Ask HN: What's the endgame of the AI comments buried in every post?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49362305A lot of submissions nowadays have a few LLM comments (whether directly written by an agent, or human with a LLM I don't know), often downvoted and sitting at the end of the comment section. No-one even bothers to call them out anymore, it's just part of the landscape. Just wondering why ? What's the point for these people ?

Show HN: Pack AI and scientific models as self-contained boxeshttps://github.com/suffro/scrollcaseHi! I've been working on an open-source project called Scrollcase. I started this cause moving Python or ML projects between machines is often painful. You need the right Python version, libraries, native builds, model files, and so on. So instead of making someone rebuild a Python environment on their machine, Scrollcase packages everything once, including Python, locked dependencies, code, and model files.Then they can verify it, unpack it, and run it. No Python install, no pip install, no Docker, and no dependency to mantain. You just define what goes inside, lock the dependencies, and build a portable, self-contained, verifiable package that's ready to run.Would love feedback from people who had to package Python, ML, or scientific environments for machines they don't control.

Show HN: MCP app for Android, drive apps via AI (no root, PII redacted locally)https://github.com/danielealbano/android-remote-control-mcp/Hi HN, author here.Android Remote Control MCP is an MCP server that runs directly on your Android phone (no root, no ADB, no computer in the middle) and lets an AI agent drive real apps the way a human would: it reads the screen through the accessibility tree, taps, types, scrolls, optionally also screenshots.I spent a lot of time optimizing tool usage and token consumption, and making it work not only via local harnesses but also via Claude.ai / Claude Desktop and chatgpt.com (if you have the proper account, the app acts as its own OAuth server, you approve connections with a code on the phone).The newest part is Privacy Mode, and it exists because after an earlier release someone told me in plain terms they'd never use it because, rightfully, they didn't want the LLM provider to see everything on their screen! So now a combination of a small local model plus deterministic detectors identify personal information (emails, phone numbers, credit cards, IBANs, national IDs, English names,

Show HN: Dotproject – The project state standard for AI agents and humanshttps://github.com/jasonnam/dotprojectWe are already getting too slow to micromanage agents on individual features.Trying to review and steer every tiny task is quickly becoming the main bottleneck. Managing at the milestone and goal level still feels like something humans can realistically keep up with—at least for now...I built the dotproject skill around this idea. Curious how others here are structuring agent workflows as execution speeds keep outpacing human oversight.Theoretically, once goals and milestones are defined and enough AI agents are attached, we should be able to track and drive progress toward them in real time.

Show HN: Anonymous age verification with passkey-powered encryptionhttps://loginwithone.com/This project has been kicking around in my head since I first heard about the webauthn PRF extension in early 2024. I've slowly chipped away at it since, and finally got things to a shareable state over the summer thanks to a very fun parental leave. Headed back to work tomorrow, so I figure there's no time like the present.tldr: A client-held encryption key derived during passkey authentication encrypts all sensitive user data prior to persistence so that only the user is able to decrypt and reuse that data on their device. This allows short-lived, privacy-preserving age proofs to be issued to requesting applications (18+, no PII shared) without requiring users to re-upload their documents. The SSO user experience is built on top of the OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code Flow.https://loginwithone.com - demo video + high-level architecture + FAQI also made the parody demo apps from the video public if anyone wants to play around with the user experience:https://demo.brainrot.loginwithone.com
