Hey HN community!

I’m Brent, and I wanted to share Retellio—a tool I built to help founders get straight to the point with customer calls. Retellio turns hours of call recordings into podcasts that highlight only the key insights: feature requests, pricing questions, competitor mentions, and more.

The idea came from my experience at a SaaS company where listening to customer calls was crucial to growth but incredibly time-consuming. I kept thinking, “What if there was a way to get just the important stuff?”

How Retellio works:
It connects with tools like Gong, Zoom, and Salesforce, combs through your recordings, and finds the best moments. Then, Retellio puts it all together in a short, AI-narrated podcast that you can listen to on your favorite podcast app. No extra steps, just your own private feed with the insights that matter.

Where we’re at:
We’re currently in beta and looking for feedback. If you’re a founder, product lead, or anyone who wants faster access to customer insights, I’d love to get your thoughts!
Agile is not there for higher velocity! It is sold to management that way often, but intrinsically - no.

Agile though is meant to reduce waste. In other words, you don't march faster, but are supposed to spend more time marching in the right direction. (I personally loathe agile and find it intrinsically broken.. I just find it kind of funny that a process oriented around dynamic environments is supposed to give predictability and speed, when it gives neither. If anything, a lack of predictability since direction can change)
We do, but we get "spins". When a distro starts they accidentally pick a core desktop environment by simply picking one first. They call their distro Foobar Linux and everyone is happy. Later people realize that the choice of desktop environment wasn't good for everyones needs and they add a KDE spin called Koobar Linux or Foobara Linux or who knows what else worse unrelated shit they can call it.

The end result is that most users who are getting involved in Linux for the first time are making this choice long before they even know they are making this choice or being given an option simply by picking a random letter version of a distro like Xubuntu or Kubutnu or not having a letter at all and it being Ubuntu alone.

There are a few distros that have done it better and given the user a choice upon install to pick their DE. OpenSUSE has always done something like that from what I recall and I appreciate it a lot.
Most people don't know what depression is. I'd say I've been depressed most of my life but the best periods have been the ones where I was physically active.

Now, there's a bit of a chicken and egg problem here -am I sedentary because I'm depressed or am I depressed because I'm sedentary?

I would agree with the previous poster that exercise brings me out of depression, but I spend most of my depressive periods thinking I should be more active, right now I'm in one and I keep trying to get into some healthy habits but I keep giving up because I just don't have whatever it is that I need to keep it going. I even get nearly immediate results, just a few weeks of activity has me feeling better already. But then I find some reason to take a break and then the break drags on and I'm back to where I started.

So maybe it's the depression keeping me down or maybe it's my lack of discipline causing depression but either way I'd say physical activity is important for how you feel on a daily basis and I genuinely think just getting into a regular rhythm of exercise even just one day a week can have huge impacts on your life.

Have you tried https://linear.app/ already?

There's also the Github Projects refresh: https://github.com/features/issues (I don't know what it's called now, they keep rebranding it with confusing generic terms, but it's a different UI than just the "Issues" tab in a repo)
Android does have support for external keyboards and I know mice work but not the totality of pointing devices. There was a desktop experience with Samsung's DeX, complete with floating windows, but the experience was severely broken due to lackluster app support and clashing design priorities between touch and mouse.

Thing is that Android is probably no more secure than a standard desktop experience specifically due to the very uncontained Play Store, the prevalence of sideloading apps and rooting doesn't really help at all.
It's the weight loss that leads to "remission" (experts outside of companies promoting low-carb interventions would argue about the use of this term here).
Why are you insisting on this comparison to ribosomes? They’re both interesting.

the electoral college was a compromise made a long time ago that has two facets: the indirect nature of voting for representatives who vote for us (that was necessitated by preindustrial communication and transportation systems) and some extra weight given to smaller states to get them to agree to come into the union. That was the deal, no takesy-backsies.

It is not going to change because those states that are disadvantaged by the change will not agree to it, so we are discussing it here for fun, not for profit. And if you think the advantage those states have is so overwhelmingly good, you are free to move to one of them, they are not exclusive clubs or oligarchies, they are open democracies themselves.

