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. Collects across 15+ AWS Services to 12 critical controls in the trust-service criteria.Why open-source? Accessibility for people who might have their hands tied choosing between expensive GRC tools. Its also used as a trust-mechanism. Code is right there. A CEO or auditor can read exactly what API calls we make before giving us the role ARN.-> I included a paid reMay 17, 2026 12:02 AM

Show HN: Infinite Swap – Trade a bottle cap up to a househttps://infiniteswap.app/Hey HN,Infinite Swap is a game inspired by Kyle MacDonald’s One Red Paperclip and other bigger-and-better swap stories - you start with a green bottle cap and trade it with other characters in various locations all the way up to a house and beyond.A while ago I got inspired by viral games Infinite Craft and What Beats Rock? and wanted to make my own ‘exploring a LLM’s latent space’ style challenge. After much experimentation this became a trading style game, where the LLM comes up with all the items, trading scenarios and value estimates, which ended up being surprisingly fun and somewhat of a roller coaster to play.I found it was the most intriguing if I separated the item offer from its valuation - so I implemented a pricing oracle called “Sal” who gives this info with his, sometimes snarky, opinion after each trade.The item offer mechanism goes deeper too - each character’s profile is combined with a set of hidden motivations. I then use embeddings and cosine similarity to representMay 16, 2026 3:18 PM

Show HN: A Claude Skill to render resume templates. 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

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: A nibble-oriented CPU in Verilog to build a scientific calculatorhttps://github.com/gdevic/FPGA-CalculatorThe core question: how did HP's scientific calculators actually work at the gate level? That rabbit hole led to building one from scratch.The architectural decision everything else follows from: a decimal calculator should store numbers as BCD — one decimal digit per 4-bit nibble. A standard byte-oriented CPU (Z80, 6502) fights that layout constantly. So I designed a small custom CPU in Verilog where 4 bits is the natural data width and memory is nibble addressable.What the project covers:- Custom CPU: Harvard architecture, 12-bit ISA, 8-state execution FSM, hardware stack guard with a FAULT state for microcode debugging- CORDIC for trig functions, verified to 14 significant digits- Two-pass assembler in Python (~700 lines)- Verilator + Qt framework: same Verilog source runs in simulation, as a desktop GUI debugger, as WebAssembly, and on real hardware- Scripting language on top of the microcode for adding functions without touching hardware- Custom PCB (EasyEDA/JLCPCB), battery, chargMay 15, 2026 5:15 PM

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
