Hi HN, I spent the last few months reading the RISC‑V specification to build the lightest possible sandboxes. The idea behind a vpod is to quickly spin up a Linux sandbox from snapshots (Alpine by default) without any setup or subsystem required. The trade-off for portability and security is raw CPU speed. So we don't expect it to match native workloads with Python or pip, for example. More info is in the README https://github.com/capsulerun/vpod Happy to answer any questions!

Hey HN! I'm Zach from Adam ( https://adam.new/ ). We're building AI agents for mechanical CAD software. We’ve built the company on two fundamental beliefs: - AI will be the primary medium for creating mechanical designs just like it is in software today. - The best paradigm for CAD generation is to generate CAD as code (text -> code -> CAD). We’re building CADAM, an open source Text to CAD platform. It's a React app (TanStack Start) with a Supabase backend for auth, database, and file storage. T

I've created an in-browser Python/Pandas/Git practice environment for my online learning platform and also for my corporate training classes. I'd be happy to discuss how I went about designing this, how I'm using it in my classes, and the architectural decisions I've made. Most interesting, to me, is how much is running in the browser. Thanks to Svelte, Pyodide, isomorphic-git, LightningFS, and CodeMirror I'm able to provide a full environment for Python, Pandas, and Git. I built much of this wi

In the last month it seems like I've experienced a surge in businesses having IT screwups. For instance my wife paid my homeowner's insurance bill but they referred my bill to a lawyer for collections and canceled my policy. (To her credit when my agent was notified she got my policy reinstated) Now I have a UPS package that seems to have been stuck in Montana for a week but what I am seeing on the tracker doesn't make complete sense. Have I just had bad luck or are other people seeing this? Can
