Looking at the NanoClaw GitHub README:

> If you want to add Telegram support, don't create a PR that adds Telegram alongside WhatsApp. Instead, contribute a skill file (.claude/skills/add-telegram/SKILL.md) that teaches Claude Code how to transform a NanoClaw installation to use Telegram.

Why would you want that? You want every user asks the AI to implement the same feature?

Hey HN, I built pkgdex.org as an alternative to pkgs.org for searching Linux and Unix packages.

What it does: Search packages by name, description, files, provides, or requires across 67 distributions (Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, Alpine, Arch, FreeBSD, Homebrew, and many more). You can also compare the same package across distros at `/compare/{name}`.

Tech stack: Go templates (SSR, no React/SPA), SQLite (51GB WAL-mode database), Varnish cache, all running on a single 1GB RAM Linode with 4GB swap. Zero-downtime deploys via systemd socket activation.

Why I built it: I work with Linux packaging daily and needed a faster, more comprehensive package search. pkgs.org has been the go-to for years, but I wanted file search (which package provides `/usr/lib/libfoo.so`?), cross-distro comparison, and better coverage of third-party repos.

They've also, simultaneously, tried to escalate.

"Friendly with" in the way America was friendly with South Vietnam and South Korea. (Also, the IRGC has directly sponsored attacks, e.g. Bondi Beach.)

This is either stupid or dishonest.

I still kinda wish that the subscriptions would just allow you to use the tokens however you wish.
I get that they rely on people not using all of their quota. But e.g. with open code it doesn't really matter if I use antigravity or gemini-cli the usage should be about the same.

What they are actually trying to force you to do is to pay for the tokens that you don't use in their applications to increase their revenue and/or give their in-house tools an "unfair" advantage. But this is bad for the consumer because it means that there is less competition between coding agents and unless I'm willing to pay per token I have to take one of the model labs agents.

Anticompetitive behaviour imo they could just ban reselling tokens or something like that instead of locking your subscription in like this.

The (almost) top comment is interesting. Sorry to quote llms but:

>@grok what type of political system is most often associated with the government forcing private companies to change their policies and do whatever the government wants?

> This is LITERALLY the plot line of Terminator. Literally.

No, it's not. Skynet was a recursively self improving ASI. You are conflating an autokill bot and, apparently, an ASI that can embody and replicate itself.

> If giving the ukranians nuclear warheads could help them default Russia, then isn't that good?

Surely, you can recognize how an autokill bot and a thermonucelar weapon are different, right? These are categorically different concepts. What's more, Russia is a nuclear armed opponent with, reportedly, dead man's hand systems that would launch their entire nuclear arsenal even if their command structure is destroyed in a nuclear first strike.

I'll just repeat the basic point here: autokill bots are coming. Whether any of us like it or not. Just like nuclear weapons. If I could wave a magic wand and eliminate all weapons of mass destruction in the world, I would. But that's not reality. So, walk me through how you think this plays out if we don't develop them, but Russia, China, etc. do?

I can't think of a more clear cut case of moral, justified deployment of autokill bots than to aid Ukraine in expelling the Russian invaders.

It likely wouldn't be kinetic, but nukes didn't stop us from chipping away at the Soviet Union.

I could be wrong, but I don't buy the public story that this is about regime change. You don't topple a government with air superiority alone, and you don't do it in a matter of days. I also don't expect the US would be okay letting the Iranian people pick who comes next. We have a history of installing puppets and that similarly doesn't happen only via bombing runs.

> that was a couple of decades, it's not like that's an ancient status quo

Sure. The century-long peace following the Napoleonic Wars was also just a couple decades. Our default state, unfortunately, is war. But we sought to change that after the horrors of WWII (and the nuclear bomb), and it's worth nothing where those noble goals succeeded. It's sad that project is over. But something being sad doesn't mean it isn't true.

It's nothing to do with Iran being bad or good. US and Iran were negotiating. You don't attack mid negotiation when you're supposedly still trying to fix things by talking.

You might think Iran isn't owed the courtesy of fair negotiation but that's very shortsighted. Next country will not take US's negotiations seriously and will be, frankly, at some level justified in shooting first.

> So how does one explain the parts of the world, like Europe and large parts of Asia, that are unequal yet predominantly monogamous?

Note that when we talk about polygamy in the past, it's about, like in TFA, a man with many wives. Not a woman with many men.

How does the modern "free" and "liberated" world reconcile that with feminism? When we talk about modern-day polygamous societies, it's basically islam. And islam is a highly patriarcal society.

So what's the take of feminists on these facts?

Iran also has a gang of murderous theocratic nutters running it, massacring their citizens for taking to the streets and singing songs, undermining foreign societies, and lending their knowhow and drones to other, bigger psychopaths for their invasions. It'll gladden my heart if the leadership is destroyed, even if some old pretty masonry gets chipped along the way.

