Show HN: Using LLMs and differential testing to convert code
This is the second part of a post aligned with a talk I gave recently at the Sydney Rust meetup.
I have found significant success in this process converting decompiled code and also converting source code from python to go. Give an LLM a target and they can be extremely stubborn (in a good way).

Show HN: Boardroom MCP - Multi-advisor governance engine for AI agents
Hey HN,
I noticed a recurring issue when building autonomous agents: they're great at execution but terrible at nuanced judgment. When faced with ambiguity, they just hallucinate the most statistically probable path without considering second-order effects.
Instead of trying to fix this with massive system prompts, I built an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that offloads decisions to a multi-advisor "boardroom."
How it works: 1. Agent encounters a decision -> calls the `analyze()` MCP tool. 2. Server routes the query to relevant advisors (from 38 domains, 450+ profiles). 3. Advisors debate. This is the core mechanic: if advisors agree too quickly, the system flags it. Tension is mandatory. 4. The server synthesizes the debate, logs it to a persistent LEDGER (so the agent has institutional memory), and returns a risk-scored recommendation.
I built this locally so there's zero cloud dependency and your agent data stays yours. It works natively with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, or any MCP client.
You can checkout the core engine here: https://github.com/randysalars/boardroom-mcp If you want to read the docs: https://salars.net/boardroom/docs
Would love to know if anyone else has experimented with structured multi-agent debate vs LLM-as-a-judge patterns.

Show HN: Swiss Operator – Swiss-style Hugo theme for engineering and tech blogs
Swiss Operator is a minimalist, Swiss-editorial Hugo theme focused on clarity, typography, and clean engineering-driven writing.
I built it because most Hugo themes lean heavily on visual noise, animations, or complex JS pipelines. This theme does the opposite: it uses a strict Swiss grid, balanced whitespace, and a two-column layout optimized for long-form technical or engineering notes.
It includes: - Zero JS build pipeline (pure Hugo Pipes) - Light/dark mode with persistent toggle - Category color accents inspired by Swiss editorial systems - Responsive 70/30 grid layout - i18n-ready structure - RSS support - Local or Google Fonts (Inter + JetBrains Mono)
Demo: https://carlosplanchon.com Source: https://github.com/carlosplanchon/hugo-theme-swiss-operator Screenshot: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/carlosplanchon/hugo-theme-...
Open to feedback, suggestions, and critiques about the layout, typography choices, and documentation. This is my first serious dive in frontend :)

Show HN: Lens – a web dashboard for Claude Code configuration
*Repo:* https://github.com/ugudlado/lens
Claude Code config is spread across 13 surfaces and 4 scope levels. Keeping track of what's actually configured — and where — means hunting through a half-dozen directories.
Lens scans everything in one go: see effective values merged across scopes, or break it down file-by-file. Edit, add, enable/disable entries inline. Switch between repos from the sidebar. Import config from another project when starting something new. `⌘K` to search across all surfaces and workspaces at once.
Install it as a Claude Code plugin:
``` /plugins add-marketplace github:ugudlado/lens /plugins install lens@ugudlado /lens:open ```
Contributions, ideas, and issues welcome — code is open for everyone.

Account was suspended permanently from hostinger
Hostinger suspended my account permanently without prior notice, I didn’t take backup on local of db, code and files. Without notice they suspended account. Now they are not providing any backup of server.
“We understand your situation and the importance of your files. However, after a permanent suspension for severe abuse, Hostinger cannot provide backups, code, or access—even temporarily. This restriction is enforced to protect all users and comply with legal and security policies, and the decision is final and cannot be reversed.
We also cannot share the abuse report itself, as it contains sensitive information and is protected by strict privacy and compliance rules.”
Now what i have to do? I am using hostinger from last 3 years but suddenly this happened. I have all data on there server, all my and my team hardword on there server of last 3 years. If they don’t provide me a data, I will loss all work, client as well. anyone can suggest, what I have to do. Anyone can help me?

Show HN: Pantagruel, an Accessible Specification Language
Hi HN!
Seven years ago I posted the very first version of PANTAGRUEL (my phone has started autocorrecting to all-caps; I have no idea why but I like it), a “lightweight formal methods” language.
Since then it’s gone through many iterations. I want to post it here because in the recent months it’s acquired a consistent, well-formed and documented type system, and an actual model checker.
In other words, it’s now a language of the same kind as something like TLA+ or Alloy. It differs from those in being (hopefully) radically simpler. It’s designed to be approachable with far less learning and specialization, and it’s designed to be effective in specifying not just software, but any type of formal system, including poetry and games.
If you’ve ever been interested in “tools for thought” and ways to make your own descriptions of things more precise and rigorous, it might be worthwhile to you.
