How do you guys manage regressions as a whole with every new model update? A massive test set of e2e problem solving seeing how the models compare?

This has happened before. It was called anon kode.

In light of these nonstop supply chain attacks: Tonight I created /supply-chain-audit -- A simple claude code skill that fetches info on the latest major package vulnerability, then scans your entire ~/ and gives you a report on all your projects.

It's a bit janky right now but I'd be interested to hear what people think about it.

I'm not hustling enough to be honest.

If simply saying "Hi, would you be interested in covering this?" characterizes me as an annoying hustler then you know what I'll take it.

I have a story with Benji.

Last year I went viral, and Benji was the first person to interview me. It was a really cool experience, we chatted via Twitter dms, and he wrote a piece about my work - overall did a decent job.

Then, 6 months later a separate project I was adjacent to was starting to pick up steam. I reached out to him asking if he wanted to cover us. No response.

Then, tech crunch wrote an article on our project.

I reached to Benji again saying "Hey would you like to chat again, now we have some coverage?" And he finally responded, but said he couldn't report on me because he had a directive that he could only report on things that didn't have any prior or pre-existing coverage (?)

I thought that was rather strange, especially since we already had built up a relationship.

I don't really have a moral or lesson to this story, other than that journalism can be rather opaque sometimes.

Oh one other tip for anyone reading this - if you do ever get reached out to by journalists, communicate in writing, not a phone call so you can be VERY precise in your wordings.

America / Israel's partnership goes a lot deeper, it started in the cold war, and it's quite interesting. It heightened significantly after 9/11, where Israel spied (and still does) on all of America's enemies to prevent another 9/11, doing a lot of dirty work, giving intel as part of a partnership. I can't imagine both countries ever wanting to get rid of that partnership. This part of the equation is often left out in the conversation, presumably because it's hush hush ultimately.

I worked on a puzzle like this roughly 2 years ago from Anthropic. I did the first half, the easier part of the CTF, and my friend did the second half, the more technical ML stuff. We both got interviews at Anthropic, which was cool - I wasn't anywhere close to nailing an interview at Anthropic but it gave me a lot of confidence to end up going all in on tech, which paid off greatly.

Given the rise of AI agents, I created this concept art of what a CAPTCHA trivial for LLMs but difficult for humans would look like.

Dev here: Unfortunately, that was one thing I never managed to figure out with WikiTok - content filtering. Wikipedia has no categorization of whether or not their articles are NSFW (imagine how much debate that would require for millions of different articles), nor something I could use in their API. That said, anecdotally, I have found the percentage of rather NSFW articles to be quite low all things considered so it's been mostly fine. I think the best option would be to have a quick disclaimer before your scroll, but nobody has seriously asked me for that.

Very cool to read an article about windows 95 still being used in production - a nice contrast to the infinite AI hype cycle over everything. Tech may move fast in flashy areas but not in the more "boring" parts of the industry.

New comment by aizk in "Decomp Dev"

aizk — Sun, 01 Feb 2026 23:09:46 +0000

Hi HN, I wanted to share decomp.dev - a nifty site that tracks video game decompilation efforts, mostly games from from the early 2000s. I find it very fun to look at older c/c++ code from video games I used play, but also how the code was designed around very limited hardware requirements. I come from a TS/Python background so a lot of the techniques are alien to me (for example, using bitflags everywhere to save memory). That example is probably trivial to the more experienced devs here, but it's still interesting. All source code is written from scratch, done with matching decompilation efforts to slowly compile the code into the original binary, by a team of very talented volunteers.
