Observation on the author&#x27;s site: it&#x27;s cool you can tell their site is designed for them by them, or other people with low vision. big font, high contrast, etc...

I don&#x27;t have low vision (yet), but do a fair amount of my reading sitting ~3m from a 65&quot; screen, and I gotta say, the UI of this blog is lovely for that.

I know it&#x27;s a completely different thing- but the neurodiverse face similar struggles of having to wade through reams of completely superfluous content to get to anything usuable.Having done plenty of text to speech testing of my own website, I&#x27;ve never thought to turn it onto a Google search results page. It&#x27;s abysmal.Of course Google is an accessibility nightmare.

Kagi is one of the few services that I will never use, it’s a privacy nightmare. Imagine all your search history are tied to one account, an account that id you with your payment information, and is hosted in the US? Google is better at this point, at least you can use it without an account.

Kagi is awesome! Good luck w the updates

We have a big overhaul of Kagi Maps coming, stay tuned :)

the thing I really miss when I use magic, is recommended places from Google maps, where to watch certain movie&#x2F;series, a lot of things like that, where you can infer recommendations based on your location. Kagi might be good to filter everything scored &quot;bad&quot;, but makes you work more.

The custom css is tight, love using inky blacks on my oled devices with just a single style sheet.

For the past 5 years or so I&#x27;ve been working on a ground-up redesign of Freenet, my peer-to-peer project from the early 2000s (now renamed Hyphanet).The new Freenet has been up and running since December along with some early applications like River[1], our decentralized group chat and Delta - a decentralized CMS. Users have already started to build their own apps on Freenet including games, and we have some interesting apps in development like Atlas, a search&#x2F;recommendation engine.Architecturally, this new Freenet is a global, decentralized key-value store where keys are webassembly contracts which define what values (aka &quot;state&quot;) are valid for that key, how or when the values can be mutated, and how the state can be efficiently synchronized between peers.We&#x27;ve developed a unique (AFAIK) solution to the consistency problem, every contract must define a &quot;merge&quot; operation for the contract&#x27;s associated state. This operation must be commutative, meaning that you can merge multiple states in any order and you&#x27;ll get the same end result.This approach allows state updates to spread through the network like a virus[2], which typically achieves consistent global state in a few seconds or less.Like the world wide web, Freenet applications can be downloaded from the network itself and run in a web browser - similar to single-page apps on the normal web. However, rather than connecting back to an API running in a datacenter, the webapp connects locally to the Freenet peer and interacts with Freenet contracts and delegates over a local websocket connection.If you&#x27;d like to try Freenet we have convenient installers for the major desktop OSs but not yet mobile, and you can be chatting with other users on River within seconds[3].

I found GitHub repositories that were spreading malware. I asked AI what I should do about it, but it gave me nothing useful. So I opened a discussion on GitHub. Someone replied. It was literally the exact same text the AI had given me. I called it out and the comment was deleted. Then another person replied. Same exact AI response again.I worked as a developer in a company. I asked the business owner a question about a business task. He sent me a ChatGPT screenshot with the answer. I replied that it had nothing to do with the question and everything there was wrong. A minute later he sent me another ChatGPT screenshot. He didn&#x27;t even read the AI&#x27;s answer. He just screenshots and forwards it.Recently someone sent me a DM on Reddit about my post. I replied. He wrote again, I replied again. After a few messages I realized I was talking to an AI agent.I&#x27;m tired of talking to AI.
I want to talk to real people.
But even when I talk to people, they forward my questions to AI and send me the AI&#x27;s answer.

Seattle Shield, an intelligence-sharing network operated by the Seattle police

Hey HN, We&#x27;re Gus and Carlos from Runtime (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;runtm.com">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;runtm.com</a>). We&#x27;re building infra that lets your whole team (including non-engineers) ship with Claude Code, Codex, and other agents without engineering having to handhold every session.After Mentum (YC S21) was acquired, I personally shipped 4 full-stack products in 3 months using coding agents. When I tried to roll the same workflow out to the rest of the team, it fell apart: Most PRs were unmergeable slop - Every repo required an engineer doing one-off local setup. - Skills and context lived in one person&#x27;s head. - There was no safe way for a PM to touch a real codebase without risking a bad deploy or a secrets leak.Carlos comes from building agentic reconciliation systems at Modern Treasury and had a similar experience when letting his support team use devin.We ended up building internal background agent infra but it quickly became a nightmare to mantain and develop. We built Runtime so you don&#x27;t have to do this kind of thing.Runtime work like as follows. Engineering defines the context once: system instructions, skills, and scoped integrations installable via CLI, mise, npm, or any package manager. Then Runtime snapshots your full running environment including multi-service Docker Compose setups, Kafka, Redis, seeded DBs, so it comes up in milliseconds with every server already running.We orchestrate across sandbox providers like E2B, Daytona, EC2 or self-hosted K8s depending on your setup. Secrets are injected through our managed proxy so they never touch the agent directly, and guardrails run at the infrastructure level: command allow&#x2F;deny lists, network egress controls, and RBAC scoped per human and per agent. Every session also gets a shareable preview URL, so internal builds go from sandbox to the rest of the team without needing production access.Runtime works with whichever agent your team already uses: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini, Devin. You can trigger sandboxes from our web app, CLI, Slack, Linear, GitHub, or API.One of our customers built an on-call inspector that wires PagerDuty, Sentry, and their repo so when an alert fires, the agent finds the cause and opens a PR with a unit test before anyone gets paged. Another runs a finance agent in a private Slack channel pulling from Stripe, NetSuite, and Snowflake to run reconciliations in minutes with source rows attached.A fintech unicorn and several YC scaleups are live on Runtime, including a few teams who had built similar infrastructure internally and handed it to us to take over.The core is open source at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;runtm-ai&#x2F;runtm" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;runtm-ai&#x2F;runtm</a>. Hosted version is live at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;app.runtm.com">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;app.runtm.com</a>, free tier included. We&#x27;re charging a flat platform fee plus compute, no token markup.Check our demo: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=wLwj__aEEh4" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=wLwj__aEEh4</a>We&#x27;d love to hear how you&#x27;re thinking about the infra for letting more people across your org use coding agents without creating chaos!
