Tell HN: Gemini trains on chat history, even for subscribers (personal accounts) 495 by jameslk | 129 comments on Hacker News. If you have a personal Google AI subscription, all your saved chat history in Gemini can be used for training and there is no way to opt out unless you turn off chat history or use temporary chat sessions. These chat transcripts may even be read by human reviewers.

Show HN: Subvocal – Talk to your computer without making noise 478 by aarushyadav | 263 comments on Hacker News. Hi HN, we're Aarush and Arnav from The Subvocal Company (YC F26) ( https://ift.tt/ejwJz7U ). We’re building smart glasses that let you talk to your computer without talking out loud. You can mouth words silently and discreetly and the glasses decode them to text at the speed of speech. Here's a video of Dave from YC trying it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QdX1eObVYI (Edit: you don't actually have to move your lips or even open your mouth for this to work! Since the RF can see inside your mouth the system can be fine tuned on "internal speech". This isn't the automatic tongue movements that occur when "thinking" words to yourself, but more like mouthing with your lips closed. It's a bit weird to do, but with practice, we have been able to get it down pretty well.) Arnav and I were studying CS at Georgia Tech at the beginnin...

Show HN: HackerBooks – HackerTube, but for books mentioned on HN 443 by roansh | 121 comments on Hacker News. Saw Karpathy's HackerTube and wanted the same thing for books. So I had Claude build one (Opus 5.5). It's ~16.5k books that at least two different HN commenters brought up, from 2007 till now. Each book links back to the comments that mentioned it. Data is downloadable from the about page. To be clear: Claude wrote almost all of it, including the data pipeline and the site. I mostly steered and made calls, bought the domain name, etc. It counts mentions, so it's not perfect (praising a book and trashing it both count). If your favourite book is missing or matched to the wrong thing, tell me.

Who knows, maybe there is a little girl whose dream is to be a writer and singer. The seeds of these dreams are often found in books and the seeds you help plant in your community can grow across the world.”

I am a developer of https://ift.tt/mGu2jEY, a popular photo editor that runs in a web browser. Many people are asking AI models to take the Javascript code from my website, remove all ads from it, and they publish such a "new product" on Github for everyone to download. There exist tens of such repositories on Github. I want my website to be the only source of a stable version of my program Photopea. I even received emails from people complaining about something in Photopea, and it took several emails to figure out that they are not using Photopea.com (so it ruins my reputation a little). I reported it to Github on the 4th of September 2026: https://ift.tt/pPmlQJb Today, a month later, I received this response: Thank you for submitting a DMCA takedown notice.