A major side benefit we get from the electoral college is, our elections get fought out in a small number of places which is an economically efficient way to do it. It is not the case that we are ignoring the voters of the other places, we are simply precounting them into their respective columns. If those places swung to more left-right balance, they could add themselves to the list of places fought over, and I guarantee that would make none of those people happy because elections, like making sausage, is ugly business.

Remember, if enough people move from California to Rhode Island, it is Rhode Island that will be complaining that California is getting a free ride in the electoral college...
It could very well be that they had bad ideas that were not going to turn into good games and figured that out in time to cancel things and not burn more money. Technically that's good management.

Games are a space where ideas that seem good at first blush might take a lot of effort to prove that they are bad.

There isn't much data available on a "theory of fun" so we mostly have to deal with hoping people have good ideas and brute force testing.
> Mitochondrial DNA mutates 100-1,000 times faster than the human genome

This statement is very interesting for two reasons:

1) We not consider mitochondrial DNA as part of the human genome when it's clearly is and can be used to establish the maternal genetic lineage.

2) Traditionally, we always think of telomere reduction and genetic mutations as the root cause of aging but not mitochondrial genetic damages.
have not but will take a look, thanks
I wish more people thought of it as a safeguard like you do.
I’ve only used a little bit of Go. If the API is going to be small and simple I’d use Go, the build and deploy process is probably going to be slightly easier to deal with?

Otherwise I’d choose Kotlin because it seems a more fun and flexible language than Go. And you also have loads of Java libraries at your disposal.
Yes, and as of today that party would be the one youre (probably) not thinking of.
Do you have experience living with high blood pressure for 20+ years? Have you ever experienced blood pressure spikes and the after effects in stressful situations?
TIL, this is missing context, thanks for explaining.
I think there are plenty of diseases where people would be willing to roll the dice on low probability unintended consequences if it meant a massive 100% probability life improvement. This research is great because it reduces our uncertainty about the former option.

That said, I wouldn't wanna be the first person to do elective CRISPR therapy for something that I don't actually need (i.e. LASIK, etc).

I agree that it's unlikely but consider that Apple stores have a "dock" that can power on an iPhone and do an iOS upgrade while it's sealed in the box. Who knows what P2P communication protocols iPhones have.
I _think_ what they mean is it's not typically listed as a "life form" in its own right, i.e., there's no Domain under which one would classify Mitochondria - maybe just calling them bacteria would capture the article's intent?

So, the modification would be that we are living in symbiosis with mitochondrial bacteria, similar to how we live in symbiosis with our gut bacteria, rather than them being classified as "organelles" of eukaryote cells.
We didn't evolve to understand "self", and indeed most animals do not. There was no evolutionary pressure to do so. We're having to discover it piece by piece.
The article covers this and I think the title is a bit too general. It is a byproduct of how CRISPR works as it targets a specific sequence. In this case the sequence is also present in areas that were non-targeted. Essentially, the sequence was not unique so the process impacted other areas in unintended ways.
Thank you very much for the list.
From what I understand, the Permanent Apportionment Act can be adjusted or removed as result of a law being passed which would make it a really promising option. Access to representatives and durability against corruption also feel like they could be really compelling issues to voters.

The strongest response I have received to this suggestion is something like a fear about having more paid politicians. I don't see an increase in the number of legislators as the same as an increase in executive branch bureaucrats. I think part of the issue that does come to mind is how we fit twice as many reps in the capitol. I like the idea of having to adjust the size and arrangement of our legislative chamber. I also like the idea of addressing housing challenges; maybe its time to bring back the legislator bunkhouses. It becomes the reason to review and revise the existing standards for offices, housing, and even the culture of the house or representatives.
Didn't know about that side of his talent. Among broader Russian audience Stiver was known as a maintainer of the largest pirate library in Russian (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41634780).
Probably the inverse. If nobody is running their C programs through Valgrind then you're basically giving away free vulnerabilities to any adversary that cares enough to look for them. Microsoft sounded the alarm on this decades ago.
This is how many live-update and hot-patching systems work.

