Show HN: Spice simulation → oscilloscope → verification with Claude Code

I built MCP servers for my oscilloscope and SPICE simulator so Claude Code can close the loop between simulation and real hardware.

Aliens.gov Resolves – To a WordPress "Site Not Found" Error
9 by ascarola | 2 comments on Hacker News.
After a month of "Stay tuned! " from White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly, the U.S. government's long-awaited UFO disclosure portal has achieved a major milestone: it now returns what appears to be a WordPress multisite configuration error instead of nothing. Progress. The domain was registered by CISA on March 17th amid much fanfare following Trump's directive to release classified files on UAPs, extraterrestrial life, and "any and all other information connected to these highly complex but extremely interesting and important matters." The Pentagon got involved. Avi Loeb wrote a think piece. A cottage industry of fake mirror sites (aliens-gov.online, aliensgov.online, etc.) sprang up overnight. The actual government site? SITE_NOT_FOUND. To be fair, this is likely a CMS multisite DNS/mapping issue — the server is live, the content just hasn't been deployed yet. So disclosure is technically imminent, in the same way that a 90s GeoCities page was technically imminent once you bought the domain. The real question is whether the classified files revealing 70 years of extraterrestrial contact will be organized with Categories, Tags, and a sidebar widget showing Recent Posts. :)

Interesting to see that the entrepreneurs from more recent years tend to be doing well relative to years prior. Some interesting future directions could be: - Expanding search to be global and include more competitions, like biology and chemistry - Improving search so less unknown results - Showing insights, like trends over the years Kudos to Perplexity Computer for making this

Show HN: Marky – A lightweight Markdown viewer for agentic coding

Hey HN, In this age of agentic coding I've found myself spending a lot of time reviewing markdown files. Whether it's plans or documentation that I've asked my agent to generate for me, it seems that I spend more time reading markdown than code. I've tried a few different solutions to make it easier to read such as Obsidian however I've found their Vault system to be quite limiting for this use case and I've found TUI solutions to not quite be as friendly to read as I've wanted so I made Marky. Marky is a lightweight desktop application that makes it incredibly easy to read and track your markdown files. It also has a helpful cli so you can just run marky FILENAME and have the app open to the md file that you pointed it at. I've been using the daily over the past week and I really enjoy it so I figured I'd share it. Here's a video if you want to check out a demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGBxt8uOVjc . I have plans to add more features such as incorporating agentic tools such as claude code and codex into the UI as well as developing a local git diff reviewer to allow me to do local code review before pushing up to git. I'd love to hear your thoughts and any feature suggestions you may have :)

Show HN: I built a Wikipedia based AI deduction game

I haven't seen anything like this so I decided to build it in a weekend. How it works: You see a bunch of things pulled from Wikipedia displayed on cards. You ask yes or no questions to figure out which card is the secret article. The AI model has access to the image and wiki text and it's own knowledge to answer your question. Happy to have my credits burned for the day but I'll probably have to make this paid at some point so enjoy. I found it's not easy to get cheap+fast+good responses but the tech is getting there. Most of the prompts are running through Groq infra or hitting a cache keyed by a normalization of the prompt.

Ask HN: Is Claude Getting Worse?

It feels like most Claude Code users have already noticed a quality drop in the Claude models. As a Claude Pro subscriber (Web version; I don't use Claude Code), I’ve seen a clear decline over the last couple of weeks. I can’t complete tasks in a single turn anymore. Claude often stops streaming because it hits some internal tool-call/turn limit, so I have to keep pressing “Continue.” Each continuation has to re-feed context, which quickly burns through tokens and quota. The model also makes more mistakes and fails to fully complete tasks it used to handle reliably. This is especially frustrating because Sonnet 4.6 was a real step up: it could produce long, correct code in one pass much more often. That seems basically gone now. As a paying Pro user, I honestly find myself using free alternatives like DeepSeek and Z.ai (GLM) more than Claude lately. I’ve also stopped touching Opus entirely—it’s so token-hungry that it drains my weekly quota too fast to be practical. Is Anthropic trying to limit usage or drive people away?
