Gauntlet AI (YC S17): Fly you to Austin, train you in AI, give you $200k+ job
The Problem Your job won’t make you AI-first. Nothing will — unless you force it. You’re already reading the papers, experimenting between meetings, pushing yourself to stay ahead. That energy is real — but scattered effort won’t close the gap. You need a forcing function to go from curious to dangerous. Gauntlet exists because the […]
Google details new 24-hour process to sideload unverified Android apps
The actual legwork to activate this feature only takes a few seconds, but the 24-hour countdown makes it something you cannot do spur of the moment. But why 24 hours?

Launch HN: Voltair (YC W26) – Drone and charging network for power utilities
Hey HN! We’re Hayden, Ronan, Avi, and Warren of Voltair (https://voltairlabs.com/). We’re making weatherized, hybrid-fixed drones deployed for power utility inspections. Here’s some footage: https://vimeo.com/1173862237/ac28095cc6?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=… and a photo of our latest prototype: https://imgur.com/a/bYHnqZ4.

Launch HN: Canary (YC W26) – AI QA that understands your code
Hey HN! We’re Aakash and Viswesh, and we’re building Canary (https://www.runcanary.ai).

Eddy, Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada, 1985 And it tickled my imagination a little, just enough to write this short post. After writing my previous […]
A Copy-Paste Bug That Broke PSpice AES-256 Encryption
Security research March 18, 2026 · ~5 min read PSpice is a SPICE circuit simulator from Cadence Design Systems that encrypts proprietary semiconductor model files to protect vendor IP and prevent reuse in third-party SPICE simulators. The encryption scheme is proprietary and undocumented. Many third-party component vendors distribute SPICE models exclusively as PSpice-encrypted files, locking […]
Consensus Board Game
I have an early adulthood trauma from struggling to understand consensus amidst a myriad of poor explanations. I am overcompensating for that by adding my own attempts to the fray. Today, I want to draw a series of pictures which could be helpful. You can see this post as a set of missing illustrations for […]
