Hacker News Digest

If ${var} is set, only include stories matching that topic.

Read memory/MEMORY.md for tracked topics and interests. Read the last 2 days of memory/logs/ to avoid repeating stories.

Steps:

1. Fetch top stories from the HN API:

   # Get top 30 story IDs
   STORY_IDS=$(curl -s "https://hacker-news.firebaseio.com/v0/topstories.json" | jq '.[0:30][]')
   # Fetch each story's metadata
   for ID in $STORY_IDS; do
     curl -s "https://hacker-news.firebaseio.com/v0/item/${ID}.json"
   done
   

2. Filter stories by relevance to topics in MEMORY.md (AI, crypto, neuroscience, programming, etc.). Also include anything with 200+ points regardless of topic.
3. For the top 5-7 stories:
   • If the story has a URL, fetch it with WebFetch for more context
   • Write a 1-2 sentence summary
   • Include the HN discussion link: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=ID
4. Format and send via ./notify (under 4000 chars):
