Meta (Facebook) has decided to drop its appeal against a court ruling that requires social media platforms to offer users the option of a non-algorithmic, chronological timeline. This ruling aims to give users more control over their experience and reduce the influence of algorithms in curating content.

hey there.

at every job i’ve had, people paste secrets into Slack and delete them really fast. i wanted a quick, secure way to hand off a credential that wasn’t that, so I built 30s.

it’s a CLI that generates a local keypair and uses envelope encryption so the server never sees plaintext. you send to a recipient’s email, they decrypt locally, and secrets expire automatically (default 30s, maximum 24h).

free to use, 50 secrets/month.

The article discusses the collaboration between Stripe, Visa, Mastercard, and American Express to develop a new artificial intelligence-powered system to detect and report child sexual abuse material (CSAM) online. The goal is to create a more effective tool to combat the distribution of CSAM while addressing privacy concerns.

The problem with LLMs isn't intelligence; it's amnesia and dishonesty. Hey HN,

I’ve spent the last few months building Remember-Me, an open-source "Sovereign Brain" stack designed to run entirely offline on consumer hardware.

The core thesis is simple: Don't rent your cognition.

Most RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) implementations are just "grep for embeddings." They are messy, imprecise, and prone to hallucination. I wanted to solve the "Context integrity" problem at the architectural layer.

The Tech Stack (How it works):

QDMA (Quantum Dream Memory Architecture): instead of a flat vector DB, it uses a hierarchical projection engine. It separates "Hot" (Recall) from "Cold" (Storage) memory, allowing for effectively infinite context window management via compression.

CSNP (Context Switching Neural Protocol) - The Hallucination Killer: This is the most important part. Every memory fragment is hashed into a Merkle Chain. When the LLM retrieves context, the system cryptographically verifies the retrieval against the immutable ledger.

If the hash doesn't match the chain: The retrieval is rejected.

Result: The AI visually cannot "make things up" about your past because it is mathematically constrained to the ledger. Local Inference: Built on top of llama.cpp server. It runs Llama-3 (or any GGUF) locally. No API keys. No data leaving your machine.

Features:

Zero-Dependency: Runs on Windows/Linux with just Python and a GPU (or CPU).

Visual Interface: Includes a Streamlit-based "Cognitive Interface" to visualize memory states. Open Source: MIT License. This is an attempt to give "Agency" back to the user. I believe that if we want AGI, it needs to be owned by us, not rented via an API.

Repository: https://github.com/merchantmoh-debug/Remember-Me-AI

I’d love to hear your feedback on the Merkle-verification approach. Does constraining the context window effectively solve the "trust" issue for you?

It's fully working - Fully tested. If you tried to Git Clone before without luck - As this is not my first Show HN on this - Feel free to try again.

To everyone who HATES AI slop; Greedy corporations and having their private data stuck on cloud servers.

You're welcome.

Cheers, Mohamad

Framework 50 is active.

For anyone passing by - yes this is a big deal. Eliminating AI hallucination is a 60 billion dollar market problem and I'm giving THAT + sovereign control of your DATA plus the capability to do high-end research via framework 50 (including advanced scientific research) for FREE - under an MIT license. If you don't take advantage of this - you are an idiot.

If you do - welcome to the future.

P.S: What do I get from lying? I got 27 stars on the repo - many from high-end senior engineers at fortune 500 companies. If you're too stupid to tell the real deal from a lie then keep it moving son.

This article provides an overview of the Revision Control System (RCS), a version control tool for tracking changes in files. It covers the basic commands and usage of RCS, including how to create, store, and retrieve file revisions.

With Malan Chat, you can learn over 60 languages through AI-powered conversations, grammar correction, and integrated FSRS flashcards. The chat allows users to practice speaking and listening, get instant corrections, and build your vocabulary with our intelligent language tutor. Users may import readings into the Reader, look up words and annotate the article, and discuss the reading with the chat. To practice longer form writing, you may go into the writing hub and see your text marked up with corrections.

I built Malan to make speaking practice feel like a real conversation instead of a clunky exercise. It’s a chat-first language coach that listens, responds, and nudges you toward more natural phrasing without breaking your flow, so the learning process stays light and fast, it feels more like texting than studying. It’s strongest for people who already know some of the language and want to go from 1 → 100. There isn’t a true 0 → 1 path yet (onboarding for complete beginners is coming), so right now it’s best for learners who can form basic sentences and want consistent practice with real feedback.

Coming soon: YouTube (and possibly Spotify) integration so you can get listening practice from real sources that you want to engage with. This is your journey, and you are a distinct individual with your own tastes. I want you to have fun while you're going through the arduous task of learning a new language! Also in the works are custom exercises based on your own needs.

I've still had very limited user feedback, so please tell me what you like or don't like about the platform and I will do my best to remedy it!
