Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Help with Minimal Websocket Connection
You can start by following tungstenite-rs client example. And since you are connecting to an tls enabled endpoint you should enable tls features. And according to your API's doc it requires you to send serialized json string for requesting message response and you can use serde ande serde_json for serialization. This is a complete example where a hardcode string request:

[I made this] – staticPi – websocket forwarder
staticpi, is a websocket forwarding service. Basically, it enables one to keep a Raspberry pi, or any computer, “connected”, in order to send and receive messages to and from any client, without having to deal with a static IP address, open ports on your router, or similar. Built in Rust, using axum, which in turn uses tungestine-rs for the websocket connections, tokio, sqlx, redis-rs and others.

What crate to use to make a WebSocket client
There is a client module and client examples. If using tokio, there is tokio-tungstenite on top, which has various client functions.

The most creative, funny, clever, ridiculous, ... library names!
tungstenite: "Lightweight stream-based WebSocket implementation. It's formerly WS2, the 2nd implementation of WS. WS2 is the chemical formula of tungsten disulfide, the tungstenite mineral."

Secure Websocket Client
If you just want to connect to an existing api, async-tungstenite has a connect function. It should work with wss. See some discussion of this issue here.

Lambda Internals: Why AWS Lambda Will Not Help With Machine Learning
This architecture leverages microVMs for rapid scaling and high-density workloads. But does it work for GPU? The answer is no. You can look at the old 2019 GitHub issue and the comments to it to get the bigger picture of why it is so.

Show HN: Add AI code interpreter to any LLM via SDK
Hi, I'm the CEO of the company that built this SDK.
We're a company called E2B [0]. We're building and open-source [1] secure environments for running untrusted AI-generated code and AI agents. We call these environments sandboxes and they are built on top of micro VM called Firecracker [2].
You can think of us as giving small cloud computers to LLMs.
We recently created a dedicated SDK for building custom code interpreters in Python or JS/TS. We saw this need after a lot of our users have been adding code execution capabilities to their AI apps with our core SDK [3]. These use cases were often centered around AI data analysis so code interpreter-like behavior made sense
The way our code interpret SDK works is by spawning an E2B sandbox with Jupyter Server. We then communicate with this Jupyter server through Jupyter Kernel messaging protocol [4].
We don't do any wrapping around LLM, any prompting, or any agent-like framework. We leave all of that on users. We're really just a boring code execution layer that sats at the bottom that we're building specifically for the future software that will be building another software. We work with any LLM. Here's how we added code interpreter to Claude [5].
Our long-term plan is to build an automated AWS for AI apps and agents.
Happy to answer any questions and hear feedback!

Fly.it Has GPUs Now
As far as I know, Fly uses Firecracker for their VMs. I've been following Firecracker for a while now (even using it in a project), and they don't support GPUs out of the box (and have no plan to support it [1]).
I'm curious to know how Fly figured their own GPU support with Firecracker. In the past they had some very detailed technical posts on how they achieved certain things, so I'm hoping we'll see one on their GPU support in the future!

MotorOS: a Rust-first operating system for x64 VMs
I pass through a GPU and USB hub to a VM running on a machine in the garage. An optical video cable and network compatible USB extender brings the interface to a different room making it my primary “desktop” computer (and an outdated laptop as a backup device). Doesn’t get more silent and cool than this. Another VM on the garage machine gets a bunch of hard drives passed through to it.
That said, hardware passthrough/VFIO is likely out of the current realistic scope for this project. VM boot times can be optimized if you never look for hardware to initialize in the first place. Though they are still likely initializing a network interface of some sort.
“MicroVM” seems to be a term used when as much as possible is stripped from a VM, such as with https://github.com/firecracker-microvm/firecracker

We Replaced Firecracker with QEMU
Dynamic memory management - Firecracker's RAM footprint starts low, but once a workload inside allocates RAM, Firecracker will never return it to the host system. After running several workloads inside, you end up with an idling VM that consumes 32 GB of RAM on the host, even though it doesn't need any of it.
Firecracker has a balloon device you can inflate (ie: acquire as much memory inside the VM as possible) and then deflate... returning the memory to the host.

- I'm looking for a virtual machine that prioritizes privacy and does not include tracking or telemetry.

Neverflow: Set of C macros that guard against buffer overflows
Very few things in those companies are being written in Rust, and half of those projects chose Rust around ideological reasons rather than technical, with plenty of 'unsafe' thrown in for performance reasons
https://github.com/firecracker-microvm/firecracker/search?q=...
The fact that 'unsafe' even exists in Rust means it's no better than C with some macros.
Don't get me wrong, Rust has it's place, like all the other languages that came about for various reasons, but it's not going to gain wide adoption.
Future of programming consists of 2 languages - something like C that has a small instruction set for adopting to new hardware, and something that is very high level, higher than Python with LLM in the background. Everything in the middle is fodder.
