Monitor Audio Studio 89 Review

Monitor Audio is not the only loudspeaker company that’s revisiting its back catalogue (or playing the greatest hits) when it comes to new models – and given that the Studio range was the company’s most aspirational (and most expensive) range back in the day, it is at least dealing from a position of strength.

Ask HN: How much of OpenAI code is written by AI?

Amidst the nascent concerns of AI replacing software engineers, it seems a proxy for that might be the amount of code written at OpenAI by the various models they have.

If AI is a threat to software engineering, I wouldn't expect many software engineers to actively accelerate that trend. I personally don't view it as a threat, but some people (non engineers?) obviously do.

I'd be curious if any OpenAI engineers can share a rough estimate of their day to day composition of human generated

Jak je to s cenou různých energetických mixů?

Velice často se při diskuzích o tom, jaké zdroje energie bychom měli využívat, šermuje s jejich cenou.

Show HN: A Raycast-compatible launcher for Linux

Hey HN!

I'm a huge fan of Raycast, but as a Linux user, I was always disappointed it wasn't available on my main OS. This summer, I decided to just build it myself. This project has the goal of being interoperable with Raycast itself, including a majority of the extensions.

It's built with Tauri and Rust on the backend, with a Svelte frontend. The biggest challenge was getting it to run existing Raycast extensions, which required building a custom React renderer as well as making a custo
