In 1991, Federal Panel Blasts Vaccine Unavailability That Led To A Measles Epidemic
The apocryphal quote supposedly from Mark Twain is one of my favorites: “History does not repeat, but it does often rhyme.” Now, there is no evidence that Twain ever actually authored these words, but it’s incredible how true they tend to be regardless.

Show HN: Pulse Local, a Mac budgeting app whose AI models run on your machine
Reply sourceHi 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.

Show HN: Parsimony – an open-source benchmark for how much code AI models add
Reply sourceExisting benchmarks measure solve rate and token output/cost, but don't punish excess code, which makes a codebase harder to work with in the long term. I wanted to measure this since it matters most for long-term projects.
Method: it takes the patches that benchmarks already publish (DeepSWE, SWE-bench Verified, SWE-bench Live) and counts "coding units": syntax elements like statements, calls, names and literals. I didn't use lines of code, so cramming code isn't rewarded. Deleted code is subtracted, so it measures net units.
GPT-6 and Claude 5.5 have no public patches yet, so I ran them myself on 3–10 tasks on my own subscriptions (shown as faded circles, not ranked).
Any feedback or model contributions are welcome, especially public patch exports for newer models.

Not affiliated with any of the benchmarks.

Show HN: go-git2 – 10-100x faster than go-git, libgit2 -> WASM -> Go
Reply sourcego-git2 is a Go git library (read-only for now) using libgit2 transpiled to Go with wasm2go. As a result, it builds with CGO_ENABLED=0 and cross-compiles without a C toolchain. It supports 64-bit Linux, macOS, and Windows today.
While go-git has been great for my uses, its performance on larger repos and quirky differences from the git CLI output have been tricky to work with. I'm a huge fan of wasm2go and go-sqlite3 and wanted to apply the same approach and see what could be done. Incredibly happy with the results thus far, with 10-100x improvements on my real-world use cases. On the django repo, finding commits touching a file goes from 40s with go-git to 350ms, against 255ms for git itself. And the only unsafe is in wasm2go's bounds-checked memory accesses!
The API follows go-git v5, so read-only code is mostly a drop-in (still a few constructs to port). Write support is down the road.
The main module is MIT and the libgit2 module keeps the upstream license (GPLv2 w/ linking exception).
Give it a go!

Looks good. I built the branch with docker build -f docker/Dockerfile . and it works, with docker/Dockerfile.dockerignore picked up (a 3.9 MB build context against 14 MB on disk). The other Dockerfile mentions left in the repo are all about the one create-indiekit generates for users, so nothing else needs to move. One knock-on: building from a checkout is now -f docker/Dockerfile rather than a plain docker build .; I’ll update the quickstart’s instructions once this is merged.
