An AI ‘debt bomb’ crisis? No. This isn’t Enron 2.0 | Gene Markshttps://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/aug/23/ai-debt-bomb-crisis

Fears of a datacenter buildout debt crisis are exaggerated. The risks are different than in the past and they are recoverable Some experts are warning of a looming “debt bomb” crisis because big datacenter builders such as Meta , Oracle , xAI and CoreWeave are not only raising billions to construct these facilities but are also not recognizing these long-term debt obligations on their balance sheets. Should we be concerned? No. I know because I’ve seen this movie before. Continue reading...

Show HN: Rmp, a Subsonic music player for generating playlists on the flyhttps://github.com/codesoap/rmp

When listening to music, I often don't play whole albums, but string together songs that capture my current mood. In the past, I've written a tool that records my hearings and generates suggestions from my usual listening patterns[1] and used it with some scripts around mpd. This made my way of listening to music easier and worked decently, but I wished I could also sync and use this with my phone. Recently I've discovered Subsonic, a protocol for music servers and players. It caught my eye, because it supports "scrobbling" (apparently the common term for "recording hearings") and generating…

The long-running series in which readers answer other readers’ questions probes an intriguing scientific question in relation to the climate emergency Readers reply: Is it inevitable that consumerism will literally fill up the planet? If all the vehicles on the planet had their tyres pumped up with CO 2 , would this lock up enough carbon to lower the amount in the air significantly?

Show HN: linecast – weather, radar, tides and maps in the terminalhttps://terminaltrove.com/linecast

I've been working on linecast, a free and open source collection of six terminal applications: weather, radar, sunshine, moon, tides, and maps. I made it because I'd been using the terminal a lot more over the past couple of years, I'm opinionated about how weather forecast design, and I liked the idea of making useful little terminal desk ornaments. It's as if the Old Farmer's Almanac was built for Minitel. The applications use ANSI color and Unicode braille characters rather than graphics. They reflow as the terminal is resized and derive their colors from your current terminal palette, inc…

Show HN: Room Acoustic and HRTF Simulatorhttps://nikhil-verma.com/room-signal

I've been fascinated with how sounds bounce around the room and enter your ears, and how you can find out with two sets of microphones on your head whether the audio is coming from front or behind you. So I tried to build a simulator that allows you to play different kinds of audio in different scenarios and it traces their acoustics and bounces around the room and lets you play them on your headphones to feel like how it would feel if you were in that room.
