Tell HN: AI is all about the tools (for now)https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46742677It's like having a body. If you don't have a body, you can't do much.Tools that agents have access to are the agent's body. Without them, they can't do anything.For example, an agent without an ability to extract individual functions and check them in isolation, respecting the AST, has a hard time simply re-ordering and re-grouping the functions in a large file.Even a frontier model struggles with this. In the same way that you would struggle to navigate the ocean without a sextant, or struggle to join two pieces of metal without a welder. Without tools, intelligence doesn't get you much in practice.Of course - eventually agents will probably "craft their own tools", all the time, instantly. Many times they already do this, ad hoc bash/pythong/perl (or even sed or awk) scripts to do large replacements, or mechanical changes.But these kind of thigns are still blunt instruments. Not exactly Switch watches or tooling with some elaborate regex and string replacing. If you give AI better to

A new modeling study led by Washington University in collaboration with Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) suggests that, despite this ocean,

Gh Account Permabanned – Help?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46602838I'm reaching out to the HN community because I've just lost something that can't be recreated: my entire GitHub history since I was 14 years old.What happened?My account was permanently banned without warning. After fighting through support tickets, the suspected culprit is a chargeback related to GitHub Copilot that occurred during a fraud dispute on my credit card.When fraudulent charges were reversed, GitHub Copilot charges apparently went with them – and GitHub's automated system interpreted this as intentional fraud.I started in infosec at 14 – hacking, building tools, contributing to open source on GitHub. As a teenager, I contributed work that was featured at DEFCON. I'm still early in my career, and I've been banking on something crucial: that real, tangible contributions to open-source projects would speak louder than any resume ever could. Those contributions were my resume. They were proof of work – thousands of commits, security tools, pull requests, issues, and collaborati

Show HN: app to find the best methods to achieve any goal by reviewing publiclyhttps://truepathfinder.vercel.app/Every content, digital or not, ever created can be more generally thought of as an answer to the question “how to be happy?”. We all want to be happy. Why are we not using anything we consume (e.g. social media) to be happy? Because sometimes we consume it with no goal. If we put the goal first and derive everything from there, we will be happier.I started from that thought and built True Path Finder from it, a tool to facilitate collaboratively finding the truth about what will take a person from one state to another, using a very generic method: 1. Anyone can post any goal they have, or try publicly posted goals. 2. Anyone can try publicly posted methods to achieve that goal, or post their own. 3. Users try the methods and share their experiences as reviews. Repeated reviews are enabled and encouraged, to understand how their experience changes. 4. Users learn about each other’s experiences and may find a better method to achieve their goals.There's a mode called "My Cave" in which y
