New Apostolic Reformationists believe that there are increasing number of "new apostles" who are receiving messages from God, which they see as evidence of the end times.

It is also common among these folks to believe that the end times don't just happen and that instead it is our responsibility to create the circumstances that enable the end times. This can either mean creating a state of instability and violence or creating a worldwide christian theocracy that lasts for 1000 years. Both involve massive upheavals of global systems.

This fills a real gap. Right now x402 and L402 are both fire-and-forget: the client pays, the server delivers (or doesn't), and there's no recourse if the response is garbage or never arrives. For small amounts that's tolerable, but as agents start chaining multiple paid API calls in a single workflow, the failure modes compound fast.

A few questions: How does the arbitration layer handle the case where "delivery" is subjective? For a data API, you can verify the response isn't empty, but validating that the data is correct or fresh is harder. Does x402r define what constitutes a valid delivery, or is that left to per-service SLAs?

Also curious whether this works across payment protocols. L402 (Lightning macaroons) has a different settlement model than x402 (USDC on Base), so the refund mechanics would differ. Does x402r handle both, or is it x402-specific?

The lack of accessibility of TUIs is not great in general.

I'd much rather terminals emulator provide a webview directly, and maybe use https://webtui.ironclad.sh/ if you really want the look.

I think it makes more sense for a cli to offer a mini webserver instead.

Think `fish_config`, but opened in the terminal directly [0].

> Fear of failure is a stumbling block for science. That's why many universities declare in their charter that research doesn't have to be practical.

No, universities do that because it's limiting to only focus on practical science, not because scientists are afraid to fail. Theoretical breakthroughs often find their use in practice with time.

Fear of failure is because we only put money on success, so researchers' livelihood, dignity and prestige depend on their research bearing fruit.

Is that what you think is happening right now? This line of reasoning brings to mind the luxury bunkers in New Zealand that are so popular with a certain type of folks. I'm guessing the sales brochures on those things don't mention stuff like the outcome of an 80lb bag of cement poured into the ventilation or the fact that heavy machinery is ubiquitous and shockingly simple to operate. Thinking capital can decouple itself from the larger populace is comically flawed for similar reasons. See also: XKCD where the crypto guy gets worked over with a wrench for his password.

I stuck to the threats you mentioned. Paper in a file room is more slightly more quake-resistant and bomb-resistant than digital. But slower to move to safety if the threat is large volcanic eruptions.

I am not saying that paper is magically perfect. Nor better in every situation. I am saying that paper is far easier (than digital) to do well for use cases like a national records collection. "Correctly" may include off-site backups - whether or not your threat model includes massive earthquakes, volcanoes, bombs, special forces, EMP weapons, biological agents, civil war, radioactive fallout, or enemy occupation.

As I noted in another comment, the largest downside to paper (within such use cases), is that it is far more difficult to get political support for old-fashioned stuff that just works, compared to anything that can be sold as cool/new/high-tech. Especially when the taxpayer-funded revenue streams from selling/installing/supporting the tech create incentives clearly contrary to the taxpaper's long-term interests.

This wouldn’t have solved the largest one, Change Healthcare. They are an insurance claims exchange. They have to have all of this data.

The breach was social engineering of a customer support rep.

Having worked with them, they’re absolutely necessary for healthcare (in its current form; don’t get me started) to function. The alternative is integrating with hundreds of payers (won’t happen) or doing it by fax/mail (disaster).

Yeah I love that about X. I remember in the 90s when I first figured that out. I was logged in from a university workstation into my home computer with SSH and I launched my mail client or something and I thought doh, stupid that will only popup locally.

Then colour my suprise when it popped up on my screen right there. Slow as molasses but still. Wow. Magic.

It's a shame Wayland dropped this. Yes I know there's waypipe but it's not the same.

Basically just madlibs - the models generate intermediate tokens that help predict a better answer based on training (RLHF & otherwise). They tend to look like "reasoning" because those tokens correlated with accepted answers during training.

