Show HN: Darwin-VM – run the latest iOS and macOS in QEMU
For the past few months, I've been building support for running the latest SPTM-based versions of iOS and macOS into qemu. The idea is to create a lightweight barebones environment for playing around with / debugging XNU and low-level Darwin internals, kind of like a tiny busybox Linux system except running Darwin, and using an emulated Apple Silicon CPU (custom instructions/ privilege levels and all).With darwin-vm, you can directly boot the system using just an iOS/ macOS k
Show HN: Sesame - a local-first, open-source password manager
I have been working on Sesame, an open-source password manager that keeps your vault local by default. You don't need an account to create or use a vault, and the hosted service never receives the vault itself.
It's still early software and the independent security review isn't finished yet, so I am mainly interested in feedback, testing, and people looking through the code.<p>(Linux support is yet to be released on v0.1.2, but currently is in the works.)

Show HN: Sparrow-2 – Solving the cocktail party problem
Hey there, I’m Brian. I've been shipping conversational models over here at Tavus for the past two years. I want to tell you about our new audio-understanding model: Sparrow-2! It’s a new category of model and a unique new approach to conversational audio.Earlier this year we launched Sparrow-1, (at the time) our SoTA turn taking model. Since our Sparrow-1 launch, I’ve spent a lot of time listening to humans talking and trying to really understand how people know when to talk, when to liste

Hi HN, Yura here, co-founder of Alphie.In my previous YC company, we got a lot of good traffic, but only about 3% of it ever converted to demos.We tried RB2B and many other visitor resolution tools - but weren't happy with the accuracy.So, after that company was acquired, we decided to build our own platform.We've found a way to achieve a much higher ID rate and accuracy than most of the previous-generation visitor ID tools.Company-level visitor identification is about 3 times more acc

<h1>systemd linger and tmux</h1><p>Why can’t I make tmux the exception to linger=off in systemd? It beats having to `slay` but I don’t want systemd to `slay` /everything/ and I don’t want to have to use systemd to start tmux one way or another.</p>

Ask HN: Android OS with Linux level customisation
Hello HN,
I've been working with Android from the past few weeks and I have noticed that android is nowhere near customisable like linux.
So I've decided to develop a custom ROM that has exactly this. A fully customizable android with linux level customization.
Before I even start this project what are the most technician limitations for this project? Why has noone done this before? I would love to see critiques and why this doesn't work , I'm still learning android so I&#x
