I'm glad we can agree the US did not list them as terrorists for the kind of red herring reasons you listed under your own value system, then. Your own opinion of terrorism has nothing to do with why the US pretends to be against China but then declares as terrorists people with the credible power to fight back, even if everything you say is true.

> or the small pockets of territory ISIS sometimes controls so you can see how great and friendly they are for opposing the oppressive governments that opposed them.

This is hilarious to hear you lecture me about, considering I've been shot at by ISIS, and been to both Iraq and Syria, so please lecture me more with your experience what it's like to be in these regions. Yes I am free to go to areas that have been in conflict with ISIS, and I have.

Of course, hilariously, you fail to note the Uyghurs were opponents of ISIS in Afghanistan, another words, working to eliminate ISIS.

>As bad as Saddam was, I don't think anyone enjoyed the time that ISIS dominated Iraq more than his reign.

The KRG did (Kurdish Iraq), because ISIS was defeated much more easily. Same with many other factions in Iraq that defeated ISIS. ISIS was just part of the power vacuum that emerged after Saddam, but eliminating Saddam was the first step in breaking up the pieces, ISIS was a natural next adversary but a divided piece. You can't expect to overthrow a tyrant and not end up with fragmented other tyrants to also have to deal with.

You keep trying to dominate the discussion with all the bad things various groups have done while acknowledging the US doesn't give a single shit about it, proving it's a total side show to our discussion. It's not clear why you keep re-iterating it other than it gives you a sense of moral superiority over the US government and value signal your position, which we all know you probably genuinely have.

>think anyone outside of extremists who just want to keep women as property support Uyghur militants who blow up buses.

I'm pretty sure the PKK blew up a bus at one point... so we're not allowed to support Kurds who want independence? The Turks take your same approach. Your argument here is patently absurd. Of course no one wants to support people that blow up buses of civilians. But you've fallen for the extremist Chinese propaganda that because one group of Uyghurs at one point blew up a bus, that we can't look positively on other Uyghurs who might fight against tyranny.

Don’t get me wrong Gemini 3 is very impressive! It just seems to always need to give you an answer, even if it has to make it up.

This was also largely how ChatGPT behaved before 5, but OpenAI has gotten much much better at having the model admit it doesn’t know or tell you that the thing you’re looking for doesn’t exist instead of hallucinating something plausible sounding.

Recent example, I was trying to fetch some specific data using an API, and after reading the API docs, I couldn’t figure out how to get it. I asked Gemini 3 since my company pays for that. Gemini gave me a plausible sounding API call to make… which did not work and was completely made up.

I am the person who asked for the source.

1) I do not believe for a second that Meta would actually implement something that would remove their own ability to read those messages.

2) We do not have any proof that their claimed e2e chat service is actually compromised.

The matter of fact tone of the parent made me think there was some actual proof or at least something more than speculation. That's why I asked for a source.

Honestly, having spent a lot of time in Korea (which famously grew so much rice that visitors from Japan and China from the 16th century were astounded by their bounty of food), I disagree with the premise..

Queueing discipline is non-existent; people will take what they want without waiting for others who arrived first. Business standards for fair dealing are just as bad if not worse than many western societies. Family/personal connections are favored and nepotism is rampant. Driving behavior is extremely selfish and causes a lot of accidents (running red lights, default behavior at uncontrolled intersections, etc). Their problems with concentration of money and power are just as bad if not worse than the west with chaebols essentially above the law and abusing their workers to the extent that people have no time for families - so What makes Asian societies more “cooperative?” Is it just their attitude that they think they are more cooperative?

People are pretty skeptical that discord will actually delete it (because they had a data breach showing a lot of undeleted face scans and id pictures already) or that their partner organization who does the validation won't just save it instead.

