There is need for this.

Pricing - is this monthly fee? I can't tell. (and I don't do monthly fees as a 99% rule)

If this were my project I would have a $79 get your broad checkbox done, one time fee. Extra addons available and update notifications of your choosing, once a year? once a month? I would select twice a year and give you kudos for noticing Maryland has new laws starting next week, Virginia add new regs in July and..

I don't think anyone is excited to "Start Your Compliance Journey Today" -

get compliant in under 10 minutes with a doc that is pre-formatted for your workflow

/ website builder to paste in the builder you use without Word formatting fluff screwing with WP / etc -

I would partner with: isn't there a couple of places that have on demand lawyers for each state like an upwork kind of select by price and availability?

If any of your customers also need to be Hipaa compliant I would like to be included in a receipt email they get ;)

I think many people don't know GDPR, CCPA, CPRA, COPPA, CalOPPA, and PIPEDA. from letters of various gov's and such.

maybe a block with 'doing business in Europe - we got your GDPR and blah required policy covered' another block with 'have a website or app in the USA - you have to have a privacy policy by fed law.. any forms or logins? lets up get your Coppa and other policies covered.

Get visitors from Cal, Tx, Va or XX YY? add these state specific and sign up for notifications of new rules for states that you do business in.

Don't want to deal with Cal, or X Y or Z laws? get our 'block visitors from this and that State' website script for free with an email.

Like the 'how it works' section, make the first two clickable or add buttons to get started / see plans.

More thoughts but short on time this afternoon.

Developer plan? I know people who maintain 20 websites - I might spend $200 to get a custom page for each one, if it was more I'd want an affiliate system that did not depend on cookies where I can send clients to get a new one each year.

I find trying to hide and wash away emotions tends to be a dangerous strategy long term. I get that sometimes emotions are unproductive for the task at hand, but the longer you keep washing them away with "logic", the stronger they keep returning at inopportune times. The long term strategy that works for me is to acknowledge them, actually listen to them, but also recognize I have the ability to act despite them. Easier said than done of course.

Not sure if you're disregarding the call to action to turn off your cell phone when not using it or if my prior point is literally playing out as we speak ("You know the problem but it's too useful to acknowledge.").

I mention the date because this problem has been known by everyone, not just me, for a very long time. But it seems like others are incapable of acting on the knowledge.

'zactly :D I don't want to be too harsh though; I definitely think the attitude of rolling out something simple that works is a solid approach when compared with the gold-plated second-system-syndrome thinking that's terribly easy to fall into. They're not wrong wrong, but there's a bit more nuance to be had once you've seen the monsters that can grown out of a hasty prototype.

So, bigger and more important question here. How do I help neuro-divergent folks in a work environment? There's no one size fits all here, everyone is different, and not just on a spectrum sliding scale. How do I glean what is important for neuro-spicy individuals beyond "just ask?"

Welcome thoughts on what has worked and what has not worked.

Ok, I slightly misunderstood and I see now better where you are coming from.

Yes, you are not wrong but as a ADHD person it comes off as super invalidating.

It is kind of like discussions where gender radical people tell to trans people that gender is just a social construct. Like it is but that doesn't exactly help trans people.

I mean I am sure you recognize this as you wrote.

> Yes I understand that given the environment, it makes sense to try to help as best as we can, and we can't single-handedly change society with a magic wand. Of course.

Still, I do believe that you massively overstate socially constructed aspect of having ADHD and underestimate the physical reality of it.

Yes, my environment makes a huge huge difference. But, as someone who was diagnosed very late in life, it was always with me. Even when I was alone. Even when I thrived. It is a fundamental part of who I am.

Not having a diagnosis earlier set up for constant spirals of failure, for internalized self hate. It did not allow me to find strategies to cope effectively.

I couldn't find or build the environment I needed because I didn't know my needs. This is why the diagnosis must come first.

ADHD is a disability and it is a real as being deaf or not being able to walk.

It's easy to get Energy or Masking to 0, but no matter what I tried I can't have the game end by getting Competence or Relationships to 0. Is it possible at all? I'm just curious what the ending texts will be for those...

Even when clicking responses that seem like they should make relationship go down and energy up, like giving a minimal response, instead it makes energy go down a lot and relationships go up.

My point was that we should consider how advanced the Greeks were with their understanding of mathematics, especially their desires for proofs. And we should contrast that with how mathematics is taught today.

It's obvious that "practical math" has always been the most important and first skill to teach. But that ends at basic trigonometry.

Students are learning how to do integration in highschool (not exactly a relevant skill), long before they are confronted with the idea of proof in mathematics.

To emphasize, one side that has all governmental control is escalating aggressive and violent rhetoric. I can find a dozen quotes a week of GOP threats, I'm not sure I can find more than 1 or 2 a year from Dems. The actual violent actions also suggest the same.

This isn't really a "both sides" thing. One sides dragging the other down into the darkness.

> do we all join our own conspiracy communities?

