Show HN: AI-driven pre-production tool for quick and efficient podcast planning
Hey, we are Arthur, Pascal, and Jochen, the founders of si:cross. We have created a web application to manage your podcast pre-production.

Research and episode structuring are some of the most time-consuming tasks but also crucial for successful podcasts. We help you with that and keep track of your podcasting activities, so you don't run out of ideas and can keep your audience engaged.

You can sign in and create your first show right away at https://app.sicross.com.

We started by building a solution for secure company internal podcast distribution, which is why we have a web application for content creation and a mobile app for listening. During our corporate work at SAP, we experienced that most of the issues faced in business are related to communication issues. By talking to quite a few companies, we realized that there's a high interest in using podcasts internally and externally to improve communication, but the biggest challenge for them is how to plan a proper podcast.

si:cross helps podcasters develop their initial show structure based on a simple idea. With the built-in AI support, si:cross proposes episodes for the show and continuously generates new ones to support the ideation process. Different Kanban boards provide a quick overview of what's already scheduled, what's in process, and what topics still need some more research.

Our Research notes feature comes with AI-supported episode structure proposals. You can adjust the proposed structure or add your own thoughts until you're satisfied with the episode outline and then use it as your script during recording.
After you record an episode, getting feedback and clear instructions on where to cut is essential. Our comment feature after recording or uploading your episode makes that really easy by giving you the related timestamp with one click.

We built the current features to be most useful during the pre-production process, but si:cross also comes with its own mobile app, audience management, and analytics feature.
We are using a serverless stack on AWS for all our backend components complemented by React and React Native for our frontend solutions in both browsers and mobile apps respectively. Our data storage originally relied on DynamoDB, but due to the difficulty of managing our evolving data structure amidst changing requirements, we migrated to an SQL database over time. To keep efforts manageable, we looked for a one codeline solution to serve both iOS and Android mobile applications and decided to go with React Native.

Each account comes with a free trial plan. After the trial ends, you can activate a paid plan for AI support, an additional producer, a co-show owner, and an increased listener count or simply continue with the free plan.

If you ever wanted to start a podcast or want to improve your podcast management, we'd love to get your feedback!
They are the "secret". But efficiency gains (from methods, skills, technology) are usually harder to get and implement than scaling gains. Building a new factory is a known factor; investing in a new ecosystem of manufacturing machines, less so, especially if you have to retrain your workforce. But companies absolutely grow their business without using more resources.

Ininite growth isn't possible, but I genuinely believe near-infinite growth is.
This reminds me of the time I functional programmed the shit out of `async` (featuring closures).

> Wheels are trivial, however not present in biology.

Because roads don't exist in nature..... imagine trying to out run a predator if you just had wheels but no roads.

> Nature creates tentacles, not jet engines, nuclear energy etc

Under water I think you'll find there is jet propulsion.

Plants and animals are powered by nuclear energy - the remote fusion reaction is in the sky. Why have an internal nuclear reactor - fissile material is quite rare and fusion is quite hard to contain.

Human's are overly fond of their own children ( machines ) but fail to see the complexity of life. People are in awe of the latest Boston Dynamics robot - wow it can run - wow if can leap - and but don't post pictures of horses or gymnasts.
So it would make their community more accessible to everyone, including criminals?
Large companies like Microsoft want to add their own bits of code to FOSS projects so they work better in that company's context. if nothing else, the project will receive code contributions.
“Oh those goalposts? We moved them over there because they were getting uncomfortably close.”
Yes, it seemed more appropriate for a kids painting app, like the paint is being 'poured' into the shape. It's probably only cool for the first couple of fills, mind you, after that it might start to get in the way.

Might be fun to have a fill that is actually slower, but is parallelized so you can continue to draw/fill other sections as it happens.
I don't dispute most of what you said, but I take a bit of issue with:

> In terms of the effect on him - you are assuming he isn't somehow human, and somehow these decisions aren't personally very hard to take.

