Show HN: Ledge.sh – Runnable Markdown Notes
28 by dancablam | 18 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HN, Ledge is a Markdown notebook that runs shell commands, code, SQL, etc from inside your own notes. I built Ledge because I spend much of my day copy/pasting commands from my notes into the terminal. I was inspired by how much cmux helped me organize my terminals - but there was still a split brain between my notes and frequently run commands. I've been daily-driving it for the past few weeks and use it for deploys, API calls, smoke tests, etc. Ledge runs your real shell just like a terminal app and can be hosted locally or remotely over SSH using ledge-server. I've been building it since July and have recently added support for all the major platforms: Mac (Silicon), Windows (WSL required), Linux, iOS, Android. Mobile devices require SSH access to a ledge-server and Android is still in beta and looking for beta testers (see link on website)! It's built on Bun and Electrobun and is free and open-source. Feel free to review the code and contribute at https://ift.tt/Nyb7uQC Feedback is very much welcome. Any must-have features that are missing?

Show HN: HN.watch – Videos of all Hacker News posts
30 by mrborgen | 8 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HN, I’m Per, founder of Scrimba (YC S20). We’ve spent the last decade teaching people how to code with an HTML-based video format. We’ve now plugged an LLM into it, so that people can create explainer videos about anything. It’s called “Scrimba Explain”. To demo this technology for Hacker News, we built HN.watch. It’s like HN, but with explainer videos instead of articles. We create them on-the-fly the first time someone clicks on a link. While there are obvious visual drawbacks of using HTML instead of diffusion models, there are three big benefits: - Speed: Much faster to generate than pixel-based videos (just a few seconds from click to playback) - Cost: Our cost per video is ~$0.04. (Excluding image generation, which some videos utilize. Quickly blows up the cost) - Easy editing: the above benefits also make AI-assisted editing cheap & fast Our hypothesis is that if video creation goes from “dollars and minutes” to “cents and seconds”, a bunch of new use cases will be unlocked. Here are some we see already: - A video explanation of every single Pull Request (we do this internally) - Give every page in your internal/extrernal docs a video - Turn a complex article into a video in ~4 seconds (via our Chrome extension) - Course creators can quickly draft lessons before recording the real thing - People also create a lot of personal stuff stories for their kids, wedding invitations, birthdays, etc The stack is based on an open-source programming language (Imba) created by our CTO, Sindre Aarsæther. It compiles to JavaScript, so it interoperates fully with the npm + node ecosystem. You can learn more here: https://imba.io/ We’ve also built our own sync engine (OP), and a context management system for agents (Q). We feared this would make the LLMs struggle when writing code for us, as neither is in their training data (there’s very little Imba in there too). However, we’ve been pleasantly surprised to see that LLMs actually are really good at our stack. This is probably because the stack is extremely dense. Imba is compact, and so is OP, where a single declaration sets storage, sync, permissions, UI, and what the AI sees. This means there’s no translations between frontend, API, db and JSON where the model can get confused and get things wrong. Simply said, instead of using React.js, Express, Supabase, and LangChain, we built it all from scratch. Definitely suffering from the “not invented here” syndrome, lol! As for the models, we use Gemini, GPTs, Inworld, ElevenLabs, and a few others. If you want to try it out, just take your pick: - The Web UI (scrimba.com/explain) - MCP (add it to your coding agent) - ChatGPT Plugin - Chrome Extension You can find a link to all of the above in our docs: https://ift.tt/e7gantS And finally, a real pixel-based video of the tool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6rbHmBxSEs Would love to hear your feedback and if anyone has ideas for other use cases. PS: I expect quite a bit of pushback from HN for this launch, given how fan of text the HN crowd is. This kind of tool is not for everyone. But there are a lot of people today who prefer videos over text, especially in the younger generations.

