Ask HN: How can I find trackers I did not place in my stuff?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49226365By sheer luck I found a Tile BLE tracker in a car I purchased recently. I assume it was put there by the previous owner in case of theft and forgotten. It nonetheless has been destroyed. Now I'd really like to know how you defend yourself against this sort of attack?I'm not looking to defend against a 3 letter agency or nation-state, but against any low tech stalker, ex, would be thief, or cop without access to Flock cameras type of adversary. Looking for something that would be able to find BLE trackers regardless of platform/company.I ran a scan using nRF but there is a lot of noise out there and isn't sustainable. Have you found trackers in your stuff? How do you defend against trackers? There are apps out there but it's hard to trust them with the required permissions. Open source would be great. I'm on Android and have "tracker protection" or whatever enabled.Aug 8, 2026 10:11 PM

Show HN: Camera Sun – Fixing the iPhone's Camera Apphttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49225487The most annoying issue with taking photos on iPhone Pros, for me, is the shutter. The physical buttons only work if the phone is in the "right" orientation.This is especially an issue on manual/pro camera apps. Unlike on DSLRs, you can't use multiple fingers on just one hand easily to take photos at particular settings.This is where the idea for my app came from... How could I adjust exposure/focus/iso and shoot with just my thumb? Ie controlling from my hand position whenever I take horizontal or vertical photos. I have designed Camera Sun so that you can swipe over the shutter area, as soon as have your settings adjusted, to just snap your pic.If you want to see it in action without downloading...https://youtu.be/Av4eDk_HCno?is=tiLXIsCB0NgHRLbyThis was a token heavy (ie expensive) project. I burned through multiple limits. Most annoyingly, Cursor defaulted to Grok (without warning) when faced with Fable Limits, and Grok could not manage with the tasks.

AI Video Taking over YouTubehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49224311I was just casually browsing youtube yesterday and noticed a very interesting video about some robot rabbits being used to capture everglade pythons. Started watching - the narrative was very engaging - done by someone in first person who looked like an experienced wildlife researcher and the story narrated through appropriately placed clips of huge pythons and robot bunnies.Watched for around 2 mins of the 10 min long clip - and then it suddenly hit me like a rock - the entire video was AI. The narrator, the voice over, the python clips - all of it was generated by AI. And I pride myself on someone who can spot AI from a mile away, but this was shockingly good.I hit the comments and there it was. Not a single comment reporting this as AI. Showed it to a friend and he couldn't believe it either.And then today. It happenned again. Entirely different topic - Goldman Sachs abandoning New York because of Mamdani. Deep, engaging, first person narration. But everything was AI, and no one seeAug 8, 2026 6:11 PM

Countries, $100k Savings: Where should I live?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49223036Dear All,This may sound weird, and sorry for asking it. I have immense indecision due to childhood trauma and cannot decide on something. I'm 36, M, single, living with my parents in Turkey. I work 100% remotely with a shitty-paying, not-so-demanding job. I'm Turkish and also have Portuguese and Albanian residency. I have dependency issues with my parents which I need to eventually break, but a part of me doesn't want to. I'm emotionally immature due to severe childhood trauma, but I try to function at my best in life.So the dilemma is: where to live? All options work for me actually, so for me the decision ain't loud and clear. My choices are buying (or renting) an apartment for myself either in my home city or any other city (I already have an apartment in my home city that is rented out, paying me around 500 EUR). Or, moving to Portugal to keep my residency active and working the 1300 EUR-paying job from there, where I can either rent or buy property (if I sell my apartment in TurkeAug 8, 2026 4:00 PM

Show HN: A probabilistic programming language with exact inference and loopshttps://github.com/kccqzy/probabilistic-program-inference/blob/master/README.mdThis is a long time project of mine (started in 2018) where I had an idea that it is possible to do exact inference of probabilistic programs even when loops (including infinite loops) are involved. I didn't publicize it too much as performance was too abysmal to be practical, but recently with encouragement from a friend I decided to add more features (support integers!) and polish it up.A probabilistic programming language isn't really a general purpose language; instead it uses a programming language to describe a random process or phenomenon, and the inference tool reports a distribution of outcomes.Here is an example from the README that can be solved with my tool. Suppose there are four cars and eight spaces. Initially the cars are located in the left half of the spaces. At each iteration, each car flips a fair coin. When the coin is heads and if there is a space in front, then the car moves forward by one space. How many iterations are needed to get all four cars in the right haAug 8, 2026 2:39 PM

