Show HN: Ten_cubed – Artificially restricted social graphhttps://tencubed.dev

Just wanted to share an idea I've had for a while for creating social networks that are useful but don't lead to eventual enshittification. The idea is simple: - Each user gets 10 connections - User networks go out to MAX 3rd degree connections - Users can set their max network preference (1st, 2nd or 3rd degree) This leads to networks that have a maximum 1,110 theoretical connections. It leads to all sorts of fun side-effects, like coveting 1st degree connections and volatile networks that swell and contract as connections change. Let me know your thoughts!

Show HN: Use GLM-5.3 in Cursor today via tokengo APIhttps://www.tokengo.com

Hi HN, Hearing a lot of buzz around GLM-5.3, which I expect to be the best open-source coding model with the weights dropping soon, I wanted to test it where I actually do my work. I just mapped GLM-5.3 to TokenGo so I could swap out the base URL and use it directly in my IDE. The backend handles the edge routing via Cloudflare to keep latency low, critical when you're waiting for inline code completions. If you want to try GLM-5.3 (or glm-5.3-flash) in your own workflow, here is the setup. For Cursor: Go to Settings > Models. Add your API key in the OpenAI API Key field. Toggle "Override Ope…
