kordlessagain··on TinyWind: A pixel pirate sailing game with real wind physics (380k+ kms sailed)
I used Hyperia (my terminal project) to let Antigravity take control. I think it's cheating now because it has infinite ammo.

Oh my, it wired up its own autopilot and is wrecking havoc now.

> To that end, I can certainly buy the case that Fable/Mythos is in fact more capable when it comes to identifying and exploiting security issues

This has been covered before: https://aisle.com/blog/ai-cybersecurity-after-mythos-the-jag... (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47732020)

> Anthropic’s cautious roll-out was justified. The problem with publicly releasing models, however, is that guardrails can be jailbroken, and apparently that is exactly what happened shortly after the release

The future is unevenly distributed. Anthropic, and Amodie in particular, seem to be of the mind they can control a bit of the unknown using words. They are likely being guided by the very product they built. *AI CAN MAKE MISTAKES

That Project Glasswing bullshit reeks of it. Corporations have take control of our attention, our Internet, and now our thinking.

I say it's high time to take it back.

...and take their cluster of twelve M1 Max's with them.
kordlessagain··on Did Anthropic ask for this?
Regardless of whether they asked for it or not is irrelevant. That they released a product and encouraged use of it, then had to walk it back and now we're likely looking at proving we are US citizens to them to use it - if it returns at all - is insanity in action.
kordlessagain··on Did Anthropic ask for this?
Consider Dario was VP of AI research and oversaw alignment and safety at OpenAI. He left in 2020. In my opinion and from direct observation, it takes time to change policy at large well funded companies, so even after he left, his influence was still being felt.
kordlessagain··on Did Anthropic ask for this?
Why limit competition of corporations to law at all? Isn't it that we are in times where "edge case exploitation" rules and laws are regularly ignored or worked around with "payoffs"?
kordlessagain··on Slightly reducing the sloppiness of AI generated front end
Your comment cuts to the heart of it, for sure.

However, banning that type of content is an arms race waiting to happen. It also neglects the fact that powerful software can be built with AI with proper attention and knowledge of the domain.

It's an attention problem: https://deepbluedynamics.com/blog/rise-of-the-systemmer

kordlessagain··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (June 2026)
Let me know when you get binaries building or if you need any help on it. I have several Rust agents running in my other projects, but would love to add support for your project in Nemesis8, an agentic coding orchestration tool. Details in my profile.
kordlessagain··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (June 2026)
I've built similar a couple of different ways. I'm currently focusing on running outputs through a local model to to enable tokenmaxing before sending onto a model I am paying with credits, not OAuth.

My friend, who is not at all familiar with the terminal, has customers using a variety of hosted services.

And, he has a working solution.

It's 2026, FWIW.

You are a systemmer. Stop arguing with jerks. It's a waste of your time. And time is all we have.
kordlessagain··on Slightly reducing the sloppiness of AI generated front end
HN has huge issues right now with AI generated code or design.

I have a friend who is a graphic designer/market strategy guy and he's been using Anthropic to build sites and even did an agent on his own page that helps guide the user through onboarding. I reviewed the code a few times and gave him some tips and it looks pretty good and works flawlessly.

He maintain a lot of customer's sites (design wise) and all the customers are responsible for their own hosting and ssl certs. He got tired of them calling him about expired ones, so he had Claude write a script and use Agentmail to notify him when one expires.

A few of them were needing updating when he wrote it, and when I reviewed it (with Claude Fable) it discovered that in the event they were all up-to-date, it wouldn't email him. Other than that, it works perfectly and runs on his machine on a schedule.

This morning he had it write a script to monitor his computer for load, after having issues with Adobe.

kordlessagain··on Claude Fable 5
Same. I asked for a security review and it immediately triggered. I then started a new session and asked for a software review and it ran for a bit before getting tripped on token usage by the project.
kordlessagain··on Cloudflare CEO is lying to you about the bot traffic jump
No, you aren't. The substantive argument was about the single choke point they represent and the decrypting of traffic. Nevertheless, you need not agree with my claim that they "require" you to use their crawler, and it's your prerogative to push back on this particular part of my comment.

Cloudflare provides services that any of their users may enable to charge crawlers for access. And they announced a while ago that this was going to be enabled by default on new domains, whether the customer asked for it or not (and there is plenty online about people wondering why they aren't being crawled). When it is enabled, Cloudflare either blocks, require registration of the crawler (forcing enabled billing), or provide one themselves: https://developers.cloudflare.com/changelog/post/2026-03-10-...

My compressed claim was close enough (in my opinion), given the substantive argument was broader: chokepoint, MITM, decryption, the IP vs AI tension.

It's the same pattern as Flock cameras quietly becoming the default license plate surveillance layer across US cities. Private infrastructure is becoming the substrate for something that used to be public or distributed, with the concentration happening faster than any deliberative process about whether we want it.

I'm willing to be wrong on any specific piece of this. But chasing down receipts for every line is effort, and I'm tired and old. The shape is what matters, and the shape is a man-in-the-middle.

kordlessagain··on Ask HN: What are tools you have made for yourself since the advent of AI?
Sure, whatever you like. All of it is open source, including the crawler: https://github.com/deepbluedynamics/grubcrawler

Almost everything I build will run locally or on Google Cloud in serverless mode.

