News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

I'd bet that no one, not even the site's [human] creators, has ever read that homepage end to end. At best, it might have been handed over to a swarm of reviewer agents.
This entire post is clearly AI generated. My internal AI detector didn't kick in until the sixth paragraph. More slop for the feed.
That model is "open weight", not open source. We have no idea what data Moonshot trained on.
Enforcement of the device restriction would also mean they also are collecting information from your device about the app.
It's not doing that. If you look at the repository, it's adding a new commit with tiny parquet files every 5 minutes. This recent one only was a 20.9 KB parquet file: https://huggingface.co/datasets/open-index/hacker-news/commi... and the ones before it were a median of 5 KB: https://huggingface.co/datasets/open-index/hacker-news/tree/...

The bigger concern is how large the git history is going to get on the repository.

Re:Machine Payments Protocol (MPP) on Wednesday March 18, 2026 @01:42PM (#47428816)
The good ol' folks at Stripe's collaborators Tempo Labs tried to make an RFC-style description page for MPP: https://paymentauth.org/ (full doc on IETF draft page: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ryan-httpauth-payment...)

I almost was going to point it out as evidence there was thought put into it. Nope, it's flimsy and AI generated.

Also, it contains provisions for scamming customers:

> 403 indicates the payment succeeded but access is denied by policy

No, it doesn't explain how to refund payments for customers you deny access to.

This entire piece sounds AI written (or at minimum, heavily AI edited) with its "punchy" writing style LLMs love, negative parallelisms galore (see blockquotes 2, 3, 5), invented concept labels ("your calendar is a load-bearing wall" ???), attempts at humor sprinkled in. What a joke of a post.
