One of the first in-browser vibe coded game demos I saw was Half-Life 2, fwiw. Not sure if it was decomped.

One interesting thing that is relevant today -- I generally write drafts of READMEs in whatever model I am developing with, and end up rewriting almost all of it. Today I pasted my readme from claude into Gemini 4 Argon, and asked it to rewrite for natural reading and clarity, and got the current README. I'm impressed!

Show HN: Pippin – macOS High-Performance Screen Sharing Client for Linux

jonesy827 — Tue, 13 Oct 2026 17:41:25 +0000

Hi HN, I built pippin, a native Rust client for macOS's "High-Performance" Screen Sharing mode on Linux. There are lots of options that can get you usable, high resolution remote access to macOS from non-Apple devices, but until recently there were no options that did not require installing and maintaining a server on your Mac.

Apple normally restricts High-Performance Screen Sharing (HEVC 4:4:4 video, system audio, and dynamic display resizing) to Mac-to-Mac connections. A week or two ago I discovered iShareScreen (https://github.com/renegadelink/iShareScreen), which did the heavy lifting of reverse-engineering Apple's protocol into a working Python client.

I did have some performance issues using the python implementation on a few of my machines, so I used iShareScreen as a reference and built a Rust client with Claude.

Interesting, Google's own article says it's rolling out today to Ultra subscribers. No mention of Pro.

>These permission prompts are a part of a macOS subsystem called Transparency, Consent, and Control (TCC), although Apple doesn’t seem to use this name anymore.

I have a PiKVM on my Mac Mini for this reason, and I bet the author would be well served by one as well.

Yes, it does work with Fairydust, but you do need to use a USB-C cable in place of the included thunderbolt cable at the moment.

HDMI out works great on M1 and M2 chips, and DP alt mode output is nearly ready, and works if you compile an experimental kernel. I daily drive an Asahi Linux ALARM M1 Pro macbook, and I have almost zero complaints.

The Asahi installer does this automatically, it guides you through sizing. You run it in a macOS terminal. By default, Asahi will be the default boot option, and to get to macOS you hold the power button on boot until it says "Loading startup options..."

I have two M1 pro asahi macbooks, and I only use macOS for VirtualDJ or AirPlay.

Unless you run overnight, you could schedule a cron job to send a basic claude -p prompt such as "reply with hello" using haiku to align your usage windows. That's what I do.

I've been using the 35B-A3B today for some web scraping work, and it has been on par with Qwen3.8 27B at a much higher speed and at a higher quant (q4 vs q8). I'm impressed.

I found more that weren't accepted than I did that were in the couple minutes I played -- Michelle Obama, Melania Trump, Kate Middleton, Rosa Parks, Marie Curie, Ada Lovelace

Cool idea!

I started using herdr last night, and was able to get a workflow I've wanted to set up for a while working, which is to be able to talk to a managing agent in my car and check on / update claude sessions. It uses Telnyx SIP and LiveKit cloud, and I'm using Qwen3.6 35B-A3B quite successfully as the voice layer router. It's still very early but it works quite well.

If you decide to try it out, please make sure to read the security implications. There is no sandboxing added as of yet, and guardrails are pretty minimal.
