Ask HN: HN Algolia API returns 400 for queries with points in numericFilters
The HN search help page⁽¹⁾ still documents points>NUMBER as a supported filter, so hopefully this is an unintentional regression.⁽¹⁾ https://hn.algolia.com/api

You should look at Pragmata Pro⁽¹⁾.
Hand-hinted by Fabrizio: ”More than 9000 characters optimized from 9pt to 48pt to guarantee the best possible readability.”
It is the ultimate “programmer’s font” and well worth the money for something you stare at every day and the next best thing to a bitmap font in today’s “Retina resolution” world.
Accept no imitations.

macOS supports emacs-like bindings natively: Ctrl-A/Ctrl-E for line start/end, Ctrl-K to kill, Ctrl-Y to yank, Ctrl-F/Ctrl-B for forward/back, etc.
They are defined in /System/Library/Frameworks/AppKit.framework/Resources/StandardKeyBinding.dict. You can create ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict to augment or override those.
Anything built on AppKit that uses the standard text system (NSTextView, NSTextField, and the field editors that back them) supports those bindings “for free”.
For non-native apps, Karabiner Elements⁽¹⁾ is the answer, using a config like this⁽²⁾.

You hope it’s “far-fetched”.
As noted in this paper⁽¹⁾, ”Publicly releasing model weights is an act of irreversible proliferation. Once weights are released, they can never be recalled.”
Do you really want to risk it on your off-the-cuff reasoning that it’s “far-fetched”?

Re:Relaxin Jailbreak for iOS 17.0-17.3.1 Released
on Wednesday July 29, 2026 @12:27PM (#49099586)
iOS 17.0 was released in September 2023, with support for the new iPhone 15 models.
iOS 17.4 was released in March 2024.
Additional updates to 17.5, 17.6 and 17.7 followed.
Any devices released after the iPhone 15 couldn't run iOS 17.
It makes me wonder how many devices exist that are still running "iOS 17.0 to 17.3.1"...

All of which are easily bypassed in open weight models; see my previous comment about K2.5.
Re:OpenAI's rogue model attack is just the beginning
on Tuesday July 28, 2026 @08:30AM (#49082826)
Classifiers are policy enforced by the process serving the model.
Input classifiers get applied before it reaches the model so somebody hacking an open-weight model would skip this. Streaming classifiers get polled during decoding; hackers delete this check in the sampling loop.
But both are always applied in closed weight models.
Set Llama Guard to 1.0 and nothing is ever unsafe.
Re:OpenAI's rogue model attack is just the beginning

Constitutional classifiers go a long way to reducing unsafe usage in closed-weight models. And like we saw with Fable, closed models can be revoked and classifiers updated when “jailbreaks” are found.
Having the weights gives you the exact affordance an unlearning attack requires, without rate limits.

If nothing else, the article has a really good timeline of the OpenAI/HuggingFace “incident”.
But to me, it underscores the impending cliff of doom from the continued release of open-weight models: there's no cryptographic or architectural way to give someone full weights while withholding the nefarious capabilities those weights encode.
As noted in this paper⁽¹⁾, “publicly releasing weights is an act of irreversible proliferation”.
I’m sure this will be an unpopular opinion on HN, but open weights are the thing that scares me the most about “A.I.”. There is a lot of research in this area⁽²⁾, and I think most of HN is unaware of it or ignores it. Stripping refusals from Kimi K2.5 took under $500 of compute and about 10 hours, taking HarmBench refusals from 100% to 5% while retaining nearly all capability; the resulting model gave detailed chemical-weapons synthesis instructions.
The gate is only as strong as the least-cautious releaser...
