Show HN: Multiserial – a serial terminal for macOS that does not feel ancient
I do a fair amount of embedded and hardware work on my mac. The serial tool was always a bother for me. I usually ended up testing on Windows. I built this tool focused on day-to-day bringup, loop back tests, logging and repeatable send flows. it uses Tauri and Rust for speed and a low memory footprint. It is free, open source, MIT license. I have used this on a Mac and built and tested the Linux version. Did not get to building the Windows version yet. Will probably look at it next weekend.
Show HN: A pure ARM64 Assembly web server, now on Linux with CGI for no reason
This is ymawky, a now-dynamic web server written entirely in ARM64 Assembly. I've previously posted about ymawky here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48080587In the past month and a half, I've made some pretty major improvements: I've added CGI scripting support, so the server now supports query strings and dynamic content; and I've fully ported ymawky to run on Linux, rather than macOS-only.In addition to GET/PUT/HEAD/DELETE/OPTIONS r

Show HN: peerd – AI agent harness that runs entirely in your browser
Hey HN. http://peerd.ai is an AI agent harness that lives entirely in your browser as a web extension. You don’t have to install a separate “AI browser”. You don’t have to bolt on or run some external process or manage a clunky mcp integration. It’s just a fully contained web extension, written in no build vanilla JS with minimal non-browser dependencies, using your own provider keys, and Apache 2.This isn’t just a fun hack. While it has largely been a solo side project, I genuinely be

Show HN: We polled 2,122 Americans on AI and regulation, and built a visualizer
We are researchers from Johns Hopkins University who wanted to measure American attitudes toward specific AI regulations. So we ran a poll, with SurveyUSA as our partner, to collect the data from a nationally representative sample, and we built a data-explorer to share it. We included questions about where people trust or do not trust AI, and how they expect AI to alter power, inequality, and the meaningfulness of work. There is also a quiz to try, if (a) you want to locate your own AI attitudes
Show HN: We built an 8-bit CPU as 2nd year EE students
Hi! me and my friends together built an 8 bit CPU implemented in Logisim purely from scratch. The control unit of this system does not implement the generic microcode ROM or any kind of RAM. This was made purely from discrete logic gates and coded the system to run different programs.key features:
Custom 16-instruction Harvard ISA, 8-bit fixed
format, 4 general purpose registersHardwired control unit built entirely from AND/OR gate logic matrixDual-phase clocking to eliminate race conditio
