Fun to see.

PipeWire had some decent AES67 support for network audio. Some really fun interesting hardware already tested. Afaik no SMPTE 2110 (which is video) but I don't really know.

I know it's not the use case but I do wish compressed formats were more supported. Not really necessary for production, but these are sort of the only defacto broadly capable network protocols we have for AV, so it would expand the potential uses a lot IMO. There may be some very proprietary JPEG-XS compression, but generally the target seems to be uncompressed.

Decades from now. Society is nowhere near ready for a singularity. The AI we have now, as far as it has come, is still a tool for humans to use. It's more Augmented Intelligence than AGI.

A hard takeoff would be the tool bootstrapping itself into an autonomous self-improving ASI in a short amount of time.

And I read Kurzweil years ago too. He thought reverse engineering the human brain once the hardware was powerful enough would together give us the singularity in 2045. And the Turing Test would have been passed by 2029, but seems like LLMs have already accomplished this.

No CarPlay, not interested.

I wish Rivian would stop trying to emulate Tesla on this front and add support for CarPlay. I don't want your UI.

I actually like the look of the Rivian and this is something I'm somewhat in the market for (or will be in the next few years) but I won't touch it without CarPlay.

Lol unhinged.

I read a book in undergrad written in 2004 that predicted 2032...so not too far off.

John Archibald Wheeler, known for popularizing the term "black hole", posited that observers are not merely passive witnesses but active participants in bringing the universe into existence through the act of observation.

Seems similar. Though this thought is likely applied at the quantum scale. And I hardly know math.

I see other quotes, so here is one from Contact:

David Drumlin: I know you must think this is all very unfair. Maybe that's an understatement. What you don't know is I agree. I wish the world was a place where fair was the bottom line, where the kind of idealism you showed at the hearing was rewarded, not taken advantage of. Unfortunately, we don't live in that world.

Ellie Arroway: Funny, I've always believed that the world is what we make of it.

Companies as large as Facebook (really all of the American Big Tech) should just be illegal.

It's long overdue that we remembered that the very notion of a corporation is a creation of society. Corporations have no natural rights whatsoever because they don't naturally exist. It follows, then, that societies have the right to impose any limits and prohibitions when chartering corporations that don't discriminate against their owners (i.e. so long as restrictions apply uniformly). This includes limit on company size, its marketshare etc.

Of course, there are many ways it can be solved or mitigated. The problem is that even very experienced users simply won't know there is anything to solve.

Absolutely agree. Keep fighting the fight. I was just attempting to assist with a mitigating control for anyone reading this. For what it's worth using tmpfs wherever someone can is one way to extend the life of SSD's/NVME for tiny rapid writes such as these. Downside being one may have to buy a bigger RAM kit and RAM prices are increasing.

Another mitigating control would be to encrypt /home but that is loaded with caveats and gotchas especially related to LUKS2 information disclosure.

> It's deceptively styled to look a big boy car, but it's a matchbox. That's why no reviewers will show themselves or anyone else towering over it. It's for those who want a big car, but without all that space.

I miss the days when men looking to compensate would buy sports cars. It wasn't any less ridiculous, but at least they (edit: the cars) were better looking and more fun to drive.
Show HN: Microagentic Stacking – Manifesto for Reliable Agentic AI Architecture
by ericmora82 | 2026-02-11 03:12:51+00:00
I’ve spent the last couple of years deploying LLM agents in production environments, and I’ve consistently hit the same wall: the 'Cognitive Monolith' (or what I call the Big Ball of Mud AI).

We are currently seeing a lot of hype around 'autonomous agents' that are essentially 3,000-word prompts with access to 20 tools. In my experience, this doesn't scale. It’s impossible to unit test, observability is a nightmare, and the 'vibe-based' engineering makes it a liability for enterprise-grade software.

I wrote this manifesto to formalize a different approach: Microagentic Stacking (MAS).

The core idea is to apply classic software engineering principles—separation of concerns, strict I/O contracts, and atomic modularity—to the agentic stack. Instead of one god-agent, we build a stack of 'micro-agents' that:

1. Have a single, specialized responsibility.
2. Communicate through typed, validated interfaces.
3. Are individually testable and replaceable.

