Show HN: Are You in the Weights?

turtlesoup — Thu, 18 Jun 2026 20:49:03 +0000

With more traffic moving off-web and into LLMs, I got curious about what traces we leave "in the weights". My design partner and I built a site in the past few weeks that checks recognition across frontier and small models. It queries many of them in parallel, clusters the responses, and tells you how strongly they recognize you. Happy to answer any questions here!

Show HN: An 8-bit live gamecast for baseball

brownrout — Wed, 17 Jun 2026 16:44:15 +0000

Hey HN, I built a website to watch live baseball games in an 8-bit broadcast. It takes live MLB data streams and converts them into near real-time pixel art gamecasts.

Been waiting to share this for when there’s actually a good slate of games happening since the site is pretty bare otherwise.

Here is today's schedule:

Mets @ Reds - 9:40am PDT https://ribbie.tv/watch/game/824503

Royals @ Nationals - 10:05am PDT https://ribbie.tv/watch/game/822721

Marlins @ Phillies - 10:05am PDT https://ribbie.tv/watch/game/823450

Tigers @ Astros - 11:10am PDT https://ribbie.tv/watch/game/824178

Padres @ Cardinals - 11:15am PDT https://ribbie.tv/watch/game/823044

..and another 14 games throughout the later day.

I'm still early on in this project, but I've tried to add little details with actual stadiums, day and night modes, between inning graphics and interstitials, live scoreboards, etc.

Would love any feedback and ideas. Thanks for checking it out!
