Ask HN: How does your help desk verify someone before resetting MFA? 3 by ovudus | 0 comments on Hacker News. Seeing more breaches start with a convincing call to the help desk. Curious what actually works for remote staff and contractors, where nobody can vouch for the caller.

Toyota Releases Video of Wheelchair-Alternative Mobility Concepts in Action 5 by Mobius01 | 1 comments on Hacker News. This is something I’ve been hoping to see more now that robotics is advancing at a decent clip. Edit - no idea why Octal omitted the URL: https://ift.tt/odOR2Tj

AMA – "Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within", milestone in CGI, is 25 years old 4 by kaveh808 | 2 comments on Hacker News. It might be fun to reflect on the creation of [0] 25 years ago. The project was the first attempt at producing and entire feature film with "photorealistic" human characters using CG. I was R&D lead on the project, and it has been fun to see how the technology has evolved over the years. Happy to do my best to answer any questions people may have. [0] https://ift.tt/F1htg2q

Tell HN: 2x PHP RCE CVEs with CVSS 10.0 Incoming 196 by petecooper | 30 comments on Hacker News. A reliable source has indicated an announcement is scheduled for 22 October 2026 at 18:00 CEST regarding 2x PHP RCEs with a CVSS score of 10.0. I have no evidence beyond "source: trust me, bro", but if you're running PHP in production, be ready to update as a priority. These CVEs reportedly relate to remote code execution in all affected PHP versions from PHP 5 onwards. These are the two reserved CVEs for the reported upcoming announcement: CVE-2026-109618 CVE-2026-109619

Ask HN: Is Wikipedia going to be obsolete soon? 2 by piratesAndSons | 2 comments on Hacker News. Recently they began showing a download-our-app ad at the top of the site, and it made me wonder: is the website going away soon? Wikipedia was a fixture of the Web 2.0 era, but now websites are changing. Chatbots are taking massive traffic from websites. Young people don’t like reading text; they prefer watching videos and listening to podcasts. Websites are seen as the old way of doing things, which is why Wikipedia has begun building its own app, since Gen Z is trending this way.

AGI-S – an AI platform I'm building 2 by smitsjoshi | 1 comments on Hacker News.

Ask HN: Bring-your-own-AI hardware 2 by flying_sheep | 0 comments on Hacker News. Wondering if you guys find any interesting bring-your-own AI hardware. Due to recent development in AI, people can easily develop their own "brain" for any hardware. I am curious to find out those hardware that are sold without software, or can be easily modify.

Tell HN: I picked up knitting while waiting for my AI agent to complete 4 by amelius | 0 comments on Hacker News. Any new hobbies you are willing to share that AI made you start?

MiniMax M3.1 Flash: Redefining Agent Performance and Cost 6 by minimaxir | 0 comments on Hacker News. https://ift.tt/s0CEqlT The domain appears to be shadowbanned on Hacker News and this is a major model release that multiple people have tried to submit, so working around that.

Ask HN: How to deal with shipping AI-written code you don't understand? 3 by rzk | 9 comments on Hacker News. I saw this LinkedIn post from a Meta engineer and it resonated with me: https://ift.tt/LQdziJw > I'm an engineer at Meta and I never felt this uncomfortable doing my job. I'm writing code these days and it all feels like a black box. This new standard of shipping with AI is moving so fast that if we're going to spend our time checking each line of code, it's going to take forever. That means you can end up with systems you've built where you don't truly understand how all the code works. You understand the high level, but not every detail. And maybe this is becoming the new standard. It goes against every instinct of being a software engineer. I'm used to understanding what I'm building. Now I'm trying to figure out how much I need to understand before I'm comfortable moving forward. Are other engineers feeling this too? How are...

Best way to get SMS verification codes without using your own number? 2 by guler26 | 1 comments on Hacker News.

