New Open Source from Non-Traditional Builder

Let me begin by saying that I am not a traditional builder with a traditional background. From the onset of this endeavor until today it has just been me, my laptop, and my ideas I learned how systems work through trial and error, and I built these platforms because after an exhaustive search I discovered a need. I am fully aware that a 54 year old fantasy novelist with no formal training creating one experimental platform, let alone three, in his kitchen, on a commercial grade Dell stretches cr

Ask HN: Is DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation on RTX 4000 a HW or SW Lock?

NVIDIA markets Multi Frame Generation 3x&#x2F;4x as an RTX 5000 exclusive feature. But is this actually a hardware limitation, or is it software-enforced?<p>I&#x27;m curious if anyone has looked into this. Specifically: - Whether Ada Lovelace architecture is technically capable of MFG 3x&#x2F;4x - Whether the limitation lives in the driver or the hardware itself - Any prior research on nvlddmkm.sys or DLSS internals

Show HN: Arxitect – Claude Code plugin for software design principles

Show HN: Arxitect – Claude Code plugin for software design principlesModern coding agents are getting exceptionally good at implementing a given coding task. And with validation-in-the-loop, you can be reasonably confident they will implement a correct solution. However, their implementation often leaves a lot to be desired. It doesn&#x27;t adhere to the decades of software design best-practices that the community has established and is often myopic to broader software quality attributes like ma

Ask HN: Running legacy IE/ActiveX clients without local admin rights?

We are currently maintaining a very old client-server architecture. The server collects real-time data from a large number of sensors and controllers, transmitting it to a legacy database under continuous, massive load (writes every few seconds).The problem is the client side. It’s ancient, strictly requires Internet Explorer, and heavily relies on ActiveX. If a standard domain user launches the browser, the data fails to load and the browser completely hangs. It only functions correctly if run

Ask HN: Building a deterministic AI substrate on legacy hardware

I have been working on this in isolation for the last 7+ years. I have reached the absolute limit of what I can do as a solo architect without &quot;production plumbing.&quot; I am at a survival wall and am looking for a bridge and technical partners to move this from a research PoC to a production-grade engine. I am developing a deterministic alternative to the current probabilistic &quot;Token Economy.&quot;The Asset: A zero-inference, symbolic AI substrate. It is not an LLM wrapper. It is a l

Architecting for agentic AI development on AWS

If you’re architecting cloud systems for AI development on AWS, you’ve likely discovered that traditional architectures create friction for AI agents. Many cloud teams are experimenting with AI coding assistants but quickly discover a gap between what these tools promise and what their architectures allow. When an AI agent generates code, it often takes minutes—or hours—before you can validate whether that change actually works. Slow deployment cycles, tightly coupled services, and opaque code b

GenAI-based development platform - part 3: Announcing Isolarium, three flavors of secure sandboxes for GenAI-based coding agents

I’m pleased to announce that I’ve open-sourced Isolarium, a companion project to Idea to Code workflow that provides secure sandboxes for running GenAI-based coding agents like Claude Code.This article is part of a series about the GenAI-based development platform (a.k.a. harness) that I’ve been developing to make GenAI-based coding agents like Claude Code more productive, more secure and less frustrating.The complete list of articles in the series is as follows: Part 0 - My GenAI development w

LiveObjects now available: shared state without the infrastructure overhead

Shared state is a hard problem. Not hard in the abstract, computer-science sense (the concepts are well understood). Hard in the someone has to actually build this sense, where every team that wants a live leaderboard, a shared config panel, or a poll that updates in real time ends up reinventing the same wheels: conflict resolution, reconnection handling, state recovery.Most teams do not want to spend their time building and maintaining that layer. They want to ship the feature that depends on

Show HN: Drop – Linux sandboxing for LLM agents and untrusted code

Drop is a Linux sandboxing tool with a focus on a productive local workflow. Drop allows you to easily create sandboxed environments that isolate executed programs while preserving as many aspects of your work environment as possible. Drop uses your existing distribution - your installed programs, your username, filesystem paths, config files carry over into the sandbox.The workflow is inspired by Python&#x27;s virtualenv: create an environment, enter it, work normally - but with enforced sandbo

Show HN: Kage – TUI for managing multiple AI agents with tmux and Git worktrees

Hi HN! I built kage to manage multiple AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) in parallel using tmux and git worktrees.<p>The idea came from wanting to parallelize feature development instead of waiting on one agent at a time.<p>Would love feedback on: - usability of the TUI - workflow with tmux&#x2F;worktrees - any missing features<p>Thanks!

Show HN: How I built a resume editor using AI with zero web dev experience

Hi,I have recently been applying for summer internships and got frustrated when tailoring my resumes in Word. I started learning Python last autumn, but had absolutely zero experience with web development or deploying something to the front&#x2F;backend. I wanted to experiment with the new coding agents to build a resume editor that would make my application process less painful.Here it is: www.tailortojob.appHow I built it: A friend helped me set up the initial infrastructure because I struggle

Show HN: Running AI agents across environments needs a proper solution

Hi HN folks,I have been building AI agents for quite some time now. The shift has gone from LLM + Tools → LLM Workflows → Agent + Tools + Memory, and now we are finally seeing true agency emerge: agents as systems composed of tools, command-line access, fine-grained system capabilities, and memory.This way of building agents is powerful, and I believe it is here to stay. But the real question is: are the systems powering these agents ready for that future?I do not think so.Using Docker for a sin

Show HN: FrogDB – yet another "Redis in Rust" project

It’s been a big week for RIIR Redis projects as someone posted one earlier this week so I’m throwing my hat in the ring.I’ve been experimenting with building an “improved” version of Redis using Rust as a personal project over the last few months in what started as a “what if” and has become something I’ve found myself more and more interested in. After the HN post last week I decided to see if there’s interest in such a more serious project that, despite having a bunch of AI-generated code. sti

Show HN: I wrote a macOS C++ audio driver to fix HDMI volume controls

Hi HN, If you’ve ever plugged an external monitor (HDMI&#x2F;DisplayPort) or a USB DAC into a Mac, you probably know the frustration: the volume keys instantly die, the volume slider greys out, and macOS throws a icon at you. Apple strictly treats digital outputs as &quot;Fixed Volume&quot; devices and refuses to apply software gain. I got tired of this, so I built SoundBridge – an open-source, ultra-lightweight system audio router that natively restores volume controls for any external device.

Show HN: On-device meeting transcription for your Mac

Hi HN!Like a lot of people, I love Granola and use it every day. The onboarding experience, the numerous delighters, the flourishes and the way it just works are all testament to the quality bar you can clear with an Electron app given enough care and expertise. It was the first app I&#x27;d ever used which recorded system audio on Mac without recording video too, which sparked a year-long obsession with Apple&#x27;s Core Audio taps API, led to me creating an open source Swift library which make
