This was figured out a while ago based on the hints given.

That said, I'm pretty excited. Motorola of the last decade or so has made really good hardware with basically stock firmware and a terrible update policy, which is why many avoid them. Seriously, they just offer quarterly updates on flagships, which is incredibly unsecure. Punting software to Graphene solves the biggest gripe many have.

Hey, this is very interesting! As someone working on an extension that works as an ActivityPub client, I don't have to deal with CORS issues so much (most servers configure CORS properly, and the extension can bypass CORS issues anyway) but I just spent a good chunk of my weekend working on a proxy that could deal with Mastodon's "authorized fetch".

So, basically, any URI that I need to resolve goes tries first to fetch directly and it falls back to making the request through the proxy if I get any type of authentication error.

I would love to be able to share all my sessions automatically. But I would want to share a carefully PII/secrets redacted session. I added a "session sharing" feature to my agent wrapper that just grabs innerHTML and uploads to cloudflare. So I can share how I produced/vibe coded an entire project from start to finish.

For example: https://github.com/kzahel/PearSync/blob/main/sessions/sessio...

I think it's valuable to share that so people who are interested can see how you interact with agents. Sharing raw JSONL is probably a waste and contains too many absolute paths and potential for sharing unintentionally.

https://github.com/peteromallet/dataclaw?tab=readme-ov-file#... is one project I saw that makes an attempt to remove PII/secrets. But I certainly wouldn't share all my sessions right now, I just don't know what secrets accidentally got in them.

Sone of the best engineers I've seen use commit messages to explain their intent, sometimes even in many sentences, below the message.

I bet, without trying to be snarky, that most AI users don't even know you can commit with an editor instead of -m "message" and write more detail.

It's good that AI fans are finding out that commits are important, now don't reinvent the wheel and just spend a couple minutes writing each commit message. You'll thank yourself later.
Collective human knowledge vs. individual brains
by shoman3003 | 2026-03-02 07:40:27+00:00
what we think of as AGI is usually imagined as the knowledge contained within a single human brain, which is nothing compared to the data contained within a whole civilization. assuming each human brain contains at least 100T of data, the entire earth civilization must contain at least 10,000x that (assuming most humans share start with the same basic information and build on top of it).

assuming that our compression methods are the same as the ones developed accidently through evolution (highly unlikely as most of these are open source and haven't really been worked on much in comparison). that means we need at least 10k*8b= 80 trillion terabytes of data.

we don't have enough data center to house them even if we had the data available to copy right now.

of course, much of this data doesn't look the same as what you we are used to in computers. I had this issue again and again while trying to automate accounting with Ai, much of the insights i get from accountant i don't know what to do with or how to feed it into an LLM. Hell, i can't really put it into words myself of intellectually put a framework on it (and i studied accounting long time ago).

I am not saying Ai can't actually get there, it already is automating accounting. accountants used to laugh about the mere mention of it in 2018, now campfire is eating SAP. What i am saying is that we have really really underestimated the storage capacity needed to replace entire industries.

As the person who implemented GSUB support for Arabic in Prince (via the Allsorts Rust crate), this post highly intrigued me… especially because I wanted to see how they implemented GSUB for Opentype while being a film director and possibly stunt double on the side.

After seeing your comment, I’m saddened to see that OP and their comments in this threat are just bots.

Also love using Obsidian for this! Small suggestion, use the `aliases` property for alternative titles, I usually use them for a title that means the same thing but uses different keywords. Makes it easier to search for a note.

Although usually a bottom-up approach using automatically updating `Map of Content` notes (Bases) work well for me for finding content.
by Jach | 2026-03-02 07:42:38+00:00
In general, no, but sometimes, yes, or at least linked from the commit the same way user stories/issues are. Admittedly the 'sometimes' from my perspective is mostly when there's a need to educate fellow humans about what's possible or about good prompt techniques and workarounds for the AI being dumb. It can also reveal more of x% by AI, y% by human by for example diffing the outputs from the session against the final commits.

I think it could become economically viable to physically send storage devices back and forth. You can put a lot of bits in a kilogram of mass.

If we get to the point where we can reliably make a round trip to LEO once per day every day, I think some new bandwidth options open up.

Transmitting information through the air seems very obvious, but there are certain advantages to physical transport.

Yes, This is amazing.

