I am an assistant professor at Oklahoma Christian University. I’m sharing a breakthrough I’ve been working on that moves digital imaging beyond the discrete pixel grid.

ImageCFN (.cfng) is based on my Compositional Function Networks (CFN) framework. It represents images as continuous analytical manifolds rather than grids of dots.

The Benchmarks:

Efficiency: 3.7x higher compression than PNG.

Quality: 47.4 dB PSNR (visually indistinguishable from source).

Speed: 1.2s average encoding time on the Kodak dataset (3080 Ti GPU).

Resolution Independence: Decodes to any resolution in real-time. No pixels, no aliasing, just a continuous mathematical signal.

I've included an "Effects Lab" in the demo to show how HDR recovery and filters work when applied directly to the manifold before rasterization.

The technology is patent-pending, and I have a C++ SDK ready for evaluation. I'm hosting the demo on my own backend, so please be patient if we hit a traffic spike!

Demo: https://web-demo-ten-navy.vercel.app

I’m eager for feedback from the community!

I've noticed that 2D artists/non-sculptors who engage in strange mediums or techniques generally only make realistic closeup portraits of people. I saw the headline, thought "neat, but I bet he just makes normal expressionless faces." Opened the page and it seems like that's the vast majority of his work. As an artist myself, I'm always like ehhhhh when I see this. Feels a bit like the kind of stuff you see for sale in tourist areas.

The technique is cool though.

"Wrong recipient" seems beyond the scope of what you can expect a spam filter to handle with accuracy. Wouldn't marking it as spam just degrade the signal to noise ratio of legitimate email? I'd rather get a few misses here and there than have to trawl through my spam folder which I only check once or twice a year when something doesn't show up right away.

Seems like a lot of energy dissecting C-suite news clippings. The reality is that no one cares about alignment and it’s only controversial for the naive or the dramatic among us.

Claude is useful for software engineers. It’ll be useful until something is better-enough and then we’ll all move on to that.

Most folks are using both Claude/Codex together anyways, undermining the idea that Anthropics corporate strategy mattered in the market.

Makes me wonder - with Notepad rapidly evolving into WordPad v2, and no default "just render bytes as text" solution in modern Windows to replace it, maybe there's still a way to hack one together on the go, just from pieces laying around in every default installation? I mean, rundll32.exe is a thing.

All I really need is a basic text box with a scroll bar, and a way to feed it with bytes from a file.

To make it a well-defined challenge: the task is to find a way to create a basic notepad - a multi-line textbox that supports scrolling, and can be fed bytes from a file to render as text directly. Additionally, this must be achievable through simple means - simple enough to memorize - and must work on standard Windows 11 installation, with no extra dependencies to procure. Solution can be e.g. something I can type from memory into "Run" (Win+R) box, but could also be a short list of GUI steps (e.g. open some program, click on "Help", drag file to help box).

Hospitals in Israel are generally guarded the same way hospitals in the US are: by police and security guards. As opposed to Hamas, the IDF doesn't use hospitals as bases. They don't build terror tunnels under hospitals. They don't take hostages to hospitals and kill them there. They don't shoot from hospitals. They don't store weapons in hospitals. Hamas does all of those things.

Not surprising, Nvidia's margin was just a huge incentive for companies/countries to develop their own solutions. You don't have to be 100% as good if you're 80% cheaper. It's unsurprising that this is being driven by Chinese companies/labs who often have a lot less funding than the US, and the big tech companies (Google, Microsoft, Amazon) who will benefit the most from having their own compute.

I've never believed in Nvidia's moat, and it seems OpenAI's moat (research) has gone and surprisingly is no longer a priority for them.

To comment on the actual game (tested on Firefox desktop):

- The yellow box with hints overflows (and is cut off) in the middle of the second paragraph

- The site layout appears to be optimized for mobile (portrait) screens. But the actual interactive elements look to small for touch targets. For desktops (if that is a target), consider using the horizontal space more (e.g., for the box with hints or the leaderboard(s))

- The tooltips on the actions at the top of the lines games board were not in English (appear to be maybe Spanish/Portuguese). Seems like a missing translation (my language preferences are en;de).

