Solární termální energetika je jako na koni. Globální oteplování jí hraje do karet. Teď jde o to, aby byla co nejlevnější. Australští odborníci rafinovaně využili vlastní vynález plastových zpětných zrcátek a vyvinuli nerozbitná a velmi lehká zrcadla z plastu, která by mohla zlevnit solární termální energii až o 40 procent. http://www.osel.cz/14076-lehka-plastova-zrcadla-mohou-podstatne-zlevnit-solarni-termalni-energii.html

Hi HN,

I turned the freshly published paper “The Constructor Theory of Time” by David Deutsch and Chiara Marletto (arXiv, 13 May 2025) into an executable Python library.

What you’ll find • One-to-one translation of the paper’s formalism: Substrates, Attributes, Tasks, Constructors, and task-algebra operators • Possibility / impossibility predicates and counterfactuals encoded exactly as defined • Test suite that mirrors every lemma and example (>95 % coverage, mypy-typed) • Reproduct

Meeting an online friend in person for the first time can be pretty awkward. If only there were a way to skip the weird small talk part and get right into the flow of real conversation — like, say, getting shrunk down to the size of a chess piece and trapped in a series of board games, forcing you to communicate so you can find your way out. That's exactly the scenario in which characters Alex and Sarah find themselves in the

We’ve been working on Vaev, a minimal web browser engine built from scratch. It supports HTML/XHTML, the CSS cascade, @page rules for pagination, and print-to-PDF rendering. It even handles calc(), var(), and percentage units—and yes, it renders Google.com (mostly).

This is an experimental project focused on learning and exploration. Networking is basic (http:// and file:// only), and grid layouts aren’t supported yet, but we’re making progress fast.

Stack Error reduces the up-front cost of designing an error handling solution for your project, so that you focus on writing great libraries and applications.

Stack Error has three goals:

1. Provide ergonomics similar to anyhow.

2. Create informative error messages that facilitate debugging.

3. Provide typed data that facilitates runtime error handling.

Hey HN! We’ve just open-sourced model2vec-rs, a Rust crate for loading and running Model2Vec static embedding models with zero Python dependency. This allows you to embed text at (very) high throughput; for example, in a Rust-based microservice or CLI tool. This can be used for semantic search, retrieval, RAG, or any other text embedding usecase.

Main Features:

- Rust-native inference: Load any Model2Vec model from Hugging Face or your local path with StaticModel::from_pretrained(...).

Buckaroo is my open source project. It is a dataframe viewer that has the basic features we expect in a modern table - scroll, search, sort. In addition there are summary stats, and histograms available. Buckaroo support Pandas and Polars dataframes and works on Jupter, Marimo, VSCode and Google Colab notebooks. All of this is extensible. I think of Buckaroo as a framework for building table UIs, and an initial data exploration app built on top of that framework. AG-Grid is used for the core

The Voynich Manuscript is a 15th-century book written in an unknown script. No one’s been able to translate it, and many think it’s a hoax, a cipher, or a constructed language. I wasn’t trying to decode it — I just wanted to see: does it behave like a structured language?

Einsteinova teorie relativity otřásla naším chápáním vesmíru, ale i po sto letech se vynořují nové otázky. Je časoprostor skutečně zakřivený, nebo existují alternativy? Proč vlastně fyzikové tak usilovně pátrají po teorii kvantové gravitace? Nedávné studie naznačují, že příběh gravitace a struktury reality je možná mnohem komplikovanější a zajímavější, než si myslíme. http://www.osel.cz/14074-nove-pohledy-na-gravitaci-a-casoprostor-je-vsechno-jinak.html
