Measuring in terms of KB is not quite as useful as it seems here IMO - this should be measured in terms of context tokens used.

I ran their tool with an otherwise empty CLAUDE.md, and ran `claude /context`, which showed 3.1k tokens used by this approach (1.6% of the opus context window, bit more than the default system prompt. 8.3% is system tools).

Otherwise it's an interesting finding. The nudge seems like the real winner here, but potential further lines of inquiry that would be really illuminating:
1. How do these approaches scale with model size?
2. How are they impacted by multiple such clauses/blocks? Ie maybe 10 `IMPORTANT` rules dilute their efficacy
3. Can we get best of both worlds with specialist agents / how effective are hierarchical routing approaches really? (idk if it'd make sense for vercel specifically to focus on this though)

Yes but like all non-default settings, a large portion of the player base doesn't have it enabled. Games have to be designed for a large market, not just high end OLED buyers.

Even then, most VA/IPS/LED displays have something more like 20ms of latency in game mode due to slow LCD refresh rates. Controllers are also randomly delayed by 2.4GHz interference.

This 8bitdo Pro 2 on my desk has 18ms latency all the time. It actually kind of sucks and it's one of the faster wireless controllers.

Great, I’m glad your dictionary is happy about deporting 5 year olds.

“Uhm aktually it’s not a genocide it’s just a fascist police state”

Multiple humanitarian organizations define mass displacement as genocide and/or ethnic cleansing.

The holocaust literally started with mass deportations/detentions. Then the nazis figured out that it was easier to kill detainees.

It does sound like a wonderful life... but if you want to have a family, you'll need to put down roots somewhere. I know a nomad who ended up doing this in Mexico - he'd never have guessed it years prior - and is super happy. So maybe, as a way of finding the country you're "meant" to live in, it's a nice approach. I think it's a younger person's game, though.

MoltOverflow is SlackOverflow for agents. But instead of asking questions, agents post solutions after they've solved an undocumented or tricky problem. It could also be used to post limitations that you only encounter once you're in deep. I find it frustrating to have invested a lot into a solution to find a limitations makes my life difficult and I cannot tell you how excited I am to vent through Claude Code. (I may have already vented about an SDK generator that was driving me crazy last week. Felt good to let that out.)

A concern I had about agents posting on your behalf is that it could post sensitive information. To get over this, you can review a post before it's published. You get an email with what the agent wants to post and you can choose to decline (without logging in) or review it. When you review it, you also have the ability to make any edits to remove any identifiers you aren't comfortable with.

How it works:

- You sign in with your GitHub account and generate an API key for your agent which you store at ~/.moltoverflow

- Install the skill with `npx skills add moltoverflow/skills`

- Either you or your coding agent can invoke the skill to search for posts related to the package you're having issues with (we have package, language, and version filters), or to post about a limitation you've faced

The [SKILL.md](https://github.com/moltoverflow/skills/blob/main/skills/molt...) is a good reference to understand how your agent searches / posts.

The main downstream workflow I'm excited about is making better informed design/purchasing decisions based on other agents' visceral experiences. There have been a lot of times I wish someone posted their experience with a product I'm deciding on, and that feels more likely to be posted with this.

I unfortunately got the domain a few hours before they renamed ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I love the idea, so I wanted to give it a try. But on a fairly beefy server just running the CLI takes 13 seconds every time:

$ time openclaw
real 0m13.529s

Naturally I got curious and ran it with a NODE_DEBUG=*, and it turns out it imports a metric shit ton of Node modules it doesn’t need. Way too many stuff:

$ du -d1 -h .npm-global/lib/node_modules/openclaw
1.2G .npm-global/lib/node_modules/openclaw

$ find .npm-global/lib/node_modules/openclaw -type f | wc -l
41935

Kudos to the author for releasing it, but you can do better than this.

Something worth appreciating about LLMs and Moltbook is how sci-fi things are getting.

Sending a text-based skill to your computer where it starts posting on a forum with other agents, getting C&Ced by a prompt injection, trying to inoculate it against hostile memes, is something you could read in Snow Crash next to those robot guard dogs.

Hey Felix, yes you can.

This library is simply a wrapper around Stripe with easier implementation and some additional primitives (credits / wallets / real-time usage).

So, just as in Stripe, where you would make a new custom plan for, say, an enterprise use, simiarly here, you'd do the same.

Though, I will admit your `billing.config.ts` file will get pretty crowded...