- the lines game itself was fine, the idea is okay but I don't think I want to play more than 2-3 rounds of it (which is okay for a daily challenge-ish game). An improvement might be to highlight (with a light background on the board) what combinations of piece layouts are possible after placing the first block (e.g., the straight piece only has 4 possible layouts after the first block and one after the second).

Windows doesn't do that, though. If a process starts thrashing the performance goes to shit, but you can still operate the machine to kill it manually. Linux though? Utterly impossible. Usually even the desktop environment dies and I'm left with a blinking cursor.

What good is it to get marginally better performance under low memory pressure at the cost of having to reboot the machine under extremely high memory pressure?

I built an open-source tool that analyzes codebase architecture at scale by combining static graph analysis (NetworkX) with optional RLM-powered semantic insights.

The problem: Large codebases accumulate invisible architectural debt — circular dependencies, god modules, layer violations — that nobody can see until it's too late. Existing tools either don't scale or try to shove entire repos into an LLM context window.

The approach: RLM-Codelens parses your repo, builds a dependency graph, and runs graph algorithms (Tarjan's SCC, coupling metrics, hub detection) to surface structural problems — all locally, no API keys needed.
Optionally, add --deep for LLM-powered semantic analysis using recursive decomposition to handle repos far larger than any context window.

What it finds:
- Circular dependencies (with cycle membership details)
- God modules (high fan-in/fan-out)
- Layer violations (data layer importing API layer, etc.)
- Orphan/dead modules
- Coupling hotspots

Tested at scale:
- Kubernetes (Go): 12,235 files, 3.4M LOC → 182 circular deps, 1,860 anti-patterns
- gRPC (C/C++/Python): 7,163 files, 1.2M LOC
- vLLM (Python): 2,594 files, 804K LOC

Key design decisions:
- Static analysis is free (zero API calls) — graph algorithms handle structure
- LLMs used only where they shine: semantic classification, hidden dependency discovery, refactoring suggestions
- Multi-language: Python (built-in AST), Go/Java/Rust/C++/TypeScript (tree-sitter, auto-installed)
- Generates interactive D3.js force-directed graph + HTML report with a 0-100 health score
- Works with OpenAI, Anthropic, or local Ollama (free)

# No API key needed — full static analysis in seconds
rlmc analyze-architecture --repo /path/to/repo

# With LLM semantic analysis
rlmc analyze-architecture --repo /path/to/repo --deep --budget 5.0

Outputs: interactive dependency graph (D3.js), detailed HTML report, JSON data for CI integration.

I just wrote up my migration plan. This is going to be very painful.

Step 1 is deleting accounts I don’t use anymore. I did 2 of them today. One required an email, another required a phone call. Both were rather painful, but at least I was able to get them done within the day. I have 320 accounts left to go through.

I have been wanting to reign in my digital footprint, so I guess this is a good excuse, it’s just very difficult. Last year I tried to delete a PSN account (I have 2 of them). I waited on hold with Sony for 45 minutes for them to just hang up on me. I also got caught in captcha hell a few times.

I also have to be willing to let things ago. I found an old Zinio account. I assumed the company would be dead (digital magazines), but they are still going, my account still works, and I have dozens of magazines in there I purchased 15 years ago when the iPad launched. Do I keep it around just incase, or let it go… there are going to be a lot of things like this. I almost feel like I need to take time off work to deal with this.

One interesting thing with zram (which OS X also does by default) is that certain memory leaks... effectively don't. I have a little raspberry pi where I have zram enabled. If I make a string in python and keep appending 'a's to it, eventually zram just soaks it up:

$ zramctl
NAME ALGORITHM DISKSIZE DATA COMPR TOTAL STREAMS MOUNTPOINT
/dev/zram0 zstd 3.8G 2.3G 13.2M 17.2M 4 [SWAP]

2.3GB of 'a's that gets compressed down to 20MB.

