Ask HN: Options for an independent AI researcher with strong results?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48689261I'm outside the AI industry, outside of academia, and no easy contacts into relevant areas. My background lends itself to exploring AI & reasonable level of care checking results. I was focusing on building practical useful things for a portfolio to help change industries mid-career, but that has become something a little different now.The exploration has led to an analytical framework that appears useful more broadly for looking at neural representational models. (It's not a model architecture or training method, benchmark, or prompt engineering.) It is a way of analyzing internal representations through the mapping of structure-preserving connections, to transport them to a frame of reference outside the model, exposing some stable relationships, while not being model-specific or require training something else.It has survived attempts at invalidation, generated useful predictions and functioning interventions, and has continued to reveal additional applications the more I do.

My website gets more attacks than human visitorshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48677487I run a small self-hosted website on a Raspberry Pi 4B at home. A few weeks ago I started wondering: who actually visits a website in 2026? Not just humans. Everything. So I built a public observability dashboard on top of GoAccess that separates traffic into four categories: human visitors, search engine crawlers, AI retrieval agents, and automated attacks. The numbers from the last 17 days surprised me:4,523 human visits 6,409 automated attack attempts Thousands of crawler requests from search engines and AI systemsThe attacks aren't sophisticated. They're mostly automated scanners probing for .env files, WordPress admin panels, and cloud credentials — hitting every public IP on the internet regardless of what's actually running there. What I found more interesting was the AI agent behavior. AI retrieval agents (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Amazonbot) behave differently from traditional search crawlers. They hit semantic files aggressively — llms.txt, sitemap.xml, JSON-LD structJun 25, 2026 6:35 PM
