AI policies that don't suckhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49112835Hi folks,I don’t have a blog, but I have some thoughts about our current AI moment. I’m hearing a lot of good and bad ideas about how to organize around safety and paced development, but I haven’t heard these ideas yet and wanted to share them here in hopes that some discussion might take place or someone with reach steals them.1. Much of the xrisk discussion hinges on embodied AI. Robots with arms and legs are robots that can kill, displace jobs, etc. All manufacturing of such robotics should come along with a mandatory registration, annual inspections, and functional kill switch that anyone can operate like a fire alarm.2. Rapid model advancement, especially recursive self-improvement, sounds like the center of risk but it really isn’t. A merely more sophisticated model doesn’t make it inherently have more agency. It is the harnesses and people who operate them that facilitate behaviors that can be detrimental. I propose that model steering be a profession that states are required to

Show HN: Ariadne – reason about your codebase on a walk, run, or commutehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48369742Ideas, thoughts, questions about code architecture often occur to me asynchronously during my morning commute, during a run, during walks - when I am away from my desk. Something about motion and having your mental RAM free'ed up after a night's sleep.Infact I often find the highest quality thinking and work for me happens when I am away from my desk and placed in a more mobile environment. I have been working in Robotics for the past few years with a codebase where robot behavior was buried deep in 1000s of lines of imperative code. One of the biggest contributions to the space was developing a behavior-tree/compositional-recipes style framework for writing robotic behaviors. I still remember driving to work noodling the thought about - how Javascript's promise chaining looked so elegant and what a similarly flavored robotic DSL might look like. After 2-3 design attempts, I landed on an elegant architecture in writing robotic behavior. New robotic skills could be developed in 40 lines

Show HN: Claude Code skills that build complete Godot gameshttps://github.com/htdt/godogenI’ve been working on this for about a year through four major rewrites. Godogen is a pipeline that takes a text prompt, designs the architecture, generates 2D/3D assets, writes the GDScript, and tests it visually. The output is a complete, playable Godot 4 project.Getting LLMs to reliably generate functional games required solving three specific engineering bottlenecks:1. The Training Data Scarcity: LLMs barely know GDScript. It has ~850 classes and a Python-like syntax that will happily let a model hallucinate Python idioms that fail to compile. To fix this, I built a custom reference system: a hand-written language spec, full API docs converted from Godot's XML source, and a quirks database for engine behaviors you can't learn from docs alone. Because 850 classes blow up the context window, the agent lazy-loads only the specific APIs it needs at runtime.2. The Build-Time vs. Runtime State: Scenes are generated by headless scripts that build the node graph in memory and serialize it t

Show HN: Moongate – Ultima Online server emulator in .NET 10 with Lua scriptinghttps://github.com/moongate-community/moongatev2I'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

Show HN: Maestro App Factory – FOSS Agentic Engineering Orchestratorhttps://github.com/SnapdragonPartners/maestroHi HN,For the last few months I’ve been working on Maestro App Factory, a free and open source tool for using AI agents to build software. It’s not a generic orchestrator: it implements agents with distinct roles and functionality, organizes them into a team, manages their work, and enforces highly opinionated tooling, workflows, and constraints in software.The core ideas are simple:- LLMs act like human engineers. LLMs are trained on human artifacts and exhibit human-like behaviors (including blind spots). Rather than asking a single model or agent to design, implement, and evaluate everything, Maestro structures systems more like high-performing human teams.- Heterogeneous models write better code. Models from different providers (e.g. Google, OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral) are trained differently, have different strengths, and catch different errors. Using multiple models with settings optimized to specific roles has, in my experience, consistently produced better results than reusing

Show HN: Voicetest – open-source test harness for voice AI agentshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47048811We've been building voice agents across Retell, VAPI, LiveKit, and Bland, and the testing story is... rough. Every platform has its own config format, there's no shared way to define what "correct" looks like, and most teams end up doing manual QA by literally calling their agent and listening. So we built voicetest.voicetest is an open source (Apache 2.0) test harness that works across voice AI platforms. You import your agent graph from any supported platform (or define one from scratch), write test scenarios with expected behaviors, and voicetest simulates conversations and evaluates them with LLM judges that score each turn 0.0-1.0 with written reasoning. It also ships global compliance evaluators for things like HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and brand voice consistency. The core abstraction is an AgentGraph IR that normalizes across platform formats, so you can convert between Retell, VAPI, LiveKit, and Bland configs and test them all the same way.Quick start:``` uv tool install voicetest voice

Show HN: Neko.js, a recreation of the first virtual pethttps://github.com/louisabraham/nekojsHi 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
