Head's true genius—and that of his character, Giles—lay in quietly filling in the gaps in every scene

I’ve been a long-time listener of Wondercraft’s HN Recap podcast.[1] Lately, though, I’ve felt the format has become a bit too rigid: every episode follows the same structure (real-world implications, technical analysis, etc.), sometimes missing the main point of the original post or discussion. Given how good current models are, I’d expect better summaries and synthesis. What’s your favorite podcast for keeping up with Hacker News?

The pre-order trailer also revealed new voice actors.

Been experimenting with AI-generated UGC. This whole clip — the face, the voice, the walk — is generated (I used omnigems.ai). No camera, no actor. What surprised me is the "tells" are mostly gone now if you keep the lighting candid (no studio polish), add real skin texture, and let there be natural micro-motion. Studio-perfect is what reads as fake; messy/handheld reads as real. Posting because I'm curious where this community draws the line: is AI UGC fair game for ads, or does \ undisclosed** AI cross into sketchy territory? Happy to share the exact workflow if it's useful to anyone. submitted by /u/New_Measurement_6962 [link] [留言]

The 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest just wrapped up, and it was surprisingly hectic. The nearly week-long event came at a challenging time for the games industry, and for the most part the big keynotes were used as a chance to show some strength through major announcements, while largely ignoring pesky details like hardware […]

A2A has become like a standard for enabling agent to agent communication, we could use the a2a-sdk for running and configuring the a2a server and its features such as agent card, agent skills, agent executor, request handler etc. However we are going to go with a simplified approach here with strands where the agent card will be fetched automatically. Let's get started! Server Initialize a uv project for the a2a server and switch to that directory. uv init ~/strands-a2a-server cd ~/strands-a2a-server Add the required packages. uv add python-dotenv == 1.2.2 strands-agents[a2a] == 1.42.0 Change the code in main.py to look like below. $ cat main . py from dotenv import load_dotenv from strands import Agent from strands.multiagent.a2a import A2AServer load_dotenv () def main (): agent = Agent ( callback_handler = None , description = " A sample strands agent " , model = " us.amazon.nova-micro-v1:0 " , ) a2a_server = A2AServer ( agent = agent ) a2a_server . serve () if __name__ == " __main__ " : main () I like the simplicity here, as you see above, it's quite simple to start a basic a2a server from with in strands, with just a couple of lines of code, we didn't have to install the a2a-sdk separately. Run the code, to start the a2a server. $ uv run main.py INFO: Started server process [18006] INFO: Waiting for application startup. INFO: Application startup complete. INFO: Uvicorn running on http://127.0.0.1:9000 (Press CTRL+C to quit) Client Let's now do the client part on a separate terminal. Initialize the project and switch the directory. uv init ~/strands-a2a-client cd ~/strands-a2a-client Modify main.py code to look as follows. import asyncio from strands.agent.a2a_agent import A2AAgent async def main (): agent = A2AAgent ( endpoint = " http://localhost:9000 " ) agent_card = await agent . get_agent_card () print ( " Invoking remote agent with agent card: " ) for key , value in agent_card : print ( key , " : " , value ) print ( ' - ' * 20 ) while True : prompt = input

I finished building my first portfolio. I want everyone to give their honest opinion on it. No need to hold back. waliimran.vercel.app Thanks you!

Whenever I heard about harmonics, I thought they were only related to large substations, transmission systems, and industrial facilities. I assumed harmonics were something utility engineers dealt with and not something connected to everyday devices. Phone chargers can create harmonics. Laptop chargers can create harmonics. LED lights can create harmonics. Even a UPS sitting under a desk can create harmonics. Today, modern power systems use many power electronic devices such as EV chargers, solar inverters, battery energy storage systems (BESS), UPS systems, data centers, and Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs). While these technologies bring many benefits, they can also introduce harmonic distortion. The more power electronic devices we connect to the grid, the more important harmonic analysis becomes. In this article, I will explain what harmonics are, what causes them, how they affect power quality, how they can be analyzed using PSCAD, and why they are becoming more important in modern power systems. Before we talk about harmonics, let's first understand electrical loads, because this is where harmonics usually begin. What Is an Electrical Load? An electrical load is any device that uses electrical energy to perform useful work. For example, think about a typical evening at home. You turn on a ceiling fan, LED light, laptop, air conditioner, and phone charger. All of these devices use electricity, so they are called electrical loads. Examples of electrical loads include motors, heaters, fans, computers, air conditioners, lighting systems, and EV chargers. However, not all electrical loads use electricity in the same way. Some draw current smoothly, while others draw current in short pulses. This small difference is actually where the story of harmonics begins. Linear vs Non-Linear Loads To understand harmonics, we first need to understand the difference between linear and non-linear loads. Although both types of loads consume electricity, they draw current from the

I've been spending a lot of time experimenting with AI filmmaking tools lately, and I've noticed something that feels a bit odd. Most AI video tools seem to be built around generating clips: Text → Video Image → Video Start Frame → End Frame But when I think about how films are actually made, the process usually starts with: Screenplay → Characters → Locations → Storyboard → Shots → Film It feels like there's a gap between how filmmakers think about projects and how AI video tools are currently designed. For example, while working on my ai video, I don't really think in terms of generating isolated clips. I'm thinking about scenes, character continuity, locations, visual references, storyboards, and how everything fits together. Maybe I'm wrong, but it sometimes feels like AI tools are optimizing for clip generation while filmmakers are optimizing for story development and visual planning. Do others here feel the same way? How are you currently bridging the gap between screenplay and AI-generated video? submitted by /u/data-gig [link] [留言]
