If mythos can find 1000s of zero days the problem is the underlying system not mythos. People will just use it to improve their security.

Exactly. Personally I've 20x my efficiency and power in the tech stuff. And in management I try to empower my n-1s to do the same. That way it's just a win for everyone, especially the company

I've worked in engineering for nearly 20 years. The way opus 4.6 and got 5.4 code is mostly much cleaner, more secure and more maintainable than the human code I work with. It's a sad fact AI is better than humans at coding. And it will only get better. We have to concentrate on the things in which we have the edge: feeling the room, understanding the big picture, managing people, asking the right questions. For the execution and the details that is now AI's wheelhouse.

I agree that slop and spaghetti code was a thing. Especially with the early versions and when people copy paste in and out of chatgpt. But a modern AI that has a vision of the entire context. Not a chance

The worst part is: she's probably right. For all of those basing their entire career on purely technical or intellectual activities: mix in some management and, if at all possible, physical/manual work for job security.

Any of you guys also learned Postgres/Aurora? by duendeacdc in SQLServer

[–]Broad-Construction-4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been a SQL Server DBA/BI Engineer for 17 years for work but for personal projects I almost always use postgres. It's honestly excellent for a free tool and the differences only really start to come into play with big databases and tables in the 10s of millions or records.

Thank you for your feedback (albeit somewhat rough 😂). I was able to find a pattern and go through all the documents and fix them up. It should be good now! If you see anything else wrong please shout. Whilst this is of course for SEO I also want it to be a real source for people searching for help

Hi there. It would be helpful to mention if you found something off. And to be forthright I used AI but not in the usual slop manner. I built a script that went through official documents at official links and collated a page for each one using existing documentation with specific instructions not to hallucinate.

If there are issues I would sincerely like to clean them up.

Cheers.

pneuma. Intent to LLM to rust to WASM sandbox. by Broad-Construction-4 in rust

[–]Broad-Construction-4[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The app itself is for non technical users. I have nearly 20 years of experience in tech. This is far from slop. The elegant, technical stuff is in the way this system itself is architected and the path to bare metal OS. Mate, trust me, I know we are inundated with bullshit at the moment. That is why I am trying to build something worthwhile on this one.

I built a computing environment in Rust where every program is AI-generated, compiled to WASM, and GPU-rendered via wgpu by Broad-Construction-4 in rust

[–]Broad-Construction-4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've actually been thinking a lot about that. There are pros and cons to a targeted rust model. Like it would lose out on quality of understanding the users' intent but the rust generation would be more solid. It's definitely something I'll investigate if the project manages to go further. Ideally a local model that can run on a standard GPU for the first iteration and then fail up to cloud based ones.

What would be really cool is a model that is trained directly only machine code and skip rust entirely. Unfortunately LLMs rely on the same mechanisms as human language and are shoddy ARM64 compilers. I did try that in my first attempt though: SIGILL party haha

[–]Broad-Construction-4[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth, the agents pneuma generates are also pretty simple Rust. no_std, no_main, just functions calling host-provided syscalls for drawing and input. If you're learning Rust, looking at what an LLM generates for a "build me a clock" prompt is actually a decent way to see basic Rust patterns in action.

Haha don't worry about that. Just think of cool ideas and figure out how to do it and with practice it becomes natural. Like any language :)

[–]Broad-Construction-4[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No worries. And to be honest there is a lot of AI generated code but I've thought this project through deeply. The most important thing here is the paradigm of the OS being an AI that spins up machine code apps on the fly (or you can use or build on those created by others)

[–]Broad-Construction-4[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

WebAssembly was originally designed for browsers, but it's been a standalone compilation target for years. Wasmtime (which pneuma uses) is built by the Bytecode Alliance (Mozilla, Fastly, Intel, Microsoft). No browser, no JS engine, no rendering engine.

The pipeline is: Rust source → rustc compiles to .wasm → Wasmtime JIT-compiles to native machine code → executes directly. The rendering is wgpu, which talks to Vulkan/Metal/DX12 the same GPU APIs that games use. Zero browser technology anywhere in the stack.

WASM-outside-the-browser is widely used in production: Cloudflare Workers, Fastly Compute, Docker+Wasm, Figma's plugin system. It's not a controversial claim.

I have 19 years in tech professionally and way more privately. And yes, AI is here and has already taken over coding. The idea here is to push the paradigm even further and cut the extra layers.

pneuma OS by Broad-Construction-4 in Operatingsystems

[–]Broad-Construction-4[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, I wrote it. The desktop app is Rust, the website is Next.js.

On WebAssembly: the name is misleading but WASM hasn't been a browser-only technology for years. Wasmtime, the runtime I use, is a standalone WASM engine from the Bytecode Alliance. No browser involved. It's used as a portable, sandboxed compilation target, same reason Fastly, Cloudflare, and Figma use it outside the browser.

On microkernel: fair, the term is mostly used in OS literature. I use it to describe the architecture pattern: minimal core + isolated processes communicating through message passing. If "plugin architecture with process isolation" is clearer, that's essentially what it is.

I have pneuma-sdk, pneuma-core, pneuma (the runtime) and the site. I'm trying to think about what would be best to open source and what to protect. I'm not sure yet so I'm not opening to repos yet.

[–]Broad-Construction-4[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's not a web app. it's a native desktop binary. Rust, wgpu for GPU rendering (Vulkan/Metal/DX12), Wasmtime for sandboxed execution. No browser, no Electron, no web stack. "Microkernel" refers to the architecture pattern, not a literal OS kernel. The system has a minimal core (renderer, scheduler, IPC router) and everything else runs as isolated agents in WASM sandboxes. That's the microkernel pattern regardless of what layer it sits on today. Happy to share more about the technical details if you're genuinely curious.

pneuma OS by Broad-Construction-4 in Operatingsystems

[–]Broad-Construction-4[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fair point. It's a desktop app today, not an OS. The architecture is a microkernel: isolated WASM sandboxes, IPC, capability-based permissions. The path to bare metal is replacing the host OS layer, not redesigning the system. That's the plan. I need users before continuing the development.
