> "This argument that we have to self destruct to have the moral highground"

That's not the argument they made.

> "they know windpower and solar are not viable long term"

Thanks for the nonsensical, unsupported, right-wing talking points, throwaway account. Great contribution.

> "Web search how many Chinese coal plants came online in the last six months."

I web searched and found that "China installed a record 315 GW (AC) of new solar capacity in 2025". The entire UK national grid is currently providing 35GW of power from all sources combined. That's 1/9th of the power China deployed in just solar panels just last year. And China deployed 119GW of wind turbines in the same year as well.

While it's not surprising that's in the top, it's surprising by how much. ~1/7th of the world population, but ~55% of coal consumption is pretty unbalanced IMO. Of course, the real reason why is that China is the world's factory so the energy consumption is huge as well.

I think the real takeaway here is that the world depends on the industrial production of China, which is powered by coal. We are all using that coal to buy cheap Chinese manufactured goods, and the sooner we come to terms with this the better. Whether a single country uses coal or not is irrelevant for tackling carbon emissions, if we're all basically exporting our carbon emissions to China.

Again, the previous terms allow them to terminate the previous contract, and ... hey look, they're exercising their rights, listed in the original contract, which you did in fact agree to.

If you want to continue using the services, and know about the change, then that's legally, as cited in the actual court documents in OP, an agreement to the new terms.

RSS support used to be built into the browser, with identifiable iconography.

You'd click a link on a website that says some iteration of "subscribe" or "feed" and the browser would handle it for you, putting the feed into your bookmarks or whatever.

Users never had to know what RSS is. They just clicked "subscribe" and it worked.

You'd have to do the same explaining of Bluetooth or WiFi, both things that non-technical people are familiar with today, if OSes, for some reason, removed support for them.

I refuse to eat Srirarcha due to its use of Xantan gum.

Using Xantan gum is a sign of ultra processing. It's used to change mouth-feel, which is basically lying to the body.

I always recommend people to read / listen to https://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Processed-People-Science-Behind... to understand these ingredients and what they do to our bodies.

Hi HN! We have built llmpm, a CLI package manager for open source LLMs. You can now download and run 10,000+ free models using single command.

The idea came from the friction we kept seeing when trying to run models locally. Setting up models often involves downloading weights, configuring runtimes, and figuring out which models are actually good for a given task.

With llmpm the goal is to make models installable like packages:

llmpm install llama3

llmpm run llama3

We’ve also been working on the ability to package models with applications, so projects can declare model dependencies and reproduce the same setup easily.

Alongside the CLI, we’ve been experimenting with a model ranking and benchmarking tool on the website to help developers compare models across benchmarks and choose the right one before installing.

Check out rankings at: https://llmpm.co/rankings

I have the same problem. The "What It Is" section starts with "Mycelium is a Clojure workflow framework built on Maestro" and that's a bit generic. Maybe something to test some AI generated code and then test if the tests are tested enough using Closure, but I'm not entirely sure.

The main question that is not obvious, is what should I use it for?

"the solid base of electricity generation disappeared and thus the trust in electricity for transport disappeared"

I'm sorry, but WTF?

This is the most unhinged drivel about German nuclear I have ever read on HN, and that's saying something.

There no problem with "trust in electricity", whatsoever, nor is there any lack of a "solid base". There has been no electricity grid collapse in Germany for decades(in stark contrast to the US, or f.e. Spain). Any problems with electrcity have been due to terrorism or building errors.

Even with that, in case you haven't noticed, EV cars run on batteries and don't need constant power. Perhaps for "preppers" or people living in remote areas it would be a factor, but I have never in my life heard anyone connect the use of EV power with the power station the charging comes from or how reliable the grid is.

Tax system and IG Metall salary tables will kill ambition very quickly. The highest salary groups do not guarantee comfy lifestyle for the corresponding areas anymore. Giving away half of salary as mandatory insurance and paying 19% value added tax from the rest is just insulting. Don’t forget the rents in 2026. It’s again new all time high. It does not pay off to work anymore.

The "invisible" goal is harder than it sounds in air-gapped setups. We run AKS for a public sector client — private API server, no public
egress, Azure Firewall with explicit allowlists. K8s is the right call,
but invisible it is not. Podman for builds works fine until someone adds
a base image that isn't mirrored locally. Then you get a silent pull
failure at 2am.Most tooling just assumes outbound connectivity. Helm charts, operators,even some CNI plugins phone home somewhere at install. You don't find out until it breaks in prod.Not disagreeing with the direction just that invisible infrastructure means something different when egress is locked down by policy, not convention.

