I’ve played Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, and it could be the epic tactical RPG that defines the Nintendo Switch 2 — here’s why it’s already got me hooked
The year was 2013. I can remember the sheer excitement I felt as I stepped into my local video game store and laid eyes on the title that I’d been desperate to play for months. I’d brought a bag filled with Nintendo DS games that I’d played to near death, traded them in at the counter, and finally got my hands on the 3DS release that changed my gaming life for good: Fire Emblem Awakening.Awakening was the game that truly got me into RPGs. Its vibrant cast of character

‘If it was opt in, nobody would opt in’: Amazon’s AI is being trained on your Twitch streams unless you turn it off — here’s how to stop it
Twitch has revealed that user streams are training Amazon’s AIYou have to actively opt out to prevent this from happeningThe community has reacted with fury over the moveIf there’s one thing a sizeable proportion of the population hates more than artificial intelligence (AI), it’s being opted in to having their data automatically fed into an AI for training.

Ask HN: Responsible/trustable background check companies?
Hi,I am on the board of a community organization that works with kids, and is required by insurance to have key volunteers go though a basic criminal background check.I have a good relationship with these folks and they are well-meaning, but not attuned to tech and privacy the way we are here on HN.Are there a couple of reputable background check companies that do their job, without feeding into the personal data sales/credit/advertising industries?Is there some way to validate their T
AlgoVerse: watching algorithms think at 60fps in the browser
Algorithms you can watch thinkA sorting algorithm is a set of decisions unfolding over time. A textbook flattens that into pseudocode and a Big-O label, and something is lost — you can memorize that quicksort is O(n log n) on average without ever seeing why it degrades on a sorted array. AlgoVerse is my attempt to put the time dimension back: a client-side platform where you watch data structures and algorithms actually run, step by step, at 60fps.There's a live demo, and the whole thing r
Building Netra: an edge-AI camera that tracks you on its own
A camera that decides where to lookMost hobby surveillance projects stop at "stream a webcam to a browser." Netra doesn't. It's a closed-loop system: an ESP32-CAM streams frames, a YOLOv8 model finds the person in them, and the result drives two servos that physically turn the camera to keep that person centered — all coordinated over MQTT. The name comes from the Sanskrit word for eye, and that's the honest description of what it is: an eye that moves on its own.It started as a Microproce
New EU Guidelines For AI Labelling
There’s been a lot of confusion and panic this week about “huge fines”, “drastic measures” and “sweeping new AI rules” in the EU. In reality, it’s a lot more narrow — and a lot more sensible. And mostly it’s about making AI more obvious when it actually needs to be obvious — especially for AI-generated content.Starting from Aug 2, 2026, AI labelling is a legal requirement for any company that serves EU citizens. And similar to European Accessibility Act, it’s not limited to EU companies. It affe

My Brilliant Career has cured my period drama-hating past by being the best TV show I've seen on Netflix this year — but don't expect it to be a Bridgerton bonkbuster
In the mid 2000s, I was fascinated with the reality TV show Aussie Ladette to Lady. It branded a "new breed" of Australian woman as loud, vulgar, and unfit for any self-respecting society, thrusting them into weeks-long sophistication training that, of course, never lasted. In a nutshell, this is also the premise for the new Netflix series My Brilliant Career.In hindsight, the former TV show was nothing but an excuse to vilify a new kind of 'modern woman' for the sake

How I structure React Next.js patterns across every client project
Every new Next.js project I start has the same skeleton. Not because I copy-paste a boilerplate, but because I've converged on a set of React Next.js patterns that solve the same class of problems every time — server-first rendering, predictable data flow, typed boundaries, and consistent error handling. This post documents those patterns so I can point clients and collaborators at something concrete. Server components by default, client components by exceptionThe App Router made server com
