To do work with your hands.

I was just in a datacenter deploying a bunch of infrastructure while coordinating with remote network operations and sysadmin teams. It was damn annoying having to constantly check my phone for new slack messages, or deal with Siri reading back messages in it's incompetent manner. I missed quite a few time sensitive messages like "move that fiber from port A to port B" due to noise or getting busy with another task and kept folks waiting for longer than needed.

In limited circumstances having a wearable "HUD" interface would be quite nice. Especially if it had great screen quality and I could do things like see a port mapping/network diagram/blueprints/whatever while doing the actual work. Would save considerable time vs. having to look down at a laptop or phone screen and lose my place in the physical wire loom or whatnot. Having an integrated crash cart (e.g. via wireless dongles) would be even more exciting.

That's just one recent task that comes to mind.

There are plenty of real world hands-on jobs where this would be quite helpful. So long as it's not connected to meta or the cloud or anything other than a local device or work network.

For a more general use-case I have what amounts to minor facial blindness/forgetfulness of names. I need to study your face for a long time over many interactions to actually remember you. Something as simple as wearing glasses vs. not can mean I will not recognize someone I've spent months interacting with multiple times a week.

I've long wished I had some way to implant something in my brain that would give the equivalent of video game name avatars superimposed over someone's head. For totally non-nefarious reasons, just names of folks I previously have met pulled from my contacts list. Obviously this is unlikely to ever be a socially acceptable thing due to recording and other potential abuses - but I have thought this for at least 25 years now - before the privacy concerns became obvious. Wishful thinking, but I can imagine myriad of uses for such technology if it didn't enable such a wide-spread number of potential abuses.

Remember that feeling when you successfully wrote, debugged and ran your first useful program ? I think we are always chasing after that feeling in our own way with our little side projects.

Using AI is probably the fastest and shortest way to get that feeling(or dopamine hit) repeatedly if you let go of a little control on code.

I just hope in the long run AI doesn't take away that thrill and joy when it stops being a novelty and challenge.
Show HN: Personal AI gateway for OpenClaw – tokenomics
by crawdog | 2026-03-03 03:52:28+00:00
I created a personal AI gateway that runs on your local machine to provide guardrails for any service that communicates with popular LLMs. You can run this as a proxy for openclaw to inject prompts, filter PII, warn if there are jailbreak attempts. Can also work in a distributed fashion.

It creates a personal access token (PAT) based on your API keys from Anthropic, OpenAI or others, then injects policies. It does not store secrets, but instead stores a reference to environment variables storing those values.

Another benefit - if you execute Claude code or Codex using the run command, you can also record session token usage and the prompt traffic. This allows you to store it with your github project as a shared memory.

Run the binary using 'run' for a context that lasts for the command, or use 'start/stop' to initiate the proxy at localhost:8443. There is a web UI you can access to gather stats as well.

There have been thousands-millions of proposals since the dawn of the internet that got nowhere.

To exist is to recognize the material constraints of reality; there are things humans won't ever discover. Ergo we have to prioritize what is useful.

This proposal is not useful. It goes against the fundamental interest of website owners to differentiate and build up a moat around direct user relationship and data. WebMCP is frankly just a land grab attempt by Google to get more free stuff from publishers.

> The big idea with Linux/BSD/fully-open-source is that you can fix whatever you don't like.

That's a great theory, and sometimes it's actually true, but in reality for most users most of the time, Linux is as "fixable" as Windows or macOS, because most people, even the technically savvy ones aren't driver developers. Heck most software developers probably aren't even C programmers anymore. And even if someone had the competency in the language and low level system programming, do they have the time and the inclination to re-write the audio stack so that it finally works correctly? Or to fix the fact that even in 2026, sleep and hibernate are hit and miss? And then to maintain their patch against future system updates or go through the process of getting it upstreamed?

Most Linux users, and especially most Linux users switching from something like macOS or Windows would be waiting and hoping that someone else decided to fix the thing for them because they either lack the skills, time or inclination to do it themselves. And we know this is true because if it weren't true, all the various "wars" over the years like systemd and pulse audio and wayland wouldn't have been a war at all because everyone who didn't like it would have easily patched it out and moved on. But a modern full fledged OS experience is a mess of intertwined and complex dependencies. So when a distro decides to switch a big chunk of the underlying stack like that, most people either have to go along with it, or hope that enough people feel strongly enough about it to fork everything and make their own distro, and then they have to hope the forkers have the passion and drive to maintain that for them.

Yes, you "can" fix whatever you don't like in linux. Just like you "can" find all the information you need to diagnose and treat whatever medical condition you might have online and at your local libraries. But most people are still going to pay a doctor, because most people don't have the time or skills to actually do it.

> The differences between the computables and the full reals are much more subtle than the differences between the rationals and the reals.

How so?

Using the definition of computable numbers where you provide input of n and the output is every digit of the number up to n places past the decimal point, we can rephrase that definition like so:

A computable number c is one with the following property:

A Turing machine exists which, provided with a tolerance δ, will exhibit a rational number q < c such that c - q < δ

Clearly, a suitable rational will always exist, since rationals can be found within any distance of any real.

