Ask HN: If a few labs keep the frontier models internal, is that the end of YC?
Ideal title that was too long:
> Ask HN: If a few labs keep the frontier models internal, is that the end of YC and the USA's service economy?
My gut tells me that the only reason for "slowing the frontier" is that economists at the labs have told them that the entire economic system will collapse if they eat all knowledge work.
There are many rational reasons to keep them internal: safety, distillation, and regulatory.
Am I way off base here?

Show HN: Kursal, a decentralized E2E encrypted messenger
I'm building Kursal for over a year now. All backend is built in Rust for speed and safety.
No central server and no accounts. Peers connect over libp2p [1] and messages go through a Double Ratchet + PQXDH (Signal's protocol), so it's resistant to quantum attacks too.
I experimented with decentralization and encryption, and described it all on a technical paper [2]
All open source, of course, and I'd love having feedback!

Show HN: Clx 0.4.0 – native compiler for Lua
clx is a native compiler that compiles Lua 5.5 scripts to standalone executables. Version 0.4.0 is out, focused on performance and stability :
- New generational garbage collector
- Faster function calls
- Faster table iteration using next(), pairs(), ipairs()
- Faster string operations using SIMD instructions on x64 and ARM64
- Optional dynamic execution of Lua code using an embedded Lua VM with seamless interoperability with native code
- Better stability : several rare crashes caused by values being freed too early while native code was still using them are fixed
- As a real-world test, clx can now compile the Teal compiler into a native standalone executable, and it produces the same output as standard Lua when compiling Teal scripts
- clx is faster than Lua 5.5 in well known Lua benchmark scripts, and competitive with LuaJIT on many of them
Feedback and bug reports are welcome !
