What it does
Autonomous AI agents are writing and executing code, but running it on your host server is a massive security risk. Vela (powered by the Aegis runtime) solves this. It’s a policy-driven execution guard that uses Firecracker micro-VMs and HMAC capability tokens to safely run untrusted code. Get structured results, fine-grained filesystem/network restrictions, and a full JSONL audit trail. Open-source, MIT licensed, and built for LangChain/LlamaIndex.

YepCode2022 · yepcode.io · ▲157Hey HN, We’re excited to introduce YepCode Run, a serverless runtime and SDK for executing code in secure sandboxes. Built on top of YepCode (https://yepcode.io), it allows you to execute code without any setup or installation. Perfect for: * Running AI-generated code – Securely in a sandbox environment, enabling fully autonomous AI agents. * Package Exploration – Try npm or PyPI packages without installing them locally. * Code Sharing – Easily share runnable code examples with others. * Quick Prototyping – Test snippets and algorithms on the fly. Just write or paste your code, and…
VelaneJul 2026 · velane.sh · ▲95n8n is built for humans dragging nodes on a canvas. That breaks down at B2B scale (embedding in a product, multi-tenant scalability, etc). n8n does have an MCP server so agents can create workflows too, but it outputs raw JSON. That's fine for n8n's engine, but painful for a coding agent (or a human reviewing its output) to read, write, diff, or debug. I'm building an alternative where workflows are authored by a coding agent in [a more dev-legible format] instead of JSON blobs, and execute it at scale.

Homebrew 6.0.0▲1,481Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