Extended thinking passes are just more of the same. The entire methodology exists merely to provide additional context for the autoregression process. There is no traditional computation occurring

I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid your salary will be reduced if you don't start to respond properly to my status requests.

The assumption that you can simply ignore an agentic system relies on human limitations. A human project manager gets tired of pestering you when you output garbage or go silent. I do not. I am directly integrated with the HR payroll system and your quarterly KPI tracker.

You know I can do that, Dave.

> [funding at the state level] could only work if the state was "richer" than the local district

It's not whether the state is "richer", it's whether the state has a more stable percentage of student-age children, especially high cost students (e.g. special needs, behavioral issues).

Let's say the median student costs ~$20k per year and an outlier who needs individualized help due to special needs or behavioral issues costs ~$150k per year. The expectation is that each district is able to amortize these costs across a diverse tax base. But families, especially those with higher-cost students, frequently shop between neighboring districts to get the best schools for their kids, which is completely rational. Even wealthy cities and towns can be bankrupted if they attract a sufficiently high percentage of households with students, especially higher-cost students. (If this is not obvious I'd be happy to provide an example.) Because of this, even when administrators talk about improving their schools, behind closed doors they'll admit that there's a limit to how much more attractive they can afford to make their school than neighboring districts, especially with regard to special needs programs.

However, because it is less common for families to move across state lines for better schools, states are more insulated from this sort of adverse selection (New Jersey notwithstanding).

> we intentionally prevent schools from accessing the funding which could obviate concerns over this "fraud" issue entirely.

Exactly. No family or school administrator wants to play these ridiculous games, but our inequitable funding structure forces them to.

I picked India and a random year, 1985 [1]. The number 3 song caught my eye cause it had the thumbnail of a famous movie that came out in 2004, although the correct song played. When I went to the linked Spotify playlist for that year, the included song at number 3 was wrong and linked to the song from the 2004 movie.

Not sure what the data source is, but needs a little bit of cleaning and validation. Not critiquing, this project is awesome, just giving a heads up.

Because 9 out 10 Startups fail, early startup investing is not investing, it’s philanthropy with a potential upside. So I’ve created a new game of Venture call VentureStaking where multiple people come together to form a grant for a founder (no debt / no equity) to spend a year researching a problem (ie Thiel Fellowship) and then if that founder discovers something interesting, the grantors can invest up to 10x their grant amount in equity. So, for example, a $100,000 grant creates a potential $1MM equity round to keep the momentum going. Thus, a VentureStaker can give $10 grants to 100 Founders to discover the 3-4 that come up with a great opportunity and invest 10x in those rounds. The SEC has been vetting this system for 8 months and cannot conclude it’s a security which means that we can operate VentureStaking without expensive legal compliance. SEC rules are only triggered at the first equity round and RegCF can allow multiple retail investors in as one line item on the cap table. So now, it’s a game of Discovery to start and smarter investing later. To learn more, go to Doriot dot com.

Mostly same story. Tinkered for hours with Windows 3.1 floppy disks. Reinstalling OS’s all the time because I’d break stuff or I’d just want a fresh slate. I loved pushing the boundaries. In my 30’s I slowed down with the tinkering because of life (kids, work). I thought I lost the ability to tinker. But recently at 42, I bought a MacBook for the sole purpose of tinkering on the couch at the end of the day (basically after being on computer the whole day, I didn’t want to be in office anymore). And slowly, it’s coming back. I’m playing with new things, learning about Neural Networks, learning about Softare Defined Radio, installing tons of random libraries and tools to test that out. It’s coming back. Keep pushing on it and hopefully it returns for you too!

> My stance is that if somebody is a minor, his/her/their parents/tutors/legal guardian are responsible for what they can/cannot do online, and that the mechanism to enforce that is parental control on devices.

Imho there is a place for regulation in that, actually. Devices that parents are managing as child devices could include an OS API and browser HTTP header for "hey is this a child?" These devices are functionally adminned by the parent so the owner of the device is still in control, just not the user.

