The score comes from our model.

• Show HN: I built Airlock, to sandbox your AI agent and know what it's doing · score 7.7

  Airlock is a macOS tool that runs AI coding agents like Claude Code and Codex inside a sandboxed virtual machine, isolating them from your real filesystem and network. It provides per-file diff review before changes reach your project, monitors all processes, file touches, and network connections in real time, and supports macOS VMs that reuse your existing Xcode installation. This addresses a critical security gap in agentic coding by preventing agents from accessing sensitive data or making unreviewed changes.

• Show HN: NullPrime – do AI models know when they can't know? · score 7.0

  NullPrime is a benchmark dataset and protocol for testing whether AI models can recognize when a problem is unlearnable from its representation. It constructs prime/composite classification tasks where all small-prime divisibility signals are filtered out, making the label deterministic but unlearnable from features, and uses this as a negative control for LLM calibration and abstention. The project includes a pre-registered LLM study showing most models confidently answer at chance on these hard numbers.

• Show HN: DoubtBench – does Jev know when humans disagree? · score 6.5

  DoubtBench is a benchmark that evaluates decision models not just on accuracy but on whether their uncertainty aligns with human disagreement, using NVIDIA's HelpSteer2 dataset. It provides a leaderboard and tooling to run models like Jev and Claude, revealing that no current model hesitates where humans disagree, which is crucial for human-in-the-loop systems.
