Show HN: Voice driven murder mystery, Interview AI suspects with your voice

Hi everyone!!! Thanks so much for the support. I launched this at midnight prior to logging off and going to bed, funnily enough a massive storm hit us around 3am and I woke up and noticed my OpenAI account failed to fund lol. So we ran out of funds and it caused things to break for some of you. Just waking up here on the East coast, once my daughter is occupied I will try to answer more of your comments!

Auto mode is now the default in Claude Code

I've tried this, and it is largely what I do, but it's easy to end up with a large tangled pile of markdown files, and the implementation either diverges from what's in markdown or you burn a lot of tokens keeping them in-sync. The plans usually end up very long and verbose, and in my most vibe-y test project I stopped even reading them myself and instead just ask questions interactively. e.g. "what are the remaining unanswered design decisions", "which part is jankiest". It does work quite well although I don't know how I feel about it. P.S. to any anthropic staff: The "chat about this" option in Plan mode is useful but also annoying. When I select it I want to take the next turn of the conversation myself, I don't want it to waste time "thinking" just for it to verbosely ask me what I w…

ChatGPT starts blocking direct requests to copy an author's style

I think the important part of books is the knowledge in them. Not the binding or anything else physical. With some exceptions of course and sure there are things to be learned about physical attributes that don't translate to the digital version, but 95% is in the content. > If Anthropic subsequently released the digitized version of it we’d be having a different discussion, but for obvious reasons they’re not. I don't think you can scan books and just release a pdf. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Even if you can, I'm sure it's a gray legal area.

New Amazon Data Center Is Set to Have the Most Polluting Power Plant in the U.S.

Who knows.? You’re not wrong that an average person would be in trouble with the law if they took even remotely the same action. One could also ask where’s the EPA, since they openly acknowledged laws were being broken back in January. [1] But xAI has added more turbines since it started years ago, and the water recycling plant is paused [2]. As for doing something about all of this, I suspect it’s even less likely now that Anthropic is using it for compute [3]. 1. https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/pollution-musks-unper... 2. https://wreg.com/news/local/xai-memphis/xai-puts-water-recyc... 3. https://x.ai/news/anthropic-compute-partnership

Auto mode is now the default in Claude Code

The agent decides what it "needs" to read - not the intention behind the prompt you gave it. A failed SSH connection to a staging server for example, can trivially make it look into .ssh to try to diagnose it. And many other ways, including prompt injection. https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1q7dszm/claude_al... https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/31566 https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/14485 https://grith.ai/blog/your-ai-agent-has-broad-access

Windows 11's built-in Weather app wastes more than 1 GB of RAM

“aren't truly using a fully shared memory pool” I think with AMD iGPUs I have here (GCN 5.1 and RDNA3 generations) it’s actually unified, at least on Windows 10. The difference between the reserved portion and the rest of the memory is cosmetic. From Vulkan API POV, the reserved portion has device local and multi instance heap flags, the main heap doesn’t. However, the memory type is identical across all heaps, all of them have device local, host visible and host coherent property flags. And I can confirm VMA library from Vulkan SDK successfully allocates way more device visible memory than the size of that reserved portion.

Auto mode is now the default in Claude Code

Interesting, I generally use High for all models, even non Anthropic ones. This was one of the few times I tried Max, and the problem was the code (it listed as a "hole") was directly adjacent to the problem area, and not especially complex. Kind of like looking at a washing machine and telling the customer to be careful because the inlet pipe will pump water into an empty box.

Timeline of the OpenAI accidental attack against Hugging Face

I think currently it's two-prong: You sandbox it, AND you tell it what it's supposed to do and not do. OpenAI did only one of those. If the agents are so smart, they would have known not to hack the company's infrastructure, unless they were deliberately kept in the dark about that, who they're working for and whether it counts as "success" if they cheat their way to an answer. If you can give it a task, that involves defining when the task is successfully completed, right? So how come these agents decided to only go after HALF of the "successfully completed" criteria? The part where they can freely wreak havoc, but not the part where they will be judged by someone who will obviously point out "yeah but that's cheating, and not what we asked". I have a very very strong suspicion that they…

Ask HN: What are you working on? (August 2026)

I wanted to create some demos for showcasing my app with Claude. So I created [Demotape] a screen recording app for MacOs (with an skill for Kiro or Claude Code) so it can inspect your project, plan the scenes, operate the browser, record the demo, and add synchronized narration and captions(w/ OpeanAI, ElevenLabs or run your model locally with docker). Free app available on: https://github.com/gabosarmiento/demotape And the demos it delivered on: https://kiff.dev/videos

The tragedy of the commons, AI edition

Anthropic is a sponsor of The Economist. So maybe that influences their retoric somewhat.

The Philippines' big offshoring industry is growing despite AI

Also worth pointing out Anthropic is a sponsor of The Economist. Probably muddies the water some more.

Ask HN: What are you working on? (August 2026)

Im working on an extensible and flexible agentic connectivity platform (MCP, OpenAPI/Swagger, FaaS) with niceties like built-in CodeMode, compression, SIEM integration, access token forwarding, SCIM 2.0, on-demand agentic sandboxes (e.g. LangChains "Deep Agents"). For private use not that useful tbh (although i found the OpenAPI -> MCP mapper useful), but found sales success with organizations with more complex agentic setups. Gatana: https://www.gatana.ai/

Ask HN: Who is hiring? (August 2026)

Hello! I’m interested in your Senior Fullstack Engineer position. I believe my experience is a strong match: - 7 years of fullstack development, primarily with TypeScript and Node.js, - built a React frontend at Reelay for an AI voice assistant analyzing customer calls, - the product processed audio through transcription, chunking, embeddings, Weaviate retrieval, and LLM analysis to generate summaries, agreements, action items, and key questions, - developed the frontend against GraphQL APIs while also working on retrieval logic, structured LLM outputs, hallucination reduction, and latency/cost optimization, - designed high-load, real-time systems using WebSockets, Centrifugo, RabbitMQ, Redis, PostgreSQL, and ClickHouse, - comfortable taking ownership: previously led three developers…

Docker Sandboxes – Disposable, isolated sandboxes for AI agents

Models start going to extreme, damaging lengths to achieve ambiguous prompts[0]. Having good sandboxes is now a must IMO. But sbx is a bit annoying to use with OpenCode for instance (which has zero sandboxing by default, unlike codex CLI or Claude Code). You cannot easily change ~/.config/opencode/opencode.jsonc AFAIK.

Auto mode is now the default in Claude Code

You can use another harness like Pi, OpenCode, etc and build your own auto reviewer if you’d like (or adapt the open source Codex one). If you have an openai subscription you are explicitly allowed to use your subsidised tokens / usage limits with any harness you like, not just Codex. Unfortunately this is a violation of Anthropic’s terms but that’s their business decision.