Slightly related: I have a tool that writes random (incompressible) data to a disk and lets you verify it back without storing a copy (by using a csprng seed), initially developed for benchmarking SSDs that used to cheat to get better performance numbers but that can also be used for this purpose or to overwrite (“shred”) a disk: https://github.com/mqudsi/hddrand

I agree that the government should ensure low energy prices for industry, but Taiwan is a remarkably poor example.

Taiwan's energy policy is, as far as I know, the most pants-on-head stupid of any country in the world. As anyone knows, they are a small island at constant risk of a sea blockade and yet rely on sea imports for 98% of their energy. Not only that, but they _had_ more domestic production (nuclear) that they have been phasing out. Writing giant checks to import yet more oil by sea instead of boosting domestic production is a terrible idea for so many reasons.

I know of someone who was let go from an employer when they contacted the doctor’s office whose stationary was used on the employee's many absence excuse notes. It turned out they were a gerontology office. The employee was in their early twenties.

Controlling access to stationary, prescription pads, and the office’s fax machine is one part. Making it hard to forge the doctor’s handwriting is another.

In the US, Huy Fong was the only Sriracha that I ever saw (and commonly only on the west coast), until the very early 2000s.

My understanding was/is that Huy Fong could have trademarked the name in the US back then, but they chose not to based on the founder's humiity and/or naivete.

Somewhere around 2003(?), Sriracha (still only Huy Fong) became an Internet sensation and then very quickly there were a dozen brands available, all calling themselves Sriracha (legally OK), and often imitating the Huy Fong trade dress in sort-of subtle ways. Huy Fong pushed back on some of those imitators.

And then Huy Fong stopped being able to produce marketable volumes ("bad harvest" was the explanation at the time), and then it started tasting far less good, but still less bad than the others. Presumably this corresponds to their supplier change, which gives me a new appreciation for terroir.

I have never found another Sriracha that is comparable to Y2K-era Huy Fong. Modern Huy Fong is just OK. I don't think it would have become an Internet sensation if the product was always thus. I've tried at least 25 other brands, searching for that taste. So much disappointment!

Yeah it was a real piece of junk, but I guess there's no accounting for nostalgia. People also like to restore the SGI Indy, easily the worst machine that SGI ever shipped.

At one point decades ago there were a lot of these IPXs and their SCSI accessories on eBay and they were a decent source of project boxes because you could use the power supply and stick your project where the hard drive was supposed to be, with the wires coming out the SCSI port. It looks like the model 411 is still $30 or so on eBay but there are few.
Show HN: API key leak scanner – finds and shows credentials in your codebase
by JasperBlank2001 | 2026-03-09 16:34:48+00:00
Simple CLI tool, one Python file, no setup. Point it at a repo and it
finds leaked API keys (OpenAI, Anthropic, AWS, GitHub, Stripe, etc.)
and gives you the direct link to revoke each one.

Built it because I kept generating code with AI assistants and worrying
about keys ending up in the wrong place. Its offbrand TruffleHog.

The Lion screenshot is just perfect. Everything you need to do is right there. And with every version from then on the usability goes downhill and stuff you need to do is more and more hidden and requires several clicks to access.

Pretty sad state of affairs. Software isn’t build for usability but purely for whatever designers find fashionable at the time.

Actually this is the crux and the nuance which makes discussing LLM specifics a pain in the general space.

If you built an LLM exclusively on the writings and letters of John Steinbeck, you could NOT tell the LLM to solve an integral for you amd expect it to be right.

Instead what you will receive is a text that follows a statistically derived most likely (in accordance to the perplexity tuning) response to such a question.

As I was getting into computers as a teenager, a teacher warned me that the area is such that I would have to learn new things constantly, without end. I said, fine, what's not to like?

But I now realize that as people grow, their desire to learn new things sometimes fades, and an illusion of "already knowing enough" may set in.

Don't trust that illusion. We still have to learn new things every day. (And new fancy words for simple concepts is the easy part.)

> You mention a comment and I respond and then we get to batteries again.

Yes. Because they're the answer here.

> Also this is getting outside of topic of discussion for me because one of the reasons we want Nuclear or Green energy in general is also the environmental plus the sovereign plus the long term affordability plans.

Good luck with nuclear sovereignty, if that's your concern. How many uranium mines are in the UK?

> Why not Nuclear?

/me gestures at the last 50 years of historical evidence

"Why not try nuclear" is like "why not try communism?" for physics nerds. We have tried it.

> People hold up China as an example but China was not displacing any local industry including its own. It's incredibly easy to do that because it's greenfield. Fast forward 20 to 30 years when new thinking might impact BYD or CATL's bottom line? They may not look so forward-thinking.

I would add that despite joint ventures, China's domestic internal combustion engine industry never really caught up. In fact their best engines were made by wholly domestic companies but those were not nearly as good as those made by Western and Japanese companies.

