Show HN: Micron: a high performance C++23 (re)implementation of Libc and the STL
Howdy HN,I've been working on micron for quite some time now, and I've finally gotten it to a state where I'm ready to share it with other people. I've really been pruning and testing it quite heavily for the past few weeks looking to flush out any bugs/inconsistencies. micron is a header-only C++23 core systems library that runs on Linux without libc, without libm, without the STL, and without any external dependencies at all. Fully freestanding. To my knowledge this is
Show HN: Zedra – Mobile control plane for AI coding agents
Hi everyone! I want to share my recent work, Zedra. This is a mobile code editor that connects directly to your desktop. It's like Claude/Codex remote control, except you can run any AI coding agent via remote terminal, with code editor, markdown, file browser, git view,... A true code editor on mobile.It's built on Rust with GPUI, leveraging the high-performance rendering engine that powers Zed editor, now on mobile with Zedra. The connection is peer-to-peer using outbound-only n
Show HN: TuringLLM – a LLM-powered Universal Turing machine
Hi, I built TuringLLM to see how far we could go with a universal execution model totally controlled by an LLM.The basic idea: use the LLM for the step function of a Turing machine. State and instructions are MD files (STATE.md and INSTRUCTIONS.md, respectively). They represent the "modifiable tape" of the Turing machine. Each cycle, the LLM read the state and finds the corresponding instruction to execute. Instructions (and conditions) are written as free-text and, together with state
Show HN: Simple attributes for spec-driven agentic workflows (C#, Rust)
I created a custom compilation error and Unit Test Runner for BDD Cucumber Specifications in Gherkin Syntax. Both C# and Rust are supported using Source Generators and Procedural Macros.If there is a line mismatch in a test, the build will fail before the tests do. This is useful if you like the idea of unit tests but don't appreciate the amount of boilerplate and iteration time libraries such as XUnit require.Try it in your agentic workflow and drop a comment with any feedback. Hopefully i
