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

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.

Show HN: Docktor – I put live window previews and widgets on the macOS 26 Dockhttps://petercsauer.github.io/docktor-releases/There's dead space on both sides of the Dock. Nobody uses it. So I stuck widgets there. Music with synced lyrics (Spotify + Apple Music), calendar, weather, a Pomodoro timer, system stats. They sit in little glass panels and stay out of the way until you look down.The other thing: hover a Dock icon and macOS shows you the app name. Thanks, I forgot what Safari was called. Docktor replaces that with live thumbnails of every window for that app. Click one, you're there. Same idea powers a Cmd+Tab replacement. Actual window previews instead of a beauty pageant of app icons.I spent a lot of time matching the system look. Same blur radii, same animation timing. It should feel like part of the Dock, not something bolted on.Native Swift. No Electron, no account, no telemetry.First beta goes out next week. Looking for testers: https://petercsauer.github.io/docktor-releases/Testers get lifetime access free. After that it'll be $10 one-time for 20 seats, 60-day trial.
