NanoVMs (https://nanovms.com / https://nanos.org), a Linux-compatible unikernel for virtualized environments. You don't need to deploy a whole Linux distro, no binaries but your application, only the libraries that you need. No multi-user, no multi-process, nothing like that - just the unikernel, the required libraries and your application. This improves security (far fewer points of attack), startup time, memory consumption and it may also improve performance a bit.

#37I still kinda excited about OpenAI. Even though they did a massive bait and switch with the name, their offerings still none the less never fail to amaze me.
When GPT-3 first came out the results were jaw dropping for me. Now with Dall-e. Draw an illustration of a baby daikon radish in a tutu walking a dog.. who wouldn't find that amazing? So I'm just waiting what their next demo will be.
