Kubernetes is the last thing I wanted to see recreated for agents. It’s like Multics of cloud, now for agents. Complexity for the sake of it, powered by your favourite YAML slop bowl.

I've got access to their sandbox, don't know if I should've, lol

Huh. The idea is interesting, but I don't understand the decision of keeping it chat-like: it looks like the mix of the worst parts of Google Docs and Slack, I struggle to see how this will help people track decisions.

This can be improved though - I think that simply a separate collaborative doc and a chat linked to that doc would work way better.

Is there an SDK? Can I create the containers programmatically?

Show HN: GLP-RAM – Chrome extension reducing the browser memory appetite

mifydev — Tue, 14 Jul 2026 16:14:46 +0000

Hi!

I've been struggling to use Chrome on my M1 Mac, because of how much RAM it eats, and memory saver wasn't enough.

I've made this extension based on combination of features on multiple separate extensions: 1. When you click on the new tab, only the first tab loads in background, the rest will have a placeholder until you click. 2. Only 3 active tabs per window are allowed to be loaded, the rest will be killed. 3. The extension watches if you have unsaved input, paused or active media, or if the page is configured to send notifications and it keeps these tabs alive.

I've been using it for a couple of weeks and it allows me to open way too many tabs to handle :)

The extension is published in Chrome Web Store, let me know if you have any questions!

Based on comments below the solution is to make the API public and publish the architecture design, along with the binaries.

This way the company can avoid spending too much money on open sourcing the code, and the community can just rewrite the server while keeping the original binaries running.

This is a very myopic and unnecessary cynical sentiment. It's not about you - agents just need to run without your computer being on all the time. Coding is a background task that needs to run unattended now.

I predict that ntsync will eventually evolve into full blown ntoskrnl.ko and there would be virtually no overhead on calling Windows API. You can almost call it a Linux Subsystem for Windows.

Is it just aligning to EB1A standards, or more rigorous and picky process in general?

New comment by mifydev in "HyperAgents: Self-referential self-improving agents"

mifydev — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 20:47:15 +0000

I've been experimenting with similar concept myself. The linter loop is the only thing that can keep the agent sane in my opinion, and if anyone can generalize bun+tsc loop to other tasks, this would finally be a way to trust LLMs output.

I was annoyed at how Claude Code ignores my CLAUDE.md and skills, so I was looking for ways to expand type checking to them. So I wrote a wrapper on top of claude-agents-sdk that reads my CLAUDE.md and skills, and compiles them into rules - could be linter rules or custom checking scripts. Then it hooks up to all tools and runs the checks. The self improving part comes if some rule doesn't work: I run the tool with the session id in review mode, it proposes the fixes and improves the rule checkers. (not the md files) So it's kinda like vibe coding rules, definitely lowers the bar for me to maintain them. Repo: https://github.com/chebykinn/agent-ruler

mifydev — Tue, 24 Mar 2026 23:09:38 +0000

Hm, speculating a bit, but it feels like NTSYNC is essentially a beginning of NT Subsystem for Linux, or maybe ntoskrnl as a kernel module. Feels like the most clean and fast way to port Windows, since the rest of the interfaces are in the user space in real Windows. Essentially should be almost without overhead: user: [gdi32.dll,user32.dll,kernel32.dll -> ntdll.dll] -> kernel: [ntoskrnl.ko]

You can just boot freedos to run them, it will execute in real mode which has the same cpu instructions as 40 years ago.

I'm quite concerned about x86 future, but the article has a point if you read it past the title.

It says that x86 is highly standardised - even with different combinations of chips, peripherals and motherboards you know it will work just fine. It's not the case for ARM systems - can you even have something similar to IBM PC with ARM?

I personally know that adding support for ARM devices on Linux is a huge and manual task - e.g. look at devicetree, it's a mess. There is no standard like ACPI for ARM devices, so even powering off the computer is a problem, everything is proprietary and custom.

I don't agree with the article though, x86 is dying and my worry is that ARM devices will bring an end to such an open platform like modern PCs are.

What about the screen refresh rate? Do they deliberately keep it at 60hz so people would buy a MacBook Pro?
