Simplifying Application Architecture with Modular Design and MIM I’ve written a deep dive into Software Design focusing on the &quot;gray area&quot; between High-Level Design (system architecture) and Low-Level Design (classes&#x2F;functions).<p>What&#x27;s inside:<p>* A step-by-step tutorial refactoring a legacy big-ball-of-mud into self-contained modules.<p>* A bit of a challenge to Clean&#x2F;Hexagonal Architectures with a pattern I&#x27;ve seen in the wild (which I named MIM in the text).<p>* A solid appendix on the fundamentals of Modular Design.<p>(Warning: It’s a long read. I’ve seen shorter ebooks on Leanpub).

How to Build Your Own Quantum Computer

Show HN: I simulated 1200 Iranian missiles attacking air defences in a browser I&#x27;ve built airdefense.dev, which is able to simulate all kinds of ballistic missiles, one-way-attack drones like Shaheds, and most of the commonly deploy anti-air defence systems. All of this inside the browser. I&#x27;ve now added a scenario of the current attacks in the Middle East by Iran. It was quite the challenge to optimize it enough to not completely kill a common laptop, although it still runs best on a bit beefier systems.

Show HN: I built a sub-500ms latency voice agent from scratch I built a voice agent from scratch that averages ~400ms end-to-end latency (phone stop → first syllable). That’s with full STT → LLM → TTS in the loop, clean barge-ins, and no precomputed responses.<p>What moved the needle:<p>Voice is a turn-taking problem, not a transcription problem. VAD alone fails; you need semantic end-of-turn detection.<p>The system reduces to one loop: speaking vs listening. The two transitions - cancel instantly on barge-in, respond instantly on end-of-turn - define the experience.<p>STT → LLM → TTS must stream. Sequential pipelines are dead on arrival for natural conversation.<p>TTFT dominates everything. In voice, the first token is the critical path. Groq’s ~80ms TTFT was the single biggest win.<p>Geography matters more than prompts. Colocate everything or you lose before you start.<p>GitHub Repo: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;NickTikhonov&#x2F;shuo" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;NickTikhonov&#x2F;shuo</a><p>Follow whatever I next tinker with: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;x.com&#x2F;nick_tikhonov" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;x.com&#x2F;nick_tikhonov</a>

Boss-CSS: I created another "CSS-in-JS" lib Boss-CSS is a polymorphic &quot;CSS-in-JS&quot; library supporting multiple different ways of applying CSS to your codebase, with or without runtime.<p>It&#x27;s my own work, that I stopped working on a few years ago in the finish-line, and few weeks ago I decided to finish it using AI.<p>The article gives some history, some introduction to the lib, and highlights some of it&#x27;s features.<p>I do not intend to actively maintain it, unless there&#x27;s interest, but I just wanted to put it out there, because it was bothering for so long that so much work I&#x27;ve put in it could go to waste.<p>I hope it can show something new.<p>DISCLAIMER: Articles is polished using AI without sentence changes, only inlcudes grammar fixes and custom changes based on its suggestions.

Show HN: Gapless.js – gapless web audio playback Hey HN,<p>I just released v4 of my gapless playback library that I first built in 2017 for <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;relisten.net" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;relisten.net</a>. We stream concert recordings, where gapless playback is paramount.<p>It&#x27;s built from scratch, backed by a rigid state machine (the sole dependency is xstate) and is already running in production over at Relisten.<p>The way it works is by preloading future tracks as raw buffers and scheduling them via the web audio API. It seamlessly transitions between HTML5 and web audio. We&#x27;ve used this technique for the last 9 years and it works fairly well. Occasionally it will blip slightly from HTML5-&gt;web audio, but there&#x27;s not much to be done to avoid that (just when to do it - lotta nuance here). Once you get on web audio, everything should be clean.<p>Unfortunately web audio support still lacks on mobile, in which case you can just disable web audio and it&#x27;ll fallback to full HTML5 playback (sans gapless). But if you drive a largely desktop experience, this is fine. On mobile, most people use our native app.<p>You can view a demo of the project at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gapless.saewitz.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gapless.saewitz.com</a> - just click on &quot;Scarlet Begonias&quot;, seek halfway in the track (as it won&#x27;t preload until &gt;15s) and wait for &quot;decoding&quot; on &quot;Fire on the Mountain&quot; to switch to &quot;ready&quot;. Then tap &quot;skip to -2s and hear the buttery smooth segue.

Show HN: Tensor Spy: inspect NumPy and PyTorch tensors in the browser, no upload We needed a side project to give agentic coding a try, and created tensorspy.com together with Junie and ChatGPT 5.2.<p>Tensor Spy lets you quickly inspect the contents of numpy &amp; pytorch tensors locally (your tensors are not uploaded to any servers).<p>This is useful to validate your deep learning data pipelines, to check which layers in your diverging model are actually going haywire, and just because it&#x27;s kind of cool &amp; a lot more convenient for one-off inspections than loading things up in python.<p>If you work with diffusion models, inspecting the latent space can be quite informative: you want <i>some</i> &quot;noise&quot; in there but it should probably be fairly smooth for your LDM (Latent Diffusion Model) to be able to target it well.<p>Also, if you haven&#x27;t looked at your data, it&#x27;s probably not what you think it is ;)<p>Basic stats are auto-computed, and any inf&#x2F;nan values are both counted and rendered with contrasting colors, to help you quickly identify issue hotspots.<p>The site is free, and our broad intention is to keep it that way (we run a bunch of pro-bono little utility sites in addition to our commercial ones, they&#x27;re all linked on the about page).<p>Would love to hear your thoughts, I&#x27;m sure there are some stats or utility features we missed, so please give it a spin and let us know!<p>---<p>Agentic coding is a brave new world. Three years ago, after the initial rush of ChatGPT&#x27;s launch, I commented to some friends that &quot;we&#x27;re standing on the beach and the water just receded&quot;. The tsunami is really hitting now. As in: this project took about 2 weeks, and not only would we not have done it without agentic coding, it would have taken <i>months</i> using &quot;traditional methods&quot;. With agentic coding, adding .pt&#x2F;.pth support was basically a single request. And it just worked. Time to adapt yet again.