Show HN: Otaku – A Roleplay Terminal Clienthttps://github.com/enclavum/otakuOtaku is an attempt to build a terminal alternative to SillyTavern (ST), with a focus on: - transparency about what is sent to the LLM (the `/context` command), - automatic incremental summaries that replace the middle of the chat to save context space (browse and edit them with the `/lore` command), - automatic character extraction from the chat (the `/cast` command), - minimal to no under-the-hood prompt injection.InstallOtaku is free and open source (MIT). Install it with uv — `uv tool install otaku` — or with Homebrew: `brew install enclavum/tap/otaku`.Get startedOn first start, you choose a provider and a model: otaku automatically detects local installations of Ollama, oMLX, LM Studio, llama.cpp, and KoboldCpp and lets you pick from their models. Cloud providers (OpenRouter, NanoGPT) are added right there in the picker — enter an API key and their catalogs appear. After you've chosen, you land at the prompt. If nothing is running yet, otaku opens anyway — pick a model later with Aug 8, 2026 11:35 AM

Show HN: Presse – a Rust CLI tool to compress and merge PDFshttps://github.com/SimonBure/presseCompression, merging and image conversion to PDF in one command-line tool.Benchmarked against ghostscript on the same corpus (~20 docs), compression was 7x faster, and 19% better compression (ghostscript even inflated some already-optimized docs).The compression route extracts images, then lossy-compress them. This yield most of the gains compared to bytes optimization and artifact collection.Presse uses lopdf and image crates. Understanding and handling multiple image color-spaces was the most confusing part for me, starting from almost zero knowledge about Rust (learning project!).CMYK images not yet supported, some malformed PDF don't get properly compressed as well.Aug 8, 2026 10:37 AM

Show HN: Hosted LLM Wikihttps://getmana.md/Karpathy-sensei gist hit me directly, and i built end to end hosted version of it, after using ad-hoc version myself for a few months.Whole point is to have agent iterate on same files, and reuse past results. It works quite well.Underneath, it’s a hosted Pi (:love:) agent runtime, some templates, an Astro renderer, a few widgets, and hosting for a Markdown wiki backed by your GitHub repo.Good example of how i use it is travel planning, since i move quite a bit. It has builtin web search, and a few widgets like checklists and live weather, which makes it useful. Another thing which was quite good is Karpathy proposed workflow of ingesting and cross linking papers.Everything written is commited to your own github repo, so you can take it whenever you want, and you get edit history.I’m not an Obsidian user myself, but pointing Getmana at an existing Obsidian vault seems to mostly just work. It's also trivial to ask agent to fix a few sharp edges, if you want to try import.Drop your GitHuAug 8, 2026 8:48 AM

Show HN: Dirblock+envblock – tiny whitelist guards for dirs and env secretshttps://github.com/roku-oss/dirblockAfter I missed getting hit by the LiteLLM attack by 30 minutes, I decided to see what I could do about it and wrote dirblock. It uses fanotify to block access to ~/.ssh, ~/.gpg, etc. with whitelists of trusted programs — everything else is denied.Shortly after, I wrote its spiritual cousin, envblock, which uses eBPF to stop untrusted programs from receiving real values of GH_TOKEN, AWS keys, and similar environment variables (it poisons them instead).I’ve been running both on my own machines for months. They are intentionally small and narrow (67 KB and 119 KB). Setup is usually under an hour once you know which directories and variables matter. Config is TOML, dry-run modes exist, and they fail open / poison rather than try to be a full MAC system.I’ve just been allowed to open source them.https://github.com/roku-oss/dirblockhttps://github.com/roku-oss/envblockHappy to answer questions.Aug 7, 2026 10:43 PM