> We didn’t change the regime in Venezuela though right?

Practically speaking, we changed it. The foreign and energy policies we care about changed. The notion that you need to wholesale clean shop to qualify as regime change is misguided and counterproductive [1].

(On the other end of the spectrum, the fact that we kept the Japanese Emperor on his throne doesn't mean we didn't change the Japanese regime.)

> only major country/culture that has never been aggressive towards it's neighbors is India

I have Indian heritage, and I heard this take growing up, and I'll concede that India is on the peaceful side of the international median. That said, the folks in Sri Lanka [1][2] and Bangladesh [3] would aggressively disagree. (Book recommendation: The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida [4]. Also, anything by Assamese authors.)

And this thesis really only applies to modern India. Pre-EIC India was a subcontinent of warring states. And even for the "modern India" designation, we have to ignore the violence of political integration [5][6].

Hi HN

I’m the solo developer behind Global Business Tycoon, a strategic management and economic simulation game I’ve been building and recently released on Steam.

The idea was to create a sandbox where players can build a global business empire by managing sectors, investing, reacting to competitors, and adapting to changing markets. The economy is interconnected, so decisions in one industry can impact others over time.

Some technical details:

The core is a custom economic simulation engine where markets shift dynamically based on supply, demand, and player behavior.

Competitor AI reacts to pricing, expansion, and aggressive strategies.

The UI is designed to handle a large amount of data without overwhelming the player.

The game can be played solo or in online multiplayer with up to 8 players, competing in the same global market.

One of the biggest challenges was balancing complexity and clarity — making the simulation deep enough to feel systemic, while keeping it readable and playable.

I’d genuinely appreciate feedback from people interested in simulation design, balancing large interconnected systems, or multiplayer strategy games.

Here’s the Steam page if you’re curious:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4332850/Global_Business_T...

Happy to answer any technical or design questions.

Several related reasons working at once. The nature of work changed. The boundary between accidental and incidental complexity shifted (and it’s unclear whether this distinction still exists). Niche specializations within the field emerged. The way to structure and decompose projects changed dramatically (agile and stuff).

One pathological example: if you’re running a server-based product, quite often what stands between you and a new feature launch is literally couple of thousands of lines of Kubernetes YAML. Would adding someone who’s proficient in Kubernetes slow you down? Of course not.

One may say, hey, this is just the server-side Kubernetes-based development being insane, and I’ll say, the whole modern business of software development is like this.

The lament I think is more that this is a kind of "dark pattern" that's not really regulated. IMO it should be as easy to delete an account as it is to sign up. To my mind, this is very similar to subscribing/unsubscribing which IIRC is regulated now.

The overall point I'm making is that it is "gross" when companies do stuff like this and yet there's zero accountability. Or when it comes to reliability of account deletion tech companies put up their hands and say "whoops technology is hard."

The danger here is they'll ban you with no specific reason, fill out the form and you get an automatic unban and then something else automatically flags and you're banned the second time permanently.

Support bot will then say "you were warned, read the TOS" and you get to guess what you did wrong.

You'll notice there are no appeals or reviews in this workflow.

Google has no creditability when it comes to handling account bans.

More people believe a software developer job and value is in the lines of code produced.

Perhaps over half of engineering managers unconsciously or admittedly take the amount of PR and code additions as a rough but valid measure of productivity.

I recall a role in architecture, senior director asking me how come a principal engineer didn't commit any code in 2 weeks, that we pay principals a fortune.

I asked that brilliant mind whether we paid principal engineers to code or to make sure we deliver value.

Needless to say the with question went unanswered, so called Principal was fired a few months later. The entire company in fact was sold for a bargain too given it had thousands of clients globally.

The LLM can replace engineers is a phenomenon that converge from two simple facts, we haven't solved the misconception of the engineering roles. And it's the perfect scapegoat to justify layoffs.

Leaders haven't all gone insane, they answer to difficult questions with the narrative of least resistance.

Ok, fine.

Israël is threatened by Iran. Iran has been working on nukes. There have been negotiations but they haven't been definitive yet, and Iran has never been a trustworthy negotiating partner anyway. That is why this President ditched the last round of agreements.

Show HN: A machine-readable graph of truth claims, built on Git and Markdown
by maximilliann | 2026-02-28 14:38:18+00:00
I've long been fascinated with deductive reasoning and wondered if it is possible to create comprehensive maps of human knowledge, starting from first principles.

At it's core, Prime is just tooling to write, publish and explore a decentralized DAG of truth claims hosted on Github; a kind of infrastructure for rational thinking at scale.

With the advent of LLMs I think this project might be more worthwhile than ever. I find LLMs can actually be quite "rational" if given specific tasks, but tend to get lost in language (just like humans). I'm hypothesising that breaking arguments down into discrete subclaims plays nice with LLMs, unlocking new ways of working in fields such as philosophy, science and political discourse.

