| VCamper: use LLMs to spot security fixes before CVE publication
|
| Once a patch for a security vulnerability is public, the patch
| itself can reveal the vulnerability before the CVE is published.
| VCamper uses a staged LLM pipeline to analyze a Git commit range
| and flag likely vulnerability patches, even when they look like
| routine changes.
|
| It's still a proof of concept, but on known cases like curl
| CVE-2025-0725 it got close to the published root cause from the
| patch alone.
|
| This matters because LLMs could make it much harder to keep
| security fixes quiet: once the patch is public, the bug may be
| recoverable almost immediately. Quietly shipping a fix and hoping
| it stays under the radar may stop being a reliable strategy.

| That's why I built Caliper (http://getcaliper.dev). It's a system

| run pre-commit and pre-merge.
|
| Early users love it, and the data demonstrates the need - 40% of
| agent turns produce code that violates a project's own
| conventions (as defined in CLAUDE.md). Caliper catches those
| violations immediately and gets the model to make corrections
| before small issues become costly to unwind.
|
| Still very early, and all feedback is welcome!

| I want to show how I liberate poorly aligned, pixelated PDF image

|
| I intend demonstrate how I built a transcription pipeline in
| Emacs Lisp using tools such as yt-dlp and patreon-dl to grab
| Latin-language audio content from the Internet, transcode the
| audio with ffmpeg, do Voice Activity Detection and chunking in
| Python with Silero, load the chunks into Gemini's context window,
| and send it off for transcription and macronization, gather
| forced-alignment data using local a local wav2vec2-latin model,
| and finally add word-level linguistic analysis (POS, morphology,
| lemmas) using a local Stanza model trained on the Classical
| corpus.
|
| This all gets saved to an an XML file which is loaded into BaseX
| along with some metadata. I'll then demonstrate some Emacs Lisp
| code which pulls it into an Org-mode based transcription buffer
| and minor-mode for reading and study, where I can play audio of
| any given Latin word, sentence, or paragraph, thanks to the
| forced-alignment and linguistic analysis data being stored in
| hidden text properties when the data was fetched from the
| database.
|
| Lastly, I'd like to explore how to leverage these tools to

|
| The idea: describe any problem in plain language (voice or text),

| people, steps, timeline, and agents to get it done. It's a 5-step
| wizard: Define Problem - Codify Solution - Setup Program -
| Execute Program - Verify Outcome.
|
| It runs across 50+ domains -- codify.healthcare (EMR backend),
| codify.education (LMS backend), codify.finance, codify.careers
| (HRM backend), codify.law, plus 13 city domains (codify.nyc,
| codify.miami, codify.london, codify.tokyo, etc.). Each domain
| tailors the AI assessment and program output to that sector.
|
| The platform is Project20x -- think of it as the infrastructure
| layer. If Codify is the verb ("codify your healthcare problem
| into a care program"), Project20x is the operating system that
| runs it all: multi-tenant governance, AI agent orchestration, and
| domain-specific sys-cores for healthcare, education, city
| services, etc.
|
| Every US federal agency and state-level department has a
| subdomain -- ed.usa.project20x.com (Dept of Education),
| doj.usa.project20x.com, hhs.usa.project20x.com, etc. -- with AI
| agents representing each agency's mandate. Same structure at the
| state level.
|
| The political side: Project20x hosts policy management for both
| parties -- dnc.project20x.com and rnc.project20x.com -- where
| legislative intent gets codified into executable governance
| through a 10-step policy lifecycle. Right now I'm building out
| the multi-agent environment so agency agents can negotiate with
| each other, make deals, and send policy proposals up to the HITL
| (human-in-the-loop) politician for approval. Each elected
| official has a profile (e.g. https://project20x.com/u/donald-
| trump) where constituents can engage and where policy proposals
| land for review.
|
| The name is a nod to structured policy frameworks, but the goal

| what requires human input just by looking at the board. You can
| ask it to fetch the comments on the pull request you raised, and