But for some particular real, we might not be able to find that rational through the use of a fixed Turing machine, in which case the real would be noncomputable. This suggests to me that there is a wider gap between the computables and the reals, where the approximation of a real number is limited by the need to describe it with a Turing machine, than there is between the rationals and the reals, where we can use the same approximation, but without that limitation.

(Obviously the rationals are a subset of the computables, but if we're considering a relationship to the real numbers, the rationals seem to have one that is closer and more direct...? The relationship of a computable number to a real number is defined through intermediary rational numbers.)

You almost can. With Stage Manager enabled, an iPad plugged into a Studio Display is shockingly Mac-like. You get a menubar, windows that resize, a mouse pointer, etc. I could easily convince someone that they were on a Mac if I hid the iPad.

I don't like Stage Manager at all in undocked mode, though. I wish it would just turn on when the iPad was docked, and turn off otherwise.

Also, a DNS client and NTP reimplementation that have both had security bugs, the broken replacement for syslogd, etc.

After a while, I just lost track. Happily, I don't have to deal with any of that stuff these days.

I'd expect devuan to be a decent hypervisor host, but haven't tried. There's also SmartOS (a few forks away from being Solaris), which looks like it had a release this year. It includes native ZFS.

Honestly, at this point, I'm looking at devuan as the last stop before I jump on the FreeBSD train. It looks like they let you choose between X11 or Wayland, at least for now. I got Steam to work in a FreeBSD VM, but it face-planted because the VM host didn't support any sort of 3d acceleration.

Hopefully enough users will revolt to keep X11, systemd-free Linux viable, but I wonder if that particular niche (which still works great out of the box) is going to end up less popular than the BSDs.

As noted in the article - and in the related article [0] by Stephen who goes in-depth into the development of the custom CRT display adapter - some of the constraints/wishes were: wanting to go beyond 18-bit color to avoid color banding, and also to have a generic USB interface so that the CRT could be driven by a laptop or any PC.

I also think that the people involved in this project enjoyed inventing/creating/coding just as much as they wanted to "get it done" - and so, there's definitely a healthy/heavy mix of "we took this existing thing" and "we invented this completely new way of doing things".

That would be good. A YC company is paying people to do just this. You know the data is being uploaded, so you can avoid e.g. your kids coming into frame.

Really it should just be in the UI. Click Upload this and get 10c/minute or whatever for the video. Choose what you upload. That'd be closer in effect to using social media.

The mini is the only iPad I'm interested in. I finally bought one after years of dragging my heels waiting for multi-user support.

Still, I don't use it much. Mostly I'm not a tablet person, but also, the UX is just so bad. It's total abandonware and it shows. The keyboard often covers more than half the screen. The side drawer on maps will cover the "you are here pin" that's in the middle of the screen. And so on. They just don't even try.

OpenAI just made a bold move that could quietly reshape the future of AI. The creator of OpenClaw is joining OpenAI and instead of locking the technology behind closed doors they are keeping it open source and placing it under a foundation. That means one of the fastest growing AI agent systems in the world stays accessible to developers everywhere.

Why does that matter? Because OpenClaw is not just a chatbot. It is an AI that can actually take action across apps handling email managing bookings dealing with real world tasks. This signals a major shift from AI that talks to AI that works. If this momentum continues we may be watching the beginning of a new platform era where intelligent agents become as essential as smartphones once did.

Nice project for teaching kids systems thinking. One tip for Claude Code workflows with vanilla JS like this: keep a dedicated terminal pane running a file watcher alongside your agent session. When Claude modifies simulation logic, you see the rebuild output in real time without context switching. Lets you catch off-by-one errors in flow rates before Claude moves on. The separation of concerns mirrors what your refinery sim is actually teaching.

> I think the people wearing cannabis-leaf t shirts are generally annoying, and I hate how everyone who smokes a joint and watches a Carl Sagan video seems to decide that they're a philosopher.

Oh god. You just reminded me of my last "smoke buddy". Someone I tolerated because we got high together. He was definitely the type to watch some shit he didn't understand and have some sort of revelation. One of the last before I cut ties with him was about how he believed the earth would one day "become another sun". The earth is getting all of this energy over time from the sun, so it will eventually have enough energy to become a sun itself! He was really proud of that one.

Pairing a PM-style thinking layer with Claude Code is smart. The biggest productivity unlock I've seen is keeping multiple named sessions per project rather than one long context -- lets you run exploration in parallel without polluting your main working thread. Also worth logging cost-per-session early so you can spot which prompting patterns drain tokens fast. Good tooling around session organization pays back fast.

I think the assertion here is there are no Android phones that don't have long term support. Apple compared to Google Pixel phones are basically the same longevity today[0][1].

With a lot of Android devices they'll have a lifespan even beyond that. Although there are choices to make at that point. You just don't have the option with Apple.

