The UNIX List
Alkalemia Verification video
This twelve-minute video module describes a method whereby any member of an Emergency Room ("ER") or Intensive Care Unit ("ICU") multispecialty team can verify that the pH value that the Clinical Lab has provided to them within a patient's Arterial Blood Gas (or "ABG") report is compatible with the Henderson Hasselbalch Equation. This task can be completed within seconds by using the Calculator "app" bundled within both Unix-based and Android-based smartphones.
AI That Thinks Like Your Brain: 3x Faster with 92% Less Energy
Jimmy DeJesus Co-Creator of Bravëtto AI just published 6 whitepapers on the next evolution of AI:*AI That Thinks Like Your Brain* - Works 3 times faster and uses 92% less energy. Instead of reading code word by word, it sees patterns all at once - like your brain does.*AI That Makes Better AI* - AI that designs new AI achieves 89% improvement and does it 6 times faster than humans can. Creates 3 times more different types of AI.*AI That Remembers Time* - Finally understands WHEN information was
Show HN: Superset – Terminal to run 10 parallel coding agents
Hey HN, we’re Avi, Kiet, and Satya. We’re building Superset, an open-source terminal made for managing a bunch of coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, etc) in parallel.- Superset makes it easy to spin up git worktrees and automatically setup your environment- Agents and terminal tabs are isolated to worktrees, preventing conflicts- Built-in hooks [0] to notify when your coding agents are done/needs attention,- A diff viewer to review the changes and make PRs quicklyWe’re three engineers who’v
Show HN: PeopleSoft Meet Node.js (and Python)
Hello PeopleSoft Developers! Santa has a gift for you!It was around a year ago, when the Integration Team at Azusa Pacific University, frustrated by the steps required to expose an HTTP endpoint from the Integration Broker, took the bold step to look elsewhere. Since we are a Node.js shop, we were dreaming of an API that would allow us to invoke get, create and save CI methods by passing a plain old Javascript object. The dream:```const appServer = Appserver.fromEnv();const myCI = appServer.ciFa
80.1 % on LoCoMo Long-Term Memory Benchmark with a pure open-source RAG pipeline
I just pushed the current SOTA on the LoCoMo long-term memory benchmark for agents: 80.1 % accuracy using only:

Show HN: Python Local Sandbox Code Execution (Podman and Uv)
The core idea: @sandbox(dependencies=["pandas"]) turns any function into one that runs inside an isolated Podman container with dependency caching built in on uv. You call it like a normal function, but the code executes with no access to your host filesystem, credentials, or processes.from pctx_sandbox import sandbox@sandbox(dependencies=["requests"])

Run Linux desktop on any recent Android phone or tablet
Hi,We make a Linux desktop distribution that runs as an application on top of any Android phone or tablet. The only requirement is that
the Android device needs to be rooted and use Google's standardized GKI kernel. Here is video of Linux desktop running on Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (OnePlus Pad 2) :

Show HN: Meds — High-performance firewall powered by NFQUEUE and Go
Hi HN,
I'm the author of Meds (https://github.com/cnaize/meds).Meds is a user-space firewall for Linux that uses NFQUEUE to inspect and filter traffic.
In the latest v0.7.0 release, I’ve added ASN-based filtering using the Spamhaus DROP list (with IP-to-ASN mapping via IPLocate.io).Key highlights: Zero-lock core, ASN Filtering, Optimized Rate Limiting, TLS Inspection, Built-in Prometheus metrics and Swagger API.Any feedback is very welcome!
Show HN: TethysRT, a tiny dynamic loader for 32 bit ARM embedded systems
I’ve been working on a lightweight runtime loader for Cortex-M (and 32-bit ARM more generally) that can load and relocate ELF modules from SD/ flash/ generic storage at runtime. It’s not a dynamic linker in the Linux sense, but it does perform symbol resolution and relocation against a host-defined ABI.The goal is to enable extensible firmware platforms without reflashing or statically linking everything into the main image. I’m sharing it both in case it’s useful to others, and to get
