Has Science Become a Dangerous Religion? – Alexandre GrothendieckVideo: https://youtu.be/vldYKQB-ZeAIn this interview, legendary mathematician Alexandre Grothendieck speaks as a representative of "Survivre", an international and interprofessional movement started by scientists to tackle the interconnected ecological and political crises facing our world. Grothendieck offers a radical critique of "scientism," warning that it has replaced traditional religions to become one of the most powerful and negative ideological forces today. He explains how scientism acts as a hidden, common foundation for seemingly contradictory systems, from private capitalism to Soviet state capitalism and official Chinese ideologiesRather than relying on top-down political structures or simply swapping a right-wing government for a left-wing one, Grothendieck argues for a deep ethical transformation and a complete change in how human beings relate to one another. He highlights the importance of decentralization and praises the formation of small, local groups operating on

Notes from the trough of sorrow: why we killed our own productIn December 2024, Roundtable was a survey fraud detection company. Our product Alias analyzed typing patterns in open-ended text fields to catch bots and AI-generated responses. It worked and market research firms used it to flag the 30%+ of survey responses that are now AI-generated.Twelve months later, we open-sourced it and built something else.---Matt and I spent five years at Princeton studying how humans and machines process information differently. We've published in Science, PNAS, and Nature Human Behaviour on computational models of cognition. The thing we kept coming back to: humans overshoot mouse targets, slow down on the Stroop task, type with irregular timing. Language production is a cognitive process, not a copy-paste operation. AI agents don't produce these signals. And scaling AI doesn't close the gap. It widens it.Alias captured a narrow slice of this: typing patterns in text fields on surveys. Proof of Human captures the full surface: keystrokes, mouse movement, scr
Show HN: Moongate – Ultima Online server emulator in .NET 10 with Lua scriptingI've been building a modern Ultima Online server emulator from scratch. It's not feature-complete (no combat, no skills yet), but the foundation is solid and I wanted to share it early.What it does today: - Full packet layer for the classic UO client (login, movement, items, mobiles) - Lua scripting for item behaviors (double-click a potion, open a door — all defined in Lua, no C# recompile) - Spatial world partitioned into sectors with delta sync (only sends packets for new sectors when crossing boundaries) - Snapshot-based persistence with MessagePack - Source generators for automatic DI wiring, packet handler registration, and Lua module exposure - NativeAOT support — the server compiles to a single native binary - Embedded HTTP admin API + React management UI - Auto-generated doors from map statics (same algorithm as ModernUO/RunUO)Tech stack: .NET 10, NativeAOT, NLua, MessagePack, DryIoc, KestrelWhat's missing: Combat, skills, weather integration, NPC AI. This is still early — the

Ask HN: Why don't winter gloves have mechanical fingers?Idea: A winter glove where your real hand stays in a warm fist and controls mechanical fingers.In very cold weather, even good gloves often fail and you end up clenching your fist inside them to keep your fingers warm. Mittens work better for warmth, but you lose dexterity.What if a glove was designed around the fact that your hand wants to stay mostly closed in the cold?The idea is a heavily insulated mitten where your real hand stays in a relaxed fist for warmth. Instead of your own fingers doing the work, there are mechanical fingers on the outside of the glove that you control using small movements, pressure, or muscle signals from your clenched hand.Even in a fist, your hand is still very functional. You can vary finger pressure, tendon tension, thumb movement, and forearm muscle activation. Those small signals could be used to control external mechanical fingers through pressure sensors, cables, or EMG sensors.The benefits:* Fingers stay together and warm like a mitten* No need t
Show HN: Neko.js, a recreation of the first virtual petHi HN,Best wishes for the new year!Here is a late Christmas present: I rebuilt Neko [1], the classic desktop cat that chases your mouse, as a tiny, dependency-free JavaScript library that you can embed directly in your webpages (for example I put it on my personal blog).Live demo: https://louisabraham.github.io/nekojs/GitHub: https://github.com/louisabraham/nekojsDrop-in usage is a single script tag: This is a fairly faithful recreation of Neko98: same state machine, same behaviors, same original 32×32 pixel sprites. It follows your cursor, falls asleep when idle, claws walls, and you can click it to cycle behavior modes.What made this project interesting to me is how I built it. I started by feeding the original C++ source (from the Wayback Machine) to Claude and let it "vibe code" a first JS implementation. That worked surprisingly well as a starting point, but getting it truly accurate required a lot of manual fixes: rewriting movement logic, fixing animation timing, handling edge c
Show HN: Automated license plate reader coverage in the USABuilt this over the last few days, based on a Rust codebase that parses the latest ALPR reports from OpenStreetMaps, calculates navigation statistics from every tagged residential building to nearby amenities, and tests each route for intersection with those ALPR cameras (Flock being the most widespread).These have gotten more controversial in recent months, due to their indiscriminate large scale data collection, with 404 Media publishing many original pieces (https://www.404media.co/tag/flock/) about their adoption and (ab)use across the country. I wanted to use open source datasets to track the rapid expansion, especially per-county, as this data can be crucial for 'deflock' movements to petition counties and city governments to ban and remove them.In some counties, the tracking becomes so widespread that most people can't go anywhere without being photographed. This includes possibly sensitive areas, like places of worship and medical facilities.The argument for their legality rest

Show HN: Tommy – Turn ESP32 devices into through-wall motion sensorsHi HN! I would like to present my project called TOMMY, which turns ESP32 devices into motion sensors that work through walls and obstacles using Wi-Fi sensing.TOMMY started as a project for my own use. I was frustrated with motion sensors that didn't detect stationary presence and left dead zones everywhere. Presence sensors existed but were expensive and needed one per room. I explored echo localization first, but microphones listening 24/7 felt too creepy. Then I discovered Wi-Fi sensing - a huge research topic but nothing production-ready yet. It ticked all the boxes: could theoretically detect stationary presence through breathing/micromovements and worked through walls and furniture so devices could be hidden away.Two years and dozens of research papers later, TOMMY has evolved into software I'm honestly quite proud of. Although it doesn't have stationary presence detection yet (coming Q1 2026) it detects motion really well. It works as a Home Assistant Add-on or Docker container
