New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Chaos Monkey but for Audio Video Testing (WebRTC and UDP)

Show HN: Chaos Monkey but for Audio Video Testing (WebRTC and UDP) 4 by MdSadiqMd | 0 comments It takes an input video and converts it into H.264/Opus RTP streams that you can blast at your video call systems (WebRTC, SFUs, etc.). It also injects network chaos like packet loss, jitter, and bitrate throttling to see how things break It scales from 1 to n participants, depending on the compute and memory of the host system Best part? It’s packaged with Nix, so it builds the same everywhere (Linux, macOS, ARM, x86). No dependency hell It supports both UDP (with a relay chain for Kubernetes) and WebRTC (with containerized TURN servers). Chaos spikes can be distributed evenly, randomly, or front/back-loaded for different test scenarios. To change this, just edit the values in a single config file on Hacker News.

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Nerve: Stitches all your data sources into one mega-API

Show HN: Nerve: Stitches all your data sources into one mega-API 3 by mprast | 0 comments Hi HN! Nerve is a solo project I've been working on for the last few years. It's a developer tool that stitches together data from multiple sources in real-time. A lot of high-leverage projects (AI or otherwise) involve tying data together from multiple systems of record. This is easy enough when the data is simple and the sources are few, but if you have highly nested data and lots of sources (or you need things like federated pagination and filtering), you have to write a lot of gnarly boilerplate that's brittle and easy to get wrong. One solution is to import all your data into a central warehouse and just pull it from there. This works, but 1) you need a warehouse, 2) you have an extra copy of the data that can get stale or inconsistent, 3) you need to write and manage pipelines/connectors (or outsource them to a vendor), and 4) you're adding an extra point of failure. Nerve l...

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Skill that lets Claude Code/Codex spin up VMs and GPUs

Show HN: Skill that lets Claude Code/Codex spin up VMs and GPUs 4 by austinwang115 | 0 comments I've been working on CloudRouter, a skill + CLI that gives coding agents like Claude Code and Codex the ability to start cloud VMs and GPUs. When an agent writes code, it usually needs to start a dev server, run tests, open a browser to verify its work. Today that all happens on your local machine. This works fine for a single task, but the agent is sharing your computer: your ports, RAM, screen. If you run multiple agents in parallel, it gets a bit chaotic. Docker helps with isolation, but it still uses your machine's resources, and doesn't give the agent a browser, a desktop, or a GPU to close the loop properly. The agent could handle all of this on its own if it had a primitive for starting VMs. CloudRouter is that primitive — a skill that gives the agent its own machines. The agent can start a VM from your local project directory, upload the project files, run commands on th...

Things you could build with this: * Your own agent orchestrator * A personal assistant with time travel * (more things I can't think of yet) Not quite there yet but thought I'd share it in its current state. on Hacker News.
