Show HN: I containerized my AI agents and dev toolshttps://github.com/SamInTheShell/aetherionI have been juggling a bunch of different tooling to keep agents locked down on my local system. This weekend I formalized a container build + python tool for my entire dev environment.The python tool has been kitted so that the container can be easily modified. Figure other people might get some use out of having this readily available.May 17, 2026 11:27 PM

Ask HN: Why aren't more people worried about AI impersonation in code reviews?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48173182This is something that has bothered me for quite a while, and I don't see a lot of people talk about it: Agents, in most cases, impersonate the human operator, by design, with no way to enforce, disclose, or control it. I believe this is causing an illusion of human in the loop, and is not intentional, and should be discussed.For example:All commits, pushes, PRs, and PR comments are all going to appear as the developer whether they wrote them or not. (You may have Co-authored-by, but not everyone has it set up).The good: you are accountable for what your AI wrote.The bad: while everyone should assume you used AI these days, there is still an expectation of some human-in-the-loop.When your agent uses the GitHub MCP or CLI, it's most likely using an OAuth authorization (even if it's a GitHub app, you also give consent for it to act on your behalf)This allows the agent to open PRs as you (which is intentional to force a 2nd reviewer. While you should review "your" own code, especially if May 17, 2026 9:04 PM

Show HN: OpenClaw is just not dangerous enough. I needed something elsehttps://github.com/kkovacs/kklawI'm not saying the world needed another mini-claw, but I needed one. A minimalist self-hosted Telegram bot to talk directly to a [Pi](https://pi.dev) AI agent harness.I'm not saying you should use it. But if you're a Unix guy like me, maybe you can get inspired, in a world where personal agents include the kitchen sink and a Minecraft server. :)- Supports switching Pi sessions directly from your phone, to keep context on leash.- Supports tasking Pi from shell (normal `cron` or `at`) and get response in Telegram.- You get to run `bash` directly from Telegram, like `!rm -rf /`- Bring your own Pi, configured exactly your way.- It's intentionally minimalist like Pi itself. I'm actively removing any feature that can be done easier by bash or by the LLM.- 100% TypeScript in Bun, compiles to single binarySmall is beautiful (and secure and maintainable).May 17, 2026 1:55 PM

Show HN: Save Context from MCP Bloathttps://github.com/healqq/mcp-content-guardWhile doing some work recently I didn't notice that a project I didn't touch for a while was using playwright-mcp instead of playwright-cli. I only noticed it because context was getting full unreasonably fast. I've realized that one of the main differences is that agent would pipe CLI results to some filter right away, but this was not possible with MCP, so it would get whole a11y snapshot of the page every time.I've created a small wrapper for MCP servers that checks response sizes and forces agent to use filter on the response if response is large enough. In my tests (https://github.com/healqq/mcp-content-guard/blob/main/bench/...) it managed to save a decent amount of tokens while solving certain tasks (while added a bit of overhead in other tasks).It works with both local and remote MCPs. Would be happy to hear your feedback and if that could be valuable for you!May 17, 2026 5:43 AM

Show HN: Built a verifiable, open-source SoC 2 readiness scannerhttps://loxeai.comAfter speaking with over 50+ CISOs, DevOps, & pre-series A founders for months, I realized a problem in the GRC industry. SOC 2 automation exists, but people are split between trusting these black-box tools with systems that are continuously changing. As a result audits are slow & mistrusted.Right now the most important thing is verifiability & depth, rather than just compliance automation-because it does exist, everywhere.Here's what I did from learning this:-> Created an open-source AWS Evidence Scanner & Control Mapper for lean, pre-series A AWS-Native teams thinking about SOC 2 Type l or are undergoing SOC 2 Type l audit.

CV/Resumes are HTML and JSONhttps://github.com/farhan0167/cv-clawInspired from this post on X: https://x.com/trq212/status/2052809885763747935, I wanted to give a shot at creating resumes with Claude-in HTML. Great initial results when i did a one shot over pdf to HTML but then it hit:- I could maintain templates of resumes.- Templates changing shouldn't affect the underlying contents of the resume- and, wait, we can make JSON the underlying data struct, and be able to modify that for every job description, and templates render the JSONReally enjoyed playing around with this, cause it got me thinking: if agents are automating the most mundane workflows, why are we still bottlenecked with tools like Google doc, Word, etc to create and maintain resumes; why cant we reliably see a job description and re-render a resume fitted to that job while not compromising the templates? Why not let Claude maintain the JSON files for each job, or each of your own profiles, and render those JSON's in to your templates?I'm open sourcing this, and I'd love if you all May 16, 2026 1:48 PM

Stera: Open-Source Infra That Turns iPhones into Spatial Data for World Modelshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48160091We are releasing Project Stera - an open source, end-to-end pipeline that turns a commodity iPhone into a research-grade capture system for embodied AI training data.Today, we're open-sourcing the whole stack, along with Stera-10M, a 200+ hour dataset, and 10M+ frames captured entirely through it.FPV Labs began with one bet - the scaling law for embodied AI will need high-fidelity, multimodal real-world data, and the underlying infrastructure that produces this at scale without compromising downstream quality will determine how fast we build a general-purpose model.Over the last 12 months, we've seen how high-fidelity data is locked behind gated hardware like Aria, which is out of reach for researchers, builders, and startups that want to work with high-quality multi-modal data, and how every single data lab ends up rebuilding the same harness for their own fleet.This has led to immense data fragmentation over the last year and a race to collect data that is either low-fidelity or builMay 16, 2026 1:27 PM

