Show HN: Secure managed hosting for OpenClaw (free and BYOK)

Hacker News - Mon, 02/09/2026 - 11:49pm

It’s managed hosting for OpenClaw aimed at people who want an always-on personal AI assistant but don’t want to self-host / debug infra.

What it does

- 1 minute setup: sign in with Google → connect Telegram → connect your LLM provider - Isolated runtime: your OpenClaw instance runs isolated (smaller blast radius vs “run on your laptop/VPS”) - Access control: allowlist who can message your bot (DMs + groups) - Keys handled safely: credentials stored encrypted and kept separate from the OpenClaw instance - Usage + cost visibility: dashboard for tokens/cost so you can spot “token burn” - Tutorials: step-by-step guides for OpenAI / Anthropic / Gemini / OpenRouter / Kimi keys + setup credentials - Multiple instances: you can spin up several OpenClaw instances (a "personal AI team" with roles)

Current status / limitations

- Telegram is supported today; more channels later. - You bring your own model/provider keys (BYOK). - Early-stage project — I’d love feedback on onboarding, security assumptions, and what features matter most.

Ask HN: How do you interpret P99 latency without being misled?

Hacker News - Mon, 02/09/2026 - 11:46pm

I’ve seen many teams rely heavily on P50/P95/P99 latency numbers, but still miss real user pain or misdiagnose incidents.

Recently I tried to write down a more systematic way to reason about latency distributions in production: how different distribution shapes behave, why aggregation and sampling often lie to us, and why segmentation (by endpoint, tenant, region, workload) usually matters more than adding more percentiles.

I’m curious how others here approach this in practice:

Do you have a mental model for interpreting P99 during incidents?

What charts or breakdowns have actually helped you debug latency issues?

Have you been burned by “good-looking” percentiles that hid real problems?

I wrote up my notes here for reference: https://optyxstack.com/performance/latency-distributions-in-practice-reading-p50-p95-p99-without-fooling-yourself

Would love to hear how people handle this in real systems.

Show HN: Seedance2.live – One place to try many AI image and video models

Hacker News - Mon, 02/09/2026 - 11:37pm

I've been playing around with a bunch of AI image and video models and got tired of jumping between different sites, so I put them all in one place.

Right now there are 45+ models you can try — text-to-image, text-to-video, image-to-video, effects, etc. You can pick a model yourself or just let it auto-select one for you. No signup needed to try it out.

Honestly I'm really looking forward to Seedance 2.0 — it can do multi-shot video in one go and you can feed it images, video, and audio as references instead of just text. That's huge. The moment the API is available I'm plugging it in.

Would love to hear what you think.