My family had a moto phone and my god does it work till even now while being so snappy. I actually daily drove it for some time quite recently. It only has battery issues (let's hope that EU adds replacable batteries soon as well) and my mom only replaced the phone because she needed app which required the phone update.

Considering this partnership, To me it feels like Motorola can have the update issue be fixed.

Graphene was the reason I was thinking of buying a pixel phone second hand. Actually nope now, I am gonna wait for Motorola to ship GrapheneOS phone. I genuinely wish Motorola good luck for adding grapheneos.

I wish they can add Linux in future too but perhaps that might be asking them of TOO much but this company is probably hearing to the feedback if they have partnered up with grapheneos.

Actually, when I decided to buy my mother the new phone from her old Moto, I made a list and everything and I remember asking her about a new motorola but even me and her (iirc) both were worried about security updates and I saw online reviews/personal experience about software/android version updates being quite an issue which isn't an issue in for example pixel which has 10 years update policy iirc. With grapheneos now being partnered with moto, I do hope that it becomes an issue of the past.

They truly have the chance of becoming a good company for privacy savvy phone users while being affordable and having a good supply chain. I may be getting too excited but whoever thought of the deal must be a genius because I do think that if Motorola plays its cards right, then they definitely got a huge potential unlocked.

Funny that the first Swedish translation, from 1947, also had an illustration of a huge Gollum, and Tolkien already commented on that long before Tove Jansson's did her version.

> The translation of the name 'Hobbit' to 'Hompe' was not the only thing that annoyed Tolkien about this edition. Already in 1948, he wrote to Rosemary, a young fan, that "the picture of Gollum in the Swedish edition of The Hobbit makes him look huge."

Overall seems like a weird edition.

> Will the sandboxed google play permit banking apps to work using TPM and secured credentials?

Apps that don't work don't fail due to technical reasons but because upstream says so, i.e. Google Wallet. My banking app works just fine.

> I would expect whatever you initialised before grapheneOS is wiped before you can run the alternate OS.

Yes.

> Is termux possible with a root/sudo function?

GOS doesn't support root by itself since they deem it a security risk, but it's possible.

I think it says something about the current focus and mindset, that this got 12 upvotes, despite you having posted it three times.

We also care about security for CI and production workloads (actuated/slicervm). I would have liked to have seen more people becoming aware of this, and taking action.

The CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN exfil is interesting. When our code review both runs, it thinks it has a valid LLM token, but it's a dummy API key that's replaced through MITM on egress. (Not a product, just something we've found very valuable internally.. )

I believe Tove Jansson also painted the color cover for the first authorized American edition of Fellowship of the Ring (1965). In _Letters_ one can read Tolkien’s reaction. He was quite taken aback, calling out the Emus (!) in the foreground. As if “ the illustrator hadn’t read my book.”

The 1973 Ballantine editions carried only Tolkien’s own paintings on the covers and slipcase.

I only learned of her involvement after becoming a huge Jansson fan. I had to take another look at the Emu.

StreetComplete is nice, but if the public transport profile in OsmAnd can't find a bus line, it's probably not because the bus stop is missing shelter information. To fix navigation issues, you'll probably have to edit map geometry, which has a higher barrier to entry: https://www.osmand.net/docs/user/navigation/routing/public-t...

So let's say I run this with a lot of tasks.

- How many tasks/schedules have you tested?
- What if some schedule has to run another schedule on demand. Can I clearly see it in a management view?
- If you and me are running this. Can my task contact your task and be stay alive while another user finishes his task?
AnChat – E2E messenger on decentralized infrastructure, no phone number required
by debros | 2026-03-02 07:46:34+00:00
AnChat Lite is an E2E encrypted messenger that runs on decentralized infrastructure
instead of central servers (orama.network). Authentication is wallet-based — no phone number, no email, no identity requirements.

We built it because every "private" messenger still depends on centralized
infrastructure controlled by a single entity. Signal requires a phone number
and routes through Signal's servers. Matrix is federated but still
server-dependent. We wanted something where no single entity controls the
messaging infrastructure.

How it works:

- Messages route through the Orama Network — a distributed network of
independent nodes, not a single central server
- E2E encryption on all message content
- Metadata shielding via the ANyONe Protocol (onion routing) — not just
message content, but who talks to whom is hidden
- The infrastructure layer is custom-built: Go backend, Raft-based distributed
SQL (RQLite), WireGuard mesh between independent nodes, self-operated DNS
- No AWS, no GCP — runs on independent VPS nodes with no cloud provider
dependency
- Wallet-based auth means zero identity data collected at signup

Currently in closed beta on iOS (TestFlight) and Android (Google Play + APK).

