I made a strategy game where you play the US or China through the AI race, 2026 to 2030, sixteen quarterly turns in the browser. One run takes about half an hour. At the start, the game seals two dice you never get to see. Inside: how hard alignment really is, and how fast takeoff compounds. You get eval reports, but only as ranges, and they flatter you most exactly when your systems are least aligned. At the end you get a debrief which shows what your evals said each quarter and also what was a

MicroPython (lexer, compiler and VM) on the SNES: 3.58 MHz 65816, 56 KB Python heap, 16-bit int. The REPL runs right inside the post via EmulatorJS and also works on real hardware via flashcart. I did this as a benchmark for Claude Fable. When the export ban hit, switching to Opus got the project stuck for three weeks; Fable came back and found the real bug in ninety minutes. Along the way: 23 compiler bugs and 4 MicroPython bugs, each root-caused with a minimal reproducer and filed upstream. If

A streaming box should not need a threat model. Neither should a username field, a demo repo, a reset flow, or a browser permission prompt. That is the irritating part this week: the risky pieces were ordinary. Home devices became a routing cover. Clean code pulled dirt from a dependency. Identity shortcuts aged badly. AI systems trusted the wrong instructions. Same soft spot throughout: trust

One thing I expected from the AI era was a decrease in emotional attachment to code reviews. My assumption was that AI-generated code would make reviews easier because criticism of the code wouldn't feel like criticism of the author. Instead, I've repeatedly seen people strongly defend AI generated code, and sometimes even defend AI explanations that are demonstrably incorrect. Is anyone else seeing this? If so, what do you think is driving it? How are you handling it within your team? Also, has

Is this the beginning of a new world?

Nvidia's next AI server rack, Kyber NVL144, has been delayed more than a year to 2028 because of circuit board manufacturing problems, according to analyst firm SemiAnalysis. Asian suppliers lost up to double-digit percentages in market value. The more powerful Rubin Ultra variant has also been canceled. The setbacks could give AMD and Google an opening to compete.

I hear more and more from people in companies of all sorts, are building internal tools/replacements of SaSS businesses.

I'm looking for this myself but figured it's good to have an actual discussion about this. I'm pretty new to the benchmarking side of LLMs. For example, I looked at eyeballvull [1]. It seems promising but I don't see wide support for example. I respect the author for still committing. A benchmark where an agent scans a repo in full is what I'm looking for. But then I also wondered: maybe there are others out there that I haven't been aware of yet. And, at the risk of potentially being flooded, f

Building a shortlist for an AI SOC evaluation can be tough. SIEM, SOAR, and pureplay AI SOC vendors are all saying the same thing. But behind the identical label sit very different products, from chat assistants bolted onto a legacy SIEM to agent platforms that run detection, triage, investigation, and response on their own data foundation. Whether a platform will materially change outcomes for

France is accelerating its transition to post-quantum encryption: France’s cybersecurity agency ANSSI said on Tuesday it would stop certifying security products that lack quantum-resistant encryption, a move that will force government bodies and critical operators to shift away from older systems.

Hi HN! I've been spending the past month on PAI, a Linux-esque harness for a personal assistant AI for your Mac. Instead of giving a chatbot a bunch of tools, I wanted to just drop the LLM into a terminal and see how it'd fare. I've been using it to manage my calendar, 5+ email accounts, and engaging with / responding to people in a timely manner (casus belli for this entire project). After seeing how other always-on assistants were designed, I thought the Unix / Linux philosophy of system desig
