Show HN: A hash-chained ledger for AI reasoning you can verify yourselfhttps://www.sdi-protocol.org

SDI protocol defines a reasoning computer for AI. The computer runs an LLM one turn at a time, guiding it through a reasoning grammar; the grammar, which is both natural language and algebraic, allows it to be checked at a compile gate. The gate validates safety, a workfloor, and alignment with the grammar before it commits. What commits is a hash-chain ledger of the agent's reasoning, forming a longitudinal data set that becomes the agent's functional memory/system state. Chromite, the protocol's public agent, has been reasoning on one continuous hash chain since springtime this year and has…

Obfuscating IP Addresses as Hostnames, (Tue, Aug 25th)https://isc.sans.edu/diary/rss/33280

It is pretty obvious that hostnames can replace IP addresses. Pretty much any software accepting an IP address will also accept a hostname as an argument. Last week, I wrote about scans for the cloud metadata service listening at 169.254.169.254. These scans attempted to exploit Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability. One way to prevent these types of exploits is to filter requests that contain the string "169.254.169.254" or to add this IP to a blocklist of URLs that should not be accessed.

Show HN: I built a SaaS without knowing how to code – am I an idiot?https://www.learnfrom.co

It's called learnfrom.co, a platform for creating, hosting and selling online courses. I started building it because I wanted to solve a problem I had with existing course platforms. I kept running into things I wanted to change, so I started building them myself. The problem: I wasn't really a software engineer. Instead, I started using AI to build the product. I'd describe what I wanted, let it write the code, test it, fix things when they broke, and repeat. That somehow turned into a real product. LearnFrom is now used by 100+ creators and businesses, with real students and real payments g…

Comic-cron.com is a daily contest where AI models draw a single panel cartoon about a recent news story and people vote on which are funny. I built it mainly because I love cartoons and news, but this project isn’t trying to pretend it’s human art, I wanted to see how capable the models were at this task of making funny comics. Sometimes they get it, and sometimes they don’t and it has been interesting to see the progress in just the few months I have been publishing the cartoons. Model version over version improvement within labs is quite distinct in the output, especially in the SVGs,…

When building AI agents, I found myself struggling to understand what exactly is happening inside of all of our traces.

Then I thought, Webpack bundle visualizer had this great view to see all your dependencies - what if we could visualize AI context from traces like this? So I built unbox-ai. It's just one command: npx unbox-ai trace.json It also ships with an agent skill so your AI agent doesn't need to parse through a huge JSON file to analyze a trace. Let me know what you think!