Also I don't really think this solves the grooming issue - it stops them from going in certain channels or getting pictures from non friends but an adult who wants to get past that to get to kids probably will. You'd really want like "teen only" servers with verification going the other way, if anything. I've never seen that proposed oddly

One thing I didn't emphasize enough in the post: the 10-second delay isn't just a technical limitation of Drand. It's actually the security feature. If the delay was 1ms, a server could still potentially 'front-run' the beacon. By forcing a 10s 'lock-in' period, we ensure the entropy is truly from the future. Is a 10s UX trade-off acceptable for high-stakes games, or is that a deal-breaker for most devs?

They're not powertools lol. Tech has plenty of powertools and we automated the crap out of our job already.

Writing code has never been the limiting factor, it's everything else that goes into it.

Like, I don't mind that there's a bunch of weekend warriors out here building shoddy gazebos and sheds with their brand new overpriced tools, incorrecting each other on the best way to do things. We had that with the bitcoin and NFT bros already.

What I do roll my eyes at is when the bros start talking about how they're totally going to build bridges and planes and it's gonna be soooo easy to get to new places, just slap down a bridge.

Uh huh. Y'all do not understand what building those actually entails lol.

I was really confused about what a JIT "Compiler" for a JavaScript framework means, but it turns out it means something like I've done myself.

My site https://c50.fingswotidun.com/ uses the same trick to generate code for the image generation.

Between the confusion of what Compile, JIT, Engine, Runtime, and FrameWork is (which I blame Bun a little bit for starting this entire Runtime/Engine confusion). I think we might need some new terminology to describe this method.

Maybe a made-up word is needed, JIT was good in that an acronym with a vowel made it wordable and specific.

I've visited a flat/appartment in one of the Barbican towers. It was comfy, pleasant. The lifts and hallways were well maintained, well lit, generous dimensions (compared with many London apartment blocks I've seen). It felt like a "good" tower block, rather than a "bad" one.

The arts complex is amazing (slightly confusing, but very functional and fairly pleasant to be inside). The outside spaces create a buzzy calm.

I think it's an excellent complex.

Axiomos Decide – A ROI simulator for AI infrastructure (Cloud vs. On-prem)

I’m building a tool to help teams decide if they should keep burning cash on AWS/GCP or buy their own GPU clusters.

It takes real workload parameters (tokens/sec, model size, duty cycle) and models throughput/utilization to find the break-even point. The core diagnostic is free, and I generate a board-ready PDF report for $99 to help justify the CapEx/OpEx switch to CFOs.

Building this solo from Switzerland. I’d love to hear from anyone dealing with "cloud exit" for AI or struggling with GPU cost projections.

It’s hard to trust a company when when they’ve already demonstrated that they [can’t be trusted](https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/02/discord-faces-ba...). And i’m sure there will be an argument of “but this will make it more likely that they’ll be safe about it to not have a repeat”, which will likely be true for a while. Then cost-cutting offloading to a third party that promises to not keep the data, or a new feature will come in that needs the photos, or a misconfiguration will happen where things that should be deleted won’t be, and we’ll be in the same boat again.

The only safe data is that which does not exist.
Show HN: Samma Suit – Open-source 8-layer security framework for AI agents
by jbwagoner | 2026-02-10 13:58:35+00:00
I've been running AI agents in production for a music platform and kept hitting the same security gaps — no permission inheritance, no cost controls on nested calls, skills that could execute arbitrary code, no kill switch when things went sideways.
Samma Suit is an open-source security layer that wraps any agent framework with 8 layers:

SUTRA — API gateway with rate limiting
DHARMA — Permission inheritance (parent → child agents)
SANGHA — Skill/tool vetting before execution
KARMA — Cost controls that propagate through subagents
SILA — Immutable audit trail
METTA — Cryptographic identity signing
BODHI — Execution isolation
NIRVANA — Kill switch for runaway agents

Framework-agnostic — works with LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGPT, or raw API calls. Define policies in YAML, Samma Suit enforces them at runtime.
GitHub: https://github.com/onezeroeight/samma-suit
Docs: https://sammasuit.com
The arxiv paper on the front page today (agents violating constraints 30-50% of the time) is exactly why we built this — constraints need to be enforced at infrastructure level, not left to the model.

