Jev + Pi: a probability gate for my coding agent's shell commands

TypeSafe released Jev on 2026-09-15. It is a decision-only model: you give it yes/no propositions and it returns a probability instead of text. I put it in front of Pi's bash , write and edit calls, and then measured 18 commands to decide where the thresholds should sit. TL;DR What it is: An auto-mode extension for the Pi coding agent CLI that uses rules for known patterns and sends unvouched commands to Jev, TypeSafe's decision-only model (announced 2026-09-15) that re...

Knowledge Poisoning in RAG: Attacking AI Through Its Knowledge Base

Hello, I'm Rijul, and I'm building LiveReview — a blast-radius aware AI code review built for your business-critical systems. Star us to help devs discover the project, give it a try, and share your feedback to help improve the product. If you are familiar with RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), you know that it allows an LLM to answer questions using information from your documents. If you are new to RAG, you can check out this article first . At a high level, RAG embe...

Does RAG Need Better Retrieval — or Better Relationships?

I started this experiment for a slightly different reason. I was playing with a system that could reconstruct context across documents. Not summarize documents. Not retrieve the most similar chunks. Reconstruct context. For example, suppose I have two documents: In 2022, the team chose PostgreSQL. And somewhere else: After the migration problems, the team moved to DynamoDB in 2024. Neither document contains the answer to: Why did the database decision change?...

Hardening Jenkins After the September 2026 Plugin Advisory: A Practical Guide

Hardening Jenkins After the September 2026 Plugin Advisory: A Practical Guide The Jenkins advisory of September 16, 2026 covers 20 plugin vulnerabilities, seven of which break the Script Security sandbox and yield code execution on the controller. The patches are available. What follows is the operational work around them: how to apply the fixes, how to tell whether you were affected, and which configuration changes reduce the impact of the next advisory. Step one: identify what ...

How to Shrink Key Revocation Latency: Webhook Intake with a Scheduled Polling Backstop

Use the push channel for speed and a scheduled poll for proof. Registered webhooks carry a revocation from the issuer to your gateway in a couple of seconds; scheduled polling is what tells you, an hour later, whether that revocation actually landed. On a support desk product where every tenant holds its own scoped key, the axis that decides the architecture is not median latency — it's whether you can reconstruct, for one key on one afternoon, when access stopped and how you learned about it. ...

Algorithmic Trading: Debug Your Backtest Before Upgrading Your Model

A company releases earnings at 4:05 p.m. Your trading backtest buys its stock at 4:00 p.m., using those earnings to make the decision. The tests pass. The chart looks great. Your model can apparently predict the future. Somewhere in the pipeline, someone joined two datasets on a date column. That five-minute mistake captures what interests me about algorithmic trading as a developer. Before trusting a model, you have to investigate the system that makes its results possible. In my ea...

Dropbox App for Gemini Brings File Search, Sharing and Automation Into Gemini Workflows

Dropbox has become an official connected app for Google Gemini, giving eligible users a way to locate, summarize, share and manage Dropbox files without leaving Gemini Chat . The integration also extends to Gemini Spark, Google’s workflow environment for tasks that can span multiple connected apps. For teams already storing working documents in Dropbox, the development brings file retrieval and common file actions closer to the AI conversations and workflows where work is increasingly being pla...

Enterprise AI Observability Platforms: Architecture, Key Capabilities, and Evaluation Guide

TL;DR Enterprise AI observability platforms provide distributed tracing, automated evaluation, and governance for non-deterministic LLM applications and agentic workflows. Traditional application performance monitoring (APM) tools capture latency and infrastructure health, but fail to detect hallucination, retrieval degradation, or multi-step agent reasoning failures. OpenTelemetry semantic conventions for generative AI are becoming the industry standard for vendor-neutral trace instru...

Polymarket Order Book Imbalance: Reading Market Depth

Learn how Polymarket order book imbalance measures bid and ask pressure, when it contains useful information, and how to test it quantitatively. What Order Book Imbalance Reveals About Polymarket Markets A Polymarket price tells you where the market is trading. The order book tells you something different: how much liquidity is positioned around that price . That distinction matters. Two markets can both trade at $0.55 while having completely different distributions of bids...

Designing a Transactional Voice Agent for Latency, Safety, and Human Handoff

A production voice agent has to do more than understand a request. It must respond within the rhythm of a phone conversation, coordinate live APIs, protect sensitive data, and transfer the caller without losing context when automation reaches its limit. In our travel booking implementation, that meant completing the full shop, select, pay, book, and confirm workflow through an existing Amazon Connect environment. The system reached a 92% successful end-to-end transaction rate using live APIs and...

Plugin count is a terrible way to size a WooCommerce migration. Here's the data.

Plugin count is the first number anyone quotes when sizing a WooCommerce to Shopify migration. "They're running 58 plugins, this is going to be a big one." Metorik's analysis of more than 6,000 stores says 58 is about average, so the number is real enough. It is also close to useless, and we have the data to show why. We mapped the 88 most common WooCommerce and WordPress plugins to whatever replaces them on Shopify, with a migration risk level on each one. Here is how they land: ...

Show HN: Share your AI Setup, Learn from others

I kept seeing engineers share what they were building with AI; however, I was always more curious about how they worked. Which agents did they use? What skills and tools had stuck or been thrown out the window? How did they manage longer-running tasks? So I built this with the hope we could have a dedicated space to share and be open about our setups. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49740105 Points: 121 # Comments: 72

Ask HN: How to recover Google auth after phone stolen?

As we know, google has been effective at automating a lot of their systems, to the point where it can feel like there isn't any help available from a human. So what is supposed to be the plan when this type of situation happens? Basically I have a situation that after my phone was stolen, I can't get into any of my accounts that are either connected to google, or connected to the phone via 2FA. This has made it complicated/impossible not only to get info about my phone, but also my banking, emai...

Hey HN, we're Nars & Nishant, founders of Skillsync ( https://skillsync.com ) Skillsync lets you move your AI chats across every coding agent. Most of our work exists as conversations, which are currently scattered across our agents. Though stored locally, these conversations use different formats. This is annoying because you cannot simply switch between agents without starting over. We get locked into a single provider and their agent as we invest in skills and memories over time.