Some changes are easy and reliable; if you need to add a new condition or a few instructions, you can build your new basic block of instructions elsewhere and then atomically insert a jump to that basic block (which then jumps back to the correct post-insertion point).

Others are hard; if you need to add a new variable to some state that's being tracked, then you have to find a way to know when it's a safe time during execution to make that change, and you might have had to wrap accesses to that state in RCU gadgets.

It takes expertise, but it's doable and satisfying when you manage it!
I think this is fine? 99.99% of the time in application-land I want to be working with valid UTF-8 only, and an equal percentage of the time, filenames and CLI args cooperate. And as the sibling comments say, this is all well-documented.

Frankly I think the onus should be on operating systems to get with the program and be UTF-8 everywhere (I think UCS-2 on Windows and "bag of bytes" filenames on Linux are braindead), but until that happens we at least have std::env::args_os as an escape hatch.

Agreed.

I'd love a better way to pay the artists of the content I end up torrenting--just so long as it actually gets to the people who made the content and not the people turning the world into a pile of telescreens.

That award goes to Greg Egan who has full list of citations on his website for each of his novels, as well as a list of mathematicians and physicists he requested help from.

If you want to read books that occasionally delve into pages of equations, Greg Egan is the author for you! (Seriously though, really good books, and the implications of his "what-ifs" are pretty damn cool)

Let me introduce you to my friend, Rupert Murdoch. Once you two are finished talking I don't ever want to hear you conflate mainstream media with leftist influence again.
"Because functional programming isn't infinitely good,"

Some languages do make it harder, but functional programming is infinitely good.

I hear god used functional programming when he made the universe.

He tried objects once, I think C++, and accidently created Australia. Some error with multiple inheritance.

Sounds surprising. Which ones? PG and Sqlite don't. MySQL maybe does. Redis and MongoDB apparently don't from a quick skim.

They will.

- It's a cornerstone of their brand.

- R2 users are at least paying for something (storage).

- Their network is massively overbuilt to be able to absorb DDoS attacks.

- They offer free bandwidth with their CDN - including completely free users. These resources need to get fetched from origin and/or cached. R2 doesn't have to fetch from origin which eliminates the bandwidth required for the fetch.

Large providers typically pay very little/nothing for bandwidth other than equipment costs (ports, etc). As a large provider they have free peering to most of the "last mile" ISP/eyeball networks in the world. This benefits all parties because these ISPs don't have to pay transit providers and neither does Cloudflare and it's faster. Same goes for all of the big clouds.

People who think AWS/GCP/Azure/etc bandwidth pricing of $0.12/GB (or whatever) is fair/reasonable have no idea what bandwidth actually costs these operators. As noted it's effectively nothing and the big clouds capitalize on this ignorance by charging insane markups for bandwidth.
That's almost the same setup as mine and I think there are a lot of users like us out there that want to use a regular desktop experience but sometimes want a bit of spice. I think the Burn My Windows extension gives me enough fun when I need it without diverting too much of my time to "ricing".
It's interesting, could you expand on thus?
+1 to Nick Lane

I’ve only read The Vital Question, but I felt it was a great introduction to biochem for someone not in the field.
Depends on your definition of organelle (whether you limit it to plastids/mitochondria, both of which were derived from external independent living cells, or use a more expansive definition that includes more cell compartments that weren't derived from independent living cells).

General acceptance of the endosymbiont theory is a relatively recent (much less than 50 years) phenomenon.
Back in the day, I had to deal with some poorly documented closed source Java applications (e.g. IBM WebSphere). Tools like Fernflower and its precursors were invaluable to fill the gaps.