No, we apply appropriate skepticism by considering context, history, motivations and prior knowledge of both the source and the persons or entities involved. The uncomfortable reality that no news sources were ever worthy of our full trust isn't new or recent since the rise of AI or even digital editing. So, to me, it's a net positive that at least now many more people are aware of it.

AI-generated media elements as well as the slightly more labor-intensive manual digital manipulation before AI (eg Photoshop) are both almost quaintly mild because at least there are digital artifacts which can be fairly easily detected, disproven or otherwise countered. Whereas the far more subtle but no less deceptive techniques like changing the order of interview questions in editing or selectively excerpting answers are essentially indetectable and have been widely used to skew reporting at mainstream national news outlets since at least the 1970s.

About 20 years ago I was professionally involved behind-the-scenes with the creation of mainstream news content at a national level. Seeing how the sausage was made was pretty shocking. Subtle systemic bias was constant and impacted almost everything in ways it would be hard for non-insiders to detect (like motivated editorial curation or pre-aligned source selection). Blatantly overt bias was slightly less common but hardly infrequent. Seeing it happen first-hand disabused me of the notion there were ever "reliable sources of record" which could be trusted. While it's true the better outlets would tend to be mostly correct and mostly complete on many topics, even the very best were still heavily impacted by internal and external partisan influences - and, of course, bias tended to be exerted on the things that mattered.

Apple just hasn't been able to get traction with gaming on Apple TV. Gaming on Apple TV is so small I couldn't even find an analyst report breaking down the market size.

I don't think new graphics hardware solves the problem. Beyond the friction of the unit not shipping with a controller, tvOS lacks good discovery for games and there is no ad infrastructure comparable to mobile. Most game developers aren't looking to invest in small, closed platforms with bad discovery. It's hard enough to make money on Apple's mobile platforms.

If you're from a well off family, you can be oblivious to everything and still have what you need to live so in my experience things were a lot easier. For me once I became self-aware, it turned into a tradeoff of outgrowing sensory issues (i.e. fire drills being pure hell) and weird speech issues and learning social skills, with worse executive functioning and anxiety and energy and still not being socially proficient enough to not be some level of offputting, and now the social skills matter much more so it's a bigger obstacle even though I'm a lot better at them.

And you get absolutely nowhere besides being a mid level developer if you avoid office politics. I don’t care what your title is, if you are just heads down pulling tickets off the board, you are a mid level developer according to every leveling guideline I’ve seen by companies that have one - including BigTech.

After that it’s about “scope” and “impact”. You can’t have either without managing up, down and horizontally.

I chose to skip breakfast. I am never hungry in the morning. I almost never have breakfast. I eat "late" the night before, like around 8-10 pm. Maybe that's bad? IDK.

While the topic is eating, I hate lunch around noon on a workday because it disables my higher brain functions for a couple of hours. It is almost mandatory however because what else am I supposed to use that mandatory break for? Just vegging out? That's pointless. I'm not working construction, I don't need to rest my body, I'm doing screen work. What I need is them not riding my back about how I'm not always laser focused on the BS they have us do. My brain decides when I need to put work aside and think about things that aren't such tedium.

I don't think it's any less science, inasmuch as science seeks to explain the natural world. It's just at a higher level of complexity and a different point in the learning curve than more externally observable levels of science.

Would we say that Copernicus was a charlatan or not a scientist because the heliocentric model turned out to be wrong? As you acknowledge, Freud pushed the collective understanding further.

Heat pumps account for 2/3 of new heating installations in Germany [1]. Modern buildings with effective insulation seem to make them quite viable, but that hinges on the availability of attractive electricity prices.

The second factor is that carbon-based fuels may become more expensive over time, so perhaps electricity costs “just” needs to remain stable to become attractive.

Especially since those private employers twisted their employees' arms (or fired them) not because they thought the employees were a risk, but because there was an OSHA mandate pending that was going to make them do it. The Supreme Court shot that down not long before it would have gone into effect, but a business can't wait until the last minute. There are HR procedures, consultations with legal, and so on that can take months to make sure everything's covered. So a lot of businesses went ahead as if the OSHA mandate were final, and when it got thrown out it was too late.

Which is exactly what was intended, so later (like we're seeing now) they could say, "Hey, we didn't make you do it."

> Politics is just how humans coordinate in groups.

"Politics" is the word we use to refer to coordination mechanisms.

> Think about the last time a terrible technical decision got pushed through at your company.

There were other interlinked concerns that were more important. "Yes that probably would be better, except that it's not consistent with what we've told the auditors. So it's not happening."

> Stop Avoiding Politics

This says Claude Code but seems like it would apply to Gemini CLI (and its clones like iflow, qwen), opencode, aider etc too as well as work with any decent model out there. I haven't used claude code but these CLIs and models (deepseek, qwen, kimi, gemini, glm, even grok) are quite capable.
Show HN: Summarise voice notes and YouTube links inside WhatsApp and Telegram
by oathly-dev | 2025-10-01 19:49:53+00:00
VoiceNXT is a lightweight bot that runs inside WhatsApp and Telegram. It helps turn voice notes, meeting recordings, and YouTube links into structured summaries and calendar events, without switching apps or dumping raw transcripts.

