Show HN: Converged – open-source ops layer for CNC shops and print bureaus

Wed, 02/18/2026 - 2:26am

A CNC shop or print bureau has two kinds of work: making things, and everything around it — incoming requests, client messages, order statuses, file handling, queue management, notifications, "is it ready yet?" at 11pm.

Converged handles the second part. It connects to the equipment (3D printers via Bambu/Marlin/Klipper, CNC machines), reads telemetry, manages work distribution across the fleet, and routes all client communication through one interface with an AI chat layer on top.

Built on Bun + Elysia, runs on a $100 SBC (Orange Pi), deploys to k3s. 49 microservices, modular — you activate only what you need. AGPL-3.0.

Show HN: Recall – Record Demos from the Browser

Wed, 02/18/2026 - 2:18am

After refusing to install another app to record a demo I created one for myself. Decided to share it, because why not.

Ask HN: Any AI / Agent power users out there? Do you have any tips?

Wed, 02/18/2026 - 2:15am

At my large tech company, we're all being pushed to use AI. I, and most people I work with, have had success using the chatbots and Cursor-style tools and more recently Claude Code to accelerate the process of writing code.

Yet, with a few people in my network, it's like they're living 10 years ahead. Guys are automating everything in their jobs, spinning up 10 specialized agents at a time and running multi-agent pipelines, just doing all sorts of crazy things with this tech that I just can't even fathom. It seems like it's making them way more productive.

I have found a way to fit code-writing and question-answering chatbots into my workflow. I have NOT done the same in terms of these crazy Agent setups. There's clearly a way to leverage these tools to turbocharge your productivity, like at least 2x or maybe even 10x. But what is it?

Are there any Agentic power users out there who can enlighten me? What are the best ways to take advantage of these new tools?

Show HN: Rick Voice – Give any bot Rick Sanchez's voice (Python, open source)

Wed, 02/18/2026 - 2:10am

I’ve been messing around with voice models and decided to make a Rick-style voice generator.

Plug it into your own AI assistant if you want.

And the repo if anyone wants to break it: https://github.com/mattzzz/rick-voice

Open to feedback or cursed lines to try.

Show HN: H.e.i.m.d.a.l.l – Telemetry-to-insight pipeline for fleet telemetry

Wed, 02/18/2026 - 1:35am

I built a pipeline for querying fleet telemetry (AVs, robots, vehicles) in natural language. Load Parquet or CSV into cuDF, then ask things like "Which vehicles exceeded 120 km/h in region X?" and get back IDs and metrics. Tech: cuDF for GPU ingest/analytics, NVIDIA NIM on GKE for LLM inference, format-aware model selection (GGUF local, TensorRT prod). Three notebooks: data ingest with pandas vs cuDF vs cudf.pandas benchmarks, local Gemma 2 inference, and full NIM deployment. Runs on Colab with a T4 for notebooks 1 and 2; notebook 3 uses GCP and NIM on GKE.

Show HN: MeterLogs – Track home energy usage without smart devices

Wed, 02/18/2026 - 1:33am

I built MeterLogs because most energy tracking solutions require smart devices, installers, or expensive hardware.

MeterLogs takes a pragmatic approach: you enter your monthly meter readings manually, and it generates simple yearly dashboards with grouped energy types (electricity, water, gas, etc.).

It’s designed for homeowners who just want a clear overview without IoT setups or subscriptions to hardware ecosystems.

I’d love feedback, especially on usability and pricing.