Ask HN: What Got You into Rust? 2 by cloaky233 | 3 comments on Hacker News. Back in 2024 I was experimenting with prosthetic arms and trying to figure out how to build one with an EMG sensor. The problem I kept running into was that the EMG sensor kept crashing the Arduino IDE. It spat out data at an extremely high rate, and my RAM couldn't keep up with it, being on a potato laptop. That's when I thought, "Okay, maybe let's try Rust. What's the worst that can happen?" This is the first thing I ever built in Rust: https://ift.tt/Eft3sZg I used a sliding window: keep deleting the oldest values and keep pushing the newer ones onto the graph. It looked a bit like a snake chasing its tail, but it's what actually worked for us later at the Smart India Hackathon 2024 Hardware finals (we didn't win). Sharing something from back when trying something new and building something new felt exciting. Maybe we'll never get to build things quite the same way ag...

Google Meet Enshittification 3 by chrisjj | 0 comments on Hacker News. Google Meet Android app meeting join now claims to need Notification Permissions for incoming and outgoing calls. This claim is false. There's no such requirement. And if thete were, this would be needless and wholly unreasonable.

Ask HN: How can we stop UX people from changing UIs to get promotions? 4 by ex-aws-dude | 0 comments on Hacker News. Every product seems to go through constant UI churn that has no benefit to users other than changing around whitespace or refreshing the look. If you have a full time UX person they _must_ change the UI of your product otherwise there is no way to get promoted. That is just an unavoidable fact of incentive structures. As a company how can you avoid that issue?

How do you deal with AI Output of your boss? 5 by okr | 5 comments on Hacker News. So, my boss goes on a rampage. You can clearly see the joy and at the same time the rage and impatience. AI is the tool he always wanted. We are too slow. Process is out of the window. No need for sprints anymore. No planning, just doing. All people downstream must somehow adapt. Whenever i see now his automated messages in slack, my natural reaction is: why do i even bother reading that? Thats for machines to read. He does not need me? Clearly i am not made for that. What is he expecting me to do? To confirm how great the AI did the job? Should i remember all these perfect presentations AI has created and integrate it into my doings into the coming weeks? I am torn. Should i really free my AI and deal with all this incoming text? Is this the way to react on this perfection? I am not mad at him, it clearly frees him of all the burder of dealing with people. I just dont know how to deal with this outpu...

Ask HN: For those who left Big Tech for early-stage startups, do you regret it? 3 by Peaceful-Hours | 1 comments on Hacker News.

Ask HN: Is anyone still running Token Ring or FDDI networks? 2 by robotnikman | 0 comments on Hacker News. Recent discussion on Token Ring networks has me wondering, has anyone seen any Token Ring or FDDI networks still running out there?

Why is there no AlphaZero for theorem proving? 3 by hyperpallium2 | 2 comments on Hacker News. It seems an obvious thing to try; therefore, it has been tried. Impressive results are publicized; therefore it wasn't impressive.

How to make my business survives it's first 5 years? 2 by SSDIE | 0 comments on Hacker News. I want to know how can I make my business survive? Please offer me some advice and guidance. And before you do I hope you all look on the past situation was it mostly luck that you survived or your skill. Because I'm afraid what may work for you may not work for me.

Tell HN: Google Argon on a Pro subscription is worthless 4 by bb88 | 4 comments on Hacker News. Maybe that was true with Fable as well. But one prompt which took 5 minutes of clock time, used 50% of the resources of a Pro account for the 5 hour window.

Twitterwebviewer.net Is Back Online 2 by orange999 | 0 comments on Hacker News. https://ift.tt/RCqZUVA Previously, twitterviewer.net, which had some annoying ads, was seemingly the only website of this type left. But now twitterwebviewer is back. It doesn't have anywhere close to as many ads as twitterviewer does. I don't know exactly when twitterwebviewer came back online. The owner of the website didn't announce on here or Reddit or seemingly anywhere else that he had restored the website, and I discovered the website was back a few hours ago by accident when I was doing a google search to get to the similarly named twitterviewer. So now, even if you don't like all of twitterviewer's ads, there is an option to read Twitter without an account.

