Show HN: AI Hub – Open Access Lesson Plans for Teaching Students about AI
The AI Hub provides 91 curated lesson plans teaching middle and high school students about AI - how it works, what the risks and benefits of AI are, and how it is impacting society.
These activities come from six different nonprofit organizations that are building educational resources for classrooms. Our nonprofit worked with 16 different teachers to comb through more than 200 different resources, with the teachers vetting these resources to find the best resources for their classrooms. The end result is 91 different lesson plans and activities that cover a wide range of different topics.
Schools across Pittsburgh will be using these resources over the course of this year to help teach their students about AI, and they will be scaled up nationally over the coming years.
If you're a human that has thoughts or feedback, please drop a comment!
What's top of mind: "What else should we teach students?"
I'd appreciate any ideas you all have as we continue to build and refine this library of resources.

Show HN: PDF to ePub Conversion Tool for Mac
I read a lot on e-ink readers. Lately I switched to a very small e-reader and PDFs are ~useless on it. So I vibe coded out a quick Swift Command Line Utility that uses Apple's Native PDF, Vision and Intelligence APIs to scan, format, proofread and convert PDFs into ePubs. You can build the command line function for personal use, or download and install the Release. This installs as a Quick Action for pdf files in Finder. Though I would share this since I found it to be useful.

Show HN: Pulse Local, a Mac budgeting app whose AI models run on your machine
Hi HN, I'm Niz. Pulse Local is a budgeting app for Mac (Apple Silicon, beta) that answers questions about your spending with models that run on your machine. Local mode needs no account. The ledger and your questions stay on the machine, and the app sends no analytics or crash logs.
I felt there are not enough consumer apps that run locally with no calls to the outside world that help us manage sensitive corners of our lives. This app in its local variant only downloads a couple of models and occasional updates, it does not send any analytics nor data.
Features-wise, Pulse local is a complete budgeting app that offers an assistant built on top of a fine-tuned model and thousands of rules embedded in the code itself. I'm sharing it for free with options to help me continue experimenting with fine-tuning and expanding along this direction.
How it works: you import a CSV from any bank, in any currency. When you ask a question, a tuned Qwen3 0.6B model reads it into a structured query, and code, not the model, does the money math against the ledger. A 4B checker model double-checks each money answer; when the two readings disagree, the app says it is not sure instead of guessing. That change took wrong answers from about one in five to 5 in 494 questions across our last three tests. The write-up covers how we test, the designs that failed, and the limits of the claim: https://pulseos.finance/pulse-local/writing/agree-or-not-sur...
The tuned weights are on Hugging Face (PulseOS/pulse-local-qwen3-0.6b).
Limitations: the first start downloads about 2.9 GB of models. With the checker on, a money answer takes 12 to 14 seconds (you can turn the checker off). Small models can still misread an open-ended question. The app answers in English. Mac only for now; Windows is next.
The app is free. An optional Connected mode (Sync Pass, $29/year) syncs US banks through Plaid; transactions pass through our server's memory and are not stored.
Feedback welcome, especially on wrong answers and on questions it should handle but does not.