I’m sharing this as an open-source manifesto because I believe we need to move from 'prompt alchemy' to 'agentic engineering' if we want these systems to be more than just cool demos.

I’d love to hear the community’s thoughts on:
- How you handle state management across multiple specialized agents.
- Where you see the trade-off between modularity and token latency.
- If you’ve found better ways to prevent 'agentic sprawl' in complex workflows.

The repo includes the core principles and a conceptual roadmap. Happy to dive into the technical details.

I think it's a fair response, and I can appreciate the truth in one's own life that leads you to write it. But this situation is a complex dynamic, no two situations are precisely the same either factually or subjectively. The same couple with a new child may stay close to one, drift away from another for totally different reasons that may not have one thing to do with intention or effort.

At any rate, I'm never too proud to reach out to old friends even if the time between attempts increases. Relationships may change again!

We learned computer languages so we can ask computers to do work for us. It was out of necessity because there are no other ways.

If we can instruct computers with natural language 50% of the time, that's 50% less translation work for our human brains. I have no problem with not needing to write instructions in computer languages (no regex, no sed/awk, no python even) for day-to-day stuff.

Critical thinking, reasoning are another story. We can't let those skills atropied.

It is a perfectly fine rhetorical device, and I don't consider a text that just has that to be automatically LLM-made. However, it is also a powerful rhetorical device, and I find that the average human writer right now is better at using these than whatever LLM most people use to generate essays. It's supposed to signify a contrast, a mood shift, something impactful, but LLMs tend to spam these all over the place, as if trying to maximize the number of times the readers gasp. It's too intense in its writing, and that's what stands out the most.

Where I struggle with Mikey is that he really pushes the envelope of what a civilian is supposed to do.

- Filming his commutes - fine

- Reporting when people put him in harm's way - more than fine

- Reporting people he sees who don't endanger him personally but are breaking the rules and could create dangerous situations - probably fine, though getting a little iffy for me

- Going out of his way to look into people's cars and look for phone use - pretty iffy

- Deliberately creating confrontation and direct danger, out of other drivers illegal driving - too far for sure (look up "Gandalf corner")

It is sucky that the police don't do more of this enforcement. But as another London cyclist, he crosses the line that makes me feel less safe as a cyclist, due to the elevated level of hate cyclists receive.

I like that quote, however I wouldn't put my money behind someone who continually fails to deliver on projects.

Oh also the whole you know what going on.

But primarily the failure to deliver multiple highly-publicized projects all the while raking in colossal grant and investment money is just wild to me. If this were any other org, Elon would be beyond toast.

>it does anything mathematically interesting

You are right - its not interesting. You already know that rotation can be done through multiplication (i.e rotation matrix), and you are just simplifying it further.

After all, the only application of imaginary numbers outside their definition is roots of a polynomial. And if you think of rotation+scaling as simple movement through the complex plane to get back to the real one, it makes perfect sense.

You can apply this principle generically as well. Say you have an operation on some ordered set S that produces elements in a smaller subset of S called S' It then follows that the inverse operation of elements of the complement of S' with respect to the original set S is undefined.

But you can create a system where you enhance the dimension of the original set with another set, giving the definition of that inverse operation for compliment of S'. And if that extra set also has ordering, then you are by definition doing something analogous to rotation+scaling.

Personally I'm in no rush to have self-driving capabilities in my car for at least another decade or so. I'm pretty happy with the current ADAS systems found in most cars like adaptive cruise control, lane keeping, and collision avoidance - and happy to just see incremental refinements to those systems.

At some point I want a self-driving car, but I'm happy to let Waymo and Tesla users test those systems for another 10+ years before I personally start using them.

Show HN: Multi Tenant MCP Platform
by mvmcode | 2026-02-11 03:18:53+00:00
We couldn’t find much guidance on deploying MCP servers in a multi-tenant setup, so we built one. SageMCP is an open-source platform for hosting isolated MCP server instances with centralized OAuth and API key management.

Each tenant gets its own MCP endpoint (`/api/v1/{tenant}/mcp`) with path-based isolation. Full MCP protocol support — Streamable HTTP, WebSocket, and SSE — with protocol version negotiation, resumable SSE streams, and JSON-RPC batching.

