Show HN: Kora – An AI-native OS layer written in 370k lines of Rusthttps://intuitivecompute.comWe've been building this for ourselves over the last year. We wanted the computer from Star Trek, something you just talk to, that knows your context, controls your environment, and runs locally.Our core belief is digital sovereignty in that you should own your context. Your conversations, files, voice, memory, and identity never leave your machine unless you explicitly choose to route through a cloud provider. No telemetry, no accounts, no data collection. The AI that knows the most about you should be the one you control completely.Kora is an operating system layer built around an AI agent. On Linux it runs as the GUI directly in Wayland (OpenGL via femtovg). On macOS it's a native app with a Metal compositor.It's not a chatbot wrapper, it's closer to a full OS where the AI is a first-class service. The stack is ~8 services running locally:- UI: custom window manager with guest app compositing. Apps are standalone Rust binaries that communicate with the host over IPC.- Multi-device: Mar 26, 2026 3:18 PM

Golden Dome and the velocity race: Why ground-based optics are the key to mission persistencehttps://spacenews.com/golden-dome-and-the-velocity-race-why-ground-based-optics-are-the-key-to-mission-persistence/While often described as a moonshot for missile defense, the Golden Dome for America mission is in reality something even more challenging: an exercise in disciplined systems engineering under threat. Hypersonic glide vehicles, maneuvering ballistic missiles and complex decoys are compressing timelines while raising the stakes for any gap in accuracy.

Show HN: Veil – Dark mode PDFs without destroying images, runs in the browserhttps://veil.simoneamico.com/Hi HN! here's a tool I just deployed that renders PDFs in dark mode without destroying the images. Internal and external links stay intact, and I decided to implement export since I'm not a fan of platform lock-in: you can view your dark PDF in your preferred reader, on any device. It's a side project born from a personal need first and foremost. When I was reading in the factory the books that eventually helped me get out of it, I had the problem that many study materials and books contained images and charts that forced me, with the dark readers available at the time, to always keep the original file in multitasking since the images became, to put it mildly, strange. I hope it can help some of you who have this same need. I think it could be very useful for researchers, but only future adoption will tell.With that premise, I'd like to share the choices that made all of this possible. To do so, I'll walk through the three layers that veil creates from the original PDF:- Layer 1: CSS fMar 26, 2026 11:47 AM

XReplicator – eBPF-based server backups that track only changed disk sectorshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47527328I've been in cloud/platform engineering for a decade. One thing that always frustrated me: every backup tool either relies on fragile kernel modules for change block tracking, or does full-disk scans even when 1% of data changed. So we built XReplicator. It uses eBPF tracepoints to track dirty sectors at the block device layer — no kernel modules, no hypervisor APIs, no cloud-specific hooks. The agent runs inside the VM and works on any platform. Kernel devs called me mad for using eBPF for disk data replication. But the numbers speak for themselves:Full backup: ~17 minutes Incremental after 1.4% change: ~2 minutes Incremental after 0.4% change: ~56 seconds 71x less data scanned vs full backup 65–72% storage savings (LZ4 + block-level dedup)No kernel module compilation per kernel version, no reboots, sandboxed execution via the eBPF verifier. Restore at file, partition, or full disk level from any point in the chain. Honest caveat: the eBPF path only works on Linux kernel 5.10+. For leMar 26, 2026 6:46 AM

Show HN: MonkePay – Charge AI Agents per API Request in USDChttps://www.monkepay.xyz/I built MonkePay. It is a thin wrapper on top of the x402 protocol and Coinbase CDP. It lets you gate any Express/Hono/Fastify/Next.js endpoint behind per-request USDC payments.The problem: x402 is solid but using it raw means provisioning wallets, verifying on-chain receipts, building payout logic, tracking payments, 2-3 weeks of plumbing before you've monetized anything.MonkePay abstracts all of that. Three lines of middleware, wallet provisioned automatically, USDC verified on-chain before your handler runs, daily payouts to your personal wallet.Looking for developers to try it and share feedback, especially if you're building agent-facing APIs or working with x402.
