Show HN: Unreal Engine 4 WASM space game
Note that the demo may take up to 30 seconds to load, and initially present a white screen. I can assure you - it's worth the wait!

Show HN: Patterns – Habit Tracker App
Hi everyone<p>I'm a Notion-addicted person and love to build my own template to cover different aspects of my life, either work or personal stuff. Once, I wanted to build a habit tracker template, and I realized Notion was not the best solution. You can organize it in a much more efficient way just with a pen and a piece of paper. However, the best tool should live on your devices and have a correct structure. Then, I decided to try to build an app using SwiftUI and SwiftData.<p>The goal was to make it a very basic version in one month. But it took me two months. I tried to add only the core features for MVP and see if it works for others. On Twitter, it already received some love, and I'm very excited to share the app here to get even more feedback.<p>Let me know what you think

Show HN: Open-source model and scorecard for measuring hallucinations in LLMs
Hi all! This morning, we released a new Apache 2.0 licensed model on HuggingFace for detecting hallucinations in retrieval augmented generation (RAG) systems.<p>What we've found is that even when given a "simple" instruction like "summarize the following news article," every LLM that's available hallucinates to some extent, making up details that never existed in the source article -- and some of them quite a bit. As a RAG provider and proponents of ethical AI, we want to see LLMs get better at this. We've published an open source model, a blog more thoroughly describing our methodology (and some specific examples of these summarization hallucinations), and a GitHub repository containing our evaluation from the most popular generative LLMs available today. Links to all of them are referenced in the blog here, but for the technical audience here, the most interesting additional links might be:<p>- <a href="https://huggingface.co/vectara/hallucination_evaluation_model" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://huggingface.co/vectara/hallucination_evaluation_mode...</a><p>- <a href="https://github.com/vectara/hallucination-leaderboard">https://github.com/vectara/hallucination-leaderboard</a><p>We hope that releasing these under a truly open source license and detailing the methodology, we hope to increase the viability of anyone really quantitatively measuring and improving the generative LLMs they're publishing.
Show HN: Ts-Chan – Go-Like Concurrency Primitives for TypeScript/JavaScript
Hey HN,<p>I’m sharing ts-chan, an NPM package providing Go-like concurrency primitives, including channels and select statements, for TypeScript and JavaScript, supporting Node.js, Deno, Bun, and browsers.<p>This is something I've built to make implementing Go-style "control loops" feasible in JavaScript, but there are many possible applications.<p>Highlights:<p>- Features a FIFO processing Chan class and versatile Select class for concurrency control.
- Supports buffered channel and channel close semantics very close to Go's.
- TypeScript-first implementation.
- Defines a simple "channel protocol" inspired by JavaScript's iteration protocols, that's used by `Select`, and implemented by `Chan`.
- Makes an effort to mitigate cycles caused by the behavior of JavaScript's microtask queue.
- Ongoing project with active iteration for a production-ready module (pre-v1, so the API isn't guaranteed to be stable, but the implementation itself is).<p>NPM: ts-chan

Show HN: Jeeves – A Pythonic Alternative to GNU Make
Write a Python file named `jeeves.py` in your project directory with contents:<p><pre><code> import sh
def lint():
"""Lint your Python project."""
sh.mypy()
</code></pre>
This, together with<p><pre><code> pip install jeeves-shell[all]
</code></pre>
makes it possible to do<p><pre><code> j lint
</code></pre>
…which will run mypy for you, and, via the omnipotent `j` command, open ways for<p>• Automation of routine tasks,<p>• Standardization of your projects,<p>• Implementation of best practices,<p>• And more :)<p>Github: <a href="https://github.com/jeeves-sh/jeeves-shell/">https://github.com/jeeves-sh/jeeves-shell/</a>
Show HN: LLaVaVision: An AI "Be My Eyes"-like web app with a llama.cpp backend
A simple mobile web app inspired by Fuzzy-Search/realtime-bakllava that uses llama.cpp server backend with multimodal mode to describe and narrate what the phone camera sees.<p>I built this thing in a few hours using a single ChatGPT thread to generate most things for me and iterate on this project.

Show HN: Ladder, open source alternative to 12ft.io and 1ft.io
Hey there<p>I made a opensource alternative for these services. Although these worked very well, I was not so confident what they do. So I made my own and opensourced it.<p>It is written in Golang and is fully customizable.
