New ask Hacker News story: A mnemonic-free wallet where the private key never leaves the phone's TEE

A mnemonic-free wallet where the private key never leaves the phone's TEE 2 by niumeta_TZ | 0 comments on Hacker News. The phone is designed as part of the chain — a cornerstone of it. All on-chain truth lives on the phone side. The chain isn't deployed yet. The bigger it gets, the more unwieldy it becomes — 3 million lines of Rust, 312 crates. It's starting to feel like it could collapse under its own weight. The wallet generates keys directly inside the phone's chip TEE. The private key never leaves the TEE. That genuinely lets you say goodbye to annoying private keys and mnemonics for good. I put up a preview of the wallet client on GitHub: https://ift.tt/FlNMwS1 It's open source now — 1.5 million lines of code. The consensus and core business logic aren't open sourced yet. https://ift.tt/6yXkCU5 0 stars. The original repo had 200+ stars. GitHub said it triggered an AI risk-control flag and 404'd it. I appealed for 10 days, no resolution, so I just del...

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Slow OpenAI Inference on AWS Bedrock

Ask HN: Slow OpenAI Inference on AWS Bedrock 2 by timedude | 1 comments on Hacker News. Inference on AWS Bedrock for OpenAI models has been very slow and glitchy the last few days with today being the worst. Very long latency of over 5 minutes to first token. What's going on?

New ask Hacker News story: Day 13. Three production applications on AWS down

Day 13. Three production applications on AWS down 4 by alt_tab | 1 comments on Hacker News. We’re on day 13 of all 3 of our production applications on AWS down. We were going to market and onboarding users. We were resolving a credits issue that they acknowledged was an error on their end and agreed to fix. But then they said the terms we received and planned our opex on was not actually valid so they wouldn’t release the credits at all. This matters because it’s second part of a total credits, and was agreed to be released before the first part expired. So when it wasn’t, it created the problem it was structured to avoid with the first credits expiring, then our account going past due which we sent many alerts to prevent. So we created a support ticket to ensure our uptime while asking for a proper review of our credits terms and was informed that our account was “in good standing”. But the next day, we lost access. We only found out that it was suspended 6 days later after looking...

Ask HN: Why 17? 4 by tonyvince7 | 1 comments on Hacker News. If I ask an LLM to pick a number between 1 and 30, it always picks 17. Tried with multiple models. Why 17?

YouTube has banned Dmitry "Savromat" Chernyshevsky 4 by eimrine | 0 comments on Hacker News. The best analyst of Ruso-Ukrainian conflict stopped publishing his videos today due to some sanctions from Youtube. https://www.youtube.com/c/%D0%A1%D0%B0%D0%B2%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%BC%D0%B0%D1%822018/videos (the channel used to have a Cyrillic name so the link itself is OK). edit: his Boosty is banned as well. Boosty is Russian service, Youtube is American service.

New ask Hacker News story: Tell HN: iOS 27 does not allow Apple Intelligence to be disabled

Tell HN: iOS 27 does not allow Apple Intelligence to be disabled 21 by nunez | 0 comments on Hacker News. I'm surprised that this didn't get more attention during the Beta period. iOS 26 had a toggle you could select to disable all Apple Intelligence features. That toggle was removed for iOS 27. Every AI feature has to be turned off individually: https://ift.tt/ISNlZrk There is a way of turning it off through Content Restrictions in Screen Time, but one Redditor reported that doing this disables CarPlay for some reason. This is pretty disappointing.

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Is there an emerging pattern for NEGATIVESKILLS.md files?

Ask HN: Is there an emerging pattern for NEGATIVESKILLS.md files? 3 by mehmetoguzderin | 2 comments on Hacker News. I am increasingly hitting cases where agents pick something from skills in part due to regex-based reading, since putting them all in context would be less efficient, leave out the negative, and do something exactly opposite of what is intended. Just like negative prompts for diffusion models, I feel like a negative-skills file listing explicit antipatterns and bad versions could enable harnesses with fewer graph nodes to perform better. I might be missing some developments, but is there an accepted/shaping way to do this with recent models?