Are there any more startups with real technical challenges? 2 by artifix | 4 comments on Hacker News. I'm a technologist with 25+ years of hands-on experience across all IT roles and hundreds of technologies. I've done it all: from startups to Fortune 500s, from desktop applications to global distributed systems to AI dark factory harnesses. But I'm bored. I want to work with a startup who's taking on real challenges, challenges that require the kind of engineering expertise that gave us the microprocessor revolution and the real birth of Silicon Valley. Yes, everyone is talking about AI. Sure, in the right hands, with the right ring-fencing, AI is great, and there are plenty of great startup ideas around AI. At the same time, there is a lot of disinformation. The risk is that many of these startups will fail because they lack the serious engineering needed to use AI to its maximum potential. But I'm looking for something else. Do you have something that shifts t...

Tell HN: Remember to migrate away from .name domain 6 by nikanj | 5 comments on Hacker News. If you have a third.level.name domain, it'll get permanently expunged next year. Have you successfully taken steps to migrate away? Did you move to a standard .com domain, or are you taking your chances with another .tld? Personally, I'm stuck in Microsoft hell because Azure admin emails cannot be changed and support is both uncaring and powerless.

Domain Health 3 by anjalibery | 0 comments on Hacker News. We have WorkOS and are sending out activation emails for our beta product. They activation email (with the link) ends up in spam. We've tried so many different combos (plain text vs. html, vs. no hyperlink), and it seems like anything with a link is getting bounced. I'm worried about our domain health and curious if there's a better way to diagnose the problem

Tell HN: ChatGPT on macOS grants local computer access to cloud account 4 by lxgr | 0 comments on Hacker News. I recently started a conversation on ChatGPT for macOS in "Work" mode with the "In the Cloud" execution option enabled. I was expecting this to run on a cloud VM, just like "Work" conversations started on chatgpt.com When I continued it in the browser (e.g. via right clicking it on macOS and then selecting "Open on chatgpt.com"), I was pretty shocked to learn that it actually had (and still has) access to my local file system. I could just prompt it to list files in my home directory, in /Applications etc. I never have opted into this behavior in the macOS app, nor does there seem to be any way to deactivate it. It's somewhat documented for enterprise accounts [1], and it can be deactivated for those in the admin panel, but this seems like the wrong place: Why should this be possible to activate remotely? Can anybody confirm this ...

JNISleuth-MCP – Recover Stripped JNI Bindings and Ollvm Branches for Ghidra/Ida 2 by akdapunk | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hi HN, I’m a security engineer focused on Android anti-malware and reverse engineering. When reversing hardened Android apps or wild malware, one of the most tedious parts is crossing the Java-to-Native (JNI) boundary when `.so` binaries are stripped, methods are bound dynamically via `RegisterNatives` inside an OLLVM-flattened `JNI_OnLoad`, and `JNIEnv ` vtable calls decompile as raw pointer offsets like `(*(code *)( param_1 + 0x548))`. I built JNISleuth-MCP to automate that workflow: 1. It parses multi-DEX APKs for `native` declarations and sweeps `.rodata` / `.data.rel.ro` (or section-header-stripped `PT_LOAD` segments) for `(char* name, char* sig, void* fnPtr)` triplets. 2. It statically resolves ARM64 OLLVM `CSEL` + `BR X8` indirect branches and `.rodata` jump tables in `JNI_OnLoad` (and can patch them in-place with direct `B.cond` / `B` instructions). 3. F...

Ask HN: Anyone using Jev / other decision models? What for? 2 by simonw | 1 comments on Hacker News. The decision model / System One model pattern was pioneered by Jev a month ago. Since then OpenAI shipped their version and ther have been dozens of open weight implementations too. Are you using any of these in production yet? If so, what are you using them for?

Ask HN: CAD for wood working with LLM support? 2 by reacharavindh | 0 comments on Hacker News. I’m a hobbyist woodworker. I manually design simple things in Shapr3d with a lot of patience when I build things. I wonder in the time of LLMs if there is an effective way to accelerate the 3D model design using AI.. Anybody tried using AI to model wood projects? Any tools to recommend?