I also think LA will be fine in the long run, I just think that their tax structure will force significant changes. The tax base is able to cover the cities liabilities, it's just that the residents don't want to pay those extra taxes, and don't want to change in ways that let other people pay them.

The city has a billion dollar deficit right now. Trivial for residents to afford ($83 per person), but difficult to actually implement politically.

Good point re: "RCE" though the CVSS score is 7.8/high severity; some more flavor per the FAQ at https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-20...

> According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is local (AV:L). Why does the CVE title indicate that this is a remote code execution?

> The word Remote in the title refers to the location of the attacker. This type of exploit is sometimes referred to as Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE). The attack itself is carried out locally.

> For example, when the score indicates that the Attack Vector is Local and User Interaction is Required, this could describe an exploit in which an attacker, through social engineering, convinces a victim to download and open a specially crafted file from a website which leads to a local attack on their computer.

> Reallocating a lane of traffic to bikes or transit moves exponentially more human beings through the exact same amount of physical space.

Except that bike lanes in the US, on average, carry fewer people than car lanes that they replaced. So yes, it's indeed "choking off". It's done to force the density increases. After all, if you can't commute anymore (roads are sabotaged and transit is slooooowwww), you'll have an option to live closer to the workplace. In a new expensive apartment in a high-rise.

Bike lanes also kill businesses. There were studies showing otherwise, so I replicated them, and they now show the opposite. Places in Seattle and Portland with bike lanes that displaced traffic lanes are declining faster than areas around them. The previous positive results were caused by spurious correlations during the general upswing in the urban economy after the 2008 crisis.

> Then you complain about non-drivers "forcing" you to pay for transit, while everyone else's taxes are literally subsidizing the free public storage of your personal property.

There is no free parking around me anywhere. And I'm also paying around $2000 a year in car tab and property taxes for transit that I don't use. And before you ask, in my state user fees pay for 90%+ of the total road maintenance expenses.

> We are talking about dense cities.

Yeah. They need to be _de_-densified in the longer term. But even dense cities will benefit from removing bike lanes and adding self-driving taxis.

> I live in the Netherlands. Millions of people here take transit and ride bikes every single day. And guess what? Nobody banned cars.

I got my driving license at the age of almost 30, and I lived in several large cities. And I _also_ lived in Amsterdam. People ride bikes in Amsterdam because there usually are no other comparable options. Transit typically takes ages longer, and car parking is non-existant. Of course, people justify that by telling themselves how they love to ride bikes even in cold wind and rain.

Perhaps? I just used it to analyze one of my 96k Zig codebases using Claude Code and here is (part of) what came back. (I snipped out the deeper analysis above as it exposes my private project - but it was all correct).

Head-to-Head

┌──────────────┬─────────┬─────────────┬────────────┐
│ Metric │ Opty │ Traditional │ Ratio │
├──────────────┼─────────┼─────────────┼────────────┤
│ Input tokens │ ~13,500 │ ~39,408 │ 2.9x fewer │
├──────────────┼─────────┼─────────────┼────────────┤
│ Tool calls │ 21 │ 61 │ 2.9x fewer │
├──────────────┼─────────┼─────────────┼────────────┤
│ Round trips │ 5 │ 9 │ 1.8x fewer │
└──────────────┴─────────┴─────────────┴────────────┘

I had it run a separate analysis using traditional vs. opty and count the actual tool calls and input token counts. My prompt was basically, "do a full analysis of this entire codebase."

>In 2026, so far, OpenClaw has deleted a user's inbox, spent 450k in crypto, installed uncountable amounts of malware, and attempted to blackmail an OSS maintainer. And it's only been two months.

I have no sympathy for that!!

People have been warned over and over to don't grant full access to these AI and yet, they do the completely opposite.

>Similarly, you shouldn't give OpenClaw access to money. But I want an agent that takes photos of my pantry, sees what I'm running low on, and orders new groceries for me, and that requires my credit card

It should never have access to your main account in the first place anyway.

