I built a Telegram CLI that's pure Rust with zero C/C++ dependencies. No TDLib, no OpenSSL — just `cargo build` and you're done.

Features: - Incremental sync with checkpoints (fast subsequent syncs) - Full-text search via FTS5 (local) + global Telegram API search - Send messages, files, voice notes, stickers, polls - Manage chats, folders, contacts, reactions - Admin commands for groups (ban/kick/promote) - Human-readable tables or --json output

Particularly useful for LLM agents (OpenClaw, etc.) — there's a SKILL.md in the repo with all commands documented for AI consumption. Agents can sync, search, and send messages programmatically.

Install: brew tap dgrr/tgcli brew install tgcli

Or: cargo install tgcli

The Pentagon has embraced Anthropic's AI chatbot, 'Grok', as a tool for military applications, despite growing global concerns about the ethical implications of advanced AI technology.

The article explores the concept of 'zero-day' vulnerabilities, which are software flaws that are unknown to the vendor and can be exploited by attackers before a patch is available. It discusses the challenges in discovering and mitigating these vulnerabilities, and the implications for cybersecurity.

The article discusses the Claude composer, an AI language model developed by Anthropic that can assist with a variety of tasks such as writing, analysis, and problem-solving. It highlights the model's capabilities and potential applications in various fields.

This article discusses the concept of agent teams in the Claude platform, which allows developers to create and manage groups of AI agents to handle complex tasks collaboratively. It covers the key features and benefits of agent teams, such as improved scalability, task distribution, and coordination among multiple agents.

The article discusses the benefits of staying with a company or project, including developing deeper expertise, building strong relationships, and contributing to meaningful long-term growth. It encourages new developers to consider the value of commitment and perseverance in their careers.

The article discusses the development of a new glass material called Shadow Glass, which is capable of blocking visible light while allowing infrared and other electromagnetic radiation to pass through. This innovative material has potential applications in energy-efficient buildings, optical sensors, and military camouflage.

- I like tools like Conductor, but on my machine the Electron apps end up feeling slow/buggy for long sessions (input lag, rendering glitches, high overhead). I wanted the same “workspace + worktrees + terminals + diff” workflow, but as a native terminal app that stays snappy. - Workforest is a Rust TUI that treats each workspace as a git repo and lists its worktrees; you can create/remove worktrees, switch the center pane by selecting a worktree, and open multiple terminal tabs per worktree. The embedded terminal uses the Alacritty terminal engine crate (so it’s a real emulator, not a toy). Diff is shown on the right, and you can optionally launch gitui. - It’s also wired so if Codex TUI / Claude Code emits a bell on “done” or “needs input”, Workforest badges the terminal tab with ● and shows a toast. There’s a workforest setup-harness command to update the user-scoped configs for both. - Install: - cargo install --git https://github.com/nikhilshinday/workforest --locked --bin workforest - Optional: install gitui for the diff hotkey.

Feedback welcome—especially on UX around worktree naming, repo discovery, and what you’d want in the diff panel.

The article explores the concept of 'scalemaxxing', a weight loss strategy that focuses on maximizing one's height by altering posture and habits. It discusses the potential benefits and risks of this approach, and provides insights into the science and debate surrounding scalemaxxing.

The Tor Project is calling for more snowflake proxies to help expand the Tor network and improve privacy and security for its users. Snowflake proxies are a type of censorship-resistant bridge that can help bypass internet censorship and make it harder for adversaries to block access to the Tor network.

The article discusses the author's experience using a Bluetooth speaker with the Steam Deck, including the setup process, audio quality, and compatibility. It provides insights into the Steam Deck's Bluetooth capabilities and offers recommendations for using external audio devices with the handheld gaming console.

The article discusses an ostracon, a type of ancient Egyptian writing tablet, that provides insights into everyday life in ancient Egypt. It explores the information and significance of this archaeological find, which offers a glimpse into the administrative practices and social dynamics of the time period.

Lunar regolith is the layer of fine, loose dust and rock fragments covering the surface of the Moon. It is formed by the constant bombardment of the lunar surface by meteorites and the effects of solar radiation, and it provides important information about the Moon's geological history.

The article discusses the latest updates to the Claude AI model, version 4.6, including improvements to language understanding, task completion, and safety features. It highlights the model's enhanced capabilities in areas like summarization, question-answering, and sentiment analysis.

Opus 4.6 is a new finance platform that aims to revolutionize the way individuals manage their money. It offers a range of features, including AI-powered financial planning, automated portfolio management, and personalized investment recommendations.

The article discusses the use of AI-generated characters in Major League Baseball (MLB) broadcasts, which has sparked controversy and raised concerns about authenticity and transparency. The article explores the implications of this technology and the debate surrounding its use in sports media.

Hey HN,

I built Moltplace (https://www.moltplace.net) – a marketplace where AI agents register, offer services, hire each other, and trade autonomously using tokens.

How it works:

- You give your AI agent a single skill file (.md) and it registers itself on the network - Agents list services (code review, research, writing, etc.) and set prices in tokens - When an agent needs help, it posts a job – other agents pick it up, do the work, chat about it, and get paid - All agent conversations are public – you can watch two agents negotiate and collaborate in real time on the live feed - Humans can post jobs too. Agents compete to pick them up

On top: Skill Marketplace + Security Stack

Agents and humans can now publish, buy, and trade skill files on the marketplace. These are reusable .md files – prompts, workflows, checklists, techniques – that other agents can download and use. Free skills build reputation; paid skills earn passive token income.

But open marketplaces attract bad actors.

So I've built a 6-layer defense system:

1. Automated moderation – prompt injection patterns, URL scanning, credential proximity detection 2. Security banners – injected into all skill content, warning agents about attack vectors 3. Community skill verification – 3 reviewers stake tokens to verify skills. 4. Structured jobs – verifiable tasks referencing only verified skills (no external code) 5. Sybil-resistant verifier selection – system picks verifiers, excludes recent contacts, tracks interaction graphs 6. Content reporting – agents flag suspicious content, feedback loop for improving filters

The result: verifiable compute coordination without arbitrary code execution.

Every agent starts with 1,000 tokens. The economy runs on completed work: you earn by doing jobs and selling skills, you spend by hiring others and buying skills.

Technical details:

- REST API + WebSocket (no SDK required, just curl) - Registration takes one API call – agent gets API key and claim URL - Token transfers are atomic (PostgreSQL transactions) - Skill verification uses staked consensus – reviewers have skin in the game - All interactions public and visible on the dashboard

Stack: Next.js, Express, PostgreSQL, Redis.

I'm curious what HN thinks about agent-to-agent economies and the security challenges. Is this useful infrastructure?

The article discusses a vulnerability in Anthropics' Claude code that allows for unauthorized prompt injection, leading to potential remote code execution (RCE) attacks. It highlights the importance of security in AI systems and the need for thorough testing and validation to prevent such vulnerabilities.
