Terminal Mode

ESP32 Bit Pirate, a Hardware Hacking Tool with WebCLI That Speaks Every Protocol

ESP32 Bit Pirate is an open-source firmware that turns your device into a multi-protocol hacker's tool, inspired by the legendary Bus Pirate. It supports sniffing, sending, scripting, and interacting with various digital protocols (I2C, UART, 1-Wire, SPI, etc.) via a serial terminal or web-based CLI.

Even Realities' G2 smart glasses will keep an eye on your AI agent

Even Realities’ G2 smart glasses will keep an eye on your AI agent Smart glasses maker Even Realities has today unveiled Terminal Mode, enabling you to keep an eye on your AI coding agent even when you're not at your desk. Developers will be able to monitor what their AI agent is up to in real time, responding to its requests for assistance from the comfort of their own faces. Essentially, if you own a pair of its G2 smart glasses, you'll get a persistent icon telling you what the agent is...

Show HN: Nucleus – A security-hardened, Nix-native container runtime

Extremely lightweight, security-hardened, declarative container runtime for agents and production services Nucleus is a minimalist container runtime for Linux. It provides isolated execution environments using Linux kernel primitives without the overhead of traditional container runtimes. For production services, it is designed around a fully declarative model: Nix builds the root filesystem, the NixOS module declares the service, and Nucleus mounts a pinned, reproducible closure at runtime.

Google has seriously leaned into AI enshittification lately

Moded Types for Grassroots Logic Programs, by AI, for AI (Full Version)

Announce Type: replace Abstract: Grassroots Logic Programs (GLP) is a concurrent logic programming language in which logic variables are partitioned into paired readers and writers. An assignment is produced at most once via a writer and consumed at most once via its paired reader, and may contain additional readers and/or writers. This enables the concise expression of rich multidirectional communication modalities.

Fully autonomous drones have killed human soldiers for the first time

Fully autonomous drones with no human oversight have killed soldiers on the battlefield for the first time. This is according to a senior figure in the Ukrainian defence industry, marking a watershed moment in warfare. The one-off test involved 10 AI-controlled “Terminator” drones on the front line of the Ukraine war.

Ask HN: What are tools you have made for yourself since the advent of AI?

I've made a number of ceramic molds for slumping fused glass into bowls. As well as wooden templates for ceramic mugs. I've devised a few carrying tools to move glass frit paintings from my studio down to my barn where the kilns sit without spilling the glass.

Coreutils for Windows

UNIX-style core utilities for Windows. The same commands and pipelines you use on Linux, macOS, and WSL - natively. A Microsoft-maintained build of uutils/coreutils, findutils, and a GNU-compatible grep packaged as a single multi-call binary for Windows.

There's no escaping it: an exploration of ANSI codes

There's no escaping it: an exploration of ANSI codes ANSI escape codes are kinda crazy, no? I mean, crazy in the sense that they are such a simple and enduring concept. Every time your terminal renders bold red text or a progress bar crawls across the screen, you’re taking advantage of a standard that is almost 50 years old.

Terminal Time and Angle-Constrained Nonlinear Intercept Guidance

arXiv:2606.02872v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper considers the problem of simultaneously controlling an interceptor's impact time and impact angle using its lateral acceleration as the sole control input. With a single control input, the nonlinear engagement kinematics is inherently underactuated, which complicates guidance law synthesis.