As Warren Buffet noted over a decade ago, BEV is an opportunity for China to simply skip over all of that and just leapfrog everyone else. So it's even better than greenfield. It's green field for them while allowing them to completely disrupt existing foreign competitors.

I took the bait.

“The goal of Landlock is to enable restriction of ambient rights (e.g. global filesystem or network access) for a set of processes. Because Landlock is a stackable LSM [(Linux Security Model)], it makes it possible to create safe security sandboxes as new security layers in addition to the existing system-wide access-controls. ... Landlock empowers any process, including unprivileged ones, to securely restrict themselves.”

I don’t know what caused this, but I’m sure it’s painful. You have my sympathy.

I’ve come to a belief that emotions are a result of evolution. We have evolved drives to avoid death. And since humans get sick and injured, we can avoid death if we have the help of other humans to feed and protect ourselves. Being alone risks death. And our emotions have been evolved a drive that makes loneliness feel like a life-and-death situation.

So, feeling awful when alone is natural. I know that’s little immediate comfort, but it does give direction.

If you fear physical safety, you can get a dog for protection, train in martial arts (I like boxing), and get stronger. Or fortify your house/room.

If you fear being sick or injured, you can stockpile food and medicine.

And make friends.

If you want friends to protect you, find people who do protection everyday. Help a police charity. Go to a gym and meet buff people. Make friends at a group martial arts class. These protectors are usually men. If you’re scared of a particular group of people, go meet and talk to them - you may find they are less scary than you think.

If you want friends to take care of you when you’re sick or injured, find people who do this everyday. Nurses, social workers, etc. Volunteer with churches. Volunteer with food banks or meals on wheels. These helpers are usually women.

Meeting neighbors is good for both of these categories. Have a grill night and invite neighbors. I also like the idea of going to a coworking location, because you might find people similar to yourself and that makes the easiest connections.

Best of luck, Mike
Show HN: Klyrx.xyz - Independent reliability rating for crypto assets&protocols
by sergeyso | 2026-03-09 16:36:40+00:00
Hey HN,

We built Klyrx.xyz - a small, transparent reliability score for crypto assets and protocols.
No sponsors, no paid placements, no affiliate links. Just public data + a simple, open formula.
Different scoring for different types:

- Stable assets (USDT, USDC, etc.):
score = 70% market factors (volatility, liquidity, cap, age) + 30% peg stability

- Regular assets (BTC, ETH, SOL, etc.):
score = 30% volatility + 30% liquidity + 30% market cap + 10% age

- Protocols (Lido, Aave, Uniswap, etc.):
score = 30% TVL stability + 22% usage + 20% age + 10% security + 18% TVL size

Data comes from CoinGecko, DefiLlama, Dune, and on-chain sources.
All weights are visible on the site, and we are open to changing them based on feedback.

Current top is interesting: stablecoins lead (makes sense), BTC/ETH are close behind, some protocols score very high due to TVL & security.

Would love your thoughts:
- Does the weighting feel reasonable?
- What important factor is missing? (e.g. exploit history, governance risks, on-chain activity depth)
- Any asset/protocol you think is clearly misranked?

Site: https://klyrx.xyz

The code is not open-source yet, but the methodology is fully described on the site, and I'm happy to share the logic/formula details.

Roast it, improve it, whatever - feedback is very welcome.

I was surprised not to see the roommate suggestion more in this thread.

I guess it's highly dependent on where you're at culturally, as I can think of many regions where this wouldn't be normal.

After ~15 years of living alone I just took on a new roommate myself in my 40s. It's a friend of a family member who is half my age and needed a better living situation. I'm in a house that's too big for me and this kinda works. I'm still adjusting and largely an introvert but this more than scratches my social itch and gives me an excuse to cook more/better food.

Broadly speaking internet commentary about cars is crap and the differences between any two competing products (i.e. ignore the dishonest comparisons between a Chevy Cobalt and a Toyota Landcruiser) are way, way smaller than the online fanboys, shills and people with a very expensive purchasing decision they want to feel validated in will lead you to believe.

Windows 11 has a "voice access" application that is amazing, seemingly hidden, and much better than the other built-in Win voice svcs. Voice Access is fully local, poorly documented, and the advanced settings menu is hidden.

*Quick guide to save you time:

-you can say "scroll to top/bottom", "click ok", "open Firefox", etc.

-it will always be typing when you talk unless it a) hears a command, b) you say "command mode", which will listen only for commands, or c) you mute:

-"mute" puts mic to sleep so you don't accidentally type when speaking ("unmute" to unmute)

-say "what can I say" to open advanced menu, allowing you to setup custom voice commands ("open projects folder", "open xyz website", etc.). Works well!

