Show HN: What should the GUI for AI agents look like?https://marbleos.com/demoHi HN! We’re Akilan and Miguel, the creators of MarbleOS.The inspiration for Marble comes from the GUI work at Xerox PARC, the 1984 Macintosh, and later NeXTSTEP, which became the foundation for Mac OS X. Before GUIs, interacting with a computer was limited to strange terminal commands:C:\> DIRC:\> COPY FILE.TXT A:You had to remember the command, syntax, paths, and parameters.The GUI made those capabilities visible. Instead of remembering commands, you could point at files, drag them, click buttons, and select actions from menus. It didn't necessarily make entirely new things possible; it just made existing capabilities much easier to understand and use. We feel like AI is still somewhere around this command-line stage.Even though the strict syntax has been replaced with natural language, the interaction can still be quite stiff and depend on heavily recall. Tools like Claude Cowork still look surprisingly terminal-like: /skill-name [param1] [param2]. The parameters are written in natu

Students Take on Airborne Field Research with NASAhttps://science.nasa.gov/earth/students-take-on-airborne-field-research-with-nasa/The gusty wind didn’t make it easy to hold tight to a balloon so large. The balloon, a scientific instrument called an ozonesonde, was about to be released into the atmosphere above the Texas Gulf Coast by students from NASA’s SARP (Student Airborne Research Program), which concluded its summer session July 27. The balloon’s job […]

Show HN: Open-Cowork – an open-source, model-agnostic computer-use agenthttps://github.com/coasty-ai/open-coworkHi HN,We built Open Cowork, an MIT-licensed desktop agent that can operate a computer through screenshots, mouse input, and keyboard input.We started working on this after using cowork-style computer agents for longer tasks. The interaction model was useful, but computer use burns through model calls much faster than chat: take a screenshot, decide what to do, perform an action, inspect the result, and repeat.We wanted to separate that agent loop from any one model or subscription.Open Cowork currently works with local models through Ollama and hosted models through providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, Mistral, and OpenRouter. You can watch the agent’s actions as they happen and interrupt it during a run.The basic loop is:Capture the current screen Send the screenshot and task state to the model Parse the proposed action Execute the mouse or keyboard action Capture the resulting state Continue until completion, interruption, or a safety conditionTwo annoyingly common fai

Show HN: I made a game where you build a CPU from logic gateshttps://select.supply/game/chipbuilderI built ChipBuilder to make computer architecture more approachable through interactive puzzles.You start with basic logic gates like AND, OR, and NOT, then gradually combine them into adders, multiplexers, memory, an ALU, and eventually a complete CPU. Once you've built the hardware, you can write assembly programs that run on the processor you created.The game is inspired by courses like Nand2Tetris, but everything runs directly in the browser with a visual circuit editor, simulations, and progressively harder challenges.

Tell HN: Airbnb updated "necessary" cookies aren'thttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49106346Just updated my app today and as usual there are a bunch of “strictly necessary” cookies from 3rd parties like Google Maps and Stripe. But a couple stood out to me.Rive. Seems to be a library for rendering vector animations. I don’t see how their cookies are necessary. This should all be a client-side dependency. Further, animations aren’t even necessary in the first place.Swift-avif-decode. Also a client side library for rendering images. I don’t see any reason they should be adding cookies.

Ask HN: Looking for testers for my RAM-based Linux distributionhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49102865Hi,I have been working on a project called Invelinux for quite some time now, and now that I have released the release candidate versions, I thought about posting it on Hacker News for people to try it out.The thing that makes it stand out is its use of the Toybox userspace project, a BSD-licensed alternative to Busybox and musl C library instead of the GNU C library. It also features a very minimal framework called AMPS (Automatically Mounted Packaging System) which mounts an external drive that functions as the non-volatile storage part of the OS. System configurations, applications/scripts etc. are all stored inside the /storage/AMPS directory. Since the base system is running on RAM, when the system is rebooted, the whole system gets wiped clean. But the external storage and configurations stay intact, allowing you to load your configurations easily.To access and edit these configurations, several custom TUI tools were made so the user doesn't have to mess around in /storage/AMPS/e
