    Hey HN, we're excited to share Lumier (https://github.com/trycua/cua/tree/main/libs/lumier), an open-source tool for running macOS and Linux virtual machines in Docker containers on Apple Silicon Macs. When building virtualized environments for AI agents, we needed a reproducible way to package and distribute macOS VMs. Inspired by projects like dockur/windows (https://github.com/dockur/windows) that pioneered running Windows in Docker, we wanted to create something similar but optimized for Apple Silicon. The existing…

    Hi HN! I'm the author of mere.run a local first inference runtime built around an installable CLI. I believe that whenever possible we should use the stuff we already own (like our Mac laptops, decent machines gathering dust, our gaming PC) and the limited electrical power we have easy access to, like the socket in the wall next to most of us. We shouldn't have to send our data to the cloud hoping some T&C will prevent it from being used in a way that we'd regret. Most of the local AI solutions are technical, involved, and land a curious body in some package hell. People are optimizing for…

    Hey HN, half a year ago we were building a feature where our users could trigger long-running jobs with the following requirements: (i) the job is provisioned by the user action (e.g., clicking a button in the UI), (ii) the job can be canceled by the user, (iii) the progress of the job can be inspected while the job is running, (iv) hardware for the job is provisioned only when needed (the job may require expensive hardware and isn't called that frequently). Because we couldn't find any existing ways of achieving this we decided to implement one for Python. Currently, it uses an AWS ECS…

    Burla▲14

    Hi HN! Would love any thoughts on this, we built Burla to enable anyone, even total beginners to scale Python to thousands of computers in their cloud with zero hassle. In a world of coding agents, this means something different than it used to, specifically that Burla requires almost no cloud permissions to get started. Anyone who has permission to boot a VM in their cloud can simply pip install burla and scale Python to 1000's of VM's. Burla uses your local aws cli credentials to boot VM's and the dashboard runs locally for you to monitor resources and jobs. All together this creates a UX…

    Hey everyone, we just released a new version of our Infrastructure as Code Python SDK that now runs entirely on your machine - no account required. LaunchFlow extends OpenTofu to provide features like multi-environment support [1], autoconfigured infrastructure clients [2], and API release management [3]. Our goal is to provide a Python-native infrastructure toolkit that handles everything from automating your infrastructure to using it in your application code. You can use our library of preconfigured OpenTofu modules to add GCP / AWS infrastructure to your app with just a few lines of…

    Hey HN! I built Python Playground, a Chrome extension that gives you a ready-to-use Python environment right in your browser - no installation needed. It runs Python locally via Pyodide (WebAssembly) with most popular libraries included out of the box, plus a package manager to install additional modules from PyPI. The environment supports inline data visualization with Matplotlib and Plotly, file upload/download through a sandboxed filesystem, and the ability to save and reload snippets. Everything executes entirely on the client, so it works offline and nothing ever leaves your…
