helsinki··on Research suggests Big Bang may have taken place inside a black hole
Thanks, GPT 4.1. It told me the same thing twelve hours ago when I asked it what was at the top. “what’s north of the North Pole”?
helsinki··on Bruteforcing the phone number of any Google user
These bug bounties pay peanuts. Sad.
helsinki··on A practical guide to building agents [pdf]
Has anyone solved scoped permissions in multi-agent systems? For instance, if a user asks an orchestrator agent to:

1) Search GitHub for an issue in their repo.

2) Fix the issue and push it to GitHub.

3) Search Jira for any tasks related to this bug, and update their status.

4) Post a message to slack, notifying the team that you fixed it.

Now, let’s assume this agent is available to 1000 users at a company. How does the system obtain the necessary GitHub, Jira, and Slack permissions for a specific user?

The answer is fairly obvious if the user approves each action as the task propagates between agents, but how do you do this in a hands-free manner? Let’s assume the user is only willing to approve the necessary permissions once, after submitting their initial prompt and before the orchestrator agent attempts to call the GitHub agent.

If anyone could offer any advice on this, I would really appreciate it. Thank you!

helsinki··on Cloudlflare builds OAuth with Claude and publishes all the prompts
I don’t see any prompts?
helsinki··on Web Bench: a new way to compare AI browser agents
Does anyone use Skyvern to build their websites? I’m wondering how I might benefit from using an agentic browser workflow instead of a playwright MCP server for building a web UI?
helsinki··on Show HN: I made a Zero-config tool to visualize your code
You're going to need to speed up the visualizer. I think you're losing a lot of potential users to the loading time.
helsinki··on Title of work deciphered in sealed Herculaneum scroll via digital unwrapping
Indeed :)
helsinki··on Things that have a bigger impact than coding assistants
Is this LinkedIn?
helsinki··on Show HN: OpenEvolve – open-source implementation of DeepMind's AlphaEvolve
How many tokens did it take to generate the 800 versions of the code?
helsinki··on Title of work deciphered in sealed Herculaneum scroll via digital unwrapping
Brent Seales was my second CS professor and taught me how to do OOP in C++. It’s always cool to randomly see the work he’s done every few months. He was working on this project nearly twenty years ago.
helsinki··on Void: Open-source Cursor alternative
If this isn’t as good as or better than Avante.nvim, I’m going to be quite sad.
helsinki··on Ask HN: Share your AI prompt that stumps every model
>Compile a Rust binary that statically links libgssapi.
helsinki··on The Future of MCPs
Are there any open-source MCP 'app stores' currently available? I am considering building one for my employer. A place to host internally built MCPs. It would be useful to know if there is something already out there.
helsinki··on arXiv moving from Cornell servers to Google Cloud
How much is the bill for running Arxiv? $1000 - $3000/month? Yeah, I don't think Google deserves any recognition for footing that bill. Likely just another self-congratulatory bullshit move on behalf of big G.
helsinki··on Show HN: AgentAPI – HTTP API for Claude Code, Goose, Aider, and Codex
Can you share the e-mail?
helsinki··on What do I think about Lua after shipping a project with 60k lines of code?
Almost as many lines as my Neovim config.
helsinki··on JetBrains IDEs Go AI: Coding Agent, Smarter Assistance, Free Tier
Have you used Avante + MCPHub in Neovim? I would say that it's far from AI garbage.
helsinki··on Public secrets exposure leads to supply chain attack on GitHub CodeQL
As someone with the last name Prater—derived from Praetorian—I really wish I owned praetorian.com.
helsinki··on Show HN: I built a MCP server so Claude can play Minesweeper
Maybe I’m misunderstanding, but how is the actual game board / UI being rendered? I only see a MCP protocol definition.
helsinki··on fd: A simple, fast and user-friendly alternative to 'find'
Now we're talking.
helsinki··on fd: A simple, fast and user-friendly alternative to 'find'
Hm, I feel like I have roughly the exact same functionality with zsh and some various plugins, including the meta editing experience shown in your demo video ($EDITOR) via Kitty and/or WezTerm.
helsinki··on Happy 20th birthday, Y Combinator
Damn, no shoutout to @sama in that tweet - harsh.
helsinki··on Yes, Claude Code can decompile itself. Here's the source code
That's the thing - it wasn't even interesting. It was just some LinkedIn garbage post, in my opinion.
helsinki··on Turning a Bluetooth device into an Apple AirTag without root privileges
Hm, interesting. 2^46 is only 70 trillion, so yeah, totally computationally feasible. So, if i understand correctly, they only need a GPU to generate a database of 70 trillion private / public keys? Damn, not bad.
helsinki··on Show HN: I got laid off from Meta and created a minor hit on Steam
Damn! Thank you very much for the info. Quite interesting - and unfortunately, more of a cut than I expected.
helsinki··on Show HN: I got laid off from Meta and created a minor hit on Steam
How much of a cut does the publisher and steam take from a $20 purchase?
helsinki··on Show HN: Telescope – an open-source web-based log viewer for logs in ClickHouse
Just curious, as I'm in the market - why should I use this instead of the ELK stack?

Make this a Vision Pro app, please.
helsinki··on Open Heart Protocol
”The response should be a JSON object mapping Emoji (as Strings) to their count (as Numbers)”

This means ordering semantics are lost.

Let’s get them in Neovim and call them Neopets.
