18, 2026 @10:38AM (#49755067)
Very interesting demo!
That’s a great workflow, any plans for covering more advanced math topics in the near future?
And the actual github repo with the standards:

https://github.com/TAUI-Standards/taui-standards

Note that json schema of the standard isn’t rendered on the TAUI-0001.md spec file, however the website displays both.

Very interesting, how do you validate the correctness of the generated visuals? And that a previous lesson, say 5 videos ago ensures that the concept being explained now had its prerequisite covered?

I assume you could do a topological sorting of the content to ensure prerequisites are covered, but I'm curious on how automated this could be.

Looks super cool either way!

Show HN: TAUI – Structured Terminal Agent UI (Like Google A2UI)

https://github.com/TAUI-Standards/taui-ink-adpater

Hi HN,I am building TAUI (Terminal Agent UI), an open-source standard for autonomous agents in the terminal. Most agents today interact with shells by directly writing raw text or ANSI escape codes. It’s brittle, prone to hallucinations, and breaks the second a terminal resizes.Some developers are having agents write HTML, CSS, or Python scripts to create their own UIs. I believe this isn’t...

Very cool, especially given that it’s a two person team. I will be checking this out on the weekend.

Also I’m super curious on how you’re attempting to have more realistic physics with post training.

Haha I love the concept! What if you allowed smaller local llms loaded in the browser as an unpaid intern tier? You wouldn’t charge an hourly wage for using them but you could charge for the “skills” you teach them so make them useful. Just a suggestion, don’t take it as prescriptive.
Re:Ask HN: LLMs for New Job Categories on Friday January 23, 2026 @11:36AM (#46734514)
I think whenever a new technology comes out, there will always be some new jobs to:

- build (LLM research engineers)

- integrate into existing systems (LLMOPS and AI engineers)

But I think besides those obvious ones, there will be lots of new combinations of LLMs and other technology that we won’t be able to predict, but in hindsight seem like it was destined to happen.

Show HN: MermaidTUI - Deterministic Unicode/ASCII diagrams in the terminal

https://github.com/tariqshams/mermaidtui

Hi HN, I built mermaidtui, a lightweight TypeScript engine that renders Mermaid flowcharts directly in your terminal as clean Unicode or ASCII boxes.Visualizing Mermaid diagrams usually requires a heavy setup: a headless browser (Puppeteer/Playwright), SVG-to-image conversion, or a web preview. That's fine for documentation sites, but it's overkill for TUI apps, CI logs, or quick terminal...

Re:Why Reliability Demands Functional Programming on Sunday December 28, 2025 @11:28PM (#46417474)
Genuinely curious on the types of projects you use Haskell for! I’ve been thinking of learning it beyond the lightweight treatment I got during my CS degree.
Highly recommend you read this book series (all free online)

The Architecture of Open Source Applications

Then afterwards diving into a repo based on the map given to you by the textbook.
