80.1 % on LoCoMo Long-Term Memory Benchmark with a pure open-source RAG pipeline

I just pushed the current SOTA on the LoCoMo long-term memory benchmark for agents: 80.1 % accuracy using only:-BGE-large-en-v1.5 (1024d) + FAISS-Custom “MCA” gravitational ranking (keyword coverage + importance + frequency)-BM25 sparse retrieval-Direct Cross-Encoder reranking (bge-reranker-v2-m3) on the full union (~120-150 docs)-Gpt-4o-mini only for final answer generation and judging (everything else is open weights or classic)Repo: https://github.com/vac-architector/VAC-M

Show HN: Tickk – Voice task manager for brain dumps (offline, no AI, OSS)

I built this because I have ADHD and kept losing ideas during brain dumps. You know that feeling when your thoughts are racing at 400 WPM but your fingers can only type 40? That's where ideas die.Most voice apps either require cloud processing or use AI that I can't audit. I wanted something that captures the chaos without judgment, then helps organize it later.What it does:Brain dump by voice → Web Speech API transcribes → compromise.js (deterministic NLP) sorts into tasks/notes

Show HN: I built directory of fashion brands because I didn't know how to dress

Hi HN guys! I hope you have a happy day.A year ago, I was terrible at grooming and styling myself. To be honest, it severely affected my self-esteem and made me hesitant to even go outside.I didn't want to be a supermodel or hot—I just wanted to look like a normal person. But when I tried to find clothes, I hit a wall. I didn't know which brands were good, what style I liked, or where to start. I wasted hours just looking for a simple shirt.So, I decided to solve this problem the way I

Tested OpenAI's prompt caching across models. Found undocumented behavior

Been building an AI agent from scratch to understand token economics. Spent a week on prompt caching. Found something interesting that isn't in OpenAI's docs. Setup: Network device monitoring chatbot, 10 tools, ~1,400 token prefix. Tested gpt-4o-mini, gpt-5-mini, gpt-5. Logged cached_tokens from every response.Finding 1: Caching works as documented Once prefix exceeds 1024 tokens, OpenAI caches it automatically. I saw 80-90% cache hit rates after the first call. Cost reduction of 47-49

Ask HN: Where to start with AI as a software engineer after a long sabbatical?

I took a long sabbatical for part of 2024 and all of 2025. When I left the industry, coding with AI tools was not yet mainstream, particularly at the big tech company where I worked.<p>I am now looking to step back into a senior software engineer role, but the industry has evolved. What are some things I should know or resources I should review to get up to speed with the latest AI enhanced ways of building software? I'm interested in preparing for both real-world and interview scenarios.

Ask HN: Best learning path to build real apps with AI tools in 2025?

I’m working on MakersHub.dev, a community platform for makers learning to build with AI tools. As I talk to more beginners, I keep hearing the same question: “Where do I actually start?”The landscape has changed dramatically. Tools like Cursor, Claude Code, and Replit, are making it possible to build functional apps without years of traditional study. But there’s still a gap between “I can generate code” and “I can build and ship a complete app with auth, a database, and payments.”For someone st

Ask HN: Why aren't more startups using .NET?

Wanted to learn/try something new with my next start-up venture and decided to use .NET for my backend and it has been amazing so far.Very low learning curve, easy to separate functionality rather than relying on some mega AIO Next.js app, easy integration with cloud providers such as Azure, and it's already widely used in the industry (valuable experience to have).So why aren't start-ups using it more often? It seems like the perfect framework to build with in almost every capaci

Show HN: Whole-home VPN router with hardware kill switch (OpenWrt and WireGuard)

With internet censorship and surveillance on the rise, ie; UK Online Safety Bill (July 2025) and Australia's social media legislation (Dec 2025) introducing mandatory age verification (read: initial step on the pathway to social credit), I wanted a privacy-first solution that protects browsing history from ISPs and third-party verification services, but not one that requires you to be an Einstein to deploy.This stack turns a Raspberry Pi (or any OpenWrt-compatible device) into a network-wid

Show HN: The Participatory Interface Theory

Hi! I'd like to present the Participatory Interface Theory, aka PIT. It is not "woo". It IS an amazing example of what one human can do with LLMs these days, regardless of what you might think of the theory.But the theory is a mind-blower. Are you ready for this? I'm not kidding. And it's real. Calling all cosmologists and physicists and cybernetecists and AI researchers and information theorists and philosphers and biologists and chemists and artists and humanitarians a