Known limitations: beta quality, small user base, wallet-based onboarding has
friction for non-crypto-native users. Working on all of it.

What we'd love feedback on:
- The decentralized messaging architecture and its tradeoffs vs. federated
(Matrix) or centralized (Signal)
- UX of wallet-based onboarding for mainstream users
- What's missing that would make you consider it

it's not a terrible idea. It has it's uses. You just have to know when to use it and when not to use it.

For example, to have fast load times and zero temp memory overhead I've used that for several games. Other than changing a few offsets to pointers the data is used directly. I don't have to worry about incompatibilities. Either I'm shipping for a single platform or there's a different build for each platform, including the data. There's a version in the first few bytes just so during dev we don't try to load old format files with new struct defs. But otherwise, it's great for getting fast load times.

Update policy is one of the largest reason if not THE reason why I didn't pick motorola phone. We had a last Motorola phone which we had to buy a new one solely because the last phone hadn't received updates even though the hardware was top notch and we needed an particular app (also its battery was a bit of issue)

So with them partnering up with graphene, I am super excited too. Motorola phones are also pretty price effective imo for the quality of hardware.
Show HN: OxyJen – Java framework to orchestrate LLMs in a graph-style execution
by bdivyansh11 | 2026-03-02 07:47:36+00:00
For the past few months, I've been building OxyJen, an open-source framework for building reliable, multi-step AI pipelines in Java.
In most Java LLM projects, everything is still just strings. You build a prompt, make a call, and then parse your regex and wait if it works on the "almost-JSON" that comes back. It's brittle, untestable, and feels like the opposite of Java's "contract-first" philosophy.

OxyJen's approach is different. It's a graph-based orchestration framework(currently sequential) where LLMs are treated as native, reliable nodes in a pipeline, not as magical helper utilities. The core idea is to bring deterministic reliability to probabilistic AI calls. Everything is a node in a graph based system, LLMNode, LLMChain, LLM api is used to build a simple LLM node for the graph with retry/fallback, jitter/backoff, timeout enforcements(currently supports OpenAI).

PromptTemplate, Variable(required/optional) and PromptRegistry is used to build and store reusable prompts which saves you from re writing prompts.

JSONSchema and SchemaGenerator is used to build schema from POJOs/Records which will provide Json enforcements on outputs of these LLMs. SchemaNode<T> wraps SchemaEnforcer and validator to map LLM output directly to the classes.
Enforcer also makes sure your output is correct and takes maximum retries.

Currently working on the Tool API to help users build their custom tools in Oxyjen.
I'm a solo builder right now and the project is in its very early stage so I would really appreciate any feedback and contributions(even a small improvement in docs would be valuable).

This is very nicely done. It works well, both on desktop and mobile. It's well presented and polished.

As for the game... At first I thought it was going to be just ok. Nothing more than a couple of minutes and then move on. But then I ended playing a bunch of the puzzles in a row without even noticing the time. It plays very, very well and it's quite fun.

Congratulations.

I'm really not into math and got really lost in the second half of "Adding points on a curve". Just don't understand what the author wants to tell me with the grouping and the role of the identity element, which is called infinity but is zero?

However, after looking at the next section and playing with the chart I immediately got the idea where the whole article is heading. Interesting to see how this works.
Show HN: I built design tool with a visual sitemap maker
by epic_ai | 2026-03-02 07:49:29+00:00
I’m a student founder building EPIC (https://no-edit.lovable.app)— a browser-based design tool (posters, presentations, logos, templates) with manual editing and optional AI mode.
But the interesting part isn’t the editor.
It’s the navigation + visual sitemap tool inside it.
Most small projects struggle with structure. Pages get messy. Navigation grows randomly. Conversions drop because the architecture isn’t clear.
So I built a visual sitemap generator that lets you:
Map your entire website structure visually
See hierarchy instantly
Identify dead-end pages
Fix navigation flow before building
Export and iterate
Over the last few weeks:
100+ organic daily visitors
100 signups in a single day
Avg session time ~2+ minutes
Users spending time specifically on the navigation tool
No paid ads. Mostly Hacker News + organic discovery.
Still early. Still improving UX and performance.
I’d genuinely love feedback from people who care about structure, IA, and conversion architecture.
What do you think is missing in current sitemap tools?

