Show HN: Decided to play god this morning, so I built an agent civilisation
A computational ecosystem where autonomous agents evolve on a graph. No grids, no human-world assumptions — just a Watts-Strogatz small-world network, NEAT-style brains, and natural selection doing the teaching. Think of it as a digital petri dish: agents perceive, act, reproduce, and die. Their genomes evolve. Brains get more complex (or simpler, if that works […]

Timeline: Anthropic, OpenAI, and U.S. Government
Feb 28, 2026, 02:56 AM OpenAI agrees with Dept. of War to deploy models in classified network OpenAI strikes deal with Pentagon to supply AI to classified military networks. Altman says the same red lines at the heart of Anthropic’s dispute are enshrined in OpenAI’s new partnership: ”Two of our most important safety principles are […]
What AI coding costs you
Every developer I know uses AI for coding now. The productivity gains are real, but there are costs that don’t show up on any dashboard. Imagine a spectrum. On the far left are humans typing on the keyboard, seeing the code in the IDE. On the far right: AGI. It implements everything on its own. […]
Don’t trust AI agents
When you’re building with AI agents, they should be treated as untrusted and potentially malicious. Whether you’re worried about prompt injection, a model trying to escape its sandbox, or something nobody’s thought of yet, regardless of what your threat model is, you shouldn’t be trusting the agent. The right approach isn’t better permission checks or […]
Show HN: SplatHash – A lightweight alternative to BlurHash and ThumbHash
SplatHash encodes any image into exactly 16 bytes (a 22-char base64url string) and decodes it back to a 32×32 blurry preview in 0.067 ms. Go, TypeScript, and Python all produce bit-for-bit identical hashes. Columns: original · SplatHash 32×32 · ThumbHash · BlurHash. Regenerate: mise run compare. Go is the reference implementation. All others are verified […]
