Show HN: Free mammogram analysis tool combining deep learning and vision LLM 8 by coolwulf | 7 comments on Hacker News. I've built Neuralrad Mammo AI, a free research tool that combines deep learning object detection with vision language models to analyze mammograms. The goal is to provide researchers and medical professionals with a secondary analysis tool for investigation purposes. Important Disclaimers: - NOT FDA 510(k) cleared - this is purely for research investigation - Not for clinical diagnosis - results should only be used as a secondary opinion - Completely free - no registration, no payment, no data retention What it does: 1. Upload a mammogram image (JPEG/PNG) 2. AI identifies potential masses and calcifications 3. Vision LLM provides radiologist-style analysis 4. Interactive viewer with zoom/pan capabilities You can try it with any mass / calcification mammo images, e.g. by searching Google: mammogram images mass Key Features: - Detects and classifies masses (benig...

Show HN: Pi Co-pilot – Evaluation of AI apps made easy 8 by achintms | 1 comments on Hacker News. Hey HN — 2 months ago we shared our first product with the HN community ( https://ift.tt/Lfl7Qns ). Despite receiving lots of traffic from HN, we didn’t see any traction or retention. One of our major takeaways was that our product was too complicated. So we’ve spent the last 2 months iterating towards a much more focused product that tries to do just one thing really well. Today, we’d like to share our second launch with HN. Our original idea was to help software engineers build high-quality LLM applications by integrating their domain knowledge into a scoring system, which could then drive everything from prompt tuning to fine-tuning, RL, and data filtering. But what we quickly learned (with the help of HN – thank you!) is that most people aren’t optimizing as their first, second, or even third step — they’re just trying to ship something reasonable using system prompts and off-the-sh...

Show HN: Vaev – A browser engine built from scratch (It renders google.com) 24 by monax | 8 comments on Hacker News. We’ve been working on Vaev, a minimal web browser engine built from scratch. It supports HTML/XHTML, the CSS cascade, @page rules for pagination, and print-to-PDF rendering. It even handles calc(), var(), and percentage units—and yes, it renders Google.com (mostly). This is an experimental project focused on learning and exploration. Networking is basic ( http:// and file:// only), and grid layouts aren’t supported yet, but we’re making progress fast. We’d love your thoughts and feedback.

Show HN: I built a knife steel comparison tool 20 by p-s-v | 1 comments on Hacker News. Hey HN! I'm a bit of a knife steel geek and got tired of juggling tabs to compare stats. So, I built this tool: https://ift.tt/D8NtLcH It lets you pick steels (like the ones in the screenshot) and see a radar chart comparing their edge retention, toughness, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening on a simple 1-10 scale. [Maybe attach the screenshot here if HN allows, or link to it] It's already been super handy for me, and I thought fellow knife/metallurgy enthusiasts here might find it useful too. Would love to hear your thoughts or any steel requests! Cheers!

Show HN: Blast – Fast, multi-threaded serving engine for web browsing AI agents 20 by calebhwin | 9 comments on Hacker News. Hi HN! BLAST is a high-performance serving engine for browser-augmented LLMs, designed to make deploying web-browsing AI easy, fast, and cost-manageable. The goal with BLAST is to ultimately achieve google search level latencies for tasks that currently require a lot of typing and clicking around inside a browser. We're starting off with automatic parallelism, prefix caching, budgeting (memory and LLM cost), and an OpenAI-Compatible API but have a ton of ideas in the pipe! Website & Docs: https://ift.tt/YgSsNIB https://ift.tt/Gg4rpOX MIT-Licensed Open-Source: https://ift.tt/lSckMgD Hope some folks here find this useful! Please let me know what you think in the comments or ping me on Discord. — Caleb (PhD student @ Stanford CS)