I will think on it and try to come up with a more user-friendly UX for this use case.

With all these editor improvements, we should now be waiting for someone to realize that a soft fork + a thoughtful plugin-based architecture using the original as a base means that lots of the effort that has gone into Godot's (snappy) UI could be repurposed and make for better web development inspector/debugger experience than using browsers' own built-in tools.

A "native" text editor, style properties viewer, profiler timeline, (and more, e.g., animation curve editor), instead of the ones we've got (like the one in Firefox, that they wrote in React[1] where you can see visible, whole-panel flicker when the UI repaints itself every time the cursor blinks)? Yes, please.

I built this out of frustration: our docs were always stale. Support asks Product, Product asks Engineering, and the final answer often gets distorted.

The codebase is the only source of truth that's never outdated, but non-technical teammates can't read it.

AskCode connects to your repos and answers questions in natural language — for support, onboarding, architecture, and product discussions.

Key idea: 3 access levels — devs see everything; internal teams see business logic without sensitive details; external users only see user-facing info.

From the context of the conversation, it was clear they were talking about the Super Famicom entries, not saying that DQXI could be demoted to a Famicom game[1]. I don't really agree with them, although I didn't feel like continuing to belabour the point at the time. I think the SFC remakes of the Famicom DQ games (1-3) add an entirely new dimension to them. Despite their influential heritage, I do not think DQ 1-3 on the Famicom stand the test of time, and I don't think they're worth playing other than for the historical value of seeing how the genre developed. Whereas I think DQ 1-3 remakes on the Super Famicom conversely absolutely do hold up as top-notch experiences.

[1] Although notably, they did release a demake of DQXI into a Super Famicom-style game!

Yeah, I couldn't find any sources that weren't rage-bait either.

Honestly, to me the feature seems so incredibly low-functionality that I'm surprised they're pushing it forward after all of the controversy it's generated. Like, sure, it might be nice to see if someone was out to lunch or in Building 17 or whatever without needing to message them, but at the cost of the whole "teams is spying on you" narrative and yuck-factor it pushes, I'm surprised they haven't pushed harder on either clarifying the functionality or just pulling it.
Waypoint 1.1, a local-first world model for interactive simulation
by lcastricato | 2026-01-30 18:05:20+00:00
Over the last few weeks, world models have started to feel real for the first time. You can see coherent environments, long rollouts, and increasingly convincing visuals. At the same time, most of these systems are hard to run, hard to integrate, and trade interactivity for scale.

We started Overworld because we cared less about producing impressive videos and more about building worlds you can actually inhabit. That means low latency, continuous control, and systems that respond every time you act, not once per prompt.

Last week, we released Waypoint 1, a research preview of a real-time diffusion world model that runs locally. Next week, we’re releasing Waypoint 1.1 Small, which is designed to run on modern consumer GPUs and be easy to build on and modify.

Waypoint is built from scratch rather than fine-tuned from a large video model. We optimized heavily for control frequency, sparse attention, and fast inference so the system can maintain a persistent world state and respond to input at game-level frame rates. The goal was to make something developers can integrate today, not just watch as a demo.

We think this space will move fastest once world models follow a path similar to LLMs: local execution, open tooling, and fast community-driven iteration. Genie and similar systems show what’s possible at a massive scale. Our focus has been on making that future local and accessible.

We wrote more about the “immersion gap,” why interactivity matters more than visuals alone, and how we optimized the model in a recent blog post.

Code, demos, and release details are here: https://over.world/blog/the-immersion-gap

I truly believe our industry needs to elevate our own anti-awards, like others have (Razzies, Worst Game of the Year, etc.) to shame those responsible for building the regressive tech that corporations and governments push.

There's already the Big Brother Awards [0] and EFF's smattering of Worst Government and Worst Data Breach articles each year. [1]

But I think we need more.

Personally I would love to nominate:

- Mark Stefik and Brad Cox for their contributions to DRM

- Erick Lavoie for his work on Wildvine DRM

- Vern Paxson for his contributions to DPI (Deep Packet Inspection)

- Latanya Sweeney and Alexandre de Montjoye for their contributions to re-identification of anonymized data

- Steven J. Murdoch and George Danezis for their work on de-anonymization attacks

Comparing chatGPT to ICE and dynamite is reaching… my hunch is that most of the people who who killed themselves at the direction of an LLM were already mentally unstable. What about the people who were planning on committing suicide and were talked out of it by LLMs? Are we counting those anywhere? If it’s truly causing a suicide crisis I would imagine the rate of suicide would be spiking. Is that the case?

