Show HN: Philosophy for Kids Sometimes my son asks me &#x27;why&#x27; questions that could be answered well by a kid-friendly philosophy article. But I don&#x27;t know where to find those, so I ask Claude or ChatGPT, and have a specific workflow for getting the type of output I want.<p>I figured other people might find those AI-generated articles helpful, so I put them here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;philosophy.ocaho.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;philosophy.ocaho.com&#x2F;</a><p>There&#x27;s a search box at the top.

Show HN: Afterburner – Capability-Sandboxed JavaScript/TS Runtime in Rust Hey everyone! I&#x27;ve been working on something called Afterburner: a fast, embeddable JS&#x2F;TS runtime written in Rust, with a capability sandbox baked right in.<p>Scripts run locked down by default: no network, no filesystem, no environment variables. You explicitly grant whatever access a script actually needs, and every call gets hard caps on CPU, memory, and time.<p>The goal isn&#x27;t to replace your existing stack. It&#x27;s to fit cleanly into it:<p>Embed a JS&#x2F;TS engine in your Rust app with a single crate. Run user scripts, plugins, business rules, or edge logic, each call fully sandboxed. Wrap the tools you already use. Commands like `burn node app.js`, `burn npm test`, `burn bun`, `burn deno run`, and `burn npx tsx` run your existing toolchain under the sandbox. Take an unmodified Express, Fastify, or Hono app and run it with zero ambient I&#x2F;O and a memory ceiling. No code changes needed. Use the built-in registry at registry.afterburner.sh. Publish with `burn publish`, install with `burn install` or `burn add` dependencies are pinned by content digest. Every package ships with a capability manifest, so installed code is sandboxed by default. It also interops with npm, so you can still pull in npm libraries as needed. Since nothing gets ambient authority, it&#x27;s also just a clean, practical way to run untrusted code without having to cross your fingers and hope.<p>Repo: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;afterburner-sh&#x2F;afterburner" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;afterburner-sh&#x2F;afterburner</a> Site: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;afterburner.sh" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;afterburner.sh</a> Registry: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;registry.afterburner.sh" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;registry.afterburner.sh</a><p>The full walkthrough like how it works, what it can do, and benchmarks hitting up to ~16.8M rows&#x2F;sec is all in one post. It&#x27;s the best place to start: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;vertexclique.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;burn-after-reading&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;vertexclique.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;burn-after-reading&#x2F;</a><p>One licensing note: it&#x27;s source-available under BSL-1.1, which automatically converts to Apache-2.0 four years after each release. Free to use for your own projects so go build something.

Show HN: Capacitor Alarm Clock I made an alarm clock that blows up capacitors to wake you up.<p>There are more details on the Github repo but it&#x27;s made from an esp32-c3 as the microcontroller, with 3 capacitor slots. There are relays on each capacitor slot to put 15v reverse voltage on the capacitor, with 5.1 ohm resistors on each slot for current limiting in case the capacitor shorts out. I also chucked in an SSD1315 OLED to show the time and a menu to configure it, although there&#x27;s a web UI as well. The esp32 also means you can fetch the time from NTP.<p>It also functions as a small heater since I used LDOs to step down 15v to 3.3v for the esp32, I was lazy and didn&#x27;t use a buck converter circuit :)

Show HN: Sabela – A Reactive Notebook for Haskell Sabela is a reactive notebook for Haskell. The name is the Ndebele word for &quot;to respond.&quot; Cells respond to each other on change. Initially it was meant as a tool for working with data but it has turned out to have a lot of pedagogical value outside of data analysis work.<p>There is a gallery to read through on the website and a number of examples in the repo showcasing things like:<p>* Python interop * Widgets and animation * Exploratory data analysis<p>If you find any of this interesting please try it out. Any feedback is welcome.
