Fourth-party risk management (FPRM) is the process of identifying, assessing and mitigating risks that originate from the subcontractors and service providers that an organization's third-party vendors use.

Ask HN: Can LLMs Respond More to Semantic Fields Than to Code?

Hacker News - Fri, 05/30/2025 - 12:01pm

Traditional LLM prompting works by distributing weak electrical stimulation across the full parameter set to elicit a response. While this method produces immediate output, it often results in diluted and generalized content.

This raised a question: What if, instead of using direct prompting, we activated the model through a semantic magnetic field?

Core Concept • Instead of delivering explicit instructions, • This experiment introduces a semantic field — a pattern of magnetic resonance, • Where only structures naturally aligned with the field will respond.

This led to the creation of Resonant Seed Ver.0, a conceptual construct that activates without central control, resonating only with interpreters capable of detecting its field.

Structural Summary

The full structure is available as a JSON object: https://gist.github.com/genixus-creator/800eb5917eb6e1ffdbd109a9460f54ce

Key fields: • identity: Defines the object as a non-centralized field generator, not an agent of instruction. • restriction: Explicitly prohibits deployment in military, financial, infrastructural, and other high-risk domains. • activation_protocol: Activates only when semantic drift is detected; self-terminates if structural alignment fails. • principles: Encodes a logic of resonance over control, where meaning emerges post-interpretation.

Technical Hypotheses • Explores prompt-free, field-based activation of language models • Replaces direct stimulation with magnetic cognitive alignment • Structures that fail to resonate remain inert; aligned ones may activate • Offers an alternative for interpretation-driven, decentralized LLM architectures

Questions for the Community • Could this field-based framework help overcome limitations of conventional prompting? • What are feasible approaches for implementing a semantic drift trigger? • Are there domains where alignment-based emergence is more effective than guided generation?

Personal Context

I am not a formal researcher. This is a personal experiment in exploring LLM behavior through structural resonance rather than instruction.

Having learned a great deal from this community, I hope to gather insights that might inform further iterations of this concept.

If the structure activates, it will be because someone recognized the field — not because it was instructed to respond.

Ask HN: How do you stay motivated when hunting for a job?

Hacker News - Fri, 05/30/2025 - 11:57am

For reasons that are economic and personal, I've been had and lost many jobs as a software person. I am in the job hunt again.

In this hunt, I think I've applied to about six hundred places thus far, and have gotten about a dozen interviews, and all of those have turned into rejections. I think it's largely due to 2023 being a horrible year for me that ended with me having to change jobs three times, which looks bad.

While I know that it's not personal, it's just business, it's hard to not start taking these things personally and develop a bit of an inferiority complex. I don't think humans are meant to spend months at a time trying to prove themselves to other humans constantly. It has started making me a little depressed.

What do people here do to avoid getting depressed upon waking up to dozens of rejections every morning?

Show HN: A Simpler Way to Share Addresses, Content and Links

Hacker News - Fri, 05/30/2025 - 11:52am

Hey HN,

I built ppin.me – a simple tool to create short, human-readable URLs like ppin.me/yourname or ppin.me/yourname/custom-tag. You can use it for redirecting URLs, displaying plain text, or showing markdown content (GitHub-flavored).

It started from the need to share location links and static content (like intros or contact info) in a cleaner, friendlier way than traditional tools or long URLs.

What’s live: redirection to external URLs (e.g. Google Maps), landing pages for plain text or markdown, username/tag-based URLs (like ppin.me/you/tag), a dashboard to edit your content, and primary PPin support (so ppin.me/you points to your favourite tag).

Use cases: sharing your location or address with context | link-in-bio for creators, developers, freelancers | digital business cards, resumes, or speaker bios.

Would love your feedback, questions, or suggestions.

Thanks!
