Show HN: Ternary Computer System
Hi everyone!
I'm an Italian programmer, very passionate about computer architecture. Some time ago I realized that some architectures potentially much superior to the classic VonNeumann, have been forgotten because there were no reliable technical solutions to implement them.<p>One of these architectures particularly struck me and it is the "Dataflow architecture", in which there is no Program counter, but the instructions are executed in real contemporaneity whenever the operands are available.<p>In trying to find a technical solution that implements this type of architecture effectively (spoiler: yes, maybe I succeeded but I still have to test the real correct functioning!) I realized that this solution works more than well with three logical states. And at this point I discovered that perhaps it is better to implement a CPU with three states (ternary) instead of a white one. This as a first step to realize my dataflow solution.<p>Obviously a world has opened up to me regarding ternary CPUs, I have discovered not only that they are the best solution implemented for a computing device, but also that an increasing number of university and researcher papers are dealing with them in recent times.<p>This is also thanks to the enormous potential compared to normal CPUs; lower circuit complexity (and also lower consumption and lower heat production) but at the same time the truly formidable information representation capabilities compared to binary counterparts!<p>So here I am creating this ternary CPU and all the hardware and software to be able to use it immediately. In the link you have found some other details, but obviously for questions, suggestions or anything else you can insert your comment here!

Show HN: Replace CAPTCHAs with WebAuthn passkeys for bot prevention
I built Nocaptcha after getting frustrated with traditional CAPTCHAs both as a user and developer. WebAuthn passkeys offered a promising alternative that's both more secure and user-friendly.<p>What makes Nocaptcha different:
- Uses WebAuthn standard instead of puzzle-solving
- No need for users to remember passwords or solve puzzles
- Open source<p>Current limitation:
Working with W3C WebAuthn Community Group on true passkey disposal for this use case.<p>Looking for feedback particularly on:
1. Integration experience
2. User experience compared to traditional CAPTCHAs

Show HN: I built an HTML5 RTL-SDR application
There are lots of RTL-SDR applications, but you have to install them. I used the HTML5 USB API that exists in Chrome (did you know about it?) to build one that you can run straight from your browser, on your computer or your Android phone.

Show HN: Cut the crap – remove AI bullshit from websites
I’ve spent a lot of time reading articles that promise a lot but never give me what I’m looking for. They’re full of clickbait titles, scary claims, and pointless filler. It’s frustrating, and it’s a waste of my time.<p>So I made a tool. You give it a URL, and it tries to cut through all that noise. It gives you a shorter version of the content without all the nonsense. I built this because I’m tired of falling for the same tricks. I just want the facts, not a bunch of filler.<p>What do you think? I’m also thinking of making a Chrome extension that does something similar—like a reader mode, but one that actually removes the crap that gets in the way of real information. Feedback welcome.

Show HN: Random Caplocks Prank
I was building a program that needed to allow a user to set a hotkey but the program lives in the taskbar so there's no UI. I decided what I would do is enable the caplock key when they click "Set Hotkey" and then they can disable the caplock key (or set it to its initial state, rather) to indicate they have finished.<p>That project is still going but I got sidetracked by the idea that I could just build a program to randomly enable the caplock key every once in a while.<p>This isn't a program designed to calculate child malnutrition or do anything to stop genocide etc but I was able to do it in a few hours and learn some new tricks.<p>I hope this isn't too stupid for HN.