Thank you, Stiver, and R.I.P.
It’s really not. The strawman that if we add a few features that have stood the test of time in every other language we’ll end up with C++ is just not true. Nobody is proposing adding SFINAE-based conditional compilation, rvalue references, multiple inheritance, or any of the million other Byzantine features that make C++ virtually impossible to use correctly. Adding sum types and a match statement does not necessarily start you down that path.
It must have been pretty bad. I should say that when I knew him, he walked with no obvious limp.
Ok yes maybe "easy" isn't exactly the correct term, but the way to appoint electors in each state doesn't need a 2/3 majority in every house + 3/4 of the states as it happens with Constitutional amendaments. So it's definitely an easier approach

Even if we assume that you are correct by claiming that fruitarian diet was that killed Steve Jobs, you cannot extrapolate that fruits are unhealthy from the fact that diet of only fruits is harmful.

A diet of only water is deadly != water is not healthy.

That's really interesting. I don't remember it being particularly difficult to read compared to other "literary" novels. Have you tried any other Rushdie works?

I have found though that often it takes me much longer to read the first few pages of a book, often the first few chapters, as if my brain needs time to internalize the author's style in order to read the rest more efficiently.

> If changing the laws of the universe is fine, then nothing gets excluded even Harry Potter.

Greg Egan's law changes are on the level of "I consulted with a bunch of theoretical physics professors and asked them what the implication of tweaking this one fundamental constant would be, then I spent years meticulously crafting a world that takes into account those implications, and I had others physics professors check over my work to make sure it was within the bounds of actuality, and then I wrote a story about characters in this new world."

> Asking questions like what does AGI look like when they can’t just magically solve all issues can be fun.

Greg Egan actually has a great book about this! Permutation City. CPU cycles aren't unlimited, and there are tons of ethical problems being confronted with the entire "simulate a person" thing.
I think there's some important overlap, in that both groups seem to have an absolutist story plus a depersonalizing policy towards a different gender.

However there's a pretty stark difference between how their narratives begin:

1. "My isolation is unjust, from bad people attempting to hurt me."

2. "My isolation is justified way to make bad people feel hurt."

Combine those two confrontational stories with a male/female split, and you get four quadrants.

> thinly veiled abortion argument

Kek.
a lot of focus on the definition of "alive" in the comments, but i think that the weight of this rests on it being a step toward confirming the endosymbiotic relationship theory which states that mitochondria were potentially part of another eukaryotic cells carrying what would become mitogchodria were engulfed by another cell. this affected cellular development by outsourcing energy production for the cell itself. a lot of times the results seem "self-evident" but you still have to find evidence to support or reject a theory and this seems like a step in that direction.
> I've never taken any opiod, but two weeks of being unable to breathe properly or sleep sounds as hellish as my idea of quitting heroin.

Let me assure you that there's (yet?) no Xylometazoline epidemic ravaging though Europe, with tens of thousands of people dying each year, destroying families and communities, in effect causing endless grief for people and huge profits for pharma companies. There's also no black market for Xylometazoline, with people overdosing because there's nasal spray on the street that is contaminated with a much more potent derivative than can kill pretty much instantly. I've also never heard of babies born with congested noses that spend their first weeks of life going through a Xylometazoline withdrawal.

So to summarize, I think my initial statement that a physical dependence on Xylometazoline is less harmful than a dependence on opioids is probably correct.
They emit methane as a by product of eating the grass, it's like chucking the grass up in the air and having to wait approx 20 years for it to fully come back down to be eaten again, it's still circular, it's still fully sustainable. Digging up fossil oils from deep ground and shuving it into the atmosphere and never ever putting it back deep into the ground is the elephant in the room here.
Wow I was pro-electoral college before reading your comment, but now I'm cemented in my view.

What you're essentially saying is that the electoral college favors areas with more open minds willing to vote either direction, rather than hard core voting by party, and that is probably the greatest reason to keep it. Political parties _sometimes_ have the people or country's best interest in mind, but ultimately they are seeking power.

I think I agree both books were good and "A Deepness In The Sky" was better, but I would warn everyone that I thought both books used dramatic irony (showing us that characters were evil while hiding this from main characters) to hold attention to a degree that I kind of hated. And in "A Deepness In The Sky" sexual violence was used repeatedly to illustrate how evil the main characters were. I found it unnecessarily and a bit in poor taste.

On the other hand I think both books developed ideas wonderfully and there are bits of them I keep coming back to, even if I'll probably never reread them
