At least 10 soldiers killed in attack on base in central Malihttps://arab.news/bju3pBAMAKO: At least 10 soldiers were killed Sunday in an attack on an army base in central Mali claimed by the JNIM group, security and local sources said. The camp, in the village of San, was “temporarily occupied by the attackers,” a security source told AFP, reporting a provisional toll of “around 10 soldiers killed.” Local residents described violent clashes in the early hours of the morning. “I can confirm that it was a terrorist attack. We heard loud explosions and continuous exchanges of fire,” said a resident of San, declining to be identified.Aug 9, 2026 9:00 PM

Show HN: 49IDE – 2D Grid IDE for managing many agents, Git trees, issueshttps://github.com/alpbahadur/49AgentsBeads tables (Steve Yegge's) for issue tracking. Can view git trees, terminals, issue tables, notes, and files all on one screen. Can connect multiple machines via private network (like tailscale)I had this issue where i really did not like the when i had many terminals open at the same time - when you try to code with 6+ agents at the same time, across, say, 3 projects, you get huge context fragmentation. I am a visual person, and its way easier for me to remember where things are if I placed them there - I build this 2D canvas for myself initially and then decided to open-source - the main goal there is to let me (or the user) to place the terminals, github trees (to track agent's progress across branches on different repos), beads issues tables across many machines all on the same screen. Most important note, once again, is since its a 2D canvas, it feels more like a citybuilder where i I decide where to put stuff and thus remember exactly where what is running. It boosts my efficieAug 8, 2026 4:37 PM

Launch HN: ProvenMetal (YC S26) delivers circuit boards in days instead of weekshttps://provenmetal.comHey HN, we’re Will & Johnny from ProvenMetal (https://provenmetal.com). You send us design files or specs and we give you assembled boards domestically in days.The US produced 30% of PCBs globally in 2000, now they produce 4%. Chinese manufacturers have completely dominated this space at 55% of global production.Now, the need for a domestic PCB supply chain is higher than ever before, yet the infrastructure has been dissolving over the last 2 decades. What is left is mostly small family run manufacturers (CMs) that have been operating in largely the same, labor intensive way since the early 2000’s.When you place an order through a CM it typically takes several days to receive a quote and complete design for manufacture review, and then you have to source all of the components (the hardest part) and bare boards yourself, then wait anywhere from a few days to several weeks for the assembly and testing of those boards.We started off assembling circuit boards out of a garage with prosumer Aug 6, 2026 3:59 PM

Show HN: Guide AI coding agents on how to use libraries securelyhttps://github.com/Reware-Labs/securitycardsHi HN,TL;DR: AI Code Security Cards give coding agents library- and version-specific guidance to generate safer code.AI coding agents can generate working code, but they often lack library- and version-specific security knowledge. We've developed AI Code Security Cards, an open-source security knowledge layer, to provide that missing context.The project is related to my PhD, in which I focused on the security of LLM-generated code. During my research, I studied how code generation models behave, how they introduce security issues, and how we can guide them toward generating safer code.My research [1] and several other studies [2–4] show that at least 40% of code generated by state-of-the-art models contains one or more security issues. Similar problems also affect AI coding agents.One reason is that these models often lack sufficient library-specific security knowledge in their context. They may not know which configurations are unsafe, which validation steps are required, or what secuAug 4, 2026 2:12 PM

Show HN: Christopher Nolan's Hymn to Athenahttps://jackcushman.org/writing/hymn-to-athena/Hi, HN! Did you know that Chris Nolan's casting of Tom Holland and Zendaya eerily echoes a 3000-year-old dance battle between Athena and Telemachus? I've been working on an art project that says so.If you like, it can be fun to go in blind with a strong research agent to sort out what this really is. Or there is a multi-layered CAPTCHA at the bottom that spells it out increasingly clearly.As a small spoiler: my day job is building reliable public data tools for a library. This piece draws on that background to try to make AI-native art -- fiction by and for humans who use AI agents as a source of truth. At best I hope it works as the kind of joke one Iain M. Banks Culture AI would tell another about humans.Aug 3, 2026 2:45 PM

Show HN: Open-Cowork – an open-source, model-agnostic computer-use agenthttps://github.com/coasty-ai/open-coworkHi HN,We built Open Cowork, an MIT-licensed desktop agent that can operate a computer through screenshots, mouse input, and keyboard input.We started working on this after using cowork-style computer agents for longer tasks. The interaction model was useful, but computer use burns through model calls much faster than chat: take a screenshot, decide what to do, perform an action, inspect the result, and repeat.We wanted to separate that agent loop from any one model or subscription.Open Cowork currently works with local models through Ollama and hosted models through providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, Mistral, and OpenRouter. You can watch the agent’s actions as they happen and interrupt it during a run.The basic loop is:Capture the current screen Send the screenshot and task state to the model Parse the proposed action Execute the mouse or keyboard action Capture the resulting state Continue until completion, interruption, or a safety conditionTwo annoyingly common faiJul 30, 2026 5:54 PM

Show HN: RunNburn – Run a 295B Moe from a 98GB GGUF on a 64GB RAM Desktophttps://github.com/coderredlab/runNburnrunNburn is an Apache-2.0 Rust inference engine for quantized GGUF models that are too big for your fast memory.The core idea: weights stay file-backed (mmap), host residency stays under an explicit byte budget (--ram-budget), and GPU caches are sized from detected free/total VRAM — never from device-name presets. There is no conversion step, no sidecar cache files, no silent requantization. The GGUF on disk is the single source of truth.The result that made me want to post this: Tencent's Hy3 (295B total / 21B active sparse MoE, a single 97.8 GiB Q2_K GGUF) runs on my desktop with 64 GB of RAM and one consumer NVIDIA GPU. The file is larger than RAM and VRAM combined; the selected experts for each token are pulled on demand (the newest path batches O_DIRECT reads through io_uring), while the pretrained routing is left untouched. On the same machine, same prompt, same decode length, a warm-run median gave ~5.5 tok/s decode vs ~2.0 tok/s for llama.cpp.To be upfront about scope: for modeJul 30, 2026 1:30 AM
