I'm wondering if there exists a US equivalent of Anabin[0] -- a German portal and database for evaluating foreign educational certificates. [0]: https://ift.tt/MaowHlQ

Show HN: A dashboard for tracking SK Hynix price gaps across exchanges

I built this after SKHY began trading to make it easier to compare the US ADR with SK Hynix’s Korean shares. The dashboard adjusts for FX and the ADR conversion ratio. It highlights the current pricing gap, how it changed over time, and comparable trading volume. Data comes from Yahoo Finance. Feedback is welcome!

Ask HN: AI Agent and harness containerization/security recommendations
2 by dv35z | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hello HN crew - I am seeing the tendency for people to allow AI agents to access local project & user folders, and beyond (operating system files). I thought to ask the question: How can we best use AI tools safely - where the workflow often runs local system commands and network commands - to protect the integrity of our systems & data AND be easy enough to use productively? Comment structure idea: Operating system / Agent harness / Agent / Security strategy & tool stack / Workflow To give some examples: I am currently using OpenCode (+DeepSeek) on Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE), and I notice that the Agent & harness is frequently asking to create files in /tmp/ - I usually forbid this, and instruct it to only use files in the current folder. I would rather that the tool ONLY have access to a given project folder (~/Projects/PROJECT-NAME) in a system-enforced way. However, I see that the agent often wants to run system commands (like `ps` to debug a local dev server, `pandoc` or `ffmpeg` for file conversion, etc). This starts blurring the line - so I'm thinking that in order for the AI agent to be useful, I can consider giving it access to an isolated operating system - leading me to think about Virtual Machines, Docker containers, and so on. That introduces complexity like, "Should I be using shared folders between my system/VM?" etc. Would love to hear what's been working for you, the "ideal" state, and practically how we can implement it. I ought to mention that I'm frequently teaching technology (including AI) to somewhat newbies - so I am trying to find that balance, that lets them get easily something done effectively, but gives them security/integrity practices by default starting off, so they don't get into an awful jam ("The AI deleted my project/computer!"). Thanks!

You write a standard solution, just like on LeetCode, and run it through the CLI. It identifies the problem by ID or title, executes your code against local test cases, and shows the result. It currently supports around 800 problems and multiple languages, including Python, C++, Rust, Java, Go, TypeScript, Swift, and others. The project is still an MVP. System design, SQL, and concurrency problems are not supported yet, but support for more problem types is planned.
