Someone just built a fully functional CPU from scratch using old memory chips and logic parts from the 8-bit era. Spanning four perfboards and over a kilometer of wire, it runs real code, handles interrupts, and even plays The Matrix—all using logic simulated entirely through EPROMs.

Příliv znamená energii bez fosilních paliv. Je to ale divoká přírodní síla, k jejímuž zkrocení jsou nutné kvalitní technologie. Přílivové turbíny série Proteus AR s komponentami SKF vydržely pracovat šest let v přílivech na pobřeží Skotska bez neplánované údržby. Odolnost je klíčová pro ekonomickou životaschopnost přílivové energetiky. http://www.osel.cz/14157-elektrina-z-mesice-prilivove-turbiny-dosahly-rekordu-ve-spolehlivosti.html

Monitor Audio Studio 89 Review

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. Hlavně v případě využití fluktuujících na počasí závislých zdrojů je však třeba posuzovat fungování a náklady celého energetického mixu.

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
