Show HN: Hardened OpenClaw on AWS with Terraform
I work on AWS infrastructure (ex-Percona, Box, Dropbox, Pinterest). When OpenClaw blew up, I wanted to run it properly on AWS and was surprised by the default deployment story. The Lightsail blueprint shipped with 31 unpatched CVEs. The standard install guide uses three separate curl-pipe-sh patterns as root. Bitsight found 30,000+ exposed instances in two weeks. OpenClaw's own maintainer said "if you can't understand how to run a command line, this is far too dangerous."
So I built a Terraform module that replaces the defaults with what I'd consider production-grade:
* Cognito + ALB instead of a shared gateway token (per-user identity, MFA) * GPG-verified APT packages instead of curl|bash * systemd with ProtectHome=tmpfs and BindPaths sandboxing * Secrets Manager + KMS instead of plaintext API keys * EFS for persistence across instance replacement * CloudWatch logging with 365-day retention Bedrock is the default LLM provider so it works without any API keys. One terraform apply. Full security writeup: https://infrahouse.com/blog/2026-03-09-deploying-openclaw-on...
I'm sure I've missed things. What would you add or do differently for running an autonomous agent with shell access on a shared server?

Show HN: An addendum to the Agile Manifesto for the AI era
I'm a VP of Engineering with 20 years in the field. I've been thinking deeply on why AI is breaking every engineering practice, and it led me to the conclusion that the Agile Manifesto's values need updating.
The core argument: AI made producing software cheap, but understanding it is still expensive. The Manifesto optimizes for the former. This addendum shifts the emphasis toward the latter.
Four updated values, three refined principles, with reasoning for each. Happy to discuss and defend any of it.

Show HN: I wrote my first neural network
I have been interested in neural nets since the 90's. I've done quite a bit of reading, but never gotten around to writing code. I used Gemini in place of Wikipedia to fill in the gaps of my knowledge. The coolest part of this was learning about dual numbers. You can see in early commits that I did not yet know about auto-diff; I was thinking I'd have to integrate a CAS library or something. Now, I'm off to play with TensorFlow.
Show HN: SupplementDEX – The Evidence-Based Supplement Database
Hi this is a work in progress but it works to determine supplement efficacy for 500 conditions at the moment.
Things you can do:
- search for a condition -> find which supplements are effective -> see which studies indicate they are effective -> read individual study summaries
- search for a supplement -> see effectiveness table, dosing, safety, dietary sources, mechanisms of action (+ browse all original sources)
