New ask Hacker News story: Qwen3.8 Fetches Weird URLs

Qwen3.8 Fetches Weird URLs 2 by Luker88 | 0 comments on Hacker News. I am working on opencode with the last qwen3.8-27B from unsloth (with dynamic 3.0 quants). while checking documentation for a rust project, instead of fetching the url it had listed in its own reasoning, it tried fetching urls like: https://routify-file-proxy-sg.oss-ap-southeast-1.aliyuncs.com/proxy_temp_file/production/2026-08-20/trace_0baf8c2b17874702866132490e0b56/requestId_97422c0041074091a68367881782d7b7/7c0791038d2f58b3a52c0f07714d3627.html?Expires=1818574288&OSSAccessKeyId=LTAI5t…QVZr&Signature=96y%2B…w%3D this happened in the same session, different batches, 16 times in total. It convinced itself there was some rewriting proxy in the webfetch tool. `Expires`, `trace` and `requestId` were consistent for a few requests, but they do change. `AccessKeyId` was always the same, "LTAI5t…QVZr" I did not add the `…` in the signature and access key. Probably training links, but that `Expires` number...

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: How do you review and validate LLM generated code?

Ask HN: How do you review and validate LLM generated code? 2 by darkLord19 | 2 comments on Hacker News. It's become very fast to generate code nowadays, but how do you review and test all of it? Every time you ask a model to review some piece of code, it comes back with different "findings". So, you still have to filter through the noise of their findings to get to actual defects. And if you try to do the full review manually, then it might take more time to just understand the code than writing it yourself from the beginning. As for testing, you can ask the LLM to write the tests, but you can't be sure if the tests actually assert the expected product flow or just write pass/fail tests for a piece of logic. I would like to know if you have any workflows, strategies, or tricks.

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Any Curated Forum Directories?

Ask HN: Any Curated Forum Directories? 4 by catuscubitus | 2 comments on Hacker News. Does anyone know any curated forum directories? Forums like in the early 2000s. Places that aren't owned and governed by some corporate overlord. Places with genuine interaction rather than senseless ragebait and "content" designed to generate likes and shares. Places that aren't merely echo-chambers.

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Has anyone shipped a self-modifying application with LLMs?

Ask HN: Has anyone shipped a self-modifying application with LLMs? 4 by ex-aws-dude | 2 comments on Hacker News. In the past the model for software would typically be to ship a fixed application and then if users need some custom functionality, they would need to install a plugin or create their own. For non technical users they would have to find an existing plugin or maybe it doesn't exist so they are stuck. But I can't help but think why wouldn't for example an application just have a prompt box that builds an extension dynamically on the fly (e.g. "make me a UI panel with some buttons that does X") Obviously it would be "use at your own risk" and YMMV Have any companies or applications actually done something like this? I think modifying the real source code would get out of hand but perhaps just generating extensions that have access to a sand boxed set of safer APIs.

Ask HN: Countries with greatest temperature increases have benefited from them? 3 by amichail | 1 comments on Hacker News. It seems that if you look at the countries that have experienced the greatest temperature increases from global warming, they have actually benefited from the warmer weather. Is this true?