ChatGPT Plugin in Review for Weeks 2 by dthedavid | 0 comments on Hacker News. My ChatGPT plugin has been stuck in review for 2+ weeks. I'm excited about what it can do, but there's no reason it should take this long, given that we're now in the age of agents. Anyone else seeing long delays?

Ask HN: How to slow down AI development speed(also, estimate my ideas) 3 by aac1122 | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hello everybody. So, the first: we should abandon likes and go to top-lists instead of them, and say "this is on first place of importance", "this is third place", and finally we will find the medium: "2nd place in average" . To avoid sybil-attacks and get needed money, we may register proofs that we are really person with this e-mail, date and place of birth, first and last name to charity companies - they may reveal data about you like "this is a unique person", "this is 18+ person" etc., whether we want to deanonymize registered person or not.(Proof of Personhood/PoP + Sovereign Identity?) Then, we should alarm/whistleblow the AI disaster as the most important things in the world* Then, we should watch somehow who uses/trains AI. Some suggestions: OS, providers, antivirus systems. If you're closing this data or open...

I don't think image containers supporting both lossless and lossy is good 4 by functionmouse | 1 comments on Hacker News. In all discussion of the modern image formats JXL and WebP, it has been mentioned that the formats support both lossless and lossy encoding, as if this is some sort of breakthrough feature. I think, at the very least, lossless and lossy image formats ought to use a different container, or file extension, so that -I- can differentiate them. As long as there is this sort of ambiguity, and unless search engines widely add a "lossless" option to their advanced image search tools, I will keep searching for "filetype:png" when I want a lossless image. Hey, maybe some Googler could convince their boss to convince their boss to add the "filetype:lossless" flag, to support these new formats?

Ask HN: Do you want a router that has DD-WRT pre-installed? 4 by Ixander | 3 comments on Hacker News. I sometimes run across comments where someone says they want an open-source router. I wonder if this is a viable idea for someone to start as a small company. What makes me hesitant is that, first, it looks like this already exists in several wireless and non-wireless routers (like the GL.iNet Flint or OpenWrt One), and second, I assume hackers would just make their own. I have been flashing DD-WRT to my routers for many years. My current setup is an Archer C9 that connects via cable to an Archer C8, which then wirelessly bridges to an R7000. All of them run DD-WRT. If I had "fun money," I would buy a low-power SFF PC with dual NICs, run OPNsense or OpenWrt, and use the wireless routers strictly as access points. Since I don't have that much to spend, I look for older DD-WRT friendly routers, usually under $30, on Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace, and flash them myse...

Ask HN: How do swarms of AI agents work? 5 by dsrtslnd23 | 1 comments on Hacker News. Andrej Karpathy posted about the growing gap in how people experience AI: ~75% have barely used LLMs ~20% use them casually ~0.2% use frontier models professionally for math and code ~0.00006% have access to frontier systems internally He writes: "And finally we get to the ~5,000 people (~0.00006%) with access to frontier-grade systems internally. The external world has seen the preview. It looks like swarms of thousands of agents collaborating over weeks on software mega projects: minting zero days, running cyber attacks and defenses at machine speeds, discovering new science, advancing the frontier of mathematics." Source: https://ift.tt/7zYvucp Does anyone have an intuition, or even firsthand experience, of how these swarms of thousands of agents actually work? I'm already struggling to get 2-3 agents to work together reliably. I can't really wrap my head around how you'd c...

I am so tired of startups doing worse than me 3 by sankde | 7 comments on Hacker News. I literally saw a multi million funded startup build an AI model for Android devices and tout it as their best achievement. I put a 32M parameter looped model on ESP32, an 8MB chip. I have three different softwares in production right now. I just don't understand what I am doing wrong. How are these guys getting so much money?

