Show HN: Sift – local hybrid search CLI in a single Rust binary

Hacker News - Tue, 03/10/2026 - 12:19am

Built this for agentic workflows where you need repeatable, low-latency search over local codebases and docs without standing up a daemon or an indexing service.

Pipeline is Expansion → BM25/phrase/vector Retrieval → RRF Fusion → optional Qwen reranking. Each stage is independently tunable.

The part I found most interesting to build: the caching layer is modeled after Zig's build system. A BLAKE3 manifest store tracks filesystem metadata so sift knows which files changed without re-reading them. A content-addressable blob store holds pre-extracted text, BM25 term frequencies, and pre-embedded vectors — so repeat queries skip neural inference entirely and go straight to dot-product scoring. Identical files across projects share a single blob entry.

Benchmarked on SciFact (5,185 docs): vector hits 0.826 nDCG@10 with perfect recall at ~26ms p50. BM25 alone is 5ms if latency is the constraint.

Show HN: RACKS! Give your AI agent a Visa card in 60 seconds

Hacker News - Tue, 03/10/2026 - 12:08am

Hey HN. I'm building RACKS, a platform that lets developers give AI agents real purchasing power through single-use virtual Visa cards.

The agent requests a card, gets one for the exact amount, makes the purchase, card self-destructs. No crypto, no new payment protocols, just Visa rails that work everywhere (95% authorization).

I built this because I kept running into the same wall; my agents could browse, reason, and plan, but the moment they needed to actually buy something, I had to step in manually.

We have an OpenClaw skill, Claude MCP & even a Python SDK (pip install racks) so you can plug it anywhere in about a minute.

Early access is live at rackspay.com. Would love feedback from all interested.

Ask HN: Can Sim2Real gap in robotics be closed?

Hacker News - Tue, 03/10/2026 - 12:07am

I noticed that some people are working on trying to close the gap of the Sim2Real, but most of the videos are on the physical stuff that are rigid. Sim2Real gap happens when the stuff are more unpredictable (i.e. cloth, rubber, etc)

Thoughts on this?