I was obsessed with a handful of Deftones songs back in the day. But outside those, I just couldn't get into them wholesale. I think they just weren't heavy enough for me. Now I'm old, and one of my mates is a huge Alice in Chains fan, and he showed me their ropes (I didn't know much prior). I'm very into them now. It's the same with a lot of bands that were before my time. My dad loves Dire Straights, and I thought they were OK when I was younger. I appreciate them at a different level now.

Not sure what my point is.

The government hasn't made much/any public comment on it that I've seen. There is this reddit comment: https://old.reddit.com/r/amateurradio/comments/1rdgh9e/start...

> From one of my internal sources at ECCC, basically they’re completely overhauling the warning system right now. We had the colour coded warnings implemented in November but the real massive change is the convective alert system which is moving to free form polygons and automatic storm tracking this spring. Basically combined with the fact they’re also changing over to semi-automatic phrasing on all warnings, the cost to upgrade the weather radio network to be capable of handling the convective alert changes would be wayyy to much to warrant it. They have already had to basically completely gut the way they issue CAP files to alert ready which has delayed the project by at least a year and put the budget over by god knows how much. Given the relative low use of WRC, and the enormous cost (we’re talking in the 10s of millions here) I can understand why. I will miss it. I have fond memories of being at my cottage listening to Severe Thunderstorm warnings while watching those beautiful summer storms move over the lake. WRC will alas become another part of our history.

CA just means Course Assistant/less rigorous TA at some institutions.

> Do you find it odd that someone might feel it necessary to AI-up solutions to your acronyms in an effort to better understand where you're coming from

Not really. It would be too difficult to give an entire crash course on fairly complex topics so I may as well go straight to the point and let people google-fu where possible. That's why I try to provide citations and links where possible.

Also, this conversation reminded me of an incident a couple years ago at Tufts [0][1] - and this was initiated by an ally (South Korea).

> It's a real trade-off though and I'm thankful for any feedback, including this one.

Feedback: If your app is going to use 10GB of storage, tell the user in advance and give them a one-click way to remove it. Just basic manners. Don't pick your nose at the dinner table. It's not hard, just common decency.

> even the ones who are so often experience "approval fatigue". Not having to ask for approval is valuable.

This is by and large a short-term pro for Anthropic. It's often not one for the user, and in the long-term, often barely even for the company. In any case, it's a great example of putting Anthropic priorities above the users'. Which is fine and happens all the time, but in this case just isn't necessary. Similar to the AGENTS.md case. We're on the cusp of a pattern establishing here and that's something you'll want to stop before it's ossified.

If you've lived in your house/apartment for a good long while and settled in, you have an idea of what it was like to use Classic Mac OS 9 (and earlier).

It's like flicking a lightswitch or reaching into a drawer and grabbing a spoon without looking. Everything is always right where you left it. Double-click a folder and the window opens in exactly the same state that you left it when it was last closed. All the icons are arranged in the same way, with the same label colours you gave them, and each of the folders inside that folder open the same way as well. One folder might open in list view sorted by Date Modified while another opens in icon view with the exact arrangement you decided on, all according to the way you left them.

All of those folders open their windows in the exact same position, size, and shape they had when you closed them. This lets you quickly drill down through layers of nested folders, moving your mouse to the next one before your eyes can even register it on screen.

The effect of this extreme level of persistence is that you develop muscle memory for the mouse. No other operating system environment I have ever used works like this, or at least this pervasively (modern macOS still has this for the menu bar). Everyone else just gives up and relegates the muscle-memory control to the keyboard only. This is a huge tragedy! A Classic Mac OS power user works with one hand on the mouse, one hand on the keyboard, and uses muscle memory with both to fly around the UI and work very efficiently. This is especially valuable when you're working in software that needs the mouse anyway, such as art or design software.

Show HN: Starcraft2 replay rendering engine and AI coach
by tomkit | 2026-03-03 04:09:00+00:00
Starcraft2 is an old game, but it's always lacked a way to visualize game replays outside of the game itself.

I built a replay rendering engine from scratch using the replay files and Claude Code.

The replay files contain sampled position coordinates and commands that the player inputs. So I built an isometric view using the map and overlayed unit icons over the map, then interpolated the positions that units move in over time.

I also extracted additional metrics from the game data as well - some are derived on top of other metrics.

Finally, I pass all this context into a LLM for it to critique gameplay and offer strengths and improvements per player.

It's not perfect, but a good starting point to iterate and improve

Let me know what you think!

Meta has consistently and repeatedly shown an absolute lack of respect for user privacy for basically as long as they’ve existed as a company. I’m honestly not certain there’s anything fully out of the question as far as things they might do, regardless of what their policies might say.

Two examples that are top of mind…

They exploited browser vulnerabilities not unlike malware to track users’ behavior across the web:
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/06/protect-yourself-metas...

They bought a “privacy” VPN app and used it to harvest data, then abused Apple’s enterprise app deployments to continue to ship the app after it was banned from the app store: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onavo