Humans are perfectly capable of doing horrible things and justifying it to themselves; me claiming that his words of "taking full responsibility" is a corporate platitude doesn't imply that I don't think he's human. I'm sure at some level he probably feels emotions the same way I do, but I also think he's somewhat removed from the consequences of his decisions.

We all do it to some extent (don't think too hard about the labor behind your phone or computer). Doesn't mean it's not crappy.
The traditional definition of democracy is “rule by the demos” in contradiction to “rule by a small group ” or “rule by one person. So by this definition, any policy which is not popular with the general public is undemocratic. But it’s clear that’s not the definition the writer of the article is using, and since his definition is unclear I don’t have a clear idea what would be democratic or undemocratic in his view.
I'm using Debian mainly for the last 20 years. I switched my laptop from Ubuntu to Fedora, mainly because Ubuntu snap madness and Debian was not working well on my framework 12gen. I was a bit skeptical due to previous experiences with redhat/fedora, but fedora was solid for the last 6 months. I'm thinking about migrating my desktop from Debian to Fedora.
1. Reading the current spec I'm most wondering with mandatory paging enable. This requires prefilled paging catalogs in RAM. Does it mean CPU can't start until ME (or another external agent) generates these catalogs?

It also looks really weird compared to other ISAs as System/Z or SPARC which really benefit of not using page translation in kernel mode. I'd expect alleviation of switching paging on and off...

2. Looks it's a good moment to relax memory ordering from TSO, with easy control using Flags. (Using it will gradually soar in years, yep.)
My partner and I are both more educated than the other one, but each one in its own (very unrelated) field. I'm so proud of how good and recognized she's in her field (from what I can understand), and I hope she appreciates how I can find my way with anything that has some CPU inside.

Win-win situation if you ask me.

Do this people drink dihydrogen? Wow

Why this is not still prosecuted is beyond my comprehension, but I must admit that thinking in those so dumb as to fall in this absolutely-obvious-scam feels ticklish inside. After Covid years, I'm having a hard time feeling empathy for the anti-science clowns.

Popular Chinese platform WeChat has officially launched its contactless payment service, Palm Pay, just two days ago, according to sources. This new functionality enables users to make payments using their palm prints.
It does seem like most studies show WFH workers being happier/healthier/more productive. Wouldn't necessarily take that as conclusive, but i've certainly not found much evidence beyond random anecdotes saying the opposite.

e.g.https://www.forbes.com/sites/bryanrobinson/2022/02/04/3-new-...
Neat.

aka constructive solid geometry (CSG)? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructive_solid_geometry
I'm thinking something where the system maintains "objects" of arbitrary types, presumably they could include multiple other objects. You just access objects and the system makes them available - the object could be a document, a game, a purchase order, etc. The system would also handle moving them around - what we know as "networking".

(A little like Smalltalk.)

In that case, I see no need for lower level data. No need to read text into memory, no need to serialise anything, no need to open/read/write/close. So all the work we do to handle low level stuff becomes obsolete :) (Or at least provided once by OS programmers.)
this is so blatantly wrong that i loose every respect for these people. It really makes me angry. It's just so selfish. I really don't understand how you can make things worse for everyone, just because you don't want things to change, "city-people" invade you precious suburb or something. In the end gas-guzzling cars pester the environment and use up the precious few emissions we have left in order not to get wrecked by climate change.
it is interesting that earth spends more time with mercury closer than venus due to orbital mechanics, but the entire premise of the article is just an annoying "gotcha" twist of language.

the planet earth is ever nearest to is Venus, which is what people will mean by "closest neighbor". if you work from home and your next door neighbor works at the office, it doesn't make the retired lady in the next house over your closest neighbor, regardless of spending more time in closer relative proximity to her.
Something about this hypergamy concept is strange. At some level, it seems obvious - people will seek out partners with a higher status than themselves. That is not a behavior specific to women.

It feels like this article is portraying women as creatures bound to their nature and men as unchanging monoliths.
> My point is if it were possible we should see at least some examples of it happening.

