Twoway, a Go package for HPKE encrypted request-response flows
Hey HN, I'm Willem from Confident Security, we've built CONFSEC, a provably private AI inference engine. Today, we're excited to open-source twoway: https://github.com/confidentsecurity/twoway twoway is a Go package that makes it easy to implement secure, encrypted request-response flows. It powers CONFSEC's blind prompt handling, ensuring no one, not even us, can see client requests. We built twoway on Cloudflare's circl/hpke, it uses Hybrid Public key Encryption to implement two flows: - A one-to-one flow where a sender communicates with a single receiver. This…

In the maker’s words, at launch
Hey HN, I'm Willem from Confident Security, we've built CONFSEC, a provably private AI inference engine. Today, we're excited to open-source twoway: https://github.com/confidentsecurity/twoway twoway is a Go package that makes it easy to implement secure, encrypted request-response flows. It powers CONFSEC's blind prompt handling, ensuring no one, not even us, can see client requests. We built twoway on Cloudflare's circl/hpke, it uses Hybrid Public key Encryption to implement two flows: - A one-to-one flow where a sender communicates with a single receiver. This flow is fully compatible with RFC 9458 Oblivious HTTP (OHTTP), and the chunked OHTTP draft RFC. - A one-to-many flow where a sender communicates with one or more receivers. Similar to the Apple's PCC's request flow. Other features include: - Compatibility with any transport, twoway deals with just the messages. - Chunked messages. - Allows for custom HPKE implementations for specialized needs like cryptographic hardware modules. Our README has clear examples to get you started, all you need to do is go get and try an encrypted "Hello world" exchange. Our team will be popping in to answer questions, we'd love to hear your feedback. Cheers! Willem

Hey HN! My name's Nadav Hollander, and I'm the Founder of Dharma. Dharma is building an open-source library that makes it really easy to programatically borrow and lend cryptocurrencies using smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain. Today we're launching our Alpha Testnet release -- a command line tool that allows you to 1. Access a line of cryptocurrency credit from the command line in under 5 minutes 2. Easily build a bot that auto-invests in loans under hyper-customizable, programmable criteria Check it out: https://github.com/dharmaprotocol/dharma-cli Why I Think…

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…

I went down the rabbit hole on a side project and ended up building this: Strange Attractors(https://blog.shashanktomar.com/posts/strange-attractors). It’s built with three.js. Working on it reminded me of the little "maths for fun" exercises I used to do while learning programming in early days. Just trying things out, getting fascinated and geeky, and being surprised by the results. I spent way too much time on this, but it was extreme fun. My favorite part: someone pointed me to the Simone Attractor on Threads. It is a 2D attractor and I asked GPT to extrapolate it to…

Hey all, I built this. It’s not trying to capture every autistic experience (that’d be impossible). It’s based on my own lived experience as well as that of friends on the spectrum. I'm trying to give people a feel for what masking, decision fatigue, and burnout can look like day-to-day. That’s hard to explain in words, but easier to show through choices and stats. I'm not trying to "define autism". I’ve gotten good feedback here about resilience, meds, and difficulty tuning. I’ll keep tweaking it. If even a few people walk away thinking, "ah, maybe that’s why my coworker struggles in those…
