Ask HN: Why doesn't Netflix add a “Theater Mode” that recreates the worst parts?

Hacker News - Sat, 02/07/2026 - 4:34pm

The idea is to recreate the entire movie theater experience, including the worst parts.

This mode would add audience reactions like laughter, gasps, and clapping at key moments, so movies feel like an event again.

But it would also faithfully recreate the true theater experience:

* People shouting comments at the screen like they are part of the movie

* Someone standing up at the exact worst moment and blocking your view

* A person behind you explaining the plot to their friend in a whisper that is somehow louder than normal talking

* Random coughing fits that last way too long

* Someone’s phone lighting up like a small sun during a dark scene

* Constant seat shuffling and aggressive snack rustling

This feature would remind people why watching movies at home is better. Conveniently, on Netflix.

What do you think of this idea?

Show HN: Engineering Perception with Combinatorial Memetics

Hacker News - Sat, 02/07/2026 - 4:28pm

Hello, World!

Need your help, urgently! :)

Long-time lurker, newly and hopefully valuable HN poster soon.

My X account is currently classified as "Probable Spam" after I made 1,078 posts over the last 7 days (lol).

Any chance ya'll can explore the above, then if you are delighted to please interact with my account to counter the "Probable Spam" classification?

Thank you!

P.S. "Show HN is for something you've made that other people can play with. HN users can try it out, give you feedback, and ask questions in the thread." <-- I hope this qualifies when related to Combinatorial Memetics!

LLM as an Engineer vs. a Founder?

Hacker News - Sat, 02/07/2026 - 4:24pm

Every day I'm seeing blogs on here about the impact of AI on software engineering. Sentiment seems split between AI eventually automating the software engineer role away, vs AI produces too many bugs to displace senior engineers.

I feel like many of the AI insights featured on hackernews are from the software engineers Point of View?

There's also the perspective of vibe-coded-to-prod disaster scenarios.

For me, as a software engineer with nearly 20 years experience, AI is already more trustworthy than many contractors I've worked with over the years.

As a founder/product manager, a lot of trust is put into the engineers building the platforms. The Founder <-> Implementer interaction already involves huge amounts of trust. Things happen all the times, and C-suite executives don't have the ability to fix themselves.

My interpretation is that a lot of engineers are just encountering this trust relationship for the first time with AI. We're trusting AI (a ~contractor) to do something to spec. Advanced engineers are able to audit the AI output at a very deep level.

For founders / product managers / executives, this relationship is nothing new, and we already trust other parties to implement our code.

What does everyone think?

Going from contractor to LLM is actually a huge benefit to me, LLM has a much faster feedback loop than human contractors, costs a fraction and has a lower base rate of error (in my experience). Nothing new with the trust model.

Show HN: 26/02/26 – 5 songs in a day

Hacker News - Sat, 02/07/2026 - 4:22pm

I’ve been home alone today, so made myself a challenge to write 5 songs from scratch and then showcase them with a simple website and player. The music is all me, the website is Claude with me guiding design decisions. Hope you like it.

Show HN: a glimpse into the future of eye tracking for multi-agent use

Hacker News - Sat, 02/07/2026 - 4:14pm

Hi HN, I’m the creator of glimpsh.

glimpsh is an experimental project exploring gaze input inside the terminal. The idea is to treat eye tracking as a secondary input signal alongside keyboard and mouse.

One motivating use case is multi-agent management. Using gaze to quickly switch focus between running agents or processes, inspect state, or trigger context-sensitive actions without constant keybindings.

I’m also interested in pushing on the quality of commodity eye-tracking software as an HCI tool. Webcam-based eye tracking is widely available but often inaccurate and underexplored in real interfaces. This project is a way to stress-test those tools in a demanding UI environment.

I’m curious about combining gaze with other high-bandwidth input, especially voice. Systems like Wispr suggest that voice plus gaze could work well together, for example in terminal multiplexors where gaze establishes focus and short commands trigger actions.

This is not meant to replace efficient keyboard-driven workflows. Many users are already extremely fast with keybindings. The goal is to explore whether gaze and voice can act as complementary tools when managing many concurrent agents or streams of information.

This is very early and experimental. I’d especially love feedback on:

whether gaze as a secondary input makes sense in terminal workflows

multi-agent or TUI use cases that might benefit

accessibility implications

thoughts on combining gaze and voice in developer tools

Happy to answer questions or dig into implementation details.