Excluding names (Mistral's Voxtral Mini 4B Realtime), you have 1 pretty normal sentence introducing what this is (Streaming speech recognition running natively and in the browser) and the rest is technical details.

It's like complaining that a car description Would contain engine size and output in the third sentence.

>Is there a recommended or "blessed" server and client

Not sure about servers, but for clients there's Gajim, Dino, and Conversations. Not much else is super relevant these days. Profanity exists but is significantly worse than irssi or weechat despite looking superficially similar. Kaidan is a KDE/Qt alternative to Gajim but I'm not sure if it's usable yet. It may be worth switching when it's fleshed out to escape the bugs and slowness of the GTK-based clients.

> Along the way I have developed a programming philosophy I now apply to everything: the best software for an agent is whatever is best for a programmer.

I agree with this and I think it's funny to see people publish best practices for working with AI that are like, "Write a clear spec. Have a style guide. Use automated tests."

I'm not convinced it's 100% true because I think there are code patterns that AI handles better than humans and vice versa. But I think it's true enough to use as a guiding philosophy.

Your two opening paragraphs seem opposed to one another.

> I am the founder of the architectural uprising non-profit in Norway. The primary goal of architecture is in my view to increase peoples quality of life and to ensure social, economic and environmentally sustainability for future generations.

Can you expand on the "dangers" expressed in the buildings, and how your foundation attempts to mitigate those dangers?

Also:

> Now lets face the fact that most brutalists experiments over the last 80 years has failed miserably.

Yeah, there are a lot of failures, but you've picked on two structures which are broadly successful which is diminishing your point somewhat.

Is there a statistics name for the last part? I'd like to compare different countries. It's definitely NOT true in Colombia at least, which makes me believe OP more.

We in Colombia had a public service announcement where it showed someone driving really fast (while still respecting semaphores), and another one going with just enough speed. In the end, they both reach the last semaphore almost at the same time and then they part ways. Essentially it shows that driving crazy fast in the city doesn't necessarily gets you faster to your destination.

Now that I'm an adult, I tested it several times, and it matches 90% of my attempts, but that's in the city, with semaphores. No way I'd think letting everybody steal everybody else's buffer would provide for a reduction in journey time, even in highways. You're adding items to a queue, it'll take longer.

Now, it is probably safer, but we can only take so much even if we are not in a rush.
Ask HN: Local community first approach to building an age verification system
by throwaway_2898 | 2026-02-10 13:59:55+00:00
Recently discord rolled out verification of age and IDs in their announcement https://www.theverge.com/tech/875309/discord-age-verification-global-roll-out

I had a very dead simple idea which was to Do age verification combining two systems that are well known, one is the local notary public and the other a cryptographic authz,auth to do so.

An example of a system is this say you want your age verified, a number of local authorities like teachers, lawyers, DMV, notary can be authorized to verify ages of people in the community. When a person goes to get there age verified they can present them with the cryptographic hash — which they got from a hash —that this authority figure can pass on to a central server, The hash will contain no private information except for the fact that there is some service that wants to verify a claim: is the user > 18. The authority figure looks at this ID and just sends a yes/no signal back to the server asking for this. No id/PII is ever exchanged.

Then maybe some problems I can see with such a system, but nothing on the scale of how we do age and ID verification these days: storing IDs online in centralized enterprise servers which have so many threat actors acting against them.

Does something like this exist already or is someone building such a thing?
Show HN: I wrote a prompt to stop Gemini from hallucinating
by Ginsabo | 2026-02-10 14:00:03+00:00
While recovering from gallbladder surgery, I needed Gemini 3 to be reliable—but it kept hallucinating.

I found that as models get smarter, their laziness becomes more "sophisticated." I call this the "Probabilistic Sloth" of 2026. Even with the latest retrieval tools, the model often chooses the path of least resistance, producing plausible-sounding but incorrect output.