We see it all the time? Google's revenue is up last quarter despite redundancies meaning they have a lower headcount. Adding robotics to a car production line can massively increase the productivity of a single factory despite needing less headcount, often allowing other factories to shut.

Something like Intellij or Copilot can make the entire tech workforce more efficient _far_ in excess of what it cost to make.
As light flies yes. But not closest to get stuff there (delta-v). Probably that's where Venus comes in.
My dream would be some Linux distribution that lets me sign into AWS and creates the relevant cloud infrastructure for me as part of installation or setup after installation.

I would want it to be standard and recommended.
Earth as a Tetrahedron Map Projection
No, you're more likely to simply be downvoted into grey, as the aggregate of HN is not a conspiracist crackpot.
> If that's the case why are we sending wheeled rovers to mars/moon and not something with legs?

Because Mars is a simple and boring environment. Most of its surface, and especially the parts we target with rover missions, are effectively flat sheets peppered with rocks - a decent set of wheels and suspension is close to optimal for navigating such terrain.

Now, if we were to send missions to a planet that's mostly forests and rivers, like Earth used to be, then wheels wouldn't cut it - not before cutting down some of the forests first.

> the point is that nature doesn't have monopoly on being optimal. This also applies to intelligence/learning/modeling something better than brain.

Fair enough. Nature doesn't do globally optimal - but it makes things heavily optimized for their environment. That's why our planes are nowhere near as energy-efficient in flying as birds are, but birds cannot travel as far and as fast as our planes can.
> It was called cobol.

Taking something that's lower level than C and replacing characters with words is not exactly what one'd call a plain English interface, it's just being obnoxiously verbose.

There's a stark difference between trying to somehow half-assedly hardcode this into a language, and having a language that is designed for debugging only, fairly strict in handling corner cases, and then having a natural language interface on top of it so nobody actually has to write the cancer that it likely ends up being.
Doesn't this also imply that the sun is mostest closest to any planet than any other planet?
Are the allies of Ukraine supposed to look away at the first time since the OG 1933-45 Nazis that someone tries to re-draw borders and annex countries using war?!

What Russia did was a complete and utter shart on the international rule of law.
What if the metric driving your stock is engagement and you've managed to somehow maximise it? How do you continue to grow when there's a finite number of people in the world and a finite number of hours in the day? There's also a finite number of ads you can show before you've enshitified your product and start shedding users, and a finite number of ways you can make efficiency gains when it comes to serving them (including layoffs).
Thanks! I added issue about it:

As many said before ; it’s not learning Cobol (or Fortran), it’s the weird IBM mainframe/OS ecosystem that is the problem. I am good at both languages, but I know very little about the ecosystem it runs in.
It's just presenting data.
Most are not ready to accept it because - ironically - the media pumps the ether with a narrative that what they are doing is journalism, has value, etc. I have a friend who went to school for journalism and (I swear) doesn't understand the difference between news and op-ed.

Few are willing to admit they've been duped so they double down on embracing the con. It's a vicious cycle.
> For example, NATO doesn't force countries to join, and doesn't invade countries if they want to leave or join another alliance. See France.

France never actually left NATO the organisation – they just withdrew from NATO's military command structure (1966), only to later rejoin it (2009). No country has ever sought to leave NATO the organisation. There is a clear procedure for doing so (Article 13), but no member has ever invoked it.

Interestingly, Article 13 actually says that prior to 1969, none of the members are allowed to leave. I doubt the US would have invaded any of them if they'd broken that clause though.

Code Quality: Debunking the Speed vs. Quality Myth with Empirical Data
A while back, there was a leak of some sort whereby many of these pole cameras in Massachusetts became accessible to the public. While this is anecdotal, it seemed to me at the time that the cameras were more than capable of peering through windows, as though someone were standing on the sidewalk with binoculars. The cameras themselves were concealed so they looked like utility equipment.
Perhaps they need to send archives to an automated process that only accepts rar files and no one wants to touch it to support other formats because the guy who built left the company decades ago and the system has quietly just worked without trouble over all those years.

