Ask HN: Package Registryhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47959606I've been migrating off-of GitHub and noticed that codeberg does not allow you to set visibility on packages per-repository or even per-package.If your org is public, then so are all packages you publish. If you set this org to private, you cannot have any public projects.I could technically create two orgs, but I would prefer keeping everything under one.This leaves me with the following options:- host my own registry (registry:2 or harbor seem popular, but I am afraid of the traffic it might bring. I could throw it under tailscale, though.)- Keep these pacakges on the GHCR registry, although that doesn't seem like a good long-term solutionWhat's you guys' experience with this? I don't mind self-hosting things, but setting these up seems like a big chore. I already have forgejo runners, because this was easy to set-up in docker+dind (yes, this isnt very secure, but the box its running on has nothing sensitive).Apr 30, 2026 8:04 AM

Ask HN: Anyone feel like they're just opting out of tech these days?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47955552I would love to really understand if I will ever change my outlook now. Until 2019/2020 I was super into tech, gadgets, and keeping up with trends.At some point in the last 5-6 years, I have pretty much adopted an opt-out view on tech.I just don't care anymore, and I don't think it is because I got older... I got into tech in my mid/late 20s so I wasn't a born nerd like most of you guys tinkering with stuff since childhood.The rate as products/services enshittify has intensified, and most products/services I use have so many issues that require workarounds, hacks, or just dealing with terrible UX.I used to spend 10s of thousands of dollars on tech back then, like the latest stuff both software and hardware.These days, I just use whatever free smartphone I get from Verizon for 2-3 years. When I look at old photos I can't really tell the difference between photos from my iPhone 7 and my iPhone 15 or whatever (I don't even know the model).I bought a used M1 Max for $950 and I'm still usinApr 29, 2026 10:27 PM

Show HN: MAItion – Open-source RAG with pluggable connectors and chat UIhttps://github.com/WikiTeq/mAItionHey HN,We wanted to share a new tool we’ve been working on.Even when documentation is well-structured, sometimes it’s hard to find what you need. Information ends up spread across wikis, cloud drives, chat tools, ticketing systems, etc., and search can break down as info grows.mAItion is our attempt to solve that. It’s a way to unify search and retrieval across the systems that teams already use. It's an open-source alternative to tools like Glean and GetGuru, but it’s designed to be flexible, lightweight, self-hostable, and easier to adapt.What it does:- Ingests data from all the connected sources and builds vector and BM25 index- Converts the data into markdown (using MarkItDown, configurable)- Lets you run Hybrid search across the data stored via API or MCP- Lets you chat with the data using Open Web UI as a frontend (bundled) or connect other arbitrary chat UI- Keeps the data fresh using scalable Celery workers (per source schedules)- Deduplicates documents over sources during ingeApr 29, 2026 10:26 PM

There’s a live playground on the site if you want to try it without installing or putting in your connection (I provided one).The goal was to combine a visual workflow with the depth needed for real development work. Most existing MongoDB tools tend to optimize for either beginners or power users, but not both in the same interface.Core features:Query builder that supports full MongoDB query expressiveness + being able to drag and drop elements from the collection to the query builderForm based aggregation builder with synchronized JSON viewSchema visualization and generation toolsGridFS viewer with MP4 streaming support (streaming mp4 was pretty tricky )IDE style split panels and multiple workspacesImport/export transformations (mask/edit fields during export )Tree view ( finding a way to expand recursively thousands of nodes was a challenge)Table view (I had to build my own taApr 29, 2026 3:24 PM

Show HN: I built a 2nd-order PyTorch optimizer for LLMs that runs on 16GB GPUshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47947319Hi HN,I'm Danilo. I've been struggling with the limitations of AdamW when fine-tuning LLMs locally. Second-order optimizers (like Shampoo or SOAP) offer significantly better step-convergence by exploiting Kronecker-factored curvature. The problem? They require O(d^2) memory and O(d^3) compute per layer, which immediately OOMs consumer hardware like a 16GB T4 or RTX 3090.I wanted Shampoo-quality preconditioning on my home setup, so I built SCAO (Sparse Curvature-Aware Optimizer).It's a PyTorch optimizer that acts as a drop-in replacement for AdamW, but it implements a few strict architectural changes to survive on consumer cards:1. Adaptive Rank Selection: Instead of full-rank Kronecker factors, it truncates the eigenspace to retain >=95% of spectral mass. 2. Int8 EMA Quantization: The curvature accumulators are stored in symmetric int8, which yields a 4x memory reduction with zero degradation in perplexity. 3. Quantization Stability: Standard Shampoo usually crashes at step 1 during 4-Apr 29, 2026 12:19 PM

Ask HN: How are you stopping supply chain attacks via compromised dev keys?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47945581GitHub and GitLab will verify that a commit is signed by some key on the user's account. They won't let you require that it be signed by a specific key, like a hardware-backed YubiKey your org issued. So if an attacker compromises a developer's laptop or GitHub account, they can add a new signing key, push commits signed with it, and pass every "Require signed commits" protection in place. The malicious commit lands in the repo with a "Verified" badge.As far as I can tell, neither platform offers:- An org-level allowlist of approved signing keys- A way to reject a push based on the signing key itself- A built-in way to audit who has accessed what (You have to stream and parse the audit logs yourself!)The workarounds I've seen, like re-verifying signatures in CI, blocking deployments on unapproved keys, self-hosting Git with pre-receive hooks, all share the same problem: the bad commit still lands in the repo. CI catches it after the fact.Given recent supply chain attacks, this feels liApr 29, 2026 8:25 AM

A GPT-5.4 bug led to OpenAI banning goblins and raccoonshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47944637Someone found this in OpenAI Codex’s system prompt:"Never talk about goblins, gremlins, raccoons, trolls, ogres, pigeons, or other animals or creatures unless it is absolutely and unambiguously relevant to the user’s query."Goblins, gremlins, trolls, ogres - the fantasy quartet, fine. I get it. Perhaps someone asked Codex to write something and got back a Runescape goblin lore deep-dive.But pigeons? Raccoons? These are deployment-environment animals.If not for raccoons, who’d do the garbage collection?RFC 1149 (IP over Avian Carriers, 1990, an actual protocol - with an actual implementation, in Bergen) puts pigeons squarely inside the systems-engineering canon.“Or other animals or creatures” - full anti-creature agenda. Literally a bajillion dollars get set on fire every hour processing these prompts.Turns out there’s a reason for the ban.
