Building a Kernel-Integrated AI that Doesn't Hallucinate

IONA OS is an operating system written from scratch in Rust. It has its own kernel, its own GUI, its own blockchain protocol, its own programming language (Flux), and — since recently — its own kernel-integrated AI. Not a chatbot. Not a cloud API wrapper. An AI that runs in Ring 0, reads CPU temperature directly, kills processes, synthesises drivers, and optimises the system in real time. The hardest part wasn't making it work. The hardest part was making it trustworthy. When an AI runs in...

I deployed my backend on Render and almost immediately hit a wall.

I deployed my backend on Render and almost immediately hit a wall. The CNJ (Brazil's national justice council) has a public API I was using to pull data for BidTrack, a side project for tracking legal bids and the issue was that Render provisions servers in North America by default. The CNJ API blocks requests from outside Brazil. Every call returned 403. Then I had two options: add a Brazilian proxy (expensive) or host the API myself on AWS in sa-east-1 (São Paulo). I went with AWS, n...

We Cut Our LLM API Bill 30% With Four Lines of YAML

Our gateway handles a few thousand LLM calls per hour. Mostly internal tools, some customer-facing agents. We noticed something in the logs: a lot of prompts were basically the same question worded differently. "Summarize this quarterly report" and "give me a summary of the Q2 report" hitting the same model, getting nearly identical responses, costing us twice. Multiply that across a few hundred users and it adds up fast. The math on duplicate calls Quick back-of-envelope. GPT...

AI productivity gains vanish when you measure them honestly

Each vendor promises that AI coding tools will increase your productivity by 40%. But senior engineers kept a time log. It's the difference between those two numbers that makes you blush. A recent discussion among experienced developers revealed something uncomfortable. When they honestly logged where their hours went — including all the cleanup — that 40% boost shrank to single digits. Sometimes it vanished entirely. The Marketing Number vs. the Real Number Let me explain how...

Rux: A Modern Systems Programming Language without LLVM

Most modern programming languages rely on massive external toolchains. Many use LLVM for code generation. Others depend on large runtimes, garbage collectors, or extensive third-party infrastructure. Rux takes a different approach. Rux is a statically typed systems programming language focused on performance, control, and simplicity . It compiles directly to native machine code and is built with minimal external dependencies. Lightweight by Design One of Rux's goals i...

Cache Stampede in Go: Preventing Thundering Herds with Singleflight, Stale Caching, and Request Coalescing

Modern backend systems spend enormous effort optimizing databases, tuning queries, and scaling infrastructure. Yet some of the most expensive production incidents begin with a single innocent event: A cache entry expires. Everything looks healthy. CPU is low. Memory is stable. Latency is acceptable. Then suddenly: PostgreSQL reaches 100% CPU Redis traffic spikes Request latency explodes Pods start scaling Error rates climb Nothing is technically "broken...

NeuroImprint Detector: Audita adapters PEFT para detectar backdoors de privacidad en Federated Learning

El problema: tu adapter PEFT puede estar filtrando datos sin que lo sepas Imagina que participas en un proyecto de Federated Learning. Tu cliente entrena un adapter LoRA localmente con datos sensibles (médicos, financieros, legales) y lo envía al servidor central. El servidor nunca ve tus datos crudos. ¿Verdad? Falso. Un paper reciente de Shi et al. (2026) demuestra que un servidor malicioso puede corromper el adapter para que memorice muestras completas de tus datos de entrenamien...

Show HN: We post-trained a model that pen tests instead of refusing

Anthropic and OpenAI's publicly available models are explicitly guard-railed so that they refuse offensive tasks. And their cyber-focussed models are gated for enterprises. This leaves SMEs and mid market open to major vulnerabilities. AI can be used as both an adversarial and defensive tool in the world of cyber. A worst case outcome is if only the adversaries have access. Meanwhile, most existing AI cyber tools are just wrappers. The problem is that they still have all the guardrails on from t...

Show HN: StartupWiki – A Free Alternative to Crunchbase

I've been building StartupWiki, a free startup database designed to make it easier to discover and research companies. The original motivation was frustration with how difficult it can be to find information on early-stage startups. Most databases need accounts, or subscriptions, ro just feel too cluttered. I wanted a website that felt like Wikipedia, no accounts, no subscriptions, no weird metrics, just go in, the info is on the page. The project is still very early, but currently includes: Sta...

I posted my portfolio here about a year ago ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45154609 ) and while there was a big response, it was very mixed! It'll probably be similar this time, but regardless of your thoughts about the concept, I think I've done a pretty good job creating one of the most nostalgic corners of the internet, especially with the latest additions. It'll always be up for debate whether this is an effective way to get noticed as opposed to a standard, quick and easy portfolio,...