Ask HN: What's your plan if AI takes your job? 3 by bumicodes | 2 comments on Hacker News. If AI took away my job and I cannot return to software engineering, I cannot imagine a fit for me at any place yet. I was wondering if anyone else had the same thought and what would you do?

If AI keeps evolving,would you worry about your next generation's survival 5 by hanstyle | 1 comments on Hacker News. Imagine this. Twenty years from now, if AI is capable of handling all work, how will your kids make ends meet? If you want to prevent that future, what should you be doing today?

Ask HN: Are there things more important than 'humanity', such as empathy? 5 by dfps | 2 comments on Hacker News. Questions of passing the touring test rely on fooling people that the machine is like a human, but how that machine behaves in situations we would deem important or consequential (eg a man trapped in a room as in Ex Machina) may depend on other things, such as empathy (which is cross species). Opinions?

Aaron Swartz's domain aaronsw.com has expired 4 by karimelgazar | 1 comments on Hacker News. Aaron Swartz's personal site now shows an expired-domain page. WHOIS says it expired Sept 29 (registered via Hover/Tucows). It's probably still in the grace period, so his family or estate can still renew it. If anyone is connected to them, please inform them. I read his blogs often, they mean a lot to me and I am upset about this. Archive: https://ift.tt/oc3nz4t

Ask HN: Positive text origin verification 3 by Miguel_FierroM | 7 comments on Hacker News. Is anyone working on a positive text origin verification standard? Everyday it gets harder to distinguish between AI generated content and human generated content. This will never really work on the side of the labs but for people looking to actively prove they're the ones that wrote something there's an incentive to voluntarily collect that evidence. Is anyone working on this?

You're saving one minute and now I can't know if I'm talking a human 6 by scoofy | 0 comments on Hacker News. I write a golf blog. Recently, it's been getting a nontrivial amount of attention from a very niche section of the nerd-golf community. I've been getting a small number of emails and message from people because of this. This is how it has been going: Me: Oh, this is a nice email. Wait, something seems off. Let me check this in Pangram... Oh, 100% AI predicted. I respond: Hey, thanks for the note. Just FYI, Pangram doesn't really like your writing style. Them: Ahh, you got me. I use AI to help me write. Blah, blah... --- I really don't know what to do here. I still don't know if I'm talking to a human. If you are messaging me because you like my writing and you're using AI to write these short messages for you, I don't know what to tell you. Please stop. It takes two minutes to write a quick message... I really don't care if...

Ask HN: How come everyone is an LLM expert? 3 by delis-thumbs-7e | 3 comments on Hacker News. It is a bit strange how new model is released and hour after there is commentators declaring it complete trash and embarrassment to the AI industry, or the best thing since sliced bread. Surely they have not had the opportunity to test the ins and outs of the model yet? Or do people just blindly trust benchmarks as if they were not pretty easy to manipulate, as research has shown quite a few times now? Or is it just all vibe? So how do you measure how one model is better than another?

Ask HN: Are there AI models for generating sounds based on a text and reference? 6 by onemiketwelve | 0 comments on Hacker News. I've been having a hard time finding a solution. Is there really no commercialized model that I can feed in a reference sound and text instruction and get another sound out? Right now having a multimodal inputs to image or text output is a commodotized, solved problem. IE you can put a prompt for some image and use a reference image to guide the model on what you want. After all, a picture is worth a thousand words right? Ive also used a text and audio input in order to get a text description or classification out. I cannot for the life of me find a solution for Audio + text -> Audio My usecase is that I'm trying to generate new sound effects based on a source that doesn't have that many clean examples and thought this would be just another solved workflow but I'm not finding much. Tried elevenlabs SFX but it's only text->audio an...

GitHub Refuses To Remove Cracked Copies Of My Software Even After A Month 5 by IvanK_net | 2 comments on Hacker News. I am a developer of https://ift.tt/6wVmSu1, a popular photo editor that runs in a web browser. Many people are asking AI models to take the Javascript code from my website, remove all ads from it, and they publish such a "new product" on Github for everyone to download. There exist tens of such repositories on Github. I want my website to be the only source of a stable version of my program Photopea. I even received emails from people complaining about something in Photopea, and it took several emails to figure out that they are not using Photopea.com (so it ruins my reputation a little). I reported it to Github on the 4th of September 2026: https://ift.tt/sqp8uJy Today, a month later, I received this response: Thank you for submitting a DMCA takedown notice.

