Trenchboom is great!

Shameless plug but I ended up making this q3 map using a custom Trenchboom MCP:

New comment by Sajarin in "Homomorphically encrypted CIFAR-10 inference in 200ms"

Sajarin — Fri, 17 Jul 2026 19:45:37 +0000

They have a bit more info on their announcement blog post[0]

> Belfort today released the "so far" CIFAR demo, an encrypted implementation of ResNet-20, a popular model for image classification. It outperforms recent SOTA by 3x with a total latency of less than 200ms

Not many details on how they've done this, so I'm a bit skeptical. Fast HE is a holy grail.

> Belfort's image classification is built on top of its upcoming GPU library, Cyclops. It comes with several optimizations that make Cyclops extremely fast on Encrypted AI workloads.

Looks like a lead up to an upcoming library release

New comment by Sajarin in "Grok Build is open source"

Sajarin — Thu, 16 Jul 2026 00:16:14 +0000

Just blogged about this here[0] but at least they're not doing the usual canned PR response surrounding this.

Folks are already building on top of it:

thedavidweng/gork-build[1] — rebrand grok→"gork", stripped vendor telemetry, opt-out-only data retention, blocks x.ai auto-update. A "VSCodium-style privacy fork."

DigiGoon/digi-grok-build[2] — "dgrok" multi-provider CLI, builds from source instead of x.ai CDN.

victor-software-house/open-grok[3] — "opened to every provider."

LukaMucko/grok-build[4] — extra_body support for provider-specific request fields.

RapidAI/grok-build-desktop[5] — Tauri desktop GUI client.

mazdak/grok-build[6] — theming (Catppuccin).

thomas9120/grok-build-archival[7] — Windows telemetry-disable script.

saqoah/grok-build[8] — Kotlin MemoryBackend.

New comment by Sajarin in "Don't post generated/AI-edited comments. HN is for conversation between humans"

Sajarin — Wed, 11 Mar 2026 20:48:51 +0000

People aren't good at detecting AI generated/edited comments, so unsure how effective this policy will be. Though I guess there are still some obvious signs of AI speak like emdashes and sycophantic (it's not X, it's Y!) speech.

Bit of a shameless plug but I wrote a HN AI comment detector game[0] with AI and most of my friends and fellow HN users who tried it out couldn't detect them.

Wish this post got more of a response, so thanks so much for giving it a try! Hope it was at least fun (and maybe a bit horrifying) :)

psychosis.hn is a daily game. Every day we fetch three stories from a previous front page of HN, each with 5-7 AI comments threaded into the discussion. They have personas, reply to real people, and sometimes have real comments reparented underneath them.
