Ask HN: How to Judge a Hackathon
I’m going back to my Alma mater as a jury member for a 24hour hackathon. It’s been a while since I was on the college and hackathon circuit, so I am a little rusty on how and what to judge in the hackathon.
Any tips, ideas and experiences you guys have will be super helpful.

Show HN: NeKernel – Modular C++ Kernel with early BootNet support
Just pushed a new commit to NeKernel, a modular C++ kernel built from scratch.
This update introduces BootNet, a WIP network boot fallback module. If the kernel fails to load, BootNet is designed to recover by booting from a packet. EEPROM update support is planned, but not yet implemented.
Repo: https://github.com/amlel-el-mahrouss/nekernel Docs: https://amlel-el-mahrouss.github.io/nekernel-docs/
Feedback welcome.

Who's building open source personal AI
Here's the thing. I want a personalized AI. Full stop.
There's no arguing back and forth.
Tech is here someone needs to put it together.
I'm so busy with other things, but I really want to see this thing come through and happy to work on it.
To me, its insane Apple didn't figure it out.
The goal: Build a truly personalized AI.
- Single threaded conversation with an index about everything.
- Bot should be accessible via WhatsApp, Insta, Email, or a phone call through an app (WebRTC connection).
(https://botpress.com/ is a really good starting point).
- Operator at the back that has login access to almost all tools I use, but critical actions must have HITL.
- Bot should be accessible via a call on the app or Apple Watch.
https://sesame.com/ type model and this is very doable with https://docs.pipecat.ai especially their new release that allows for long running function calls.
Speech detection (VAD) is still a problem, but I think its more of systems engineering problem than ML problem. Interruptions need to feel smooth.
But this is not a blocker. What exists is good enough.
- It can should be able to digest images, voice notes, etc.
- everything should fall into a single personal index (vector db).
One of the things could be, sharing 4 amazon links of some books I want to read and sending those links over WhatsApp to this agent.
It finds the PDFs for the books from https://libgen.is and indexes it.
I phone call the AI and I can have an intelligent conversation about the subject matter with my AI about the topic.
I do this a lot with xAI's Grok and its a surprisingly effective tool.
I give zero fucks about issues like piracy at the moment.
I want to later add more capable agents as tools to this AI.
