Creator here. I built ChartGPU because I kept hitting the same wall: charting libraries that claim to be "fast" but choke past 100K data points.

The core insight: Canvas2D is fundamentally CPU-bound. Even WebGL chart libraries still do most computation on the CPU. So I moved everything to the GPU via WebGPU:

- LTTB downsampling runs as a compute shader - Hit-testing for tooltips/hover is GPU-accelerated - Rendering uses instanced draws (one draw call per series)

The result: 1M points at 60fps with smooth zoom/pan.

Live demo: https://chartgpu.github.io/ChartGPU/examples/million-points/

Currently supports line, area, bar, scatter, pie, and candlestick charts. MIT licensed, available on npm: `npm install chartgpu`

Happy to answer questions about WebGPU internals or architecture decisions.

I made this for myself, and it seemed like it might be useful to others. I'd love some feedback, both on the threat model and the tool itself. I hope you find it useful!

Backstory: I've been using many agents in parallel as I work on a somewhat ambitious financial analysis tool. I was juggling agents working on epics for the linear solver, the persistence layer, the front-end, and planning for the second-generation solver. I was losing my mind playing whack-a-mole with the permission prompts. YOLO mode felt so tempting. And yet.

Then it occurred to me: what if YOLO mode isn't so bad? Decision fatigue is a thing. If I could cap the blast radius of a confused agent, maybe I could just review once. Wouldn't that be safer?

So that day, while my kids were taking a nap, I decided to see if I could put YOLO-mode Claude inside a sandbox that blocks exfiltration and regulates git access. The result is yolo-cage.

Also: the AI wrote its own containment system from inside the system's own prototype. Which is either very aligned or very meta, depending on how you look at it.

The article discusses an incident where the 'Anna's Archive' website was suspended, which was initially attributed to a Spotify data scrape. However, the article states that the suspension was actually due to a different issue unrelated to the Spotify data scrape, and the website has since been restored.

It highlights how StarRocks' unique architectural design and query optimization techniques enable significantly faster join processing compared to traditional database systems.

The article discusses the MAGA movement's belief in the economic leverage of the United States, arguing that this belief is a delusion and that the U.S. has significantly less economic power than many believe. It examines the misconceptions and flawed assumptions underlying this belief.

Hey HN! I'm Fabio and I built UltraContext, a simple context API for AI agents with automatic versioning.

After two years building AI agents in production, I experienced firsthand how frustrating it is to manage context at scale. Storing messages, iterating system prompts, debugging behavior and multi-agent patterns—all while keeping track of everything without breaking anything. It was driving me insane.

So I built UltraContext. The mental model is git for context:

- Updates and deletes automatically create versions (history is never lost)

- Replay state at any point

The API is 5 methods:

  uc.create()   // new context (can fork from existing)
  uc.append()   // add message
  uc.get()      // retrieve by version, timestamp, or index
  uc.update()   // edit message → creates version
  uc.delete()   // remove message → creates version

What it's for:

- Persisting conversation state across sessions

- Debugging agent behavior (rewind to decision point)

- Forking contexts to test different flows

- Audit trails without building audit infrastructure

- Multi-agent and sub-agent patterns

What it's NOT:

- Not a memory/RAG system (no semantic search)

- Not a vector database

- Not an Orchestration/LLM framework

UltraContext handles versioning, branching, history. You get time-travel with one line.

Would love feedback! Especially from anyone who's rolled their own context engineering and can tell me what I'm missing.
