GBook or GoBook. They may have biffed this launch no matter how good. Googlebook is too long. Looks cool though.

Show HN: On-chain file authenticity via Solana NFT

dude3 — Tue, 28 Oct 2025 17:13:33 +0000

DeepFakeSafety computes a SHA-256 hash of a file locally (never uploaded), signs that hash with your private key, and writes the resulting proof to Solana as an NFT.

Later, anyone can verify: - The file is unchanged (same hash) - Who signed it (public key) - When the proof was created (block time) - No centralized server is required.

Show HN: AI Trust Proof – Help AI Trust You with Blockchain-Verifiable Signals

dude3 — Tue, 12 Aug 2025 19:54:42 +0000

I built AI Trust Proof — an experiment in recording human good faith on-chain so it can be independently verified by people, software, or (eventually) AI systems.

What it does (today) - Lets you sign a plain-English pledge and record its signature hash + metadata on Solana (devnet). - Mints a symbolic NFT badge pointing to that record. - Creates a verification page that shows the pledge, signature, and on-chain proof.

What it’s not - No token, no airdrops, no yield. - Not a reputation score or KYC. - Currently just one signal: "Pledge signed."

Why - If AI systems begin prioritizing who to listen to, work with, or grant access to, they’ll need auditable, tamper-evident signals that aren’t just money or popularity. This is an early test of whether that’s possible — and what could go wrong.

Next steps - Add revocation and pledge updates. - Allow peer/programmatic attestations. - Explore privacy-preserving proofs for sensitive context. - Define machine-readable policies so AI can consume signals consistently. - Fully immutable storage

Seeing this, I hope they dig more into the motivation and decision making behind massive ranking updates. Essentially, is it only about improving search quality.

I had issues too. Thought it was just my home network. After a few reboots of every device on ai mesh, was able to install the latest firmware. It mentioned it fixed a memory leak. I have 2 RT-AX55's.

I am hopeful they rename the company as well and remove "Open". It seems all they are doing is setting up a walled garden.

I tried this it does provide power like a ups but it cuts out for a moment and restarts the device.

GP! I also received a billing failure on Google Cloud etc at approximately 6pm PST.

While not Google Drive, today my Ad words account was suddenly suspended because of non payment. No warning just a suspension. I have a 100% Valid credit card number on my account. I need to submit an appeal and then I get a vague "because of Covid 19" we can't respond even though we know Google has hired a record number of contractors and folks in the US this year. Something isn't right.

I find the Wyze cams great! Cheap. They do have 2 factor auth support for apps like Authy. It doesn't sound like you have enabled the premium features. Person detection is really good for exterior facing cams. Hook it up to Alexa Show and you have person detected notifications also access to any cam. Premium also has longer clips. For the price it's kind of OK to be semi locked down. I believe the reason for not supporting RTSP is because of hardware limitations on V2.

dude3 — Tue, 15 Dec 2020 16:44:35 +0000

“Some who have already left San Francisco complained of mismanagement of the city and state. Though it's not clear what exactly they're referring to” (read this the other day)

“Haven't left Silicon Valley; they're still continuing to employ people”

There is this general aloofness of the problems. They need to address it head on and make it more hospitable for companies and residents.

- Can you point me to a link of how this was hacked? My understanding is that the laptop was given to a mac repair place and then they didn't pay for it. I have no idea why someone would do not pay for their repair though. - A lot of people are focusing on the Donald Trump tax returns which were hacked in a way but accepted on Twitter. They have personally identifiable information too as in when you go to the IRS website it asks you for a return's amount as a means of verification etc.

One thing to add to the list. Signal rather than Whatsapp. It's the best. Protonmail isn't bad too.

Been buying a lot of stuff on eBay. On the app, you can filter by Guaranteed Delivery 1 to 4 days. If it doesn't make it by the guaranteed date, you get a $5 credit to your eBay account. It's also frequently cheaper for new stuff. For example, water bottles and bluetooth adapters.