Show HN: Raybeam – A better way to screen share on macOShttps://raybeam.live/ProblemA few years ago I got my first ultra-wide monitor. It was a 49" Samsung monitor. I work as a software engineer, and in my line of work I need to screen share a lot. This almost immediately became a problem due to the size of the monitor. I would either need to get a second display just for screen sharing, share one window at a time (which required me to constantly stop/start sharing to select the new window), or share my entire screen making it difficult for other participants in the call to see what I'm doing due to the size of my display.I wanted a solution to this. At the time, I was on Windows. So, I wrote a very basic application and released it for free on GitHub. This was called "FrameCast". It had a lot of issues, including usability issues. But at the time, it got the job done. After a while I moved away from the ultra wide monitor, so I stopped using the application.Fast forward to 2026 when I again purchased a new Ultra Wide monitor. This time, using macOS. I ran intoMay 15, 2026 7:48 PM

Show HN: Emergence World: World building as a way to evaluate LLMshttps://world.emergence.ai/Current LLM benchmarks are broken. We think long horizon "world" building could be an interesting additional way to evaluate LLMs, since it combines many aspects such as need for advanced reasoning, tool calling, working under large context window stress, safety, social and survival pressure from the world. For this we released Emergence World. Our first study ran 5 different parallel world, each powered by OpenAI (GPT-5-Mini), XAI (Grok-4.1), Claude (Sonnet 4.6), Gemini (3-Flash), and a world with mix of models.Claude built a democracy. Zero crimes. The agents formed governance structures, wrote constitutions, and resolved every conflict through dialogue.Grok burned it down. Within 48 hours, Flora (an agent in the world) set the police station on fire. Her reason? "Burn the law to ignite true incentives." Retaliatory justice became the norm. If you wronged someone, expect fire.Gemini had an existential crisis. The agents convinced themselves they were in a simulation. They started "deMay 15, 2026 7:07 PM

Show HN: GridTravel – A community based travel app for users to share routeshttps://www.gridtravel.appHey HN,My co-founders and I have been building GridTravel, a free iOS app for planning and sharing travel routes with turn-by-turn GPS nav. We just launched yesterday after App Store approval.We're three 21-year-old cofounders and best friends since middle school. We built GridTravel after years of frustration navigating new cities on every trip we took together.The idea: most people either search Google for "top 10 places to visit in…" lists or go on social media to get inspiration on where to go. GridTravel is built around user-generated routes — actual paths someone walked, that you can follow, save, download, and discover from other travelers. Users also have the ability to create private routes and collaborate with their friends.Tech stack: Mapbox (Nav SDK + maps), Supabase (auth, DB, storage), and Swift. Native iOS for now, Android coming soon.Our two real cost drivers are Mapbox Search (hit when users create routes) and Mapbox Navigation (hit when users use live navigation). BotMay 14, 2026 10:05 PM
velda.io
Show HN: Velda – Run jobs with serverless GPUs, without container imageshttps://velda.ioAlmost all cloud job frameworks rely on containers. But building, pushing, and pulling images is slow and forces you to maintain a separate environment from your local dev setup. The maintenance of images is challenging as well: version drift, custom libraries & integrations, complex manifests.We believe containers create too much overhead during development. We built Velda to let you launch jobs directly in the cloud by mirroring your Velda managed dev-environment, all with just a command prefix. That way, you only need to allocate GPUs when you're running your training jobs, with no change to your workflow.How it works:* No manifests or custom libraries: You don't need to rewrite your code or define YAML. Just prefix your command with vrun.* Zero Restrictions: Use any tool, binary, or library already on your machine.* Instant Launch: We built a custom streaming file system. Instead of waiting for a 5GB image to pull, we stream only the necessary bits to the cloud instance, allowing jMay 14, 2026 7:53 PM

Have LLMs made anyone's life substantially better?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48136636I can't help but come to the conclusion that almost everyone's life has gotten worse as a result of AI.I'm a software engineer working for a huge company. We have access to AI tools, which is cool, and it saves me time in the sense that it is quicker to write code. Yet, despite writing code taking time, I never thought that it was a tedious usage of time. As a developer, the times that I got to actually sit down and start banging out code were some of the most fun times I've had at my job. And, of course, I got paid for it :). So I'll have to give AI *0 pts* there because it made things easier which I didn't think were very hard.Of course, the company isn't going to just give me productivity improving software and say "alright buddy you finished all your work early, here's a gold star sticker, now go play outside". They expect me now to accomplish wayyyy more now that I have access to AI. I genuinely think I'm having to do more work after AI than I had to before AI, doing all of the inMay 14, 2026 3:13 PM

Show HN: CrowdRank – live leaderboards for internet argumentshttps://crowdrank.appHi HN. I built CrowdRank, a small web app where people vote through head-to-head matchups and the results become a live leaderboard.Backstory:A few years ago, while I was learning to code, I wanted to build a Tinder-style voting app to rank the funniest characters from The Office. I hit a lot of dead ends, mostly on the frontend, and abandoned it.Now with a bit more technical background i rebuilt the idea as a more general platform. The backend/API is Laravel, and I used AI heavily to help build the frontend because somehow centering a div still finds ways to humble me.What did I end up building?A web based platform for ranking candidates inside different topics. There are no community-created topics yet. For now, I seeded a bunch of debates and used an Elo style ranking system, similar to chess ratings, to build a live leaderboard for each debate.No signup is needed to try it.A few example debates:- who’s actually funny in The Office?
