Show HN: Privacy Layer for Frontier Modelshttps://privai-sandy.vercel.app
Kinda crazy how many people submit their sensitive information to frontier models. Tax documents, health data, financial transactions etc. Built this as a proof of concept. Venice AI is on a similar wavelength where they limit identity connected to prompts, but not information in the prompts. Sometimes it's tough to actually filter all sensitive information and keep the same quality in responses. I can share the github if anyone is interested. Note: Was also experimenting with OpenMed Privacy Filter on my mac, but it is not compatible with a linux server. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinato…

Show HN: Flyingcar.pet – a physics simulation of Tesla's flying Roadster stunthttps://flyingcar.pet

I kept watching the Tesla Roadster's flying video and wondered how much force would be required to pull off a stunt like that since it seemed unreal to me, so I asked Claude Opus 5.5 to create a simulation for me. I gave Opus one task: look at the video and create a simulation like that using three.js, matching the video as closely as possible. I'd thought that Opus would one- or two-shotted this since in my mind it was just estimating height and distances and working backwards to compute the thrusts. Little did I know this would turn into a multi-day project. Opus's first hurdle was r…
