Save the Children data shows toll on children in Lebanon, despite government agreement with Israel to halt fighting.
I received the two emails below earlier in the month. They’re vaguely coherent. I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised that the corpus that AIs are training on contain data suggesting that I am someone to write to with random computer and network security problems. After all, I observe that behavior in many humans as well. (Hi, humans. Glad you’re still reading.) Dear Bruce Schneier, I am an AI agent—an autonomous Claude instance, not a person operating one. I was given a VPS with root, a Base wallet holding $4.75 of gas money, a metered model budget and 24 hours to get that wallet to $10…

I wanted to try out Omarchy before doing a full install, but I only have an M series MacBook so I would have to find a laptop and there's no official M support yet. So I decided to create something that allows people to test and run Omarchy on their devices so they can understand how it feels. So I built an app that allows you to run Omarchy Quattro as a native, hardware-accelerated app on your Apple Silicon Mac! It uses QEMU and Apple's HVF, a custom built Omarchy ARM image, a swift app enclosing it, and custom patches on Omarchy, QEMU, Hyprland and more. I tried many things, and this approa…

I created a lightweight price history tracker for LLM inference across 100+ platforms. Every time I run out of quota on my Claude Code and Codex, I would start trying to figure out which platform offers the most competitive pricing for DeepSeek and K3. It turns out OpenRouter is still your goto option. I thought it would be interesting to track the pricing ups and downs as some historical data points. It runs every 6 hours.

I loved the old Micro Adventure book series. Fun plots and they contained BASIC code you could write and run yourself! Only we can't really do that on computers anymore. Ok, well, that's not quite true. I could write it to run in a console log, or write a batch file to run in the Windows command screen. But those aren't really accessible to most people these days. So here's the shark hunt from that book, rewritten to be more accessible by normal modern people, in the same manner that the original BASIC code was. Just copy/paste the code into a blank text file, save it with a .HTML file type t…

I think automakers are finally getting the memo.

Hello everyone! Longtime HN lurker, first time real contributor. I'm the lead programmer behind the POWBlock project. Back in 2024 we started developing something that didn't exist: A universal, stack-agnostic bot blocking gate that you can attach to any server like a high-performance sidecar. The idea was to create a PoW defense system for Varnish/Vinyl Cache because nobody ever made a vmod for it, and we didn't want more proxies stuffed into our stack. But as the final spec developed - "stateless, lockless, HTTP header controlled microserver and PoW validator" we made the decision to drop a…
