Show HN: How much gold, silver, or Plutonium-238 does 1 BTC buy?

Hacker News - Wed, 05/20/2026 - 1:36pm

I built this fun visualizer to show how much physical commodity bitcoin buys. I've launched with gold, silver, Plutonium-238, and one other substance that’ll never get a ticker symbol. And there's a dog for scale. It's all client-side math, open data, SvelteKit + Three.js. Click the Satoshi, Strategy, and US Govt presets to see what each stack buys, slide the slider all the way from 1 sat to 21 million bitcoin, turn on the Geiger counter when you find it.

Show HN: P-Hacker – group/analyze HN trends by topic (not just keywords)

Hacker News - Wed, 05/20/2026 - 1:35pm

I'd seen various HN trends tools over the years ([1] [2]), but they all used strict keyword (n-gram) matching. That limited a) how sophisticated any trend-surfacing could be and b) the depth with which you could explore the full discussion around any topic. How can you tell what people are saying about, e.g., agentic coding when you have to search for a dozen applicable keywords at once?

So I built p-Hacker, which uses a ML pipeline to cluster the HN corpus into distinct topics and spot current trends beyond simple keyword frequencies (though it does that, too). You can search for full topics or simple keywords, and compare them side-by-side.

I started off running it on my laptop just to work out the mechanics, but after lots of iteration thought maybe I should put it online publicly. There's lots of room for improvement (the data only goes back about two years, nightly updates take a couple of hours, item topic membership could be improved).

Feedback welcome.