Instead of full-text output, VoiceNXT distills audio into concise summaries called Pacts, designed to capture decisions, agreements, and key points.

What it does - Transcribes voice notes and meetings into formatted summaries - Extracts audio from YouTube links and generates TLDW recaps - Creates calendar events from spoken reminders

How it works - Supabase edge functions (TypeScript/Deno) - Transcription via DeepGram (primary) and Google STT (fallback) - Summarisation with Gemini, tuned for clarity and decision-making - Direct integration with WhatsApp Business API and Telegram Bot API

Why it matters - Works inside the chat apps people already use - Focuses on clarity and action, not raw transcripts - Enables calendar creation from voice without leaving chat - Private by default, no uploads, no leaks

Limitations - YouTube videos capped at about 40 minutes - Currently English only

Links - voicenxt.com - WhatsApp: wa.me/447830673201?text=help - Telegram: t.me/VoiceNXT_bot

Looking for feedback: especially around use cases, clarity, and whether this feels more useful than traditional transcription bots.

I just wrote a quick HTML renderer in Python with ReportLab: https://GitHub.com/kragen/dercuano/blob/master/genpdf.py

It only handles like 5% of HTML, but it's the 5% I was using.

I've also had success producing PDFs with GhostScript from a PostScript file. PostScript is really easy to write, almost like SVG.

I had the idea to make a service for fixing tags in Azure. It started with me making a bash script to fix tens of thousands of resources in a large Azure tenant. I was not great at Azure or programming so it took me weeks before I was able to fix all edge cases, make it performant enough to "only" spend a few hours per subscription and log everything I wanted it to log.

This has stuck with me as perhaps someone others would want to do easier, and since I like making things, but needed some motivation to get more into programming I used this as a starting point to make it into a webapp with extra niceties such as scheduling for pro users.

I have the ,perhaps crazy expectation, that perhaps someone wants to use and pay for this, but if not it was very fun and a great learning experience.

Right now you can go trough with the pro purchase and use 42 for every number since it points to a stripe sandbox instead of live.

Technologies involved: Alma Linux, Podman, Python, postgresql, flask, LLMs ( Mostly Claude Sonnet 4.0)

I realize it might be a hard pass for many that you have to subscribe with email, and add your cloud credentials to my database, but all I can do is promise I am not doing anything nefarious. Your passwords are hashed and salted, and your passwords are used to encrypt your cloud credentials so unless I did something wrong even I as the super admin should by design, not be able to read anything other than your email. If you do test it out I will respond to any questions and criticism as best I can. But yes I know the only right way to tags is via policies, good terraform modules etc etc. This is for the large tenants that are a mess and hard to clean up and you want your tags fixed pronto. If I am not responding I am just sleeping and will check back as soon as I wake up.

... What is going on? Yes, that's what it means, that's why I used it. Notice it does not say 'lie' or anything directly synonymous with lying. It's related, sure, but not the same.

You can tell that it's not synonymous with lying because had you said to me "are you saying they're lying?" I would have said 'no'. This is always the case with semantic disagreements: if you want to know if someone intends a certain connotation, you can ask if they would agree with a rephrasing.

The disingenuousness is presenting a non mainstream theory as if it is fact. Anyone reading that initial comment probably has no idea whether "cholesterol and statins are suspect science". Had they said "some people think they're suspect science" there would have been nothing wrong. To claim they're suspect as a fact is disingenuous: it could be true, or it could be that the person posting it is one of those anti-establishment nuts who disagrees with consensus science about everything out of conspiratorial distrust and is constantly smuggling that stance into conversations all over the internet. Since it is very easy to present the state of affairs in a forthright manner, the only reason why someone would present them deceptively is (presumably) something like that. Hence knowing that the view is not mainstream is very useful for evaluating the motives of the original poster.

It's not evidence that they were lying, because that implies intent. No, probably they believe what they wrote. But it's evidence their ability to reason is suspect and possibly corrupted by some ideological motivation and so should be taken less seriously.

Not that I care, really, about any of this. Mostly this kind of antagonism is very frustrating and it's just kinda cathartic to try to shut it down.

My suggestion is that instead of engaging with commenters with your "oo! Logical fallacy! You broke the rules of arguing!" stance you instead try to find some way to productively engage with their actual thoughts. Perhaps figuring out why they said what they said instead of assuming anything you do not understand is a sign of a weak mind that needs to be corrected. You'll find people respond much more warmly to you if you do

"By 1965, it moved to Paramount Ranch in the Santa Monica Mountains"

Fun personal fact: Paramount Ranch was also the site of my high school's home cross country course (Westlake High School). During my high school days, the ranch's center was set up as a western town for filming Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman. As a kid, you just accept all of that as normal, everyday things. "Doesn't everyone have Renaissance fairs and TV and movie sets in their town?" It took going to college thousands of miles away to realize and appreciate how delightfully weird Southern California can be.
