Voice Controlled Swarms

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-04 12:14:55

Inspired by Command School from Enders Game, let’s make swarms that we can control with our voice! We will do this by having a voice-to-text program feed our voice commands into an LLM, and then that LLM can run a bunch of commands to control the swarm. Below is the final result. Your browser does not support the video tag. And we will make this in two parts: First we will create a general voice-controller that can plug into any application that supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP). As

Overengineering my homelab so I don't pay cloud providers

After years of self-hosting on a VPS in a datacenter, I’ve decided to move my services at home. But instead of just porting services, I’m using this as an opportunity to migrate to a more flexible and robust set up. I will deploy services on a single mini pc. Since I need to be able to experiment and learn without disrupting my services, I will need to be able to spin up Virtual Machines (VMs).

HRT's Python Fork: Leveraging PEP 690 for Faster Imports

news.ycombinator.com Noah Kim 2026-02-09 02:12:03

Python @ HRT At Hudson River Trading (HRT), we’ve found that centralizing our codebase facilitates cross-team collaboration and rapid deployment of new projects. Therefore, the majority of our software development takes place in a monorepo, and our Python ecosystem is set up such that internal modules are importable everywhere. Unfortunately, the convenience of this arrangement has led to a conundrum: a vast proliferation of imports. In Python, imports occur at runtime. For each imported name,

Getting good results from Claude code

I've been experimenting with LLM programming agents over the past few months. Claude Code has become my favorite. It is not without issues, but it's allowed me to write ~12 programs/projects in relatively little time, and I feel I would not have been able to do all this in the same amount of time without it. Most of them, I wouldn't even have bothered to write without Claude Code, simply because they'd take too much of my time. (A list is included at the end of this post.) I'm still far from a

OpenAI priced GPT-5 so low, it may spark a price war

OpenAI astounded the tech industry for the second time this week by launching its newest flagship model, GPT-5, just days after releasing two new freely available models under an open source license. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman went so far as to call GPT-5 “the best model in the world.” That may be pride or hyperbole, as TechCrunch’s Maxwell Zeff reports that GPT-5 only slightly outperforms other leading AI models from Anthropic, Google DeepMind, and xAI on some key benchmarks, and slightly lags on o

Flipper Zero dark web firmware bypasses rolling code security

Over on YouTube Talking Sasquach has recently tested custom firmware for the Flipper Zero that can entirely break the rolling code security system used on most modern vehicles. Rolling code security works by using a synchronized algorithm between a transmitter and receiver to generate a new, unique code for each transmission, preventing replay attacks and unauthorized access.