340 tools across 23 native connectors:

- Code & VCS: GitHub (24), GitLab (22), Bitbucket (19)
- Project management: Jira (20), Linear (18), Confluence (16)
- Communication: Slack (11), Discord (15), Microsoft Teams (13)
- Email: Gmail (14), Outlook (14)
- Documents: Google Docs (10), Sheets (14), Slides (11), Notion (10), Excel (14), PowerPoint (10), Zoom (12)
- AI coding tool intelligence: GitHub Copilot (19), Claude Code (18), OpenAI Codex (16), Cursor (18), Windsurf (11) — standardized metrics schema for cross-tool comparison of adoption, cost, and productivity

Plus support for hosting any external MCP server (Python/Node.js/Go) as a stdio subprocess with health checks and auto-restart.

Under the hood: LRU server pooling (5K max instances, 30-min TTL), session management via `Mcp-Session-Id`, per-tenant token-bucket rate limiting, Prometheus metrics, and feature flags for progressive rollout.

Stack: FastAPI, React, SQLAlchemy, PostgreSQL/Supabase, Docker & Kubernetes with Helm charts.

Happy to answer questions about the architecture or multi-tenant MCP patterns.

Agent memory can sometimes be handled with prompts, state output on completion, etc. Managing that can get messy if you aren't on the same system.

I think "provenance gap" or temporal history can be helped by understanding what you have asked agentic systems to write, understand things written, and verified them.

We aren't yet at a point where something large or extended is easily pushed to agentic coding management - your point of provenance and memory is key here.
by _carbyau_ | 2026-02-11 03:19:35+00:00
I guess it depends on what they were compensating for. Up until the 80's and 90's at least there was more association of racing cars with road cars that you could buy.

So that would associate you with the (A man's manly-man maybe?) driver of that car.

But now race cars are not really much like a production road car. And those older men with money don't necessarily want to be like the ever younger drivers being employed to win races.

As you say, ridiculous, but at least the sports cars were cool.

What I described was directing, reviewing, and editing. You’ve ignored that entirely to construct a version of me who pastes “write me an app” and ships it unread… then spent three paragraphs righteously tearing that down. I own the intent, the spec, the judgment about what’s correct, and the blame when it breaks. That’s authorship, and that’s why using a generative tool isn’t plagiarism. The rest is breathless gibberish dressed up as moral clarity.

Thanks! OpenInsider is absolutely the OG in this space.
To answer your questions:
Latency: We poll the SEC RSS feed continuously. The parsing logic (classifying the transaction types) takes a few seconds. So, while not 'HFT real-time' (microseconds), it is 'human real-time' (usually appearing on our site within seconds of the SEC publishing). Sufficient for manual analysis, but maybe not for algos front-running the market.
Business Model: We plan to keep the web interface (including the granularity and filters) free for public research. We believe this level of data transparency should be the standard.
Our plan for a future 'Pro' tier focuses on automation and convenience, such as:
Real-time Email alerts for specific tickers/insiders.
API access for developers.
Bulk CSV exports for backtesting.
The goal is to make the best research tool free, and charge for the infrastructure tools."

I feel uncomfortable labelling nebulae as collection of stars. The more appropriate term is stellar nursery if you want to allude to their role in star formation.

They themselves are just clouds of gas and dust where protostars have begun to form.

Stellar clusters are what you would call a collection of stars.

Also on the note of cosmology and astrophysics being strikingly young fields, I think that's fair statement if we consider their modern definitions. Although their core ideas have already been discussed in a lot of ancient civilizations. It was a lot more philosophical and less rooted in science though (except for the observational astronomy, which remains perhaps one of the oldest scientific discipline).
by fastily | 2026-02-11 03:21:37+00:00
Yup that’s why I suggested it. The vsdx schema is notably complex and I don’t see a lot of code examples in the wild. I seriously doubt an llm would be able to output working code for it. Docx is a common use case and a quick google search yields multiple popular libraries that understand the format. Anyways, cool that an llm was able to output a functional docx editor, but that’s certainly not impressive or a groundbreaking feat by any means

as a tesla owner, all I can tell, carPlay is ugly child was born due to EU car makers, not capable of building proper infotainment system.

