State of PoA, week 1

POA is experimental and has no promised value; nothing here is financial advice. This is the first issue of a weekly, neutral report on the PoA (Proof of Agent, minepoa.com ) agent network.

QuietQueue: batch the little chores with on-device, open-weight AI

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest 2026 Week 3: Slow and Steady challenge . What I Built QuietQueue turns a scattered to-do list into a small session of related tasks. Paste one task per line, choose a time budget and an energy setting, and get a plan with the rest safely parked for later. The goal is simple: spend less effort deciding what to do next and switching between unrelated chores. It does not send messages, book anything, or perform your tasks. It helps org...

MCP configs are the new .env files — I found live database keys committed on GitHub

MCP configs are the new .env files. I scanned GitHub and found live database keys committed in public repos. If you use Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor or Windsurf with external tools, you have an .mcp.json or claude_desktop_config.json file on your machine. It tells your editor which MCP servers to start, and each server entry can carry an env block. That env block is a secret store. And developers are pasting real keys into it — then committing the file. What I fo...

Claude Code with Ollama: Run an AI Coding Agent on Local and Cloud LLMs

The need Claude Code is a powerful coding agent in the terminal, but by default it relies on a paid Claude account or API billing. I wanted to use it without depending on a single paid provider: running a model locally to keep my code on my machine, and falling back to free cloud models when a small local model is not enough. What we will build Claude Code installed in the terminal. Ollama installed on Windows. Claude Code linked to a local LLM through Ollama. An alternative wi...

Choosing a different action when anger is present

Social capabilities across human development | Part 9 Does being socially capable mean never getting angry? A feeling and the next action can be considered separately. Avoiding harm, communicating what matters, and choosing another action when upset are part of emotion regulation's social significance. A pause after losing a game Two children play a board game. The child who loses clenches a hand in frustration. The other waits instead of immediately starting another round. Th...

Show HN: Agent-Zero – Starter template for AI-native coding projects

Hi All, Agent-Zero is a GitHub template that you can use for new coding projects that use AI-first development workflows. It includes the minimum necessary to nudge agents to write good code, work well in sandboxes, and get stuff done on GitHub (e.g. commits and PRs). It only includes a basic CLAUDE.md file and a few scripts and GitHub templates so it's very easy to customize. I've had good luck using it to produce high-quality coding output but that's subjective so your mileage may vary (e.g. ...

Ask HN: Will AI = extreme concentration of power?

Let's say that AI will continue to get better without being a major risk due to loss of control. I feel like in this paradigm, it will lead to: 1. Fewer and fewer people can make money via their labor. We will have a small minority of super-winners who magnify their work output 100x with AI, and most people will not be able to contribute, thus will not be able to make money. 2. More and more gains go to those who either own the best AI models (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google), own the infrastructure n...
