Skype is shutting down. If you still use it, like I do, here are some alternatives

When Skype debuted in 2003, it was the first time I remember feeling that an individual app—and not just the broader internet—was radically disrupting communications.

Thanks to its implementation of the voice over internet protocol (VOIP) and its simple interface, the app allowed users worldwide to call virtually any phone number directly from their PC with ease, in addition to calling other Skype users via its peer-to-peer (P2P) network.

This free app is like Shazam for bird calls

It’s spring, and nature is pulling me away from my computer as I write this. The sun is shining, the world is warming up, and the birds are chirping away.

And that got me thinking: What if a smartphone app could translate all those chirps for us?

No, I’m not talking about an app that will translate bird sounds to human speech (although that would be neat). Rather, the app we’re about to go over tells you what specific species is making any bird sound around

Fast Charge: I’d hold off buying a new phone until later this year, if I were you

OPINION: All-singing, all-dancing flagship phones like the OnePlus 13, Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and Xiaomi 15 Ultra might’ve launched in the past few months, but that doesn’t mean we haven’t got anything to look forward to for the rest of 2025. In fact, some of what I imagine will be the best phones of 2025 [...]

Vědecké publikování dekádu poté: Stále nikdo nečte, ale podvádí se ve velkém?

Deset let po kritice neduhů vědeckého publikování zjišťujeme, že staré problémy jako tlak na kvantitu a pochybné metriky přetrvávají, zatímco nové hrozby v podobě papírových mlýnů a AI dále podrývají důvěru ve vědu. Navzdory snahám o reformu a otevřenost zůstává otázkou, zda se věda neztrácí ve vlastním bludišti. http://www.osel.cz/14038-vedecke-publikovani-dekadu-pote-stale-nikdo-necte-ale-podvadi-se-ve-velkem.html

Démoni modelování a hledání mimozemských plynů

Vědci jásají nad možnými detekcemi plynů, dokonce i biosignatur jako je dimethylsulfid, v atmosférách vzdálených exoplanet typu K2-18 b. Jenže nová studie ukazuje prstem na záludnosti modelování těchto dat. Než propukneme v nadšení nad objevem mimozemského života, je prý třeba prověřit, zda nejde jen o statistického démona či artefakt příliš úzkého výběru modelů. http://www.osel.cz/14037-demoni-modelovani-a-hledani-mimozemskych-plynu.html

Prokletí lidského rodu? Hojíme se třikrát pomaleji než šimpanzi

Když se poraní primáti, včetně našich nejbližších příbuzných šimpanzů, všichni se hojí zhruba stejně rychle. Dokonce i patetičtí hlodavci, když na to přijde, se také hojí srovnatelnou rychlostí. Ale lidi ne. Jak ukázaly experimenty, lidem se poranění hojí zhruba třikrát pomaleji.

Show HN: Blast – Fast, multi-threaded serving engine for web browsing AI agents

Hi HN!

BLAST is a high-performance serving engine for browser-augmented LLMs, designed to make deploying web-browsing AI easy, fast, and cost-manageable.

The goal with BLAST is to ultimately achieve google search level latencies for tasks that currently require a lot of typing and clicking around inside a browser. We're starting off with automatic parallelism, prefix caching, budgeting (memory and LLM cost), and an OpenAI-Compatible API but have a ton of ideas in the pipe!

Show HN: I built a synthesizer based on 3D physics

I've been working on the Anukari 3D Physics Synthesizer for a little over two years now. It's one of the earliest virtual instruments to rely on the GPU for audio processing, which has been incredibly challenging and fun. In the end, predictably, the GUI for manipulating the 3D system actually ended up being a lot more work than the physics simulation.

So far I am only selling it direct on my website, which seems to be working well. I hope to turn it into a sustainable business, and ideall
