Show HN: Super Note Taker – Free Meeting Notes with Local ML
I recently discovered you can run ML transcription models (e.g., Whisper) in your browser thanks to the Transformer.js library.

So I decided to build a completely browser-based meeting recorder and transcriber, à la Otter.ai .

It comes with a notepad and the ability to easily export some pre-made prompts.
That way you can quickly get Summary, Action points, etc. by pasting the exports in your favourite AI assistant.

For transcription I’m using a (english) model called Moonshine that is quite performant even with “less powerful” machines and has a small size (~60 MB). The accuracy is good enough for most of my use cases and LLM can recover transcription errors quite well.

The model is stored in the Web Cache so it persists and you don’t need to re-download it every time.

The application works on Chromium browsers only because unfortunately the Screen Capture API with audio is supported only there… Hopefully other browsers are going to match it soon, I didn't find a work around!

Let me know what you think :)
I have used Erlang when elixir still had to emerge. Today, I am using Elixir, with Phoenix LiveView and OTP Genserver, Supervisor and ETS.

I would start with Elixir, if only because of its newbie friendly community. The Erlang community is reflected in the 'erlang in anger' book.

But if you need to deploy on a small platform, say 32 bit 100MBytes, Erlang is the way to go.
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.

I’ve seen corporate slogans fired off from the shoulders of viral creatives. Synergy-beams glittering in the darkness of org charts. Thought leadership gone rogue… All these moments will be lost to NDAs and non-disparagement clauses, like engagement metrics in a sea of pivot decks.

Time to leverage.

Huh?

The linked site is https://github.com/suitenumerique/docs which has the commits, readme, code comments, and issues in English.

The github description links to https://docs.numerique.gouv.fr/ which is available in English, French and German.
I guess that's the "problem" with generic product names. There's also Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, Microsoft Calendar etc. - Docs is not different than that.
Raster quality is limited by how much effort engine developers are willing to put into finding computationally cheap approximations of how light/materials behave. But it feels like the easy wins are already taken?

There are a number of axes of performance that aren't covered in this [wonderful] article on storage performance. One of these is that EBS allows you to scale the VM up / down to change the amount of CPU & RAM available to process data on disk. We run several hundred ClickHouse clusters on this model. Rescaling to address performance issues is far more common than failures.

Example; you get a tenant performance issue on Sunday morning US time. The simplest fix is often rescale to a larger VM for the weekend, then get the A team working on the root cause first thing Monday. The incremental cost is minimal and avoids far more costly staff burnout.
Perhaps a shorter term risk is the publishers consider some papers less profitable, so they stop preserving them.
We are currently moving to the Odoo knowledge application. It's very similar to notion but much less sluggish.

I’m replying to myself to address multiple other replies.

First of all, it’s really sad to see people saying it doesn’t matter the journey of how one achieves success, and all that matters is your current state.

Brushing the CCPs countless acts of IP theft under the rug is like saying it doesn’t matter that the Trump family committed financial fraud for decades. All that matters is that they’ve managed to become billionaires today. Would the Trump family be anywhere near as wealthy if they hadn’t cheated for so long? Would China be much further behind than they are now if the CCP hadn’t stolen so much IP? I see multiple people here implying those questions are irrelevant, which I absolutely disagree with. Ignoring all that history is a huge injustice to everyone else who didn’t resort to that kind of behavior.

I also want to be clear I’m not trying to make some ridiculous claim that Chinese individuals have been working independently to hack and steal IP. It’s their government and that same government is to blame for the many people like me who really look down on them despite what they’ve ultimately been able to achieve. They undoubtedly have huge numbers of brilliant citizens. When I make comments about China’s shameful history of tech IP theft, I’m talking about their government.
Please tell me more!

My goal here is absolutely to use the dialog element as a modal - I thought that was what it was for, and that using it in this way has significant accessibility benefits.
This sounds like some serious copium, we don’t live in the vastness of time, we live now. Not to mention that I can assure you in the vastness of time his work will also be forgotten in an almost as small a “blink of the eye” in geological time.

You could just as easily say “we’ll all end up rotting in the blink of an eye, so better to be happy and enjoy it than waste your time trying pointlessly to do something of note that will be forgotten”.

