Nearly 90% of the…
Counting the creatures in the world around us is critical for a raft of conservation efforts. It helps scientists gauge biodiversity, track migration, and spot invasive species.

Agent work is safe today mostly because agents work alone. With one agent, one session and one person working on a task. It's essentially single-player. This changes when a platform has multiple people, each working with multiple agents, all acting on shared tasks and shared data, (multiplayer). Ablo is the infrastructure that enables agents and the people working alongside them to read and write on the same state. Traditional sync engines make sure everyone sees the same state, Ablo does that too but the difference is that Ablo also governs who gets to act on it. Would love feedback from any…

Hey HN, I routinely run out of RAM, CPU or GPU resources and wanted to know when it happens and what app was causing it. But, I didn't want my menu bar to turn into a row of numbers. I just wanted a single line that tells me when something interesting happens (e.g. an electron app starts eating up all my RAM). Comparison: iStat Menus and Stats have lots of depth, details and modules. ActivityLine is deliberately the other extreme: one clean line with app icons showing what app is responsible. In auto mode, it switches to whatever is being used most (e.g. jumps to Network when something is sud…

Abstract: Many modern programming languages include some form of asynchronous programming. In particular, a growing number now have what we call straight-line asynchrony: attempts to provide asynchronous functions that look similar to synchronous functions, thereby enabling asynchrony without introducing complex control. These languages often share construct names like “async” and “await,” which suggests that they have deep semantic similarities. Yet, a close examination reveals that these languages are quite different along several dimensions, often subtly. These differences have rea…
SPONSORED EXPLAINER: Why you should take a long-term approach to rethinking your virtualization portfolio
I’m a developer, and also a music producer. When I work on commercial music, especially songs for ads, I’ve gotten pretty used to using AI music tools as part of the creative process. But I noticed that some people around me — e.g. my girlfriend — also want to create music as a way to express themselves, but often run into a few problems when using AI music tools: 1. They don’t have a music background, so it’s hard for them to clearly describe the sound they want. 2. Sometimes they just want a song in the style of a certain artist, and the easiest way for them to express that is b…
