it's just a way to control what gets posted.

This is really cool. Better than draw.io and excalidraw
Re:Decapod: A local, daemonless control plane for AI agents on Wednesday February 11, 2026 @02:04PM (#46979257)
Decapod is a repo-native, agent-first control plane written in Rust.

It’s a local, daemonless kernel your agents invoke on demand: shared state, an audit trail of why changes happened, todos that persist across sessions, and proof-gated “truth” to prevent drift from quietly rotting a codebase.

Git-native. No SaaS. Model- and agent-agnostic.

Re:How Long Does It Take to Merge a PR into VSCode? on Saturday December 13, 2025 @12:32AM (#46252289)
there's a reason multiple forks of VSCode are valued in the billions of dollars. Anything Microsoft related is going to be gatekept by zorg neanderthals that think they're more intelligent than you.
1. quit your job. 2. find a problem. 3. build a solution. 4. repeat steps 2 and 3. 5. die.

Show HN: FlowHawk – ultra fast eBPF network security monitor with ML

https://github.com/alexhraber/flowhawk

I built FlowHawk, a high-performance network security monitor that uses eBPF/XDP to analyze packets in real-time and detect threats like DDoS attacks, port scans, and botnet activity. It’s written in Go and C is used for the eBPF program. Includes ML anomaly detection and a real-time dashboard. Currently over 80% test coverage and I would love your feedback and contributions!

Re:From tensors to consciousness with Apple's MLX on Sunday June 01, 2025 @08:06AM (#44150289)
A runnable exploration of whether structure alone can drive a system toward self-organizing behavior — built from scratch (with a little love from Cursor and Claude) using Apple’s MLX. From gradients and entropy to integration and awareness, it walks the edge between computation and cognition.