Hope you find it interesting!

It remains unclear to me why my ability to read and review code (the majority of my job for years now) will atrophy if I continue doing it while writing even less code than I was before.

If my ability to write code somehow atrophies because I stop doing it, does that matter if I continue with the architecture and strategy around coding?

The act of writing code by hand seems to be on a trajectory of irrelevance, so as long as I maintain my ability to reason about code (both by continuing to read it and instruct tools to write it), what’s the issue?

Edit to add: the vast majority of the code I’ve worked on in my career was not written by me. A significant portion of it was not written by someone still employed by my employer. I think that’s true for a lot of us, and we all made it work. And we made it work without modern coding assistants helping out. I think we’ll be fine.

The claim has always been made that attacking NK was off the table anyway, because they have obscene numbers of conventional artillery pointed directly at SK's capital and largest population centre, right across the DMZ; even the fastest decapitation strike wouldn't have prevented Seoul from getting flattened. Nukes definitely don't hurt but I'm not actually sure NK needed the bomb as an additional deterrent.

The islamic republic of Iran has been slaughtering tens of thousands of peaceful protesters who don't want to live under sharia laws anymore. Hunting wounded in hospitals and executing them.

It's obvious there's a movement in Iran that tries to topple the islamist regime. In my city, in the EU, I see cars with iranian flags and I've seen iranian in exile call for the international community to do targetted strikes.

I'm not defending the strikes but let's not make it sound like the US is launching nukes on peaceful monks in Tibet either: we're talking about evil islamist regime that slaughtered tens of thousands of unarmed people a few weeks ago.

FYI I am a paying Workspace customer. I disabled Gemini retention. Doing so means no chat history sidebar- all are ephemeral. It was org-level. That became impractical. I re-enabled it. Magically, all of my old chats were back. The ones during no retention mode weren’t there. Perhaps if I’d left it off for more than 30 days the old stuff would have been truly removed.

The point is there is no conversation-level controls. It’s incredibly user-hostile.

AI Wins curates only positive AI developments. The entire pipeline is automated: story discovery, sentiment filtering, summarization with key takeaways, categorization, and publishing.

Stack: Next.js, Tailwind CSS, PostgreSQL. Content pipeline runs via external automated jobs that scan sources, filter for positive sentiment, generate structured summaries, and publish to the database. The app itself is a clean read-only frontend.

Eight categories: Breakthroughs, Healthcare, Education, Environment, Accessibility, Research, Creative, Business.

Honest limitation: the positive-sentiment filtering isn't perfect yet. Some stories that are more neutral than positive slip through. Still tuning the discovery and classification system.

That’s a very sober take in my opinion. Intelligence isn’t about neutrally inferring from externally sourced symbols such as the ones who already come from Culture in general. It’s about confronting them with the remaining determinations of your existence and producing a superior consciousness. No novel machine can disrupt this process. If anything the sheer added volume of symbols that can be produced from automated semantic mingling (also referred as to as garbage) will accelerate the process of producing the consciousness that can abstract noise away. Of course this won’t materialize evenly across the board, but is surely circumscribed in the overall tendency of intellectualization of the subjects of culture.

When the moral panic of induced schizophrenia from the use of ChatGPT is presented what’s at stake isn’t the innocent concern over the overall mental health of individuals. It’s about how the fear of radicalization from previously unobtainable ideas being circulated within society. The partial validity of every idea vis-a-vis the radicalizing nature of the current stage of development of our society is explosively disruptive.

I’m not saying that there’s a clear outcome here. The other way around can also apply, but surely this contraption (LLMs in general) will not fade until the society itself is deeply transformed. If that’s good or bad depends on where you stand in the stratified society.
Show HN: Memrail – PR-style governance for AI agent writes (OpenClaw)
by celastin | 2026-02-28 14:39:55+00:00
Hi HN, I built Memrail, an open-source governance layer for OpenClaw workflows.

The recurring issue I saw: when agents write directly into memory/tasks, quality drifts quickly. It's hard to answer what changed, who approved it, and how to roll it back safely.

Memrail treats writes like pull requests:
- dry-run first
- diff preview
- human approve/reject
- commit
- audit trail + undo

Current surface:
- `/changes`: review inbox (commit/reject/undo)
- `/tasks`: execution workspace
- `/knowledge`: governed knowledge CRUD

Stack:
- FastAPI + SQLAlchemy
- Next.js
- SQLite default, PostgreSQL optional

Repo:
https://github.com/zhuamber370/memrail

I would value feedback on:
1) Where this governance gate should sit in an agent stack
2) Which diff/audit details are non-negotiable for real ops
3) What would block you from trying this
