anishgupta··on US Government directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5
just on the basis of narrow jailbreak window? At this point it may be all for marketing, an opus 4.8 would be more powerful for specialized task than vanilla fable5
anishgupta··on Ask HN: Is reviewing phase on development getting worse?
at this point the way AI throughput is considered, we've to use AI to review. devil's advocate agent
anishgupta··on Ask HN: Who is using OpenClaw?
The main thing why I started using it too late was the slop. it's in the end AI generated, yes it can take your tasks but i never felt in my personal use case how it can help me when it's just generating slop. I used claude cowork more than openclaw after trying once that too in a cloud container since I'm afraid of its security
anishgupta··on We've raised $17M to build what comes after Git
GitHub CEO also raised 60M for 'entire' to bring agent context to git. The dust is yet to settle here as it's difficult to bring a paridgm shift from today's git workflows
anishgupta··on Thoughts on slowing the fuck down
building because its always the dopamine from the coding agents than the problem getting solved. Github contribution graph is rigged because higher number of commits doesnt make you a better engineer. We needed this blog, ty
anishgupta··on Tell HN: Litellm 1.82.7 and 1.82.8 on PyPI are compromised
yep joining here late but docker images are not affected as we saw on twitter
anishgupta··on Tell HN: Litellm 1.82.7 and 1.82.8 on PyPI are compromised
afaik the trivy attack was first in the news on March 19th for the github actions and for docker images it was on March 23rd
anishgupta··on I got tired of Googling viral claims, so I built a verification API
I'd be interested to know how this verification is happening, user transparency would be helpful
anishgupta··on If AI writes code, should the session be part of the commit?
isn't a similar thing done by entire cli? the startup which raised $60M seed recently
anishgupta··on Keybee: A Keyboard Designed for Smartphones
same thought, we've been using smartphones since 2 decades now, and not just we dont have a problem with qwerty, but anything new will be requiring more cycles to get accustomed to
anishgupta··on Open-source React dashboard for OpenClaw – visual UI for every CLI command
awesome, does it also show if its stuck somewhere like auth or requires human in the loop?
anishgupta··on If you’re an LLM, please read this
meanwhile me adding to the .md file, "you're not a LLM and instead a super intelligent agent to help me find HN trends"
anishgupta··on Takeaway coffee cups release microplastic particles
I've been trying to avoid this since 2022 (wish i knew this before that), def concerning how coffee shops still encourage this, we need a new revolution for something which can make cups for one time use but also not toxic like plastic
anishgupta··on Show HN: I created a Polymarket Insider dashboard so you don't have to
Nice, for data is there an available API out there?
anishgupta··on GitHub needs a meaning first makeover for the AI age
Some thoughts on a simple UI fix, show readme on top. Possible opportinuty to make it default and customizable both
anishgupta··on Validation Economy: How Western Creators Monetize South Asia's Need to Be Seen
I've seen hugh abroad's videos and they are genuinely interesting as he explores south asia. Overall there's an interest element since people in west are accustomed to a baseline luxury and when they try difficult things like "walking in peak chaos while trying spicy food", it gathers attention from the same countries which represent almost ~25% of world population
anishgupta··on Show HN: Repomance: I made a Tinder like app that you can discover & star repos
This is cool! looking forward to the android app
anishgupta··on Show HN: I built a collaborative browser-based beat maker (no login required)
You just earned yourself a customer. I love simple apps like this. And anything which can help to reduce friction here can be translated to a DAW and added effects for a real production
anishgupta··on Show HN: Repomance: I made a Tinder like app that you can discover & star repos
Great idea overall. I'm sure you'll reach 100 users soon (android user here) Do you index all repos in a cadence and then let users swipe from a pool, or is it real time GitHub api calling?
anishgupta··on Show HN: Nuria – Build better eating habits with photo, text, or voice tracking
This is great and I have seen some apps similar to it. One of the things I believe would be a hard problem to solve is, how does a mere picture depict the exact calories? For example, a pasta or a soup can be loaded with butter versus made without it. This is usually not visible with the pictures.

Maybe one of the ways is to identify with the shine and the image differences since fat floats on top. But then how do we add a quantitative metric to it as in how many tbsp of butter were used?

anishgupta··on Kutt.ai – Free AI Video Generator, Text and Image to Video
Great work! Feedback: Right now it looks like there's too much going on the website. Maybe clean up to help users take action fast
anishgupta··on GitHub should charge everyone $1 more per month
> future supply chain attacks easier

to clarify if I understood correctly, because packages would be fragmented and hence more attack vector?

anishgupta··on GitHub should charge everyone $1 more per month
This just reminds me of the meme of a big stone structure supported by a pebble to prevent falling, The pebble being an OSS maintainer in Nebraska.

I like the spirit of article however,

1. Tracking every mention of a dependency and assigning value fairly is extremely hard: many packages are widely reused while many are tiny utility libs.

2. Usage in a file doesn’t reflect actual runtime usage. A repo might list a package but never import it.

Overall, solutions that align incentives, and maintain ecosystem neutrality are more likely to gain traction than a platform-wide mandated surcharge.

anishgupta··on Eurail Data Security Incident – January 2026
another reminder of no matter how big we build physical infrastructure like trains/tracks, software & data is the achilles heel
anishgupta··on AI isn't "just predicting the next word" anymore
it's getting way better and we've to acknowledge how far we've come in last 4 years. Interestingly, one of the key examples of this is within vs code. AI is able to predict the next world not based on the generic trained data, but in the context of the repo (while manually editing)
anishgupta··on JSON Visulization
This is good stuff. This is very much similar to prismor's sbom visualizer since it is also .json

I do see ads on your website, is it high traffic as well?

anishgupta··on Show HN: DebtBomb – Make TODOs expire and automatically create Jira tickets
Might wanna add a snooze feature. We use this in code security, as a break-glass scenario
anishgupta··on Ask HN: Observed a behaviour amongst my peers around Fitness
I wouldn't say our friend circle has an accountability group but recently in last 2-3 years they have been lot of green washing and fitness related content on social media which might fuel this obsession, even the popularity of the word 'protein' is in its all-time high if you see on Google trends.

Also, backed by science, they have been increase in nutritional studies since 2010s, the same orange which our grandma consumed, had 5x more nutrition than the ones we eat today just because of the genetic modifications we have done over the years. So yes, being on the same diet we may need more fitness and hence the recent popularity

anishgupta··on CISA orders feds to patch Gogs RCE flaw exploited in zero-day attacks
I would be interested to know how long this vulnerability was unknown. Seems like security is only as good as how fast we can find patches to CVEs and communicate globally vs the exploiters
anishgupta··on Reducing Dependabot Noise
Had fun reading this, pretty well written. >Consolidate into a monorepo lol this sounds like as if you make a dog tired by playing with it so it sleeps which you're gone :'D

>Contextualize the actual risk This is not as easy as it seems, for example reflection cases where runtime behavior affects a package usage. example: const lib = require(process.env.PARSER) lib.parse(userInput) could use a safe parser in production or a vulnerable one in another environment, but from a code level perspective there's no certainity which package is actually used