Out of frustration, I wrote a system prompt to install a kind of "Will" into the AI. It forces the LLM to split into two roles:

The Drafting Agent: focuses on generating the initial response.

The Ruthless Auditor: focuses strictly on logical error detection and evidence locking.

This creates a friction-based loop—an explicit self-correction step before any output reaches the user. In my tests, it stopped the model from hallucinating about Python libraries that don’t exist.

This is the KOKKI (Self-Discipline) Protocol. It’s not just a prompt; it’s a structured way to force an LLM to catch its own failure modes.

I’ve documented the raw logic on Gist and would love for this community to test it, use it, and tear it apart. I don’t want money; I need brutal feedback to evolve this further.

Feedback welcome.
Even “this was annoying” helps.

I Recommend taking your car to a HPDE event, sometimes insurance will discount you for this. In this case, hard braking, is you just not knowing anything about your car or the cars around you... I barely use my brakes, but I also drive manual... Id say learn engine braking but y'all probably driving those stupid over powered electric cars...
Show HN: Snagg – Clip memes from anywhere, post them instantly
by airowe | 2026-02-10 14:00:26+00:00
I built a tool to end the "save meme → forget where it is → scroll for 5 minutes" cycle.

Snagg lets you grab memes from Reddit, Twitter, Instagram — anywhere — with a right-click. They go into your searchable collection. When you need one, the Chrome extension drops it directly into Discord, WhatsApp, Slack, whatever. No downloading, no tab switching, no digging through your camera roll.

There's also an iOS keyboard so you can insert memes while you're typing.

What's your current meme workflow? Curious how others deal with the chaos.

I think your starting premise is obviously false and where are you getting that billionaires are privatizing the profits from the particle collider (sounds like a talking point). No one can guarantee that there are benefits - we can surmise that there are but there are still massive risks associated with large form science experiments.

Government has always been the backbone of basic science research - no one else can reasonably bear the risk and the advances are public domain.

The problem is that that's the same skill required to safely use AI tools. You need to essentially audit its output, ensure that you have a sensible and consistent design (either supplied as input or created by the AI itself), and 'refine' the prompts as needed.

AI does not make poor engineers produce better code. It does make poor engineers produce better-looking code, which is incredibly dangerous. But ultimately, considering the amount of code written by average engineers out there, it actually makes perfect sense for AI to be an average engineer — after all, that's the bulk of what it was trained on! Luckily, there's some selection effect there since good work propagates more, but that's a limited bias at best.

https://github.com/rustledger/rustledger I'm building a Rust implementation of Beancount, the double-entry bookkeeping language. It covers the full Beancount syntax, all the booking methods, a BQL query engine, plugins (including rust and python). It works as both a CLI tool and a Rust library, and it compiles to WebAssembly too.

https://github.com/rustledger/rustfava This is a fork of Fava, the web UI that Beancount users know and love, but with the Python parser swapped out for rustledger running as WebAssembly. I packaged it up as a native desktop app using Tauri, so you just double-click to open your ledger files with no terminal or Python needed. It also works via Docker, PyPI, and Nix if that's more your thing.

https://github.com/rustledger/pta-standards I started this project to create proper formal specifications for plain text accounting formats, covering Beancount, Ledger, and hledger. It includes EBNF/ABNF grammars, JSON Schema and Protobuf AST definitions, tree-sitter grammars, Alloy models for invariants, and conformance test suites. The idea is to make it possible for anyone to build a correct, interoperable PTA implementation without reverse-engineering existing tools.

https://github.com/robcohen/peervault This is an Obsidian plugin that lets you sync your vaults directly between your devices over P2P connections, no central server involved. Has S3 fallback if you want. It uses Loro CRDTs so concurrent edits merge cleanly, and Iroh compiled to WASM handles the networking with NAT traversal and end-to-end encryption. Until iroh-docs or iroh-willow comes out with WASM support, this seems to be the best solution for obsidian syncing.
