Ask HN: Would you use revocable digital signatures to verify AI/Other content?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47848539I’ve been exploring a potential product direction and wanted to sanity check it with people who actually build and ship things.Background: I’ve been working on a system using our core tech that can generate and verify digital signatures, but with a slightly different property than traditional approaches. The signatures are natively revocable. If the underlying model/system shouldn’t be trusted anymore, the signatures can be revoked either through a hard (delete the signing model) or soft (revoke the lease for the signing model) mechanism. I believe this feature is very beneficial on its own, but there are several other interesting properties (no key management, distributed verification, embedded metadata, etc.)Originally this came out of some deeper R&D work we’re doing, but I’ve been thinking this might actually be the most practical “wedge” into the market while we continue that research (and fund the research).One area that’s been interesting is applying this to AI systems.

Show HN: Weekly Log, Old-school journaling social mediahttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47843663Weekly Log is a minimalistic social media website designed for you to do journaling and creative writing.A lot of modern social media apps are set up in a way that addicts and detriments the users, meanwhile profiting off of their data. I really wanted to make a site that doesn't operate in that way.Some of its distinctions: - You can create one post per week. This encourages care and consideration. - Nobody knows who you follow or what posts you react to, besides you and the other user. These stats are personal, so people view your logs free of outside influence. - Posts are rich text-only, no images or videos, in an effort to reduce mental clutter. - Your feed only features users you follow, to give you increased control of what you see, unless you click the "global" checkbox to see all posts.quick demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CTnORsGnL8 overview page: https://www.weekly-log.com/about/overview---I have soft-launched this website, and a handful of my friends have signed up aApr 21, 2026 2:02 AM
