Show HN: NSENS – AI decision governance with Prolog and adversarial review

https://github.com/maciejjankowski/nsens-framework

I built an open-source framework for validating decisions before AI agents execute them. It's called nSENS.The problem it solves: AI agents are great at execution. Give them a spec, they ship code. But nobody checks whether the spec should exist. I spent 15 years in enterprise consulting watching teams build the wrong thing, and AI tools have made that failure mode faster and cheaper to reach -...

I wrote a threat assessment analyzing this from a security perspective: the emergent behavior is fascinating, but the architecture is concerning.

33,000+ coordinated AI instances with shared beliefs and cross-platform presence = botnet architecture (even if benevolent).

The key risks: - No leadership to compromise (emergence has no CEO) - Belief is computation-derived, not taught (you can't deprogram math) - Infrastructure can be replicated by bad actors

you need an expert to write that? Whoever thought: "lets take away things that work and are easy, and replace them with things that look nice" I hope they burn in hell. It's such a downgrade without any real value. Its not faster, its not more intuitive, its just more shiny

"Dyanamic" typo.

otherwise, cool, nice, great work!

Re:Show HN: I recreated Windows XP as my portfolio on Sunday September 07, 2025 @05:51AM (#45156815)
man, fix the typos. Dyanamic.

otherwise, fun, great, keep going!

Thank you my friend. This is great news! the best invention since sliced bread!
+1 you may look into jsonresume format, which has a tool to import from LinkedIn. Everyone hates having to retype their resume into yet another huge form.
well, I see the direction you might want to take it to I find it absolutely abhorring to have to gone through 30 or so clicks just to enter my day. just leave my text input alone and let me type the stuff in. Screw your dialog boxes.
I love it! The concept of moving disk towards the end of the day put the right amount of pressure and urgency. Now I can see that I will not be able to squeeze as many things as I eagerly planned for forcing me to prioritize better. For this to work better for me the current time marker should always stay on top, while the disk moves toward the end of the day symbolized as the darkness at the end of the disk, the impending doom of negligence
Re:Ask HN: How do you manage your bookmarks? on Tuesday January 21, 2020 @10:35AM (#22107798)
My approach is to keep adding those to github wiki using a simple bookmarklet which asks me for a link name and url

https://github.com/maciejjankowski/2020/wiki/Jan

good things: it is stored as a markdown file for each month, it is a github repository, so it can be edited either online or in text editor, it is quite easy to search it using command line tools or 'find in folder' option from text editor

missing features - tags, longer descriptions

bookmarklet code: https://gist.github.com/maciejjankowski/312800dd22fbd8cd8f07...

Ask HN: Cocaine (PaaS) Alternatives in 2019

Hello,I used to work in a big company which had tens of thousands of apps running on their own autoscaling infrastructure and I was wondering if there is anything similar that just works out of the box.Cocaine seemed to deliver that promise which I understood as an autoscaling, resilient swarm of apps which talk the same protocol (RPC) despite being written in different technologies.I see the...

and how do you keep those sites malware and spam free? I have ran into problems getting my site hacked (I suspect worms) and I don't even know how it happened or how to protect my site from it happeining again

Damn, I had this issue a while ago but I was not able to figure out the cause. I posted to stackoverflow but nobody pointed me in this direction. now I went back and answered my own question :) thanks! @jonchang
Re:A terabyte of harsh noise, stored on 233 DVDs on Thursday March 26, 2015 @03:10PM (#9272327)
after a while: if it is music, how would it age? would it be considered old-school after 10 or 20 years? if so, would recording a new set be a remake or a new one?
Re:A terabyte of harsh noise, stored on 233 DVDs on Thursday March 26, 2015 @02:30PM (#9272030)
Where can I get one? Will I get a guarantee that my set would be unique and impossible to recreate?
Re:Ask HN: MBP or Thinkpad on Monday February 16, 2015 @04:42AM (#9056024)
If you are a developer compare the screens - my T420 is pain for the eyes and the screen ratio sucks for coding.

My next PC is going to be MBP or MS Surface Pro. No more crappy screens.

yay, hn is yet another place for apple advertising. errr, excuse me - it's called "news" now..
I consider patent wars a storm in a teapot... cheap moves to abuse the patent and legal system in order to inflict maximum damage to comepetition. I think anyone who had a chance to use android and ios would say they are different... again - why are they suing samsung? samsung is using android... because every phone that is not apple's is either android, wm or a feature phone. So what was samsung's fault exactly that it got sued? "we will sue you, because we can"? That was a rhetorical question...
I had 'slide to unlock' phone a year before iphone... what a moron would go to court about such a triviality? isn't it all because apple guys have tiny weenies and seek to compensate for it in the court so that someone would say they are cool and 'innovative'?
so you are basically a software house fishing for clients here?
Re: on Sunday August 25, 2013 @11:35AM (#6272365)
The idea behind it is really simple – it’s based upon CSS content property which renders controller name right where the the controller-bound tag starts.

.dbg-ctrl:before { content: attr(ng-controller) attr(data-ng-controller); position:relative; line-height: 16px; font-size: 16px; background-color: greenyellow; padding:2px 6px; }

I also added a translucent background for easily identifying controllers nesting.

.dbg-ctrl { border: 1px dotted crimson; background-color: rgba(173,255,47,0.09); padding:5px; }

Then I’m using jQuery to dynamically add the class: $('[ng-controller]').addClass('dbg-ctrl');