Yes, the demand shocks of the pandemic restriction and easing of restrictions, combined with the bullwhip effect (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullwhip_effect) have created a very interesting case study in industrial dynamics
Google is one company that has traditionally focused on light clients (Chromebooks) for its employees and now wants all developers to use cloud desktops. This is just a logical extension of this trend for Enterprises.
It strongly correlated with wealth, which itself strongly correlates with status/class
The WinRAR license is the nicest one I have. Find that old email and open the attached RAR file and voila, it's registered. I never regretted buying it.
It’s an intrinsic part of ad-supported news (which seems to be all we have right now).

When news was just news there were “slow news days” where there was either no reporting or “fluff”.
Whenever I see something about browser APIs from Google I think "this is probably not a standard".
I guess, Mercury's relationship with the other planets is quite... mercurial.

That about sums it up. Doesnt seem like a particularly balanced source either
I'm still hoping that the OS will make our lives (programmers and users) easier, rather than us having to know about the low-level stuff, even if (these days) we usually handle it by invoking yet another library.
Corruption is a pretty fuzzy concept, and most people aren't very good to handle gray areas. I think it's an issue of there not being incentives for any successful group to keep corruption as primary topic in the Overton window, since it's equivalent to marking yourself as an outsider to the political class.

From time to time you'd have waves of populism that can be ridden, and outsiders can get in power, but those never really last.

In my Eastern-European backwards nation that's affected by endemic corruption I was actually thinking of founding at one point a suicide-party, that is basically unelectable but who's main purpose would be to bring the necessary ideas in the Overton window, so that the successful parties at least have to address them.

It's definitely not an easy problem, as most of those that actually understand social processes and can do something have mostly become wealthy and indifferent to the greater good.
How is "using a standard API as intended" "hacking IP cams"?
"Infinite" growth is funny, cos infinity is funny. Eventually there's gonna be some hard cap, but for all we know that's thousands of years away, so it's not really worth talking about. But we're still getting way more efficient at growing food and building infrastructure.

Like, about 150 years ago an American farm could get about 26 bushels of corn per acre. The last few years, we've gotten 174, about 6x more. And that's in a very favourable agricultural zone, chances are it's even greater in more marginal areas!

It is literally not cable all over again.

Cable (or satellite TV) was all media creators and watchers having to deal with a small number of middlemen.

Having to have someone come to your house, install hardware, run wiring, have set top boxes, only being able to watch at home at a certain time without a separate recording device…does not sound anything at all like watching media over the internet.

I don't know why you're so insistent on asking a non-lawyer for legal advice.

Do you have any proof for your claims? So far I'm mainly getting a https://www.reddit.com/r/Persecutionfetish/ vibe from them.
I think there is a significant disconnect between a simple, consistent "theoretical" view on camera privacy and actual human sensibilities: I am very confident that humans in general are absolutely not comfortable with being the target of video recording; this became very evident with the whole google glass fiasco, when people wearing those were sometimes straight up banned from restaurants for making people uncomfortable- while surveillance cameras are less "targeted", less visible and at least provide marginal utility, it seems very clear to me that most humans consider it not appropriate to "video record" in every place that you could be "watched" by a bystander (and even just looking at people can drift into offensiveness- consider younger attractive persons veing creepily stared at).

I personally believe that cameras in public places should not be blanket banned, but that individuals should have a viable avenue to get them removed if they care to expend some (legal?) effort.
I did not have the ability to access pretty much any media I wanted at almost anytime on almost any device, almost anywhere, until streaming.

Aka The Fourth Estate.

I laugh (read: cry) everytime I hear a wannabe "journalist" lament the "threats to Democracy", not realizing - or at least not acknowledging - that they and their ilk have been leading that effort, shamelessly, for years.

If there's any group that knows first hand about what "the threat to Democracy" looks like, it's contemporary "journalism".
I think that the trick - that it's not automatic for most people - is "on average". I guess people tend to think about the minimum distance rather than the average.
Incredible the negative impact of contemporary fears about journalistic integrity. Fact is they exposed corruption across the city using the only way possible.