| My wife and I do this part together:
|
| - Think of a theme

| - Think of words related to that theme, ideally with a second

|
| - Think of clues for those words

|
| - Yeah there's a distinction between asymmetric and symmetric

| make a shared private key which is then used in ensuing
| symmetrically encoded communications. Those asymmetric
| schemes are broadly vulnerable to quantum based attacks,
| hence the need to upgrade to 'post quantum encryption
| schemes' (PQS). PQS approaches have been developed and are
| slowly being rolled out, even though it's unclear when the
| threat of quantum-enabled cracking will be real.
|
| - Yes, I cover this extensively. This actually relates to
| your last question as well, since error depends in part on
| what kind of qubit platform you're working with. A
| superconducting qubit naturally 'decoheres' (loses its unique
| state) over time, with some sort of semipredictable rate of
| decoherence, whereas photonic qubits sometimes just get lost!
| All platforms have some sort of built in error due to the
| fact that you are applying essentially analog gates to them,
| and these gates have some imprecision that may build up over
| millions of operations. I'd characterize the challenges as A)
| reducing error, and B) correcting the errors that inevitably

|
| - This was one of my sticking points too. The short answer is

| The goal is to make every recipe foolproof on the first try,
| similar to when you walk into a restaurant and just pick what you
| want to eat without thinking about the details. The goal is to
| have the same experience, just pick what you want to eat, with
| recipes that tells you exactly what to do with no magic involved.
|
| Technically it is probably very different from other recipe apps.
| The database is a huge graph that captures the relations between
| ingredients and processes. Imagine 'raw potato'->'peeled
| potato'->'boiled potato'->'mashed potato'. It is all the same
| ingredients but different processing. The lines between the nodes
| define the process and the nodes are physical things. Recipes are
| defined as subsets of the graph. The graph can also wrap around
| into itself, which is apparently needed to properly define some
| European dishes in this system. The graph also has multiple
| layers to capture different relationships that are not process
| related.
|
| Why was it designed it in this way? Because food/cooking is
| complex to define. This design is the only way I have found that
| can capture enough of these complex relationships that the
| computer can also 'understand' what is going on.
|
| My favourite thing about this is that each recipe is strictly
| defined in the graph. If the recipe skips a step, or something is
| undefined, the computer knows that the recipe is incomplete. It
| won't ask you to do 10 things at the same time and then have
| something magically appear out of nowhere. It is like compile
| time checking but for recipes.
|
| It also enables some other superpowers, for example: * Exclude
| meat part of the graph = vegetarian. Same thing works with
| allergies. * Include meat part of graph = only show me recipes
| that contain meat. * Recursive search: search for 'potato' and
| the computer will know that french fries are made from potato. It
| can therefore tell you that you could make the hamburger meal,
| but you will need to complete the french fries recipe first,
| which should take 60 minutes. * Adjustable recipe difficulty
| (experimental): It knows which steps can be done in parallell,
| and which can't based on how the nodes connect. A beginner can
| get a slower paced recipe with breathing room between steps,
| while someone more experienced can do a faster pace and do more
| things in parallell.
|
| If I knew what it would take to build this, I would never have

| (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46344573). We've had an

|
| At the moment working on the 3rd party development tools so in

|
| If you're an interested game dev that would like to beta test the
| dev tools, hit me up either here, via Discord (link available
| from https://gamingcouch.com) or by emailing me at
| gc[dot]community[at]gamingcouch[dot]com!
|
| The TL;DR of Gaming Couch:
|
| - Currently in free Early Access with 18 competitive mini-games.
|
| - Players use their mobile phones as controllers (you can use
| game pads as well!)
|
| - Everything is completely web-based, no downloads or installs
| are necessary to play
|
| - All games support up to 8 players at a time and are action
| based, with quick ~one minute rounds to keep a good pace. This
| means there are no language based trivia or asynchronous games!

