   Project mention: CAPTCHAs can still detect AI agents | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-05-29

   CAPTCHAs are great. Exploiters get around them with proprietary anti-detect browsers and unethical residential proxies, while privacy browsers and affordable privacy VPNs get blocked and shadowbanned to death.

   Fingerprint.com, while not a CAPTCHA, gives you +3 suspicious score for using privacy settings like adblock on your browser.

   https://github.com/CloakHQ/CloakBrowser is a good anti-detect browser as well as CAPTCHA bypass.

    Project mention: Computer Use Is 45x More Expensive Than Structured APIs | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-05-05

    Many people are working on that :-)

    Apps written now will have mcp servers / AI compatibility when relevant

    The issue that still needs solving is how to make llms interact with everything we already have and use efficiently

    Most of the time that means reverse engineering, either the app itself or the APIs it uses

    From github (not my projects):

    https://github.com/SimoneAvogadro/android-reverse-engineerin... => reverse engineer android app APIs from APKs

    https://github.com/HKUDS/CLI-Anything => convert ooen-source GUI apps to clis

    https://github.com/kalil0321/reverse-api-engineer => API reverse engineering from traffic (claude skills)

    My take at the same issue:
