Hey all, Throwaway in case this is assumed to be politcally motivated. I spent some time organizing the Eptstein files to make transparency a little clearer. I need to tighten the data for organizations and people a bit more, but hopeful this is helpful in research in the interim.

Hey HN! Today we're launching Agent Vault - an open source HTTP credential proxy and vault for AI agents. Repo is at https://github.com/Infisical/agent-vault, and there's an in-depth description at https://infisical.com/blog/agent-vault-the-open-source-crede.... We built Agent Vault in response to a question that been plaguing the industry: How do we give agents secure access to services without them reading any secrets? Most teams building agents have run into this exact problem: They build an agent or agentic system and come to realize at some point…

Hi HN. I'm the president and founder of a small non-profit called Reclaim The Records that identifies historical and genealogical materials and data sets held by government agencies, archives, and libraries -- and then returns them to the public domain, for free public use. Back in September 2017, our organization made a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the US Department of Veterans Affairs (the VA) asking for a copy of a database they maintain called "BIRLS", which stands for the Beneficiary Identification Records Locator Subsystem. While it's not exactly an index of every…

just wanted to share ward, a tool i hacked together to encrypt and manage sensitive files in a vault folder. it's written in bash and meant to be cloned and then stored using git or version control. you don't have to store it that way, it's just why i created it. what ward does: encrypts the files in ./vault/ into a single .gpg file, checks to see if your files have been tampered with, generates totp codes if you need them to recover critical accounts. how to use it: clone the repo, toss your files into the vault directory, and run yarn encrypt. now commit your new [private]…

I was inspired by mitchellh's Vouch project, an explicit trust system where maintainers vouch for contributors before they can interact with a repo. Ghostty uses it to filter out AI slop PRs. Because Vouch exposes the vouch list as a plain text file (VOUCHED.td), I realized I could aggregate them across GitHub and build a reputation index. A crawler finds every VOUCHED.td file, pulls the entries, and computes a weighted score per user. Vouches from high-star repos count more than vouches from zero-star repos. Next step is to wire up an API so that the vouch GH action can start to use this…

The DOJ released ~3.5M pages of Epstein documents across 12 datasets. Buried in them are 207 academic papers and 14 books that nobody was really talking about. From what I understand these papers aren't usually freely accesible, but since they are public documents, now they are. I don't know, thought it was interesting to see what this dude was reading. You can check it out at jeescholar.com Pipeline: 1. Downloaded all 12 DOJ datasets + House Oversight Committee release 2. Heuristic pre-filter (abstract detection, DOI regex, citation block patterns, affiliation strings) to cut noise 3. LLM…
