Show HN: UK: Skip Royal Mail QR Code Queues with the Prince of Post

This scratches an itch I experience most months. When you get a "super handy QR Code" from a service, like Asos, Vinted and others that means you have to physically go to a post office to post your parcel. About ten years ago this was revolutionary convenience, but now it's a frustration.If you're like me you use Royal Mail's collection service to ship most of your parcels/returns from home, and post offices are open for ridiculously narrow times of day these days. Royal Mail don't provide an online facility to create a label from these in-person QR codes, so I built one instead.Behold, Citizen - Prince of Post! https://princeofpost.comI had some fun designing this, and it's something that I'll genuinely use all the time, so I thought I'd share it for others with this problem too. I couldn't find any prior art, but if you want to ruin my day please do tell me about anywhere that does this already :-) Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50406466 Points: 1 # Comments: 0

The update qualifies calls to math functions like isnan and signbit with std:: to ensure compatibility with C++ standard library overloads, addressing issues on NetBSD 11.99.9/x86_64 with gcc 14.4.0. Additional C math function calls are standardized using std:: prefixes (e.g., std::fabs, std::copysign) instead of non-existent std::fabsf variants, improving accuracy by keeping computations in double precision. The change results in a minor behavioral difference with a relative error of at most 1.4e-7, well below test tolerances.

The server update addresses slot processing order by ensuring parent slots are visited before child slots, preventing delays caused by child tasks landing on lower slot IDs. This change ensures all child tasks join the same batch after being woken by their parent. Additionally, new test tags have been introduced for monitoring: __TEST_TAG_WAIT_PARENT_SLOT__ for child slot waits, __TEST_TAG_PROMPT_CACHE_RESTORE__ for prompt cache restores, and __TEST_TAG_PROMPT_CACHE_FULL_RESTORE__ when a cached prompt is fully contained in a new one based on token counts.

How Greenlight Financial built an autonomous SOC solution on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore

Greenlight Financial resolves more than 90% of up to 4,000 monthly security and risk cases without human intervention using Luna, a tiered multi-agent system on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore. This post covers the architecture, episodic memory for continuous learning, and the expansion from SOC operations into financial risk triage.

How NVIDIA Open Source Tools Are Helping Researchers Build Next-Generation 6G Networks

A year ago, NVIDIA open sourced its Aerial wireless software, joining Sionna and a broader suite of open source tools for accelerating next-generation 6G network development. Together, they give researchers a foundation for testing ideas, comparing results and building on each other’s work — connecting simulation and AI training with experiments on real over-the-air wireless […]

NYT Cooking’s AI assistant saved my weeknight chicken, but almost ruined my cake

Around 7PM each weeknight, I find myself standing in front of the fridge, trying to decide on something for dinner that won't make my husband complain, "Chicken again?" Yes, I should meal plan more, but I don't, so this is where I'm at. A nightly battle in which the chicken usually wins. Recently, my best […]

SageMaker Inference now supports Multi-Instance GPU to maximize GPU utilization for model endpoints

Amazon SageMaker Inference now supports GPU partitioning with NVIDIA Multi-Instance GPU (MIG), which divides one GPU into hardware-isolated partitions so you can run a different model in each or take a right-sized fraction of a newer accelerator. This post shows how two optional API fields place one model per partition, and what we measured against a whole older GPU.

Learn how to build a serverless Model Context Protocol (MCP) server on Amazon ECS with AWS Fargate that gives AI agents secure, metadata-driven access to an enterprise data lake. Exposing a new dataset requires only a JSON file, with no per-dataset integration code.

Show HN: Combining Bursts of Images

An approach of taking many photos to enhance one final image is a technique called "stacking". Stacking alone doesn't account for everything so this is a take that helps get better alignment of images, allows comparisons, and drop bad images that dont match. Its not super resolution but it feels like when you look at it. it reduces the noise and makes it look more organic shot with less expensive hardware. enjoy!

Show HN: Realtime sync engine without any new infra

Tandem is an open-source sync engine and client-side database that plugs into your existing infrastructure. Add the Tandem library to sync data in real time across your clients and server, without deploying any new services.I started work on Tandem 6 years ago as a side project. I was frustrated by the sync engine landscape at the time, thinking I could build a better DX and require less lock-in. Even now, sync engine companies and “full-stack databases” need you to migrate to their database or provision a separate service with auth, networking, etc. This makes them annoying to maintain and also harder to adopt incrementally.Tandem is designed to just be embedded into your existing frontend and backend code. You define a schema, set up a database adapter (any SQL-like database is supported), add the new sync endpoint to your existing API, and then you're good to go.Tandem uses DST (Deterministic Simulation Testing) on every PR and nightly to ensure correctness. Our DST system Gatekeeper lets us model not only storage and network failures, but also race conditions, by gating each call between client/server/other services independently.Tandem currently supports any React-based frontend, any serverful backend (like Cloudflare Durable Objects), and any SQL-like database. New adapters are easy to build, and PRs and issues are appreciated!Open-source and MIT licensed: https://github.com/tanishqkancharla/tandem Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50398763 Points: 1 # Comments: 0
