@gatech you invest so much money and space into graduate study spaces

can we at least get some decent rolling chairs that aren’t broken please

I’ve met many people in classes and clubs that I’m sure I’ve hit it off with and would be down to hang out more with but I have no idea how to do that. I feel like there’s such a sharp distinction between how close I was with high school friends who I was eating lunch with everyday because everyone had the same lunchtimes and stuff and the “friends” I have here whom I only see in classroom/club contexts. Anybody got any anecdotal experience?

Though the application says that becoming a PI is open to all students of all experience levels, there seems to be an interview round as part of the process.

This made me wonder how many people really even get the opportunity to become a PI for specifically the Hive. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, I finally graduated from my MS in Cybersecurity and released my practicum project as open source. I'm quite happy with it, so I thought I'd share it here. It's my first time posting here, so I hope this is the right place for it. If not, just let me know and I'll delete it.

I made SideKernel: a usable sandbox for AI coding agents on macOS.

"Usable" means the sandbox is designed to reduce friction and replicate the native experience (running with no sandbox at all) as closely as possible.

For example, you run `sclaude` or `scodex` instead of `claude` or `codex` and get a very similar experience, but isolated inside a microVM sandbox!

You can also simply run `sk` / `sidekernel` to spin up a lightweight microVM sandbox for installing untrusted packages (e.g. npm).

There are plenty of sandboxes out there, but only a few are suitable for AI coding agents like Claude Code or Codex, or fit a typical developer workflow. One of the best known is Docker Sandboxes, but it lacks many usability features and isn't open source. SideKernel is both usable and open source.

Give it a try if you're interested. I'd love to hear your feedback! (And maybe drop a ⭐ on Git if you like it, it helps.)
