None hit the mark.Our Approach: Multi-Model + Human RoutingSynapse is our attempt at something better: A routing architecture that matches tasks with the best resource whether that’s an LLM, a smaller domain model, or a vetted human expertA way to balance specialization and scale, instead of choosing oneIt powers our own domain-specific foundation model (AGM-2), and integrates GPT-4, Claude, and others alongside it.

Show HN: RKIK v0.6.0 – A stateless NTP inspection CLI (Rust, async, no root)https://github.com/aguacero7/rkikHi HN,I've just released version 0.6.0 of RKIK (Rusty Klock Inspection Kit), a command-line tool for inspecting NTP servers. It's designed for passive, read-only analysis of NTP offset and delay — much like `dig` is to DNS or `ping` is to ICMP.Why?In environments where you can't or don't want to run `chronyd`, `ntpd`, or `ntpdate` (e.g. containers, sandboxes, CI), there's no lightweight way to check if your system is drifting from trusted NTP servers.RKIK fills that gap: - Query one or more NTP servers - Compare offsets between multiple servers asynchronously (thanks to Tokio) - Output in JSON or readable text - Works with both IPv4 and IPv6 - No root, no sync, no config, no daemon - Written in Rust, single binary (~2MB)Example usage: rkik pool.ntp.org rkik --compare time.google.com time.cloudflare.com rkik -C ntp1 ntp2 ntp3 --format json Example output: Server: time.google.com Offset: -1.203 ms RTT: 2.320 ms RefID: GOOG Stratum: 1 Why Rust?It compiles to a small static binary, has greJul 30, 2025 4:00 PM

Show HN: EndBOX DIY Kit – A Basic Microcomputerhttps://www.endbasic.dev/endbox.htmlHello all!A month ago, I announced of a "little box" I've been working on to run EndBASIC, similar to the machines we played with in the 1980s. The box was briefly discussed in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44253065 and I wasn't quite ready to properly launch it.Today, I'm still not ready to actually build and ship this box myself as I was previously thinking (and I'm not sure I'll even try to embark on that journey!), but I have finished preparing DIY instructions to build your own little machine.AND, as part of this, I've released the disk image with the tailored OS for the Raspberry Pi to run a BASIC system right at boot. In case you are curious, the OS is, essentially, a minimal NetBSD system customized with a build of the EndBASIC interpreter that leverages NetBSD APIs directly, bypassing the need for X11 to offer you a console very early in the boot.Links for the downloads in the instructions page!Hope you enjoy it.Jul 12, 2025 3:12 AM
