The next round of talks between Israel and Lebanon, mediated by the US, has been postponed.
Hey HN, In light of the concerns regarding AI safety, I created a website to track all known cases of misalignment. I will keep this up to date as more cases emerge. Anyone is encouraged to submit a report (anonymous or otherwise). Frontier labs should make all misalignment data public. Citizens have a right to transparency, especially when public policy decisions are being made. Let's all get aligned on the misalignment so we can make data-driven decisions in a democratic fashion. - Alex Wormuth Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49676562 Points: 1 # Comments: 0

I wanted to re-play SimTower but found it too difficult to get running through emulation. Instead, I worked for 6 months with Claude Code on a complete rewrite, replicating all the functionality from the a Ghidra decompilation of the binary, am AI-generated summary of the original source code and my memory of the gameplay. Then deployed it to the web as WASM. I wanted the original feel of the game, so didn't create new art. Instead, you load an original binary you provide, and the on-page code parses it and pulls out the original assets. I didn't look at a single line of code Claude wrote, bu…

My wife and I have long been fans of audio-only games. On Google Assistant and Alexa we played Animal of the Day, Song Quiz, Castle Master, and many others. Drifting into sleep inside these adventures became our tradition – no screens, just our imaginations. Then Google shut the games down, and Alexa's constant upselling took the fun out of what was left. We kept hoping they'd come back. They didn't. Then one day we tried ChatGPT's new voice mode. We described the kind of game we wanted, and within minutes it improvised something that felt like ours. No sound effects, a bit unpredictable, b…

Hey y’all! Back in 2019, inspired by my love of board games and what’s possible with digital games, I created a little strategy game built around simultaneous moves and shifting pressure across a grid. I thought there was a really interesting game hiding in there, but eventually stopped digging as life happened. Work, pandemic, kid, the usual... Then all of this AI nonsense pulled me back in and made me want to see how far I could run with the original idea. That turned into Ember, which somehow also became my first app ever on the App Store and Google Play. I haven’t had this much fun…

Hi HN! A few friends and I built EarthToPixels, a project that turns real-world cities into explorable pixel-art maps. We fine-tuned an open-source Qwen image model and built a pipeline that takes aerial imagery, generates pixel-art tiles, and keeps neighboring generations visually continuous so they can be stitched into a large map. We built the pipeline to work with arbitrary coordinates rather than a specific city. For the first complete render, we chose our hometown: João Pessoa, Brazil. You can explore it here: https://earthtopixels.com/ Would love to hear what you think, especially abo…

In 2025, I [the speaker] found and disclosed a bunch of vulnerabilities in GPG, the most used PGP implementation, and held a talk at 39c3 about it. Some of the bugs ended up getting fixed. This talk describes the adventure and aftermath of getting there, shows some novel ones, and talks about the state of security in 2026. May contain zero-days =) Until May 2025, I liked PGP, and the GNU Privacy Guard. I poked at it in my free time a lot. One day, that suddenly changed, when I flew too close to the sun and ended up uncovering a vulnerability that allows you to easily spoof a PGP signature whe…

Interactive theorem provers play increasingly important roles in the programming languages and mathematics communities, resulting in a large body of mechanized proofs that bear witness to mathematical knowledge. The ideal promise of accumulating these artifacts is that they allow us to preserve that knowledge across time into future generations and across intellectual silos. However, by virtue of being software, mechanized proofs are at risk of breaking as they age, hindering reproduction (e.g. of the proof’s correctness), inspection, and reuse. How can we future-proof mechanized proofs? In…

Hi HN, I just hit a major milestone on my side project. I work a demanding day job, so I built a platform where Stockfish plays continuous self-play (2s/move to keep server load manageable) to analyze asymmetrical chess variants. In Chess960v2, White and Black independently choose any of the 960 valid setups, resulting in 921,600 possible starting combinations. I'm running a massive round-robin tournament (960 rounds total, where each setup plays against every other setup), and 600 out of 960 rounds have been completed. The goal is to mathematically find which combinations are genuinely balan…