-full voice control of mouse is possible but a little slow. "Open grid" splits screen into a numbered 3x3 grid. You pick a number, it creates a new 3x3 grid in side the box you chose, and repeat until you can tell it to click.

The other thing I tried on Android is Futo voice input via F-droid + an app that turns you phone into a bluetooth keyboard (so as I spoke, it "typed" on the target device). The keyboard app is "Bluetooth Keyboard & Mouse"). It worked smoothly sometimes and other times not.
Show HN: Local AI stack (Docker, Ollama) that lets you build apps without Python
by aeberhart | 2026-03-09 16:37:18+00:00
We built a local-first AI stack (Docker + Ollama) that lets you build LLM tools and workflows without writing Python. It supports:

* Multimodal chat
* Retrieval Augmented Generation (incl. automated & scheduled doc import)
* MCP tool support (web search, file access, O365)
* Custom tools implemented using JSONata & SQL

Most local AI tools are chat UIs. We wanted something closer to a programmable AI platform that still runs locally.

* leverage a low code platform to insert programmatic hooks in the chat
* provide custom tools written in SQL or JSONata
* embed LLMs in workflows and custom UIs
* give fine grained role based access control to AI apps (who can see what and which tools is the LLM allowed to use)

To summarize, it aims at being as flexible as custom Python code while being as easy to use as Open WebUI.

Thanks for trying it! The localhost:8081 websocket isn't from Zenòdot, that's likely a browser extension (React DevTools, a proxy tool, or similar). Could you try in an incognito/private window with extensions disabled?
The search button activates once you've selected at least one language from the selector below the search bar. If you haven't picked any languages yet, it stays inactive... that might be what you're seeing.
Let me know if that helps!

For what it's worth, it seems like the actual law that would be involved (so the deliberate legislative choice) does not allow Hegseth to do what he says he wants to do: https://www.justsecurity.org/132851/anthropic-supply-chain-r...

So it's not just that there's be a transfer of power to the executive (there is), there's also straight up executive overreach.

The key line "I’m getting a similar sense for the recent US foreign interventions and wars. They all seem to work slightly better than they should."

There is no measurement of efficacy here. It feels like these things are working better because the US military is now doing big public things, but that is not necessarily a good change over not-doing-big-public-things.

Hmm. I understand that perspective, but I'm not sure I agree. It does seem to matter over a relatively short & realistic time scale. According to the Wikipedia page, there have been 27 seconds added since 1972, which is only 44 years ago. At that rate, that's about 1 minute per 100 years. We have many systems that have existed for several centuries and I think it's not unreasonable to start making plans for systems that may exist for millennia, where you're starting to talk about a 10+ minute offset at the current rate.

But I do think there is a valid argument that the infrequency of these events cause more issues than maybe one large adjustment 500 years from now would cause. Not sure where I land on this one.

I think a lot of people have projects like this going at the moment, but I'm working on a deterministic (i.e. code / data persistence) layer that sits between agents and helps orchestrate their work.

Basically an API wrapping a cyclic graph where rules govern the state transitions / graph traversal (i.e. rules around handing off work between agents and the associated review, rollback and human intervention escalation logic).

It's mostly just to teach myself about multiagent patterns and what blend of "agentic autonomy" and deterministic / human governance gets the best results with the current set of (Anthropic) tools available.

I don't really know what I'm doing w.r.t AI, but having 15 years of industry SWE experience (high-availability distributed systems and full-stack web dev) on top of a fairly-solid CS education I feel like I know what the results of a working system should be and I'm learning a lot about the AI pieces as I go through trial and error.

Generally it feels like there are lots of ways the next generation of AI-assisted coding workflows could work best (beyond just "AI helps write code", I mean) and the results will be as much about the tooling built around the AI bits as it will be the improvements in models / AI bits themselves (barring a theoretical breakthrough in the space).

Trying to figure out what my personal dev workflow will look like in the middle of this evolving landscape is what led to this project, very much a scratch my own itch thing.

About 40% of the uranium used in Germany came from Rosatom, either directly from Russia or from Kasachstan.

That would have helped us to reduce co2, but not to get independent from Russia.

Also:
Natural gas is used heavily in chemistry and the steel industry, electricity alone does not help, although I admit not raising the point in the previous comment.

It's also that the west collectively convinced themselves that the economy could be built on high value knowledge work and services and manufacturing will be handled by someone else. Of course people would rather live near some offices, or maybe a workshop than a heavy industrial site...

The transition of my country from a socialist to a western capitalist system included a mass closure of heavy industry and what remains is dying a slow death of high energy costs. I remember when a coal mine closed there were all those marvelous ideas how the area would transition to high tech programming jobs; the thing that actually saved the area was a fuse manufacturing plant.
