Thalian
Contextual analysis across your IT tools, from risk to fix
What it does
Most IT tools only see what they control. Thalian’s contextual analysis engine joins data across your identity providers, endpoint managers, and SaaS apps — then surfaces risks that only appear when you look across all of them, and act on them. The contractor whose access quietly expanded across four tools over six weeks. The team whose MFA coverage has been drifting since the last reorg. Connect in minutes, free 30-day trial, no credit card required. Pro at $179/month.

- SCSpice Cayenne – SQL acceleration built on VortexDec 2025 · spice.ai · ▲42
Hi HN, we’re Luke and Phillip, and we’re building Spice.ai OSS - a lightweight, portable data and AI engine and powered by Apache DataFusion & Ballista for SQL query, hybrid-search, and LLM-inference across disaggregated-storage used by enterprises like Barracuda Networks and Twilio. We first introduced Spice [1] on HN in 2021 and re-launched it on HN [2] in 2024 re-built from the ground up in Rust. Spice includes the concept of a Data Accelerator [3], which is a way to materialize data from disparate sources, such as other databases, in embedded databases like SQLite and DuckDB. Today we’re…
- CCCodex context bloat? 87% avg reduction on SWE-bench Verified tracesApr 2026 · npmjs.com · ▲10
If you had to build a context window manager in 24h, would you stick to the existing model or come up with something better? Here's what I did: 1. Built a proxy that intercepts Codex's calls to OpenAI and rewrites them on the fly. 2. Replayed 3,807 rounds of SWE-bench Verified traces through it: avg prompt 44k → 6k tokens (-87%). 3. Posted it to HN to get the next reduction applied to my confidence interval — starting with the inevitable "How about accuracy?" npx -y pando-proxy · github.com/human-software-us/pando-proxy

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

Built a ~9M param LLM from scratch to understand how they actually work. Vanilla transformer, 60K synthetic conversations, ~130 lines of PyTorch. Trains in 5 min on a free Colab T4. The fish thinks the meaning of life is food. Fork it and swap the personality for your own character.

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
