Show HN: Natel, a self-hosted contacts editor for CardDAV servers in 20MB of RAM

Hi HN, I decided to move away from Google Contacts and self-host my contacts two months ago. After installing a Radicale server, I was really missing a way to edit my contacts on the desktop. Nextcloud is overkilled for my needs, and InfCloud is the only other web contacts editor but it hasn't had a release in more than 10 years.So I built what was the missing piece in my setup : Natel, a lightweight self-hosted contacts editor for a CardDAV server. The goal is to edit your contacts on the web, be robust enough to not make you lose anything when there's an edit conflict with the server, and be super light in resources on the server. I came up with building a docker image of just a proxy caddy server and a go process that stores your credentials only in-memory, for a compressed image of less than 30MB and it uses less than 20MB of RAM when idle.Tested against four CardDAV servers : Nextcloud, Radicale, Baïkal and Xandikos. I already use it myself and it syncs with my server and DAVx5 back-and-forth, but I consider it still in beta and want to add more testing to prove compatibility for features I don't (yet ?) use. Note that any field that isn't displayed is never lost, it's just written back as-is.Demo: https://demo.natel.app/contacts Website: https://natel.appI wouldn't have done this side-project if I couldn't delegate writing the code to agents. We iterate on architectural decisions together, and once I'm satisfied with the direction, they write the result in a file (find it in docs/DECISIONS.md in the repo), then write the code to meet the expectations and independently review each other's iterations. I drive the project's direction and decisions, but I don't review the code myself. I keep an eye on the tests to know what's covered, and will read and review code when an agent draws my attention to it. The e2e tests were able to find a bug in SoGO, a CardDAV server : https://bugs.sogo.nu/view.php?id=6269 (and I didn't add that server in the compatilibity list yet because that bug breaks one the promises of the app, which is to be warned if we're trying to delete a contact that is modified elsewhere ; the server doesn't correctly enfore the If-Match instruction)As I don't have that many users yet, I welcome feedback on any part of the project but especially the parts that I have not yet tested like Contacts on a Mac !

Startup Founders Are Using AI To File Patents. Here’s Where DIY Becomes A Liability.

AI can help startups reduce patent preparation costs, but DIY applications may overlook critical issues. In this guest commentary, attorneys Michael Drapkin and Nathan Mutter of AI-Native law firm Landfall IP, argue that combining AI with legal expertise can produce more efficient, commercially valuable patent protection that withstands investor scrutiny and is harder for competitors to circumvent.

Video-DCI: How Far Are VLM Agents from Human Viewers in Direct Video Corpus Interaction?

arXiv:2611.09951v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Humans answer complex visual questions by inspecting short moments, updating what they know, and redirecting attention toward missing evidence. Existing video benchmarks, however, often provide the relevant video, evaluate only final answers or isolated localization, or permit textual shortcuts, leaving multi-round visual evidence seeking underexplored. We introduce Video-DCI, a diagnostic benchmark and functionally matched human-agent protocol for Direct Video-Corpus Interaction. It comprises DCI-Loc for temporal evidence localization and DCI-QA for end-to-end discovery, retention, and composition of cross-video evidence. In DCI-QA, videos within each pool are topically related, yet every answer requires hidden temporal evidence from multiple videos. Given only the question and video pool, humans and agents iteratively inspect bounded local windows, retain supporting evidence, and answer with cited temporal spans. Human trajectories provide reference curves for evidence acquisition and use across rounds. Experiments reveal a consistent retrieval-to-grounding gap. On DCI-Loc, frontier VLMs often retrieve and expose the reference moment, yet convert far less of this exposure into precise final citations than the human reference. On DCI-QA, the loss begins earlier and compounds across videos. Ablation studies further confirm that iterative search outperforms one-shot retrieval. Multi-round search is therefore necessary but insufficient: current agents accumulate candidates and observations more readily than precise, jointly sufficient evidence.

Vercel Sandbox snapshot creation is now up to 10x faster

Vercel Sandbox has improved snapshot creation speed by up to 10x, with median time dropping to under 0.4 seconds from 4.4 seconds, and restore speed improving by 50% to 250ms at p50. The enhancements leverage the Vercel Hive Snapshot (VHS) format with more efficient data indexing, enabling parallel read and write operations and faster restoration of both base images and user data. Persistent sandboxes now automatically snapshot upon session end and resume from the latest snapshot by default, using the new format for all new snapshots while existing ones retain the previous format.

Show HN: We Gave AI Coding Agents Production Memory

Hi HN, I’m building Codela to help coding agents learn from what happens after their code ships.I realized that my AI agent writes a change, the tests pass, and it gets deployed. Then in production a problem happens, I fix it, but what it did wrong and why never reaches the agent, so futures session usually make the same mistake.Codela checks every deploy against how your app actually behaves in production, learns from the ones that broke it, and teaches your agents so they don’t repeat the mistake.Would love any feedback on this, thanks!