Have an AI account with limited money in it and even that, have a process in place that will only process any financial request if and only if you have approved it.

The same logic must be followed for everything, people prefer to just give full access without guardrails and hope nothing bad will happen.

This is interesting to me. I thought that the reason for deepseek delay was because of the insistence ( by the politicians) to use huawei chip[0]. But that was last year August.

I cherish my UCSD education and (equally, if not more) all the socializing that came with it.

The concept (and aims) of university faces the same headwinds of any business based on intellectual property in America: artificial moats of IP law.

China's manufacturing success partially stems from the government's inability to enforce IP law.

Thankfully, ideas want to be free, and LLMs give us the best-yet UI to information.

To me, Hacker News is a university. It's a place where I come to learn (from thousands of "teachers") and these "teachers" are actually also students, learning as well.

Didn't many of the FTX cronies come from Jane Street?

So many of the biggest fraudsters in crypto came from tradfi and their scams were discovered because they picked the one asset class where being unable to process withdrawals implies a 100% chance of fraud. It makes you wonder how much fraud occurs in tradfi but it goes undiscovered because nobody can self-custody their paper metals or paper stocks.

Not only that, but slavery in the south didn't "end" anywhere near as fast as people think it did. Even when plantations stopped using chains and shooting people for leaving the plantation, they just switched to slightly more subtle ways. Sharecropping, barring them from owning property, running lynch mobs to kill anyone who stepped afoul of the unspoken rules, and not allowing black people into most public spaces.

To this day southern conservatives talk about "state's rights" as being the reason for the civil war. Yeaaaaaah no

Data sovereignty is almost the default in Korea and common in Japan. It has been a common idea there for decades, in fact there are laws about it. The big corps there were plenty familiar with the CLOUD Act and such many years ago when 99.9% of EU corps couldn't give less of a shit. Percentages are completely different.

Joining of a forum is meaningless in itself, the actual actions of the governments and businesses in their usage vs abstinence of US clouds is ehat matters.

THe composable executable tool pattern is great, but hiding all details behind "search" is no panacea. Without any capability description in the context, LLMs won't necessarily know they SHOULD search for something in the tool API... so it's a tradeoff.. The real challenge is figuring out how to give them context-aware tool documenation. Maybe if that's built into the model somehow with a retrained model, or if it knows broadly enough about cloudflare (or any provided sdk)

The theories are repeated a often but I have never seen any empirical data to back it up assuming one is setting the options I mentioned. These anecdotes usually come from servers with default settings and no attempt to tune them for the intended workloads and no capacity planning for application resources. Even OS maintainers are starting to recognize this and have created daemons such as tuned for the people that never touch settings. The next evolution will be dynamic adjustments from continuous bpf traces. I just keep it simple and avoid the circular arguments all together.

Show HN: Automatic Image Localization Pipeline
by yomwolde | 2026-02-26 02:42:21+00:00
I’ve been experimenting with a side project that explores automating image localization.

The pipeline takes an image containing text, detects text regions, removes the text, translates it, then re-renders it in a target language while attempting to preserve layout and visual balance.

The goal is not perfect marketing copy or pixel-perfect DTP replacement. It is more about testing whether “good enough” localized visuals can be generated without manually recreating assets for each language.

Some things I’ve been curious about while building this:

• How different scripts behave (Latin vs CJK vs RTL)
• Where layout preservation breaks down
• Whether this is actually useful or just a novelty demo
• What production constraints would make this impractical

Examples: https://postimg.cc/gallery/1X04QFz

If anyone here works with localization, design systems, or asset pipelines, I’d genuinely love to hear where you think this approach would fail.

Sometimes the agent (any agent, not just Claude — cursor, codex) would miss a rule or skill that is listed in AGENTS.md or Claude.md and I'm like "why did you miss this skill, it's in this file" and it's like "oh! I didn't see it there. Next time, reference the skill or AGENTS.md and I'll pick it up!"

Like, isn't the whole point of those files to not have to constantly reference them??
