Proof of Good: Turning Acts of Generosity Into Digital Memories

This is a submission for Weekend Challenge: Generosity Edition Proof of Good turns an everyday act of generosity into a documented, shareable impact record. Your bank remembers every transaction you make. But when you buy meals for students, help someone pay a bill, or give supplies to a community, what remembers the good you did? Usually, the evidence ends up as a bank statement, a receipt buried in your camera roll, or a story that eventually gets forgotten. I wanted to build something that gi

Beyond the Transformer FFN: How CellularFlow Solves Catastrophic Forgetting

Beyond the Transformer FFN: How CellularFlow Solves Catastrophic Forgetting with Multi-Head Associative Memory By Celcilin C S (@celcilin) A deep dive into replacing dense feed-forward networks with addressable DNA memory banks, achieving zero-backpropagation streaming learning, and preserving 83.9% domain retention. If you take any state-of-the-art Large Language Model (LLaMA, Mistral, GPT-4) and train it sequentially on new domains—say, Medical notes, then Legal contracts, then Rust code—so

Turn a website security finding into a client-ready next step

A scanner can identify an observation. It cannot, by itself, settle every business decision that follows. For an agency managing client websites, a useful report needs to bridge that gap. The reader should be able to identify the affected website, understand the evidence and decide who should investigate next. Here is a practical reporting structure we use in Glarion. The examples below are fictional and illustrate communication, not findings about a real customer's website. Compare these two st

Designing the Risk Engine Behind CIDS

A security system can collect thousands of events. But collecting events is not the difficult part. The difficult part is deciding: Which events actually matter? This is where the Risk Engine becomes an important part of CyberMoranda CIDS. The purpose of the Risk Engine is not to simply assign a large number to suspicious activity. Its purpose is to combine security evidence, context, and behavior into a defensible risk decision. From Events to Risk Incoming Activity The Risk Engine sits between

PII Meets GenAI: What Actually Happens When Sensitive Data Enters Your Prompt?

"Don’t put sensitive data into an AI prompt." I hear this advice a lot, and while it makes sense, I think it oversimplifies the problem. As more applications start using GenAI to summarize documents, answer questions, support employees, or process customer information, sensitive data is going to show up in some of these interactions. So instead of only asking whether sensitive data should enter a prompt, I think there is another useful question to ask: What actually happens to that data once it

chrome-bridge: let any AI agent drive your real logged-in Chrome

Ask an agent to check something on a website and most tools spin up a clean browser with zero cookies. Playwright and friends drive a browser they launched, with a profile of their own. MCP browser bridges need an MCP-capable client and a configured server. Either way you start every session logged out. chrome-bridge takes the other road: it drives the Chrome you are already logged into. A tiny unpacked extension talks over WebSocket to a local zero-dependency Node server, and any agent that can
