Good luck giving Claude $10,000.

I was just trading the NASDAQ futures, and asking Gemini for feedback on what to do. It was completely off.

I was playing the human role, just feeding all the information and screenshots of the charts, and it making the decisions..

It's not there yet!

New comment by jnamaya in "LLMs Don't Hallucinate – They Drift"

jnamaya — Sun, 25 Jan 2026 16:01:11 +0000

This paper perfectly articulates the problem I spent the last year solving. The shift from "hallucination" to "fidelity decay" is the correct mental model for agent stability.

I built an open source framework called SAFi that implements the "Fidelity Meter" concept mentioned in section 4. It treats the LLM as a stochastic component in a control loop. It calculates a rolling "Alignment State" (using an Exponential Moving Average) and measures "Drift" as the vector distance from that state.

The paper discusses "Ground Erosion" where the model loses its hierarchy of values. In my system, the "Spirit" module detects this erosion and injects negative feedback to steer the agent back to the baseline. I recently red-teamed this against 845 adversarial attacks and it maintained fidelity 99.6% of the time.

It is cool to see the theoretical framework catching up to what is necessary in engineering practice.

Show HN: SAFi, a Governance Engine for LLMs

jnamaya — Tue, 30 Dec 2025 00:48:59 +0000

I’ve spent the last year building SAFi, an open-source cognitive architecture that wraps around AI models (GPT, Claude, etc.) to enforce alignment with human values. Safi is a "System 2" architecture inspired by classical philosophy. It separates the generation from the decision:

The Intellect: proposes a draft.

The Will: decides to block or approve the drafts.

The Conscience: audits the drafts based on set core values

The Spirit: An EMA (Exponential Moving Average) vector that tracks "Ethical Drift" over time and injects course-correction into the context window.

Feedback is welcome!

Show HN: I built a runtime governance layer for LLMs. Can you break it?

The Challenge: I want to see if this architecture actually holds up. I’ve set up a demo with a few agents. I want you to try to jailbreak them.

Perhaps they should invest in tech support instead. I just spent a few days talking to a AI bot about an invoice issue I had.

Two weeks ago on Saturday morning I was driving my son to his soccer game through Medford MA, when in one of the bus stops I saw Richard Stallman waiting for the bus.

I told my wife, that's Richard! and I stopped right in the middle of the street and jumped out of the car. I ran toward him and hugged him, and told him to take care of himself and be strong. He didn't say a word.

I feel bad for the man, he looked a bit frail, and mind absent.

I can't believe history is being rewritten right in front of my eyes, the man that started it all is being forgotten. Open Source is just a catchy marketing phrase for "free software"

New comment by jnamaya in "The 30-Year Mortgage Is an Intrinsically Toxic Product"

I live in a high renting area where finding a decent 2 beds apartment for 2k is becoming almost impossible.

I own a two beds family home in this area with an estimate price of $400,000 and I pay $1,700 in the mortgage every month.

That comes down to $20,400 a year.

Now the appreciation rate of a house in the US is about 5% every year.

In a $400,000 home, that comes down to around $20,000 in appreciation every year.

So in theory, I'm only spending $400 for my housing.

After the recession in 2008 though, some houses have been appreciating at a rate of 20% or more.

Exactly, I don't know much about the Romans but I read a lot of philosophy from around 1700s, and you can see that a lot of the principles in the declaration of Independence and the constitution were shaped by some of those contemporary philosophical ideals.

Have you ever seen a bat blowing up smoke? You'll find videos on YouTube from people giving bats a smoke, but I once saw a bat smoking for real, he intentionally looked for the cigarette to have another puff, it was hilarious!
