Re:VedaOS Demo Video: A Mind-Blowing Agentic Operating System on Wednesday October 14, 2026 @06:15PM (#50096204)
how can these new OSes have gpu drivers, for example, for NVIDIA cards?

I know it has vm passthrough drivers and intel drivers, but to be useful, it needs to support many more hardwares.

can this be deployed as AWS lambda, so that it can scale down to zero?
Re:Show HN: An interactive 3D Pattern Language made with Astra on Thursday September 10, 2026 @06:30PM (#49651017)
what 's a 3d pattern language? a DSL?
almost all the time, it solves imaginary problems
pretty

customizable

cross-platform

has low level access (metal, vulkan, dx, wgpu)

over engineering
paying the cloud cost,

claude code subscription,

hiring contractors for (game) assets

hiring CPAs for taxing

does it have gpu support?
it is a binding, not an implementation
I do not understand.

how is this different from building smaller transformer layers, and each layer just denoises less?

how is this different from service worker?
can it run the chrome browser?
I couldn't find the source code in the repo
LGPL issues aside, will a project like this need to pay the h264 patent fee?

I recently vibe coded an e2e encrypted file vault for myself. I use it a lot. It also has built in offline music player and read-it-later.

I also have built a p2p based remote shell to manage my servers. Also works well.

Re:US Electricity Price Heat Map on Tuesday April 07, 2026 @10:52PM (#47684420)
It says California is cheaper than Texas? That contradicts my personal experience.
how much did you pay for APIs during the 2 months?
does it use the claude code api or the claude code cli? You know, the claude code api is more expensive.

I also hope it can have a webapp version, rather than electron. because most of our work are on a remote server.

Re:Show HN: OctoFlow – A GPU-native programming language on Thursday February 19, 2026 @04:10PM (#47079438)
I'm curious how a gpu language's syntax design can be different from CUDA kernel?

Because I think there is no way to avoid concepts like thread_id.

I'm curious how GPU programming can be made (a lot) simpler than CUDA.

I wonder if this type of hustling can be called moat building?

can you workaround the browser tab memory limit (4gb or 16gb) to process long clips?