Tell HN: Uceprotect is extorting website owners 2 by goldenmember | 0 comments on Hacker News. I recently discovered by accident that our website was being blocked by Orange's security filters. After a quick check, I found that our IP address is listed on UCEPROTECT Level 3. The listing is based on the reputation of the entire ASN 14061 (DigitalOcean, US) [1]. In other words, even if your IP did nothing wrong, it will still be listed because of its ASN. If your site is innocent and listed only because it's hosted on DigitalOcean, UCEPROTECT offers to whitelist it for about $30/month or $108/year [2]. I checked the ASNs of several other popular hosting providers, and they're all listed too. So if your site is hosted on DigitalOcean or any other major provider, it's probably blacklisted as well. That can cut you off from customers on mobile networks like Orange, whose "cybersecurity protection" uses blacklists like UCEPROTECT to filter traffic. Honestly, in m...

Safety is a product liability Issue 2 by natrajs | 0 comments on Hacker News. Why is safety in LLMS talked so much in the public forum and why is it driven by the frontier labs themselves. Is it not their responsibility and getting public to be worried looks puzzling? Thoughts welcome

What did Google do to its Linux terminal on Pixel phones 3 by Steaglsz | 0 comments on Hacker News. You can't use the app without having the permissions "always on" for microphone and nearby divices I also think they changed the internal language because the terminal app used w3m up until the recent 753 mb forced-update. So after a few months of learning what w3m was, it wasn't even installed anymore in the freshly updated terminal app I also can't figure out what needs to be turned on/off to prevent the terminal app from crashing if I leave it idle for more than a few minutes The solution is to just use termux, but the pixel was a work horse when combined with the text based web. Now it's just a horse I have to prod with cd every few minutes to get back to where I was

Chamath says open AI models are "commoditize your complement." Agree? 2 by Dinuda | 1 comments on Hacker News. Chamath's argument (https://ift.tt/PCm0n28): companies give away the thing they dont sell for free, so the thing they do sell is worth more. Meta makes money though ads, Google and Microsoft from cloud. The losers are companies whose business is selling access to closed models. But still companies are paying more and mroe for closed models anyway! Does this theory hold up?

Ask HN: Is anybody producing good code with coding agents? 4 by ruffrey | 4 comments on Hacker News. This is a genuine problem that I hear from senior engineers. I'm looking for a solution. -- The quality of ai-generated code is (claude, agy, copilot, codex a little better). It's exhausting to read. I used to love learning from my experienced colleagues and taking pride in what we made. We spent time on elegance and craftsmanship. Now I spend nearly the whole workday slogging through convoluted code riddled with footguns. I ride on hopes and dreams I might understand a changeset. It takes 5x longer to review Claude merge requests and I barely understand what I approve. Each day I drift further from understanding as I shovel the same into the codebase. The solution seems to be, reach "level 4 autonomy" and don't read or write code anymore. -- WHO HAS SOLVED THIS PROBLEM? PLEASE HELP!

Tell HN: OVH price increase for dedicated servers 2 by esher | 2 comments on Hacker News. Since October 1 the OVH price increase also applies to running dedicated servers, at next renewal. A Reddit user posted that their two servers went up 54% in 11 months, no grandfathering. OVH's own post: an Advance-1 Gen 2024 renews at $114.99 instead of $89.99 (+28%). RAM options on new orders are up 68% to 652%, the Game range up to 87%. The stated reason is DDR5 costing six times what it did a year ago. Hetzner did the same in February and June, both threads had 500+ points here. I run a small PHP hosting company, so I am biased. But I wonder: Who here still runs OVH or Hetzner dedicated boxes?