Show HN: AutoBot – live voice control for long-running AI work
6 by demeyer1 | 0 comments on Hacker News.
I wanted to manage long horizon agentic workstreams via voice, then put my phone down, and have a harness manage completion - extending into full computer use. I was trying to build a personal Jarvis, so I benchmarked AutoBot to see how close I could get: - OSWorld: 32.41% (moved Sol Max from 4th to 1st, beating Opus 5) - AssistantBench: 50.70% Hermes and OpenClaw, but without needing a weekend and VMs. And with the ability to manage deep personalization AND keep strict privacy rules, storing data on encrypted disk. AutoBot is a passion project that grew out of trying to make this all work for myself. I’m sharing it here because I suspect other here have the same frustration. And I’m curious what else everyone is doing for this. It’s an MIT-licensed harness that lives within a project. Native voice lets me discuss tasks, check progress, and steer work; a local ledger tracks unfinished outputs and the evidence needed to call them done. Memory drives more autonomy over time, and “defrags and locks in learning nightly” while a heartbeat system persists execution. I’m not selling anything. If you’re building something similar for yourself, I’d love to compare notes. GitHub: https://ift.tt/VsutbUr

Show HN: DOOM in the kernel, or fibers in eBPF
6 by ayles | 2 comments on Hacker News.
Some time ago my coworker who was working on first version of Perforator ( https://ift.tt/B7Q8I5J ) kept talking about eBPF, so I got curious about its ISA and restrictions. That was around the time I read about DOOM on pregnancy test, so I thought: "what if someone run DOOM inside of Linux kernel in eBPF? Surely, with some restrictions, this should still be possible?" I started to play around with it somewhere in 2024 - first stripping DOOM to bare minimum that is needed for showcase, simplifying code and trying to pass first restrictions that I encountered - function limit, recursion, memory access and checks. I tried to do this by hand, but it was, well, tedious labor. So I changed direction and instead started to do some of the things with LLVM-passes - rewriting memory access, simplifying and rewriting loops etc. But there were just so many corners. And given absence of time and all, I forgot about this project. But couple months ago I thought: "LLMs are quite good nowadays, so why not try again this time with more hands". I tried different approaches on how memory access could be "virtualized", how loops can be made bounded, and in general - how to run unbounded logic on such a machine. When I got DOOM running, I got carried away. Approach was so "generic", so it would be a crime not to try to run more things. And now we have it - lua running on xdp hot path, llama2 working with softfloats, and even cpython, that did not fit initially into 1M verifier budget, is running there now thanks to freplace. There is ton of work to do in order to make programs run faster, to make integration easier, but working examples are already there.

Show HN: TERMy – A fast terminal assistant that does not use LLMs
1 by gioscarab | 0 comments on Hacker News.
I love research and development, you may have heard of me because of PJON (Padded Jittering Operative Network). It is a network protocol I started developing in 2010, which was recently implemented in silicon by the ETH Zurich university thanks to the research of Pius Sieber. I am excited to share with you TERMy, a terminal assistant built on top of the NPC-Forge framework. Unlike everything else being built today, TERMy does not use embeddings, machine-learning or LLMs. It runs on the CPU (even on a Raspberry Pi Zero) both in the terminal or client-side in a browser tab and responds in milliseconds. It is a cynical but very knowledgeable Linux terminal assistant that translates your natural language into shell commands without relying on a single artificial neuron. I had a chance to focus for 2 months on my personal projects since early July, during the strange times of AI price hikes and the end of subsidized tokenmaxing. I was curious to see if I could develop from scratch a terminal assistant capable of handling simple natural language requests. I have a bad memory and got used to ask to copilot "activate the virtual environment" or similar trivial operations spending a non negligible sum every month. I started thinking, maybe I can do something to make my workflow more efficient? Do I really need trillions of parameters to accomplish those tasks? How it Works When you type a prompt, it goes through a lightweight NLU pipeline written in ~1000 lines of Python that implement the following steps: 1. Strip expletives, interjections, encouraging, discouraging and thanking words (remove noise) 2. Sentiment analysis 3. Exact Match (very fast) 4. Template Match (slower) 5. Probabilistic Match (even slower) Step 5 relies on: 1. IDF (Inverse Document Frequency) to identify rare words. 2. BOW (Bag Of Words) to accommodate word inversions. 3. IDF weighted Levenshtein to safely handle typos. Permission gating is hardcoded into the dataset and enforced for all potentially destructive commands, so it's inherently safer than letting an unpredictable LLM run wild on your machine. - TERMy in operation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeIp0xePLBg - Variance and typo tolerance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQvGDk6fkk0 - Copilot integration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wzzouhq2a8A - Advanced features: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeIp0xePLBg - Source Code: https://ift.tt/bMvQfV3
