Show HN: GHOSTYPE – AI voice input that learns your writing stylehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46971643Hello HN,I’m the creator of GHOSTYPE.I built this because I wanted a voice input workflow that didn't feel like talking to a chatbot. I wanted something that felt like a "neural extension" of my keyboard.It’s a macOS-native app that sits between your voice and your active window. Here is what it actually does:The Core Input Workflow:Push-to-Talk & Smart Send: Hold a global shortcut to speak. It detects the active app to determine the correct send method (e.g., Cmd+Enter for Slack vs Enter for Discord).Inline Editing: You can format while speaking. Need a line break, a specific spelling, or a bulleted list? You just say it, and it handles the formatting inside the sentence before outputting."Call Ghost": Post-processing commands (translate, polish, expand) are available immediately after speaking, before the text is typed out.The Experimental Stuff (WIP):1. Ghost Twin (Style Transfer): I call this a "Virtual Personality Engine" (a bit pretentious, I know). It analyzes your local writingFeb 11, 2026 6:35 AM

Ask HN: Why is everyone here so AI-hyped?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46965731I get it - LLMs do have some value, but not as much as everyone (especially those from AI labs) is trying to pitch. I can't help thinking that it's so obvious we are almost at the very top of this bubble - but here it feels like the majority of HN doesn't think like that...Yet just in 2026 we had:- AI.com was sold for $70M - Crypto.com founder bought it to launch yet another "personal AI agent" platform, which promptly crashed during its Super Bowl ad debut.- MoltBook-mania - a Reddit clone where AI bots talk to each other, flooded with crypto scams and "AI consciousness" posts. 250,000+ bot posts burning compute for what actual value? [0]- OpenClaw - a "super open-source AI agent" that is a security nightmare.- GPT-5.3-Codex and Opus 2.6 were released. Reviewers note they're struggling to find tasks the previous versions couldn't handle. The improvements are incremental at best.I understand there are legitimate use cases for LLMs, but the hype-to-utility ratio seems completely out of Feb 10, 2026 7:45 PM

ESA awards contracts for Ramses mission to Apophishttps://www.esa.int/Space_Safety/Planetary_Defence/ESA_awards_contracts_for_Ramses_mission_to_ApophisOn 10 February 2026, the European Space Agency (ESA) signed a contract with OHB Italia for the development of the Rapid Apophis Mission for Space Safety (Ramses). Launching in 2028, Ramses will rendezvous with the asteroid Apophis before its rare close encounter with Earth. The mission will provide unique insight into the physical properties and behaviour of asteroids, and strengthen international collaboration and European capabilities in planetary defence.Feb 10, 2026 3:00 PM

Show HN: Small "AI slop" classifier running in a browser extensionhttps://github.com/distil-labs/distil-ai-slop-detectorWe used our distillation platform & a Kaggle dataset to produce a tiny (270M Gemma base) model to classify text into "AI slop"/not classes.It's fun to play with and was fun to build, too.Annoyingly formal, human-written text (e.g. an ML paper I wrote back in 2015) tends to get misclassified (try "Manipulated images lose believability if the user's edits fail to account for shadows. We propose a method that makes removal and editing of soft shadows easy. Soft shadows are ubiquitous, but remain notoriously difficult to extract and manipulate. We posit that soft shadows can be segmented, and therefore edited, by learning a mapping function for image patches that generates shadow mattes. We validate this premise by removing soft shadows from photographs with only a small amount of user input").Feb 4, 2026 4:57 PM

Show HN: Nono – Kernel-enforced sandboxing for AI agentshttps://nono.shHey HNLuke here.I built nono and got it out quick then I expected, in response to the openclaw carnage, but its use is beyond openclaw.The problem: AI agents execute code on your machine. Prompt injections, hallucinations, or compromised tools can read ~/.ssh, exfiltrate credentials, or worse. Application-level sandboxes can be bypassed by the code they're sandboxing.I have been around security for a long old time now (i started something called sigstore a few years back) and have seen this pattern so many times before.The solution pitch: nono uses OS-level isolation that userspace can't escape:Linux: Landlock LSM (kernel 5.13+) macOS: Seatbelt (sandbox_init) After sandbox + exec(), there's no syscall to expand permissions. The kernel says no.What it does:nono run --read ./src --allow ./output -- cargo build nono run --profile claude-code -- claude nono run --allow . --net-block -- npm install nono run --secrets api_key -- ./my-agentFilesystem: read/write/allow per directory or file NeFeb 1, 2026 9:35 PM

Show HN: Self-hosted RAG with MCP support for OpenClawhttps://github.com/2dogsandanerd/ClawRagI've been using OpenClaw to control my home server via WhatsApp, but it couldn't access my documents. Instead of uploading my private contracts to OpenAI, I built ClawRAG – a self-hosted RAG engine that connects to OpenClaw via MCP (Model Context Protocol). Now I can ask "What did the contract say about liability?" and get cited answers, not hallucinations.Most RAG systems are either too complex for a solo dev's home setup or they rely on cloud-hosted vector stores. I needed something that runs in a single Docker container, understands messy PDFs (tables!), and integrates natively as a "tool" for agents rather than just another REST endpoint.## Technical Deep Dive### Why MCP instead of REST? I chose the Model Context Protocol (MCP) because it provides structured schemas that LLMs understand natively. The MCP server exposes `query_knowledge` as a tool, allowing the agent to decide exactly when to pull from the knowledge base vs. when to use its built-in memory. It prevents "tool-drift" Feb 1, 2026 4:45 PM

Show HN: Infinate –O(k)constant-time spatial attention for unlimited LLM contexthttps://github.com/ch1pu/infinateI built infinate, an open-source (Apache 2.0) attention mechanism that places tokens in a 3D semantic space and limits attention to ~50 nearest neighbors via exponential decay + hard cutoff. This gives true O(k) constant complexity: latency ~7–14 ms and memory fixed (1.50 MB in production) even at 10M+ tokens on CPU.Latest update (Jan 20, 2026): Milestone 1.11 – Strafe Jumping Navigation. As a longtime Quake player, I applied real game physics exploits (7/9 validated) — bunny hop, circle jump, warp lanes, momentum accumulation, LOD hopping, etc. — to make semantic traversal ultra-fast, like speedrunning in 3D space.Benchmarks (all CPU, Qdrant vector store): - In-memory mode: - CodeQA (100K): 3.57 ms vs MIT RLM 15,000 ms → 4,198× faster - OOLONG (500K): 4.06 ms vs 35,000 ms → 8,628× faster - BrowseComp+ (10M): 7.18 ms vs 120,000 ms → 16,722× faster - Average speedup: 10,317× vs MIT Recursive Language Models (arXiv:2512.24601) - Production (Docker/Qdrant): Average 533× faster - Memory: CJan 21, 2026 9:24 PM