|
| This is not an AI search-based photo library. You cannot even

| Workers connect to the orchestration server and get assigned work
| - calls to other tasks get intercepted and then re-scheduled by
| the server onto (potentially different) workers. Tasks are
| executed in pre-warmed, isolated processes, with low latency.
|
| Beyond standard features (retries, caching, timeouts - enabled

| features - like suspense (where a task can choose to go to sleep
| and get restarted when a result it depends on becomes available),
| memoisation (where steps within a run are aggressively cached so
| that you can re-run steps in a workflow without re-running
| upstream steps), and the ability to re-run a step in a different
| workspaces (with updated code, or in a different environment).
|
| It turns out this works great for implementing agentic systems -

|
| I'm trying to make sure it's easy to try out - there's a self-

| I always see these threads and think I'm not working on anything,

| right now, both heavily AI supported:
|
| Simracing trainer.
|
| I love simracing, I'm moderately competitive and want to improve,
| and I like to be efficient with my practice. So having access to
| and using a lot of telemetry, I noticed that the "turn a few
| laps, load telemetry, compare against reference lap, try again"
| is not as efficient as it could be.
|
| Also a lot of my telemetry analysis is very rote and "rules
| based": Look at the biggest laptime delta jump against reference,
| try to determine the cause among a few usual suspects".
|
| So I have started experimenting with a system that reads the
| iRacing telemetry in real time, and compares against the
| reference telemetry live, finding the biggest delta jumps, and
| trying to find the root cause of the time loss using an
| increasingly sophisticated GOFAI rule and pattern matching
| system. Then this report is fed to a cheap LLM call to be
| condensed into clear advice, and the result goes to the free
| Microsoft TTS API. So I get instant feedback of where I'm slow
| and maybe even why.
|
| So far I fear it's mostly making me faster from all the test laps
| involved more than the advice itself, but when it clicks it does
| feel magical and really help.
|
| But sometimes I feel like I'm just speedrunning the collapse of
| 70s AI, as it feels a bit too brittle and situational.
|
| I also have added additional tools for tracking improvement
| across sessions, finding statistically problematic corners (where
| am I plain bad?, where am I inconsistent?) or even training my
| muscle memory by tracing fast driver brake traces using my pedal.
|
| Yay compiler: The other ongoing thing is a clean room
| reimplementation of Jon Blow's Jai. I've been curious about the
| language for years, but it's a closed beta and for some reason
| I've never felt about asking Jon to get into it. I'm not really a
| game dev so I wouldn't even know what to put in the request.
|
| So now I have 100k+ lines of Rust that can compile a very
| significant subset of the publicly available Jai source code. I
| just used various LLMs to condense the public information about
| the language and come up with a dev plan and started chipping at
| it. Once I had something in a kind of working state I started
| with the Way to Jai big tutorial and make sure every example
| there compiles and works as intended, fixing errors or missing
| features one by one.
|
| I mostly use Claude Code or Codex, but sometimes what I do is
| having them guide me into the new feature and doing the edits
| myself while they explain, so I get to know how things really
| work under the hood.
|
| It's a silly pointless project, but for some reason I find very
| satisfying watching it compile the examples.

| building out the repos for Terraform and SaltSack and of course
| speeding up Django development.
|
| Users are graded pre-flop based on the covered pre-flop scenarios
| (two-ways only for now). Post-flop users are graded on a residual
| MLP PyTorch model. We have built an in-house solver in Rust using
| the discontented CFR++ algorithm. The PyTorch model approximates
| GTO play post-flop (again only two-ways currently) based on
| training data with raises, EV, and realistic ranges for OOP and
| IP players. Because the post-flop decisions are based on a model
| that will always be a work in progress I refer to these decisions
| as GTOA (or "GTO Approximate").
|
| Version 8 of the PyTorch model is the first one that I am happy

| features. This may sound weird, but I think this is a real
| challenging and good goal to follow, enabling users more than
| optimizing for the highest payer. I thought about having a tool
| for a few $/EUR per user per month where others charge 10x.
|
| So I created two nice pieces out of that, which would have been
| impossible in the past due to time constraints and got massively
| unlocked through claude code: - a
| frontend/javascript only forms library that supports all the
| rendering, form schema input, data output, validation and
| formula/conditional logic - a multi-tenant SaaS product,
| that is a single golang binary and stores in sqlite, easily self-
| hostable but I can also operate it as a European SaaS (and in
| other regions) where needed
|
| This is also a test run in terms of tech stacks and trying new
| things I wanted to try for long time. It's mostly evening or
| weekend coded due to my regular day job, but made such incredible
| fun. The AI coding part really provided me the time to work on
| the product, polishing, UX and worry less about the "work" part
| of coding. My experience seems to help a lot to gain leverage and
| increase the fun factor and complete immersion into coding, that
| I kind of almost lost in the past.
|
| So I was trying: - pocketbase - really
| running something bigger with much more data off of sqlite
| (primarily used it for smaller stuff in the past) - real
| focus on self-host-ability, keeping dependencies minimal and
| extremely simple (which also helps claude) - trying other
| tools for security scanning, verification, testing, security
| analysis, WAF,... than I use at work, pretty much playing around
| with tech as much as I can to see new and different stuff :-)

