Unveiling the EndBOX – A microcomputer prototype for EndBASIC

news.ycombinator.com Julio Merino 2025-12-07 02:49:42

Published on: June 6, 2025 Remember when turning a computer on meant instantly jumping into code? No bloat, no distractions—just you and a prompt? That’s the experience I’ve been working to bring back with the EndBOX: a small, resilient, nostalgia-packed, all-screen computer that boots straight into the retro-inspired EndBASIC environment you already know. And today, six months after its inception, I’m excited to formally show you the first working prototypes—though they are still rough and ne

How I program with Agents 2025-06-08 This is the second part of my ongoing self-education in how to adapt my programming experience to a world with computers that talk. The first part, How I program with LLMs, covered ways LLMs can be adapted into our existing tools (basically, autocomplete) and how careful prompting can replace traditional web search.

I wanted Apple Vision Pros, but I don’t have $3,500 in my back pocket. So I made Apple Vision Pros at home. I was interested in making a project that combined computer vision with web design—a website that users could physically interact with. This inspired me to make Eyesite, because who needs a mouse when you have your eyes? Eye tracking Luckily, there is already a Javascript library for eye tracking called WebGazer.js.

Amiga 4000T: The Best Amiga in the World

Amiga 4000T: The Best Amiga in the World There had never been an Amiga better than Amiga 4000T. The T stands for tower, but this computer did not stand out in Amiga history due to its format factor, as Commodore had already been selling the tower version of A3000. Rather, it was the ultimate Amiga in what many call today the "classic" series, and nothing better — or anything else for that matter — has ever been produced in the classic Amiga line since this model was released.

Research suggests Big Bang may have taken place inside a black hole

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-06 21:44:29

The Big Bang is often described as the explosive birth of the universe – a singular moment when space, time and matter sprang into existence. But what if this was not the beginning at all? What if our universe emerged from something else – something more familiar and radical at the same time? In a new paper, published in Physical Review D, my colleagues and I propose a striking alternative. Our calculations suggest the Big Bang was not the start of everything, but rather the outcome of a gravit

A few eagle-eyed readers have noticed that it’s been 4 weeks since my last entry in what I have been thinking of as my “niblet series” — one small piece per week, 1000 words or less, for the next three months. This is true. However, I did leave myself some wiggle room in my original goal, when I said “weeks when I am not traveling”, knowing I was traveling 6 of the next 7 weeks.

One of the many blessings/curses that comes with aging is a new perspective on things. Movies, for example. You can watch a movie a billion times growing up, learn to quote every line, buy posters and toys, and revel in how watching it makes you feel like a kid again. Then, you watch it a few years later and notice something you never noticed before. Something that didn’t matter when you were 10, 20, or 30. But at 40 or 50, you can’t quite get your head around it.
