Show HN: Easy Virtual Prototyping for Complex Computer Systems with SimBricks
Hi HN!
We are very excited to launch our new and heavily reworked version of SimBricks, the virtual prototyping solution we are developing for computer systems! Whether you are building the next generation analog processor, optical AI accelerator, or computer systems around such components, SimBricks provides you with a means to test this as part of a complete system including multiple machines, networks, and the complete software stack on top. Another interesting use-case case we are currently investigating with our first pilot customer are much more interactive demos for early stage sales when building new computer components.
SimBricks enables all of this through modular combination (with efficient combination and synchronization) of different existing or custom simulators (qemu, gem5, ns3, omnet, simics, verilator, vivado, ....) for different system components. We can scale to simulate systems with hundreds of components without substantially slowing down. Depending on the use-case we also span the gamut from simple behavioral (e.g. SystemC) models all the way to detailed gate-level simulations.
In addition to simply making all of this possible, one of our key strengths is making this (relatively) easy to get started with, and providing flexibility to integrate this in other tools and processes, both to provide inputs and also to work with the outputs.
Please check out SimBricks and let us know what you think. It's as easy as registering and then doing pip install and you are in business!

Show HN: There's No Cryptographic Integrity in How We Prove We're Safe
I built a platform that lets users verify their identity and run a background check—and securely share proof of a clean record without exposing personal details like full name, address, or date of birth.
This is something we found missing in all other services: they keep the data locked in their systems and share way too much when you want to prove you're safe. We built a privacy-first solution where you control your data.
Use case: You’re a high-profile individual or just privacy-conscious, and want to prove you're safe to meet—say on a dating app—without revealing where you live or your full legal name. Our platform gives you a verified badge, backed by real checks, that you can share with others. No oversharing, no centralized profile people can stalk.
It’s free now and we’re now integrating with dating apps so users can prove safety and trust without giving away the keys to their identity.
Would love feedback, questions, or collaborators.
Privacy and user-owned data are the future—and we’re pushing to make that real.

Ask HN: Why do DOGE stories never make it to the frontpage?
This morning I saw a news story that seemed pretty important for tech workers to be aware of [1]. I went to submit, and I was taken to a page where the post was already marked as "flagged" despite having 400+ upvotes in the 4 hours since original submission. However, the post had been flagged, so I was unable to see it on the front page. Who makes the decisions about what is getting flagged, and why does it seem that none of the really important DOGE news is allowed to surface?
