Turns regular JavaScript code into a differentiable neural net: if-else, loops and state are compiled into matrix multiplications and ReLU with no training. Runs on JS or WebGPU.

Useful for
  • Compile existing JS code into a differentiable form to train its weights
  • Speed up search over 100k JSON documents using GPU parallelism
  • Attach a frozen program to a neural net and train them end-to-end
Before using
  • License: MIT
  • Installation and requirements have not been verified; review the README before running

feder-cr/open_scion

Developer tools · Go

+360stars on 2026-10-15 · UTC

An open-source implementation of a server-centric version control system designed for coding agents: always-online clients, server-side history and search, and compare-and-swap landing without a merge queue.

Useful for
  • Run a local server and cache daemon via quickstart.sh to test agent change landing
  • Configure per-agent tokens and branch policies to restrict what each agent may do
  • Attach SQLite or PostgreSQL plus S3-compatible storage to scale the server across nodes
Before using
  • No license is listed in the GitHub data; check the usage terms
  • Installation and requirements have not been verified; review the README before running

fyzugx/DEsk

Apps · C

+466stars on 2026-10-15 · UTC

DEsk is a Wayland desktop environment for Linux in realistic skeuomorphism: windows are sheets of paper on a desk, the dock is a drawer, and system controls are a built-in panel.

Useful for
  • Install DEsk on Debian, Ubuntu or Arch and pick it at the login screen
  • Replace the default desktop with a skeuomorphic UI of paper windows and a drawer dock
  • Set up multiple monitors so windows spread across the extra screens