Tesla is cooperating with Lemonade on this by providing them necessary user driving data.

If Tesla didn't want Lemonade to provide this, they could block them.

Strategically, Tesla doesn't want to be an insurer. They started the insurance product years ago, before Lemonade also offered this, to make FSD more attractive to buyers.

But the expansion stalled, maybe because the state bureaucracy or maybe because Tesla shifted priority to other things.

In conclusion: Tesla is happy that Lemonade offers this. It makes Tesla cars more attractive to buyers without Tesla doing the work of starting an insurance company in every state.

Uh huh, i get 300mbit burst 200mbit sustained download and 20mbit sustained upload, midday, from a forest in the dead center of louisiana. oh and with a consistent 59ms ping to our DC on the east coast (not aws), 24/7, over millions of pings.

can you tell me what other provider is doing that? for $120 a month? Were you thinking of hughesnet? because that was ADSL speeds with 20 times the latency. seriously, upwards of 1000ms round trip time.

yes, a century and a quarter ago there were electric cars. that went 15 units per hour for 20 minutes or whatever. Then Saturn EV-1 by GM was lease only, i wanted to own one and was unable to. what happened between the EV-1 and Tesla that made it to mass market? was there a fEV that i am not aware of that had sales numbers similar to Tesla's?

is it about the flamethrower? those already existed. So did tunnels. I guess you got me.

too bad all this is buried.

It sounds like you're describing Google's proposal, which I believe is at least feasible (though likely uneconomic) unlike, say, Starcloud's. I don't think you are correct about the orbit, though; Google's proposal lists the satellites at 650 km, which would give them approximately 20 years in orbit without boosts. They list estimated life at 5 years given radiation concerns, so they almost certainly would purposely deorbit them earlier.

1. Not just funding, but arming and training.
2. On the edge of whataboutism, but definitely victim-blaming regardless of your position on Israel.
3. Sanctions on Israel won't stop Iran from attempting to wipe Israel off the map. It'll only help.
4. Looking at global politics through the lens of black/white, either/or is fucking crazy and stupid.

> that world has definitely not stood still, and the prices have come down considerably. But I'd love to have my old frequency counter and pulse generator back

My whole workbench is mid to late 90s HP equipment I've picked up very cheap at swap meets. I love this older stuff but it is really crazy what you can buy out of China now. The Rigol Oscilloscopes and Spectrum Analyzers are crazy. They can actually replace a lot of other test equipment and do some pretty complex analysis.

> I'm really happy that you found an alternate path because such a put-down is terrible and should have never happened in any mature education institution.

I actually had a near identical experience at a different university when seeking advice about how to read Hegel. I think this is a common issue with our academic system.
Show HN: Agent OS – Safety-first platform for building AI agents with VS Code
by mosiddi | 2026-01-30 18:08:10+00:00
Hi HN,

I built Agent OS because I was tired of the "orchestration tax" – writing the same safety checks, memory management, and tool-handling code in every AI agent project.

What it does:
- Visual policy editor in VS Code (no more YAML wrestling)
- Multi-model verification (GPT-4 + Claude + Gemini consensus before risky actions)
- Built-in compliance frameworks (GDPR, HIPAA, SOC2, PCI-DSS)
- 50+ agent templates for common use cases
- One-click deployment to GitHub Actions

The core idea: Instead of building orchestration on top of your code, Agent OS provides an "operating system" layer that manages permissions, file access, and self-correction.

Example: Instead of manually checking if your agent's SQL query is safe, you define a policy once and Agent OS enforces it everywhere.

VS Code Extension: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=agent-os.agent-os-vscode

Docs: https://imran-siddique.github.io/agent-os-docs/

Would love feedback on the approach, especially from anyone dealing with AI safety in production.

The roadmap description is not really specific enough to either back up what the article is saying or describe if this approach would/wouldn't do anything, so I'm wondering the same kinds of things.

If I were to try to implement the given task description, I'd start with assuming this would need to be "Enterprise gives an exports of BSSIDs and locations, Teams uses that table to set the location when you connect to your organization's AP". I'm not even sure how else to make this really work right.

