Show HN: AI code reviewer that analyzes cross-module impacts
By Jet_Xu — June 22, 2024
LlamaPReview goes beyond diff-only reviews by retrieving related code across a repository, highlighting cross-file impacts with autogenerated diagrams, and triggering deep analysis for complex PRs. It’s free for public repos and testing monetization for private ones, raising debates about storing structural metadata versus zero-knowledge approaches. For engineering teams, the promise is fewer regressions and faster, safer code changes at scale.
Bacteria store sunlight to clean polluted soil at night
By Not specified — October 8, 2025
Scientists report that Bacillus megaterium teams up with iron minerals to form a bio-capacitor that stores solar energy by day and uses it at night to break down antibiotics in dark, saturated soils. The bacteria-mineral films significantly enhance charge storage and electron transfer, improving pollutant degradation without additional external power. The work points to new, low-energy pathways for remediating contaminated soils and groundwater.
American Planning Association Colorado highlights free Lead Service Line Replacement Cost Calculator
By Anthony Ross — October 8, 2025
EPHI’s free, multilingual calculator—aligned with EPA’s Lead and Copper Rule Improvements—has already been used to model more than $3 billion in replacement scenarios, helping governments plan equitable, compliant projects. Being featured by APA Colorado underscores its growing role in directing Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding to where public health risks are highest. It’s a practical tool that speeds up planning while strengthening transparency and compliance.