|

|
| Styleframe is built as a transpiler-first system. You write your
| design tokens, selectors, utilities, and recipes in TypeScript,
| and Styleframe tokenizes everything into an internal
| representation. From there, the transpiler generates dual
| outputs:
|
| - CSS output: variables, selectors, utilities, themes, keyframes
|
| - TypeScript output: typed recipe functions with full IDE
| autocomplete (with an optional Runtime)
|
| This architecture means you can have complete control over
| customizing how your system is output. You could even use the
| generated tokens to render documentation for your design system
| components. The output code can be integrated with any headless
| UI Components Library, or with your own custom components.
|
| Fun fact: I've reimplemented the entirety of TailwindCSS using
| Styleframe's utility and modifier tokens. Not only that, but I've
| also built a scanner which picks up your CSS Classes from your
| markup. It's basically Tailwind, but 100% configurable (even
| utility class format can be changed), and is always based on your
| design tokens.

| https://github.com/httpstate/httpstate
|
| A minimal, reactive, real-time state layer over HTTP. Pick a
| UUID, read/write <=128 bytes, and instantly sync data across
| apps, devices, or services. Each state is addressed by a UUID
| [1]. You read/write it via a simple GET/POST API, or use one of
| the client libraries (8 languages and counting) for real-time
| updates. It is open source with a permissive license.
|
| Some design premises:
|
| * It should be as easy as possible to use. One line of code (ok,
| two if you count the import line).
|
| * Hard limit: max. 128 bytes state size. This forces small, fast
| updates. HTTPState is not meant to be a storage layer but a fast,
| real-time communication layer for things like events, sensors,
| UI/UX updates.
|
| * Data is open, to re-usability and collective applications. You
| can see some featured data streams on the site, if you like one,
| you can use it on your app in like 1 minute.
|
| Use cases (but not limited to, lol):
|
| * Add pub/sub-style communication to your apps, quickly and
| easily.
|
| * Stream sensor data to a web/mobile UI (or any of the client's
| implementations).
|
| * Persist state across multiple runs of your app through time.
|
| * Sync state across multiple app instances.
|
| Some undocumented integrations (will land soon):
|
| * You can update a state via an SMS message.
|
| * You can update a state via an email.
|
| * You can update a state by setting an HTML form's action to
| httpstate.com/UUID, so that it works on "noscript" environments.
|
| * CAS-style optimistic concurrency control (w/ atomic operations)
| via headers on the request.
|
| * There is an iOS client that allows you to easily build widgets
| with the states you choose.
|
| Roadmap:
|
| * Add "API Keys" so you're the only one who can read/write to the
| UUID you pick.
|
| * C/C++ and MicroPython clients for embedded devices.
|
| * A postgreSQL extension to bind states to tables.
|
| How can you help?
|
| * Just reach out if you want to adopt one of the clients and/or
| want to write a new one in a language/platform you'd like to see.
|
| * If you know how to code Android apps, I'd like to have the same
| widgets feature I have on iOS but on Android.
|
| * Publish some data and send me an email so I can add it to the
| featured list! (This will be automated eventually, I just haven't
| figured out in such way that is not abused).
|
| * Comments and suggestions always welcome!
|
| 1: You can write it without the dashes, but it has to be a UUID

|
| I've also noticed a high representation of care-home providers

| it's unexplained (to me) for now. Possibly it's related to a
| higher proportion of workers on zero-hours contracts.
|
