President Trump said he was rejecting an Iranian plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The Iranian proposal is similar to a memorandum of understanding agreed upon by the U.S. and Iran back in June.

Hi HN! I built this to make unblocking apps on your phone a lot harder. You add a physical key, then put it out of reach or give it to a friend, so unblocking becomes a real hassle. I started out wanting to build software around hardware security keys. My thinking was that they belong in high stakes moments, where proving it's really you matters the most. One of those scenarios is gambling/unblocking apps on your phone. A hardware key is a physical thing you have to go find, plug in, and tap. That makes it a good fit for moments where the user isn't 100% sure they want to unblock something. G…

I am always working well past the normal work hours. Sometimes even past midnight. Then one day I thought, what if I could have something to keep me accountable for doing this? So I built a small app that will call me out when I break my downtime. You set a Curfew in the app (Curfew must start between 8:00 PM and 10:00 PM). If a dev app (editor, terminal, etc.) is used on your computer after the set curfew, a countdown starts. If you close the app before the timer runs out, you are safe. If you keep working, you get "caught". Your streak is now broken, and you will be posted on the Wall, on t…

Abstract: AI agents pose significant risks as they are granted increasing autonomy. A commonly proposed solution is human oversight and keeping a ''human in the loop'', but this is not a simple solution: Not only do current approaches to AI agent design impede effective human oversight, but the cognitive capacities required for it are also themselves degraded by extended use of AI systems. This position paper argues that current approaches to the development and deployment of AI agent systems do not support effective human oversight -- they contribute to its degradation. To address this, a to…

Hey guys. Last year I switched to nvim-orgmode after trying many different organization systems. I love how it's a standard local plaintext file format that encourages forward motion. It really has helped me become substantially more productive at work. Although at one point I was looking at my apple calendar, and really wished my org agendas were visualized there, especially monthly views. Although there seemed to be caldav exporters etc, I wanted to just open a local desktop app that reads my org folder directly, and show my month. This was the original idea behind OrbitalNote. It does this…

Deepseek generated Blender harness in 7USD. I wanted to remake my 6DoF spaceship flying prototype. What I did not want to do was model the spaceship. Manually. In Blender. So instead of spending a month learning to model, I built a Copilot inside Blender in a day. Which is the same thing, except I still cannot model. A chat panel in the 3D viewport sidebar. I type a sentence. The model writes Python, and it runs against my actual scene, the file open on screen, not a copy that some other process has to keep in sync. Then I sat down and had a conversation with my own addon. Five sentences: 1.…

Malbolge was the first programming language I ever tried. Cocytus is my tribute to it (with engineering inside). It was named after 9th circle of Dante’s Hell, and its 4 zones are semantics, i.e in Judecca every memory address has an access budget and when it runs out, its freezes. Also the compiler is made in Cocytus and compiles itself until output is byte to byte identical across 3 stages. Generally useless in purpose. Happy to answer your questions!

This approach uses text embeddings + logistic regression On Banking77, which contains 77 categories of banking support questions, I get 94.25% using bge-large-en-v1.5 for embeddings, and 93.28% with all-MiniLM-L6-v2 (only the classifier gets trained, the embeddings model stays unchanged).

I love making diagrams to help understand, plan, etc. However, the options are (A) auto-placement languages like Mermaid or Graphviz (which don't let me decide how the diagram looks), or (B) software like Draw.io which are powerful but are very time consuming (and inefficient for agents to manipulate). I wanted to have the benefits of both, where you can define a diagram in a diagram language, but also retain a high degree of control over what the diagram looks like. I also wanted this to work well for humans and agents. On the Github link, there's a playground where you can try it out withou…

Hey I've been working for about 8 years on a new kind of Trading Card Game (TCG) that doesn't rely on drawing cards, shuffling and the inherent randomness to those kinds of games. It's already developed and fully working - playable through a browser (mobile/tablet/desktop responsive) and I'm now running a campaign in gamefound.com to open-source the whole thing. It sits perhaps between a variant of chess - in the sense that you always have access to all your "cards" - and a traditional TCG - in the sense that it's still an imperfect-information game, as you don't know what your opponent has.…

I am a product manager, and in the last few months I got laid off, coupled with a disruptive job market. Due to this, I used to scroll short-form content a lot; I was a slave to it, and anything I picked to read had me going back to scrolling. This became a reading comprehension problem; my attention span was clearly in decline; I found that a lot of people were also not able to read without an assist like a physical book or an ebook, especially for readers with ADHD/Dyslexia - this problem was hard-hitting. So I built Hushbook- a read-along audiobook app that helps you read while you listen.…
