badmonster··on Show HN: Nightcrawler – A scanner that finds low-hanging fruit while you work
For WebSocket authentication checks, does Nightcrawler currently support token-based (e.g., JWT in query params or headers) patterns, or is it limited to session cookies?
badmonster··on Diffusion Beats Autoregressive in Data-Constrained Settings
a systematic comparisons between diffusion and autoregressive models

badmonster··on Show HN: d2-mcp – compile and render D2 diagrams for multimodal LLMs
Would love to hear how you see d2-mcp fitting into broader AI-assisted workflows — especially in things like technical writing or architecture docs.
badmonster··on Show HN: An Improvisational Web Server
How is it different from traditional web servers?
badmonster··on Impact of Pretraining Word Co-Occurrence on Compositional Generalization In
a subtle but powerful insight: large multimodal models like CLIP don’t just learn individual concepts. they also depend heavily on how often those concepts appear together during training.
badmonster··on Index academic papers and extract metadata for AI agents
indexing research papers with extracting different metadata and relationships — beyond full text chunking and embedding
badmonster··on Non-uniform finite-element meshes defined by ray dynamics for Helmholtz problems
nice breakthrough in the theory behind solving the Helmholtz equation at high frequency
badmonster··on Show HN: CocoIndex – Open-Source Data transformation for AI, only process delta
The core framework is written in Rust because it is performant, robust, and can bind to different languages. Currently it has a Python SDK. I’m thinking of supporting typescript soon. Would love to hear your thoughts, thanks
badmonster··on Contrastive Flow Matching
The speedup (up to 9x training) and quality gains (up to 8.9 FID improvement) are impressive, especially on large-scale benchmarks like ImageNet and CC3M.
badmonster··on Real-time knowledge graph with Kuzu and CocoIndex, performant open source stack
Hi HN community,

I've worked on real-time knowledge graph to turn docs in to knowledge in this project and got very popular [1]. I've received feature request to integrated with Kuzu from CocoIndex users. So I've rolled out the integration with Kuzu + CocoIndex.

CocoIndex is written in Rust to help with real-time data transformation for AI, for example knowledge graphs. Kuzu is written in C++ and is high performance and light weight. Both are open source.

With the new change, you only need one config away to export existing knowledge to kuzu if already on neo4j.

Blog with detailed explanations end to end: https://cocoindex.io/blogs/kuzu-integration

Really appreciate the feedback from this community!

badmonster··on Transformers as Multi-Task Learners: Decoupling Features in Hidden Markov Models
interesting paper. essentially a peek under the hood of why transformers generalize so well across multiple tasks, through the lens of hidden markov models.
badmonster··on Yep, X was down again
ran into this again today ..
badmonster··on Show HN: Lazy Tetris
nice
badmonster··on MMSI-Bench: A Benchmark for Multi-Image Spatial Intelligence
The stark performance gap between current models and humans—especially the fact that even the top proprietary model only hits 40%—highlights how underexplored and underdeveloped multi-image spatial reasoning still is.
badmonster··on Show HN: Open Source PDF Viewer Using Chrome’s PDF Engine (MIT, WebAssembly)
nice
badmonster··on A Formal Proof of Complexity Bounds on Diophantine Equations
impressive formalization effort that bridges deep number theory and formal methods
badmonster··on SignGemma – a sign language understanding model
amazing project
badmonster··on Training-Free Acceleration for Diffusion Transformers
GRAT (Grouping First, Attending Smartly) is a training-free method that massively speeds up diffusion-based Transformers—achieving up to 35.8× faster generation for ultra-high-res images (8192×8192)—by leveraging the natural sparsity in attention maps. This is impressive.
badmonster··on Improving Assembly Code Performance with LLMss via Reinforcement Learning
reinforcement learning can push LLMs beyond generation and into true performance optimization at the assembly level. achieving a 1.47x speedup over gcc -O3 is no small feat—especially considering -O3 is already highly optimized.
badmonster··on Waymo gets OK to expand robotaxi service into more of Silicon Valley
Today, Waymo operates a commercial robotaxi service in all of San Francisco as well as parts of the Peninsula. It also provides driverless rides to paying customers throughout several Silicon Valley cities, including parts of Mountain View, Palo Alto, Los Altos, and Sunnyvale.
badmonster··on Game theory illustrated by an animated cartoon game
very cute!
badmonster··on My First Physics Simulation
btw congrats on the launch
badmonster··on My First Physics Simulation
How are custom collision effects like ‘explode’ or ‘gravity shift’ implemented on top of Matter.js’ core collision events?
badmonster··on Run your GitHub Actions locally
wow this is a popular project^_^

Which GitHub Actions context variables are emulated or customizable in act, like github.event, github.actor, or secrets

badmonster··on Launch HN: Better Auth (YC X25) – Authentication Framework for TypeScript
How does Better Auth handle multi-tenant authentication across different subdomains or apps within a monorepo setup?

btw i read about your project in x a while ago, nice project!

big news
badmonster··on New research reveals the strongest solar event ever detected, in 12350 BC
wow that's cool. Given that the 12350 BC event was over 500 times more intense than the 2005 solar storm, what are the possible consequences if a storm of similar magnitude were to occur today?
badmonster··on Show HN: Model2vec-Rs – Fast Static Text Embeddings in Rust
How do I load a custom model instead of the ones on Hugging Face?
badmonster··on Coinbase Gets Hacked
Coinbase says that customers’ personal information, including government-issued IDs, was stolen in a data breach. The hackers demanded $20 million from the company, CEO Brian Armstrong said in a post on X. Coinbase said it will not pay the hackers’ ransom.