Google Docs isn’t near the same as Notion. Not even close.

Notion treats information as a repository and keeps things indexed, searchable, and has some ways to automatically sort things, has ability to seamlessly create different types of documents and weave them together and so much more that Docs lack.

Docs doesn’t even have native markdown support last I checked
Intel is close. Good history with software.

If they started shipping GPUs with more RAM, I think they'd be in a strong position. The traditional disruption is to eat the low-end and move up.

Silly as it may sound, but a Battlemage where one can just plug in DIMMs, with some high total limit for RAM, would be the ultimate for developers who just want to test / debug LLMs locally.

The extension looks native to the system in the screenshot which is impressive. It might be helpful for some users if file size and type are added to the list.
I meant taking a break from working whilst still at your desk, as that’s the context of this thread.
There used to be significant alignment between engineers, founders and certain VCs: lots of excitement around building software that genuinely made things better/easier/cheaper. Each group naturally wanted a different thing out of this arrangement but each camp was on the same page.

Now I feel like everything is more top-down. The tech sector feels less like market capitalism and more like something being centrally planned: we all must chase trends that come from various industry thought-leaders. And it all must be done a very specific way (this in particular is why Chinese companies are likely going to disrupt the AI market: they’re free from this burden)

While Linux did originate in the EU, it is now primarily sponsored by American companies. In fact, one can argue that Linux is originally a poor copy of UNIX that was possible only because it would have been complicated to make the IP legal claims where it was born.

And its rise is largely linked to the internet (from DARPA) and later Android (from Google).

The EU is largely a freeloader when it comes to tech things and it seems like it cannot succeed in that field largely because of the EU bureaucracy (try to standardize things before they even started).

I think it's about time the EU starts to worrying about that, because it is no good to be so dependent on another country for something so critical.
I've heard this a lot from my peers. They tend to feel less valuable(and at times, replaceable) in large organisations. Fortunately, for me, I've always been part of lean orgs, and hope to continue doing so in the future as well. Lean orgs value your contributions a lot.

I would go further: don't parse with regular expressions. At all. They should be used for search (does this text contain something I'm looking for) not parsing (creating a syntax tree from unstructured input).

Google "Inflation adjusted per-student spending in washington state schools over time" produces:

"since 2012, Washington state public school funding has increased 39 percent (adjusted for inflation), rising from $13,775 per student in 2012 to $19,163 per student in 2024, but the level of student learning has not improved."

>When path tracing works, it is much, much, MUCH simpler and vastly saner algorithm than those stacks of 40+ complicated rasterization hacks in current rasterization based renderers that barely manage to capture crude approxinations of the first indirect light bounces.

It's ironic that you harp about "hacks" that are used in rasterization, when raytracing is so computationally intensive that you need layers upon layers of performance hacks to get decent performance. The raytraced results needs to be denoised because not enough rays are used. The output of that needs to be supersampled (because you need to render at low resolution to get acceptable performance), and then on top of all of that you need to hallu^W extrapolate frames to hit high frame rates.
entirely aside from where value accrues relative to where it's created, it's just true that universities aren't building what are pretty interesting and promising new technologies. you're mistaking a positive statement for a normative one, which is a depressingly common turn of events on the internet. it is simply true that all this stuff is getting built by corporations, which is not a value judgement as to that being good. as i said, we should be thinking about why corporations are beating out our academic institutions, because that's the starting point to fix them.
But that is true regardless of whether a male is fit enough to survive a cannibalistic female, which means that pacifist females do not have an advantage in natural selection:

As long as there are enough males in circulation that can succeed in fertilizing before being eaten, then there's no pressure on females to drop the cannibalistic strategy. Any male that cannot win the cannibalism game can only fertilize pacifist females, but a male that can win the cannibalism game has genes that can be passed on to both cannibalistic and pacifist females. So the genes of cannibalistic females have broader reach within a species that has already gotten to majority-cannibalistic because her male offspring can fertilize both types of female rather than just one type.

