Yes, in a simulated environment you can do this today using plain JS and connecting to a real VPN, while driving the desktop UI. No infra provisioning needed. If you need a real Windows OS + corporate VPN, we also support binding agents to

We spent the last few months trying to understand why computer-use agents (Claude Computer-Use, OpenAI CUA, Gemini 2.5 Computer-Use) fail so inconsistently. The pattern we kept seeing: same agent, same task, different OS theme = notably dif

The author's conclusion feels even more relevant today: AI automation doesn’t really remove human difficulty—it just moves it around, often making it harder to notice and more risky. And even after a human steps in, there’s usually a l

Same here. I even blamed it on switching between Italian and Spanish all the time and thought my brain was short-circuiting. But when you see the right key light up and a different letter shows up, something’s clearly off. Also: with batter

Yeah, a lot of these corporate hackathons are basically just lead gen in disguise. "Use our SaaS product, maybe we’ll give you a t-shirt." They're more about getting conversions than actually teaching anything useful to the s

This is a nice first step - web search makes sense, and it’s easy to imagine other tools being added next: filesystem, browser, maybe even full desktop control. Could turn Ollama into more than just a model runner. Curious if they’ll open u

Microsoft has a dozen vertical Copilots to build, so picking the model with the best capability today makes sense. If Claude Code is stronger for dev productivity, using it in VS Code just raises the bar for everything else they ship

Really thoughtful piece. It reminds me of how Angular once dominated by default, until its complexity and inertia gave space for React. The same dynamic could be repeating now - React’s network effects create stability, but also risk suffoc

From "draw a triangle" to upstream Vulkan on M1. Practically, this makes the Venus/virtio path viable for guests on Apple Silicon (no passthrough in VZ), which is what many people actually need.

I thought we had pivoted away from bundling browser-use features in Chromium extensions. Why take a step back instead of bundling their own browser?

Good intro! I first learned Big O from Cracking the Coding Interview since many universities in Europe notoriously skip complexity notations even in basic programming classes. This definitely explains it in a much simpler way.

The reminder to "never break userspace" is gold and often overlooked.. ahem Spotify, Reddit and Twitter come to mind.

Yes, Lume supports running macOS Big Sur as a guest on Apple Silicon (M1 or later) hosts running Monterey or newer, as long as you’re using an ARM64 build of Big Sur. However, App Store sign-in is currently not supported inside macOS VMs du

Good catch. Yes, looks like the line breaks ate the &&s. And absolutely, if macOS supported namespaces and cgroups natively, it’d open the door to more lightweight, container-native workflows. Right now we work around it with Apple’

by frabonacci 1y ago
Thank you for the support! One idea we’ve been exploring is reusing the same Apple VZ backend that Docker itself uses to run a nested macOS VM from inside the container. That would avoid the need for a background service on the host, but it

Exactly, both https://github.com/dockur/macos and https://github.com/sickcodes/Docker-OSX rely on x86 and KVM for HW acceleration

You're totally right, we're not claiming to run macOS inside Docker. The actual VMs run on the macOS host via the Apple Virtualization.Framework; Docker is just the management and packaging layer, similar to how some KVM setups us

We stick to standard OCI features: just basic manifests, layers, and configs - without relying on newer or experimental functionality like OCI artifacts. That means it should work out of the box with most registries, including Docker Hub, G