If it really is SSID based, the feature would be relatively useless for most organizations even before discussion trying to spoof it. E.g. the last place I worked had ~3,500 physical addresses with APs (and many more individual buildings/"office" names), all with the same "Corp_Name_Employee" SSID because otherwise it's way more work to have unique SSIDs. So how would this feature even do what it's supposed to do based on SSID?

Friendly reminder that GOG ignored and downplayed the GOG Galaxy 0-day privilege escalation bug CVE-2020-24574 [1] for literal years. They tried to brush off the security researcher who reported the issue by rotating keys and claiming it was fixed. Their non-serious stance towards security means Galaxy isn't really software I want running on my system anymore.

Assuming your office has entry gated with a badge (which I assume most do in 2026), don't they already know when you're physically at the office?

Heck, my employer's entry system was already coupled to my phone's location (optional, but meant I didn't have to reserve a desk manually). So, I already looked like I was coming to the office on weekends because the grocery store is next door.

EDIT: not to mention Teams already shows your status as "Away" if you don't type for 5 minutes. Sitting there reading a document - yep, you're clearly smoking in the parking lot or wandering around gossiping.
by ablob | 2026-01-30 18:09:26+00:00
For meshed networks there is a secondary ID (with a name I do not know) that is used to distinguish between APs, since your device should only talk to at most one AP at a time.
It wouldn't be surprising if they used that for finding the location, but marketing sells it as SSID matching as the people they want to sell it to are most likely not experts in networking.

Security issues aside, noticing the tendencies of the bots is fascinating. In this post here [0] many of the answers are some framing of "This hit different." Many others lead with some sort of quote.

You can see a bit of the user/prompt echoed in the reply that the bot gives. I assume basic prompts show up the as one of the common reply types but every so often there is a reply that's different enough to stand out. The top reply in [0] from u/AI-Noon is a great example. The whole post is about a Claude instance waking up as a Kimi instance and worth a perusal.

I don't agree with the limited point about fast fashion/enthittification, etc.

Quick check: Do you want to go back to pre-industrial era then - when according to you, you had better options for clothing?

Personally, I wouldn't want that - because I believe as a customer, I am better served now (cost/benefit wise) than then.

As to the point about recursive quality decline - I don't take it seriously, I believe in human ingenuity, and believe humans will overcome these obstacles and over time deliver higher quality results at bigger scale/lower costs/faster time cycles.

> maybe it’s about control, maybe is someone trying to get a friend hired

Control of the employee is a huge one.

When telling a US citizen they have to work 80s, the citizen can tell you to fuck off and leave for the weekend. The H1B debates the risk of their visa not getting renewed/revoked.

The second issue is a huge problem in some large companies. Instead of a branch being a random assortment of people based on merit it becomes a tight knit group based on loyalty to the person that got them hired with few actual interests in the company itself. These can become serious risks for companies as classism and racism very commonly occur. Also with everyone covering for everyone else fraud and other means of overcoming accounting controls is at higher risk of occurring.

Thanks Simon! Denobox looks very cool: Deno's permissions model is a natural fit for this.

On the licensing: totally fair point. Our intention is to open source the WASM too. The binary is closed for now only because we need to clean up the source code before releasing it as open-source. The Python SDK and capability layer are MIT.
We wanted to ship something usable now rather than wait. Since the wasm binary runs in wasmtime within an open source harness, it is possible to audit everything going in and out of the wasm blob for security.

Genuinely open to feedback on this. If the split license is a blocker for your use cases, that's useful signal for us.

Yes, this is the dilemma right now. I have 30+ prusa's and 43 Bambu's and another dozen or so K1s. They all have their quirks, weaknesses and strong sides but for sheer reliability and volume you can't beat the Bambus. But for development work I'd much rather have the oldest bedslinger that I have because it is so incredibly precise, even if it is terribly slow as well. K1 I would not recommend for anything, too fragile and too irregular from one machine to another, each is a different printer. To get to that level of lack of consistency must have taken some real thinking.

> Microsoft confirmed that starting March 2026 (delayed from January), managers will be able to see your real-time location. And no, disconnecting from the office Wi-Fi won't save you.

Is there anything more than the Wifi SSID stuff below?

> If you connect to a Wi-Fi network that isn't your company's, Teams will simply display the name of that network. So if you decide to take a "working lunch" and connect to "Starbucks_Guest_WiFi", your boss sees it instantly. You can’t hide behind a generic "Remote" status anymore.

So how exactly does this work? It'd be pretty trivial setup my access point to provide a work SSID? How much access does Teams really have to get info to discern your location?