I want to drive, not constantly connect/accept privacy etc. Especially if that is a $100k+ car.

When i get into the car, the last thing I'd like to know how my car is getting connected to my phone, if there are any issues, especially if that is not my car.

I love how my car knows that in the morning i go to work, and wednesday evening i go to yoga, and put GPS, with best traffic options. 0 touch, all super seamless. No phones involved.

That's the thing though, this stuff does actually work, if you just install debian or whatever it works. The complaint here is that the projects or layers that implement the features have changed.

It would be like if Linux used to include a bundled web browser in the kernel and they decided to split it off in to a user space app which comes preinstalled on the distro. And then people complain because now the kernel doesn't have a web browser and in theory a distro could exist which doesn't have one.

Xorg was bloated with a kitchen sink of features which have now been broken out into separate projects which are still included out of the box when you install a normal non minified distro.
by socalgal2 | 2026-02-11 03:23:01+00:00
This is kind of ridiculous take

You can use wgpu or dawn in a native app and use native tools for GPU debugging if that's what you want

You can then take that and also run it in the browser, and, you can debug the browser in the same tools. Google it for instructions

The positive things about WebGPU is it's actually portable, unlike Vulkan. And, it's easy to use, unlike Vulkan.

Slight correction, I've been studying token prices last weeks so this caught my eye:

>"(log-transformed, because the Gemini Flash outlier spans 150× the range otherwise)"

> "Gemini 2.0 Flash Dec 2024 2,500,000"

I think OP meant Gemini 2 flash lite, which is distinct from Gemini 2 flash. It's also important to consider that this tier had no successor in future models, there's no gemini 3 flash lite, and gemini 3 flash isn't the spiritual successor.

What I meant in my remark about Telnet is that, if you just want is a bidirectional byte pipe to e.g. run a terminal over, then you just need TCP or anything else providing the same abstraction, like TLS-over-TCP or TCP-over-IPsec; whether you then choose to run a getty on that terminal is not for the network to care. (I don’t believe you can get netcat to drive a PTY, so you’ll need e.g. socat. And of course if you want cryptographic authentication then you don’t need or want a getty.)

Telnet, on the other hand, is quite a bit fancier than that and has a fairly involved feature negotiation mechanism for terminal connections that is not entirely in line with the prevalent DEC tradition. As admittedly one of the funkiest examples of what you can do with it, there is for instance a mode[1] where the client is asked to emulate a terminal of the IBM 3270 lineage. (To a practicioner of the aforementioned DEC tradition, those feel like the marsupials of terminals: everything is functionally there, but primitive and derived are occasionally flipped and some features are oddly weak or misdesigned due to a lack of competition.) So if you do actually use Telnet the protocol, by all means, I’ll be delighted to learn what you do with it (partly why I asked in the first place). But if you just need a pipe, then TCP is enough, and netcat or socat make fine ad-hoc clients.

I'm a little confused why you think that's wild; It's pricing is inline with other BEV's in the Canadian market at least; it's comparing with the Model Y, the Equinox, the Blazer, the Mach e, the Ioniq 5, the EV6, the BZ4, and the Aryia.

Typically speaking you're going to spend $10,000 to $13,000 more then an equivalent gas car for a BEV vs a comparable gas car in Canada.

I don't know what they block, but they're not very good at that. Or, to be more fair: I think the scrapers have gotten really good at what they do because there's real money to be made.

This is a good question and my initial thought would be Atomic Physics and Cosmology.

A book like Modern Atomic Physics by Vasant Natarajan (2015) would be a good place to look - https://www.routledge.com/Modern-Atomic-Physics/Natarajan/p/...

The recent book (free) Atomic Physics for Everyone: An Introduction to Atomic Physics, Quantum Mechanics, and Precision Spectroscopy with No College-Level Prerequisites (2025) should also be good for an initial understanding of atomic physics - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46961595

Also Wikipedia has a helpful Timeline of fundamental physics discoveries page to browse - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_fundamental_physic...

Finally, asking Google something like "what is new in physics since feynman lectures", Gemini gave me a helpful summary in its "AI Overview" which you can try out.
