10+ years of posting doesn't give you a pass to skirt the HN guidelines.

    Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, brigading, foreign agents, and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email hn@ycombinator.com and we'll look at the data.

Them's the... guidelines.

Please do better.

gen6acd60afon April 2026 TLDR Setup for Ollama and Gemma 4 26B on a Mac mini

And didn't Ollama independently ship a vision pipeline for some multimodal models months before llama.cpp supported it?

gen6acd60afon Ask HN: Who is hiring? (July 2025)

Worth pointing out:

That domain has never been mentioned on HN before this, it does not appear in search engine results apart from those indexing that comment, and it has no recorded history of any kind.

gen6acd60afon I scanned all of GitHub's "oops commits" for leaked secrets

Concerning.

It's interesting research, but will Truffle Security use the email addresses for lead gen or marketing purposes, like how they mined users' pingbacks from their XSS Hunter fork for stats?

gen6acd60afon Xfinity using WiFi signals in your house to detect motion

Sorry, I should have clarified (I would normally agree with you here).

I found a GitHub repo for "ESP32-CSI-Tool" that seems related to Wi-Fi Sensing, but zero references to "FreqSense" in the Wi-Fi/RF context.

The only FreqSense I found is an obscure academic paper on speech recognition that doesn't involve any form of hardware.

Can you elaborate? I'm unsure what a trust boundary definition means in this context and how it relates to attestation.