Again, to GP's point, just because non-cannibalism would be more beneficial to the species as a whole doesn't mean that evolutionary pressure on individual genetic lines will select away from it. The individual line is often better off being selfish and selecting the strategy that gives them the broadest possible range of propagation (hence Richard Dawkins' title, The Selfish Gene), which in this case is cannibalism.

Show HN: Cppmatch – Rust-Like Pattern Matching and Error Handling for C++
I've created cppmatch, a lightweight, header-only C++ library that brings Rust-inspired pattern matching and error handling to C++.

It tries to imitate the functionality of the questionmark (?) operator in C++ by using a macro that uses
the gcc extension https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Statement-Exprs.html

This allows to create exceptionless code with non-intrusive error-as-value that unlike Exceptions, makes it clear which kinds of error a function can generate and forces you to handle (or ignore) them.

The ? operator translates to *expect*
To handle the errors I introduce *match* which allows to easily visit the contents of the result or any std::variant (you can use it to imitate rust enums)

You can view an example of this project used in a "real way" in compiler-explorer:

Simplified error types to just be a string: https://compiler-explorer.com/z/6j3866E7W

Multiple structs as error types: https://compiler-explorer.com/z/encbf5f43

Feel free to give feedback or contribute to the project!

Your perspective is totally valid - people should do what works best for them. But dismissing the conversation out of hand could limit opportunities for a deeper understanding of what kind of work aligns with both personal fulfilment and societal good.

This is something I would definitely try to guage what our customers want. Where are you based? When you say "We may share your information with trusted third-party service providers (such as payment processors) to provide our services.", could I see a list of all of those "trusted" service providers, so I can ensure that I also trust them?

It really is absolutely astounding. They're going all in and so far it's messy, but maybe working for them? It's going to be a different world on the other side of this, and I'm not sure if their plans will work out exactly as they think, but I don't think I'm as psychotic as they are so who knows what they'll come up with.

The only way they will be punished is if someone stops them, until then they're making just about all the rules here.

The sonic cleanliness of NIN is absolutely one of the things that I love and I agree that PHM was raw compared to a far more refined TDS and what follows. The intentional arrangement or emphasis of sounds so that you do or don't have to deconflict and separate them increases the emotional and psychological fabric of the music immensely.

This makes me think of a past friend who kind of blew my mind by reporting and then insisting (when I struggled to believe) that he didn't really listen to the words in music and sometimes didn't even hear them. I totally appreciate that many people experience music almost exclusively as a tonal experience and it's fascinating to me. Music can be great on that level. I can't separate it and appreciate a song that has more thoroughly attended to more of my dimensions. Songs that satisfy that cleanliness only tonally seem incomplete and far less satisfying down to jarring. Examples of that end of the spectrum include happy songs about domestic violence that don't also punch with irony, where it's like they haven't figured out what an abusive existence they describe. I get the importance of sending telegrams from experiences we have had but too often it feels like they're going to be heard in ways that subconsciously replicate ala meme theory (at least what I know of the academic form).

For me, music is an assemblage of the aural, intellectual, emotional, cultural, and surely more as a form of compressed communication. My favorite songs sound incredible while arranging every piece you reasonably need to assemble some pinnacle thought or understanding. A very grand-in-scope example is Pink Floyd's (actually written by Polly Samson) High Hopes which discusses social and economic dynamics. I heard it later in life and it is of a much different sound but satisfies the same passionate desire in me. Another includes Bjork's Mutual Core discussing the challenges of navigating the paradoxes of individual agency within romantic unions under differences of being and definition. These and those like them each seem like someone who has done the work to drill into multi-dimensional clarity and done the work to share it in a way that reinforces and works to elevate humanity.

Sorry to carry on so but thank you for stimulating this one.
Mark, your work has inspired me! Thanks for your work on the posts.

You can quite often write C code that compilers will autovectorize into what you want.. if the thing in question is a simple case, or you put in effort into doing the non-trivial aspects yourself.

e.g. for the loop reordering example [1] in C you could just, well, manually reorder the loops; and the simple loop would autovectorize to AVX2 just fine.

The things that are messy-to-impossible to achieve in current traditional compilers are things where the compiler thinks it does a smart transformation, but it ends up making things worse.