I would guess that since there are already companies providing virtual flings (girlfriends/boyfriends, etc) that this is already starting to happen. There is talk about the recent AI chat emulation where several agents apparently created a religion, and debated various aspects of it.

One of my hobbies is researching the heck out of Bible stories, in terms of what they probably meant at the time of writing, and how they are perceived today, and drawing out various lessons that they might be trying to get across. I can certainly see the potential for the emergence of doctrine.

Semi-related: I experimented with ChatGPT and got it to analyze a thought or claim using the Socratic method. It will grill the crap out of every aspect of your belief until you are absolutely sure of your convictions. https://chatgpt.com/g/g-6982d3ffa5cc819196c4e1d8ac29bea1-soc... I can easily see someone building an agent like this that proselytizes with that same question/answer conviction found in books like Reasoning From The Scriptures, that the Watchtower publishes. It's purpose is to answer every possible question you could ask of a "Field Minister" and actively leads you to questions that they hope would resonate and draw the person in. That would be a bigger effort than what I did, but it certainly would work.

> Motorola makes great hardware too

Do they? I genuinely don’t know because I don’t think I have ever seen a Motorola smartphone in the wild and their heavy involvement with the police and surveillance state has my attention piqued a bit. I’m just saying GrapheneOS partnering with possibly the biggest police state surveillance solutions provider? What’s that all about?

Then the feds come in with a national security law and bypass all those state/local protections and slurp it all up into an AI-powered Palantir database, the very existence of which is classified. Suddenly you’re the victim of parallel construction and don’t even know it.

The database CANNOT EXIST SAFELY. Why don’t people who “might be okay with this IF…” understand that?

Collect the data and it WILL be misused, eventually, with 100% certainty. Has nobody read Snowden’s book? They even have a name for intel agents casually spying on their partners/crushes.

The law does not apply to everyone equally. The intelligence agencies get to break any laws they want without consequences, by longstanding tradition (remember 007’s “license to kill” or the CIA’s famous heart attack gun?). There are NO legal safeguards that can prevent abuse, no matter how you word them, because there will always be some animals who are “more equal than others” to whom they do not apply (“national security carve-out”, “LEO exception”, etc).

Sadly, those to whom they do not apply are now coordinating with the new wannabe SturmAbteilung in what are called “fusion centers”.

The mathematics of QM works extremely well.

Yes but also absolutely not. The evolution of the wavefunction when nobody is looking is unitary, which among other things means it is time-reversible. That math works extremely well and predicts the correct outcome.

When we are measuring a quantum system, the probability distribution of the measurement outcome is described by the Born rule, the amplitude of the wavefunction squared, and the collapse postulate tells us that after the measurement the wave function will be in the measured state, which is a non-unitary and non-time-reversible process. That math works extremely well and predicts the correct outcome.

But - really big but - what is a measurement device but a huge quantum system, what is a measurement but a quantum system and a measurement device and an environment undergoing time evolution? So both descriptions should apply, unitary time evolution and wave function collapse, but that can not be the case because they are incompatible, one is unitary, the other is not. The mathematical description is inconsistent.

There is just something about it that feels off about these prediction markets. Like there is no end to the terrible incentives and negative externalities.

Personally I don't like banning vices. Regulation is much better. So I always use the ban on selling organs to anchor the "yeah, sometimes things just need to be banned" side. Online gambling in general, but particularly these prediction markets, just really don't sit right. I can see perhaps how gaming gambling could be effectively regulated(I don't believe it is currently), but these prediction markets..

Yep, ban collection and pruchase of such data for everyone. Exceptions usually mean private companies hop in to offer the "service".

If a malicious website wanted to copy a blog's website to put ads on it, they already can just copy it outside of the browser on their end, which has the "benefit" of preventing the original blog from taking the post down.

CORS also doesn't prevent a popular website with a personal vendetta[0] against a blogger from DDOSing the blog with their visitors, since CORS doesn't block requests from being sent.

For a purely static website, there shouldn't be any risk from enabling CORS.

My banking app works fine on GrapheneOS today, but not every banking app does. If it depends on Google Play Integrity with strong integrity it won't because Google has successfully sold the blatant anti-competitive lie that you need to vendor lock-in your users to their OS to get security on mobile.

Secured credentials work fine, everything works fine except stuff that by design is locked in to Google like Google Pay.