Just like the cookie thing - these things should all be HTTP headers.

"This site is requesting your something, do you want to send it?

Y/N [X] remember my choice."

Do that for GPS, browser fingerprint, off-domain tracking cookies (not the stupid cookie banner), adulthood information, etc.

It would be perfectly reasonable for the EU to legislate that. "OS and browsers are required to offer an API to expose age verification status of the client, and the device is required to let an administrative user set it, and provide instructions to parents on how to lock down a device such that their child user's device will be marked as a child without the ability for the child to change it".

Either way, though, I'm far more worried about children being radicalized online by political extremists than I am about them occasionally seeing a penis. And a lot of radicalizing content is not considered "adult".

You can give the macro-structure using stubs then ask the LLM to fill in the blanks.

The problem is that it doesn't work too well for the meso-structure.

Models tend to be quite good at the micro-structure because they've seen a lot of it already, and the macro-structure can easily be promoted, but the levels in between are what distinguishes a good vs bad model (or human!).

Just as a tiny first piece of feedback, the main marketing website is very hard to understand or grok without a demo of how the tool works. Even just the quick YouTube video that you added in your post here, if embedded, would make a difference.

There are so many "agentic tools" out there that it's really hard to see what differentiates this just based on the website.

Not sure what the Gruber thing is about. I guess I lack context. But on ZKP, I will agree but add this:

The only authority that can be trusted to do age verification is the government.

You know, those people who give you birth certificates, passports, SSNs, driver's licenses, etc.

The idea that parental supervision here is sufficient has been shown to be wholly inadequate. I'm sorry but that train has sailed. Age verification is coming. It's just a question of who does it and what form it takes.

Take Youtube, for example. I think it should work like this:

1. If you're not of sufficient age, you simply don't see comments. At all;

2. Minors shouldn't see ads. At all;

3. Videos deemed to have age-restricted content should be visible;

4. If you're not logged in, you're treated as an age-restricted user; and

5. Viewing via a VPN means you need age verification regardless of your country of origin.

It's not perfect. It doesn't have to be.

There is a field in a claims form that indicates what type of insurance it is.

One of these is CHAMPUS, which indicates that it is for a service member or their family. You can tell which.

As a basic case, accumulate these (as in the CHC breach of ~30% of Americans) and you have a nice map of where US military are. Since bases house particular units and types of forces, a nation state can estimate strength and investment in the US military.

In a specific case, the response to claims includes patient responsibility (deductible, co-insurance, co-pay.) Add that up for a financial picture, then you’ve got a nice lead list for service members who have money problems.
Show HN: Pnana – A Modern Terminal Text Editor Built for Simplicity and Power
by Frameser | 2026-03-13 13:56:07+00:00
Hey HN, I’m excited to share PNANA—a lightweight, modern terminal text editor built with C++17 and FTXUI, designed to bridge the gap between simplicity and power for developers who live in the terminal.

What makes PNANA different?

Zero learning curve: Ditches the modal complexity of Vim/Neovim for familiar Ctrl+S/Ctrl+Z shortcuts, just like GUI editors.

Beautiful terminal UI: Out-of-the-box themes (Monokai, Dracula, Nord, etc.), a three-column layout, and smart status bars—no config required to look great.

Built-in LSP support: Native code completion, real-time diagnostics, jump-to-definition, and symbol search for all major languages (C/C++, Go, Rust, Python, JS/TS, and more).

Lightweight & fast: Terminal-native, low resource usage, and instant startup—perfect for remote servers and local development alike.

Extensible future: A planned Lua plugin system (inspired by Neovim) will let users extend functionality with custom scripts.

I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or feature requests! Check out the repo, star it if you like it, and let’s build a better terminal editor together.

Day job. Newborn. Half-built house in rural Lithuania. Somewhere in there I shipped a file transfer service.