The README on the repo for the app is has been updated with instructions for you. You will need Docker.

Says the guy that uses a man-in-the-middle service to "protect" his website. So dumb. I seriously hate Cloudflare.
kordlessagain··on Republicans Claim Anti-Data Center Movement Is a Chinese Psy-Op
It's not China. It's the United States.

We're a country of growing "ever blamers".

Something is wrong? Blame someone else. Distract. Deflect. Deny.

Find a head to roll. Find a scapegoat. Use it as personal leverage to gain power.

Fuck the ever blamers.

kordlessagain··on Cloudflare CEO is lying to you about the bot traffic jump
I concur and have been talking about this for a while.

The fact is, Cloudflare is a man-in-the-middle. That's their focus, that's their purpose.

They will limit your local crawler from accessing pages. They will demand you use their crawler.

They will decrypt your traffic if they get a warrant. They always decrypt your traffic anyway, but they will give it to state actors if they demand it.

That's not to say anyone should break the laws, but the issue right now is that intellectual property is incompatible with what is coming with AI.

I don't hate on Cloudflare because it's a bad service. It's actually pretty good, but the fundamental problem is they make their purpose to be a single choke point of all data on the Web.

That's not right. It never was.

kordlessagain··on Ask HN: What is your (AI) dev tech stack / workflow?
Coming from a traditional XP and Agile background, the current AI developer landscape can feel incredibly hollow because tools like Copilot or Cursor treat the model as a glorified editor plugin or autocomplete box. If you value open source, local-first computing, and deterministic control, modern tooling shouldn't be about finding a better IDE extension but treating the AI as an independent operator that sits completely outside the text editor.

I built an entire local-first sovereign agentic stack on Linux that completely replaces the IDE-centric model with a terminal control plane called Hyperia. Hyperia is a terminal emulator with a decoupled agent sidecar that hooks directly into standard protocols like the Model Context Protocol.

https://deepbluedynamics.com

Instead of just reading passive text buffers, it monitors discrete command lifecycle events across your shell sessions and web panes, catching stack traces as your test suite runs like a true pair-programming partner. To make this safe and reproducible, you cannot let an LLM run arbitrary, side-effect-heavy tool calls directly on your host machine.

This is handled by Nemesis, a container orchestration runtime that acts as a secure, session-persistent sandbox for the agentic workspace. When an agent writes code or touches system files, it executes inside an isolated Docker container, keeping the host operating system completely pristine.

For data-heavy tasks like parsing local markdown files or indexing an entire photo archive, you should avoid proprietary cloud vector databases. This stack uses Shivvr, a local semantic search engine that handles chunking and inverted vector embeddings entirely on your own hardware so your data never leaves your laptop.

Finally, the extraction, ingestion, and scraping of local docs or web sources is handled by Grub, an automated, high-speed crawler that feeds structured data back into the system. Modern tooling shouldn't mean chaining yourself to a proprietary cloud SaaS platform.

By exposing standard Unix primitives like files, shells, and local compilers to an API, sandboxing the environment in a container, and letting a local agent orchestrate the workspace, the cloud-vendor magic fades away and actual sovereign software engineering takes over.

All of this is a WIP but I use it every day to work on it.

kordlessagain··on Show HN: Boxes.dev: ditch localhost; run Claude Code and Codex in the cloud
Exactly my thoughts when I built all this: https://deepbluedynamics.com

I do provide cloud support for somethings like embeddings and crawling, but you can run it local if you want. The only thing closed source is the memory system, but it still runs local if you want it.

kordlessagain··on Show HN: Boxes.dev: ditch localhost; run Claude Code and Codex in the cloud
Awman looks great - just installed on Windows and it built the image. I'm trying to figure out how to launch an agent...

FWIW, I'm working on Nemesis8: https://github.com/DeepBlueDynamics/nemesis8 if you want to team up. I'm kordless at gmail or kord at deepbluedynamics

kordlessagain··on Please don't spam people looking for employment. It's just cruel
Might I point out that this entire thread is ridiculous?

It’s a bunch of people complaining about things they don’t actually control. The only logical move is to change perspective and go build something.

Yes, I will do pretty much whatever it takes to call attention to what I built. You call it “slop,” but I suspect you never bothered to look. Instead, you took the vibe of the thread — that people often post their own thing out of context — and applied it to someone making counterarguments.

In this case, I’ve built a lot of open-source software. A fair amount of it has been worked on by me for over five years. That includes real agent infrastructure: Hyperia, a local/self-owned agent control plane; N.U.T.S. services for crawling, embeddings/search, auth, tunnels, and backend glue; and a broader stack aimed at sovereign AI systems people can actually run, inspect, and control themselves.

That’s not slop.

It’s real code. It does real things. It is actually open source.

This place is supposed to be for people who build and hack. Not people who sit around blaming, sneering, and mistaking cynicism for taste. Trying to steer things back toward building and hacking is everyone’s job here. Being insulting is not.

Do better. Build better. Drop the fake empathy for things online.
