Webb reveals black hole that formed before its galaxyhttps://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/Webb/Webb_reveals_black_hole_that_formed_before_its_galaxyUsing the unprecedented imaging and spectroscopic power of the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope, researchers have mapped the motion and composition of gas orbiting a black hole in the centre of Abell2744-QSO1, a tiny galaxy more than 13 billion light-years away. The results suggest that the 50-million-solar-mass black hole predates its host galaxy, possibly forming within the first second of the Big Bang, and must have been immense from the start.May 27, 2026 3:00 PM

How to prevent ideological capture of sites like Wikipedia, HNhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48290346Someone submitted a link [1] to an article on Wikipedia's whitewashing of Mao titled Wikipedia Whitewashes Mao – The Anatomy of Ideological Capture [2], a topic which in a more generalized form is of interest to the current average HN denizen given the prevalence of Wikipedia in LLM training data. It did not take long for the flaggers and down-voters to take down the article which has only managed to get a few comments, the top one claiming the article to be 'a pretty political take on a Wikipedia article'. I think the subject deserves more discussion since it points out a clear problem with sources like Wikipedia but also because of the way this article was quickly flagged to death. The flagging and down-voting mechanisms make sites like HN vulnerable to the same type of ideological capture as what is discussed in the linked article in that a relatively small group of motivated users can suppress 'unwanted' subjects while boosting those which fit some desired narrative.[1] https://newMay 27, 2026 6:14 AM

Show HN: STAX IDE – A zoomable macOS canvas of terminals and toolshttps://staxide.comHi HN. STAX IDE is a macOS app where every terminal session, code editor, and file browser is a movable, resizable window on a single zoomable canvas. `Cmd+wheel` to zoom out and see the whole workspace; zoom in to one window and use it like a normal app.I built it because I was running 8-10 Claude Code / Codex shells in parallel and tabbed terminal apps kept losing my place. I wanted to see every shell at once and drag them around like Post-its. And have my browsers and notes in there too.Implementation choices that might be interesting:• AppKit, not SwiftUI. I needed manual frame control during drag/zoom to avoid AppKit's display-cycle re-entrancy guard, and got it more reliably out of straight NSView land.• SwiftTerm (Miguel de Icaza's emulator) for VT100 + real PTYs (fork + openpty). One `LocalProcessTerminalView` per tab. OSC 7 → cwd → tab title.• `NSScrollView.magnification` for canvas zoom. Cmd+wheel events are coalesced to one mag-update per display frame and the resync broadcaMay 27, 2026 4:39 AM

Show HN: Posthorn, self-hosted mail gatewayhttps://github.com/craigmccaskill/posthornIntroducing Posthorn, a self hosted email gateway. One docker container (or Go binary) between every self hosted app on your VPS and your transactional email provider. Set up Posthorn once, point your apps to it, done.I was trying to deploy Ghost on a DigitalOcean droplet and found that DO and many different VPS services have started to block the default SMTP ports to try to combat the various types of abuse they get. To actually configure my app, I had to hack together a Postfix relay.In another project, I had a static site which had a contact form, but my free Formspree account was occasionally hitting usage limits and I desperately wanted some of the anti-spam features they had gated behind their paid accounts so I put together a caddy module to catch HTTP POSTs and bounce them to my provider.I kept bumping into these same email issues. Many of the services I wanted to host (Gitea, Mastodon, Umami, Comentario) ran into the same limitations. This felt like a really common issue that May 27, 2026 4:26 AM

Bill Gates AI on AI (one month later)https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48289469# The Agentic Tidal Wave*To:* Executive Staff and Direct Reports *From:* Bill Gates *Date:* April 26, 2026Our vision for the last 20 years can be summarized in a succinct way. We saw that exponential improvements in cloud would make great software quite available. In the next 20 years the improvement in computer power will be outpaced by the exponential improvements in autonomous expert systems. Verifiable trust will be crucial to delivering the benefits of these advances.Most users of software have not yet seen the price of trustworthy agent compute come down. Cloud platforms and SaaS networks are still depreciating networks built with old verification models, things like API keys and signed JWTs and trust-on-first-use. Universal authentication monopolies and vendor lock-in have kept verification costs high.You'll excuse me for an ad. Darwin Agentic Cloud sits between AI agents and the compute trust layer they need.

Show HN: Monkdev is a toolkit and methodology for coding with LLMshttps://github.com/oeo/monkdevI'm sure many people have some solutions similar to this but I've been using some variation of this since roughly the release of Opus 3 to get higher quality results. Like, significantly higher. So I decided to make it into a more structured package.Problem: bad decisions and short sighted solutions due to the LLM not having enough context before acting. They'd read one file, or a few segments of a set of files using a super conservative offset and limit, guess about the rest, apply a patch, run a unit test and then tell you with its entire chest that the code is production-ready.Those bandaids over time became debt, drift, complexity. Unnecessary LOC in a codebase where I find myself wondering is this thing even making me more efficient or should I be in VIM more often and just save myself the API costs (I use OpenCode + OpenRouter and have been known to blast through hundreds of dollars a day in spend using Frontier models).I found that, for whatever reason, LLMs respond to role-playMay 26, 2026 7:08 PM

Show HN: Chunk sidecars for validating agent-generated code before pushing to CIhttps://circleci.com/blog/chunk-sidecars/Hi HN! My name is Olaf, I work at CircleCI as a technology advisor in the CTO office, came in through the acquisition of my company Vamp.io (progressive delivery for microservices on k8s) in 2021. Wanted to hear the HN community feedback and thoughts on a project we think could be very interesting when adding AI coding agents to the SDLC and your CI pipelines.Our team at CircleCI built Chunk sidecars after repeatedly running into the same issue internally: by the time our CI catches a failure, the agent has already moved on and most of the useful context is gone.The basic idea of Chunk sidecars is to move fast lightweight validation into the inner development loop.Chunk sidecars runs scoped “microbuilds” inside a lightweight microVM that mirrors your CI environment. It tries to auto-detect your stack and test commands, syncs changes from the agent session, and runs validations before commit/push.A few implementation details that might be interesting:validation hooks trigger automaticalMay 26, 2026 3:41 PM