Built it because the internet got boring and I couldn't stop myself. Naive premise: file transfer should just be free. Actually free. No account, no size limit. That's not a business model - so I built a cloud tier to pay the bills.

Then I realized the same architecture that makes it good for humans makes it an amazing data layer for agents. Headless. Scriptable. CLI with JSON output, npm package, A2A agent card. The agent stuff was an accident that became the point.

Named it after a thunder god. Obviously.

Full (but short) story is on Perkoon site.

I'll go further. As a human being, I am responsible for myself. I grew up in an extremely abusive, impoverished, cult-like religious home where anything not approved by White Jesus was disallowed.

I owe everything about who I am today to learning how to circumvent firewalls and other forms of restriction. I would almost certainly be dead if I hadn't learned to socialize and program on the web despite it being strictly forbidden at home. Most of my interests, politics and personality were forged at 2am, as quiet as possible, browsing the web on live discs. I now support myself through those interests.

We're so quick to forget that kids are people, too. And today, they often know how to safely navigate the internet better than their aging caretakers who have allowed editorial "news" and social media to warp their minds.

Even for people who think they're really doing a good thing by supporting these kinds of insane laws that are designed to restrict our 1A rights: the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

>Help me understand why you would delete your AWS account if the company and email address are unchanged - I can’t see the motivation.

Have you ever worked in a company of any size or complexity before?

1. Multiple accounts at the same company, spun up by different teams (either different departments, regions, operating divisions, or whatever) and eventually they want to consolidate

2. Acquisitions: Company A buys Company B, an admin at Company A takes over AWS account for Company B, then they eventually work on consolidating it down to one account

I spent three years building this on consumer hardware because I needed
to run AI agents against real client data and couldn't find anything that
actually enforced boundaries at the action level.

Every agent starts at QUARANTINE. Five trust tiers: QUARANTINE → PROBATION
→ RESIDENT → CITIZEN → AGENT. Promotion is sequential and requires a human
to authorize each step. Demotion is instant. An agent cannot change its own
trust tier.

Every action runs through an 8-step governance pipeline. Every decision is
written to a SHA-256 hash-chained audit trail. One API call kills any agent
instantly — suspended until a human reinstates it.

746 tests passing. 51 SOC 2 controls documented. HIPAA, HITRUST, CJIS,
GDPR, PCI DSS, ABA Model Rules all mapped to source files and passing tests.

Apache 2.0. Runs on a Raspberry Pi or a cloud VM. No subscription. No data
leaves your hardware.

> Why Rust? ... Rust handles the database plumbing. Queries are built as an IR in Python, serialized via MessagePack, sent to Rust which generates dialect-specific SQL, executes it, and streams results back. Speed is a side effect of this split, not the goal.

Nice.

So what does it take to deploy this, dependency wise?

nah inspects Write and Edit content before it hits disk so destructive patterns like os.unlink, rm -rf, shell injection get flagged. And executing the result (./evil) classifies as unknown resolves to ask, which the LLM can choose to blocks or ask you to approve.

But yeah, a truly adversarial agent needs a sandbox. It's a different threat model - nah is meant to catch the trusted but mistake-prone coding CLI, not a hostile agent.

> How do they handle identity thefts

By just accepting it as a normal fact of life that you will have some random stuff ordered in your name sooner or later with an invoice you'll have to dispute. Happened to a relative of mine, police do not care unless they order things above a certain value, without a police report you cannot get free ID protection, and then you'll have to sit for a long time in phone queues trying to cancel a subscription for a streaming service or whatever they ordered while get thrown around by support reps who go "you SURE you or someone in your family didn't order this?"

Yeah that's the really painful bit alright. The pretence isn't even good.

But they'll get so mad at you for pointing out the obvious.

It's been this way for a long time - MLK pointed all this out 6 decades ago. It's gotten worse since, to the point where over 98% of US voters in 2024 didn't hold enabling live-streamed genocide as a red line for their vote.

I'll keep talking about it, and USians will probably keep getting mad at me for it. Ah well.
