Daily AI News Digit: OpenAI $122B Funding, GPT-5.4-Cyber Launch, Anthropic $800B Valuation, Humanoid Home Robots
The global artificial intelligence landscape has reached a point of critical divergence, shifting toward high-stakes defensive and physical applications. Today, OpenAI finalized a historic $122 billion funding round at an $852 billion valuation, cementing its role as a central pillar of economic infrastructure. This massive capital concentration aligns with Anthropic’s reported valuation surge to $800 billion, driven by an annualized revenue run-rate jumping from $9 billion to $30 billion in jus
Show HN: I made a calculator that works over disjoint sets of intervals
I've been studying interval arithmetic for the past few weeks and it's a really interesting field because while there is a ton of super interesting research published over the past decades, it has never really gotten the recognition that it deserves, IMO.One reason for this is that standard interval arithmetic has really poor handling of division by intervals containing zero. If you compute 1 / [-1, 2] in regular interval arithmetic, you get either [-∞, +∞], or you have to say tha

Show HN: Ccmd – TUI to audit and clean developer caches
A terminal UI (TUI) for exploring, auditing, and cleaning developer cache directories on macOS and Linux. Scan cached packages for known CVEs, find outdated dependencies, and reclaim disk space — all from one tool.Developer machines accumulate tens of gigabytes of invisible cache data — ML models, package archives, build artifacts, downloaded bottles. ccmd makes it all visible, scannable for vulnerabilities, and safely deletable.brew tap juliensimon/tap && brew install ccmd

Show HN: Nilbox – Run OpenClaw without exposing your API tokens
I built this to run OpenClaw safely. The problem: every sandbox I tried still handed the real API token to the agent as an env var.nilbox never gives the agent the real token. It gets a fake placeholder instead (ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=ANTHROPIC_API_KEY). nilbox intercepts outbound API calls and swaps in the real token at the network layer.So if the agent leaks the "token" — attacker gets a useless string. That's it.Also ships a managed Linux runtime (consistent across mac/win/
Show HN: Chlibc – A ptrace-based tool to hot-swap glibc and interp in user-space
Hello, I built chlibc, a linux tool to change the system interp and glibc to your custom one.Normally, running an ELF against a different glibc, you'd use LD_LIBRARY_PATH and patchelf, or use chroot/docker.chlibc allows you to change the dynamic linker of a process on the fly without patching and root access.Key Features:- zero disk modification: no need for patchelf --set-interpreter.
- no root required: works entirely in user-space via ptrace
- multi-arch: native support for x86_64,
