New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: Generalists, when do you say "I know enough" about any particular topic?
Ask HN: Generalists, when do you say "I know enough" about any particular topic?

The idea is generalists know a lot about everything and when to pass it off to a subject matter expert. In 2025, with everything in tech changing by the minute, I’m realizing I need to set boundaries about how deep I go on any particular topic. But I’m unsure how. Particularly if I don’t want to get left behind as things continue to evolve. Curious how other folks approach this?

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: I made a generative online drum machine with ClojureScript
Show HN: I made a generative online drum machine with ClojureScript

After two years of development, I'm super excited to release Beat Maker! This is my take on what I hope is the best free, web-based drum machine. My goal was to build something that was not only fun and easy to use for beginners but also powerful enough for serious producers. I did extensive research on existing drum machines, analyzed their UX, and tried to build something that adds something new. It's a nearly 100% client-side app, written in ClojureScript, and is a PWA so you can install it to your home screen for an app-like experience. Besides the standard grid editor, Beat Maker has some unique features that I think HN readers might find interesting: - Procedural sample generation. One annoying thing about writing beats is searching through folders full of samples. I wanted to improve this and so I added the ability to generate new samples with a single click, giving you an infinite supply of unique drum samples. * Generative beat creation. If you're looking for inspiration, Beat Maker can generate entire patterns for you as a starting point. You can then edit and tweak the beat to your liking. Great for solving the "blank canvas" problem and giving you something good to start from. * Advanced export options. This is where it really shines for producers. You can export your work as: * A standard WAV loop * Individual stems (ZIP) * A MIDI file * A ZIP file of all your samples as WAVs * A SoundFont (.sf2) drum kit from your generated samples * An Impulse Tracker (.it) file for use in trackers like Renoise, OpenMPT or a Polyend * Pocket Operator/Volca sync. It can output a sync signal on the left audio channel to sync with these hardware devices for perfect timing. * Per-Note FX. You can add effects like volume slides, repeats, and start volume changes to individual notes for more complex drum phrases incorporating flam and roll. As an old school tracker guy, I'm particularly excited about the Impulse Tracker export mode. I was surprised to discover how many DAWs (including hardware like Polyend) can import this format. Of course, you can also pull up Impulse Tracker on DOSBox, or the more modern re-implementation, Schismtracker for that retro experience. By the way, the beat generator feature is not trained on any artists or anything like that. It's an algorithm I built from scratch myself. The audio engine is built on a declarative audio graph (using `virtual-audio-graph`), inspired by React's virtual DOM, which makes managing the Web Audio API much cleaner. If you're building web based audio apps I highly recommend checking out this library. I'd love for you to try it out and let me know what you think. Feedback (and the inevitable bug reports) most welcome! Thank you! P.S. Also, here's a video summary: https://youtu.be/qVmEn9z3H24

Being an analyst I need to research about the market and work accordingly. With the help of ChatGPT, perplexity and Gemini, I get done 70% of my research work. The rest of the 30% is just pure brainstorming. Then if I need some graphics then I use Canva for designing them. I get the images from them. Sometimes, I create ppts too using it. If I need any videos then i usually use tool like fliki, Lunabloom Ai or invideo to generate video. These tools give me good quality AI generated videos. Then nowadays, AI is also available on social medias. It makes the job easier for me. So basically, Most of my work is completed by AI. The one thing I need to do properly is to give them proper instructions. How do you go about it?

Nepal Prime Minister Resigns. Parliament / Ministires set on Fire.

Amidst protests by Gen-Z against yesterday's inhumane killing of 19 student protesters, the country's capital is on fire. The prime minister of Nepal has resigned, and fleed on an army helicopter - probably abroad. Many other ministers have been evacuated. The parliament building, ministries, and all of the top political parties have been burnt down. Submitted this because yesterday evening there was a post and many of you were concerned for Nepal.
