I am excited to share WhisperBar with fellow developers or anyone who reads & writes a ton of text when interacting with their AI agent. For the writing part, WhisperBar does what all other Whisper* apps do but a bit faster and more consistent, with a nice, stable, native macOS and iOS app. But where it really shines is in solving a problem that I'm sure you have encountered too: because of AI, we now have to read and comprehend so much more than before. Text to voice systems are not available everywhere, but even when they are, they sound so mechanical, and listening to the entire output is…

As models have become more capable of running autonomously, I’ve been running more and more agents in parallel. But it’s never been clear to me what the number of agents I can handle is - should I be conservative and try 2-3 agents at a time, or try to push myself to go 5+? So we set out to create a new kind of agent visualization that answered this question. There were two types of agent visualizations we found in our research. One was cursor-wrapped or git-style visualizations that showed high level usage statistics throughout the year. The other was single agent visualizations - showin…

This is something I have been working on, on and off, for about a year but now I feel that it is stable enough to release. It really only has two tool sets, an execute tool for arbitrary code, and a bash tool, both of which run 100% in browser. As of now it's free and you can use your ChatGPT subscription or an OpenAI endpoint. There is an optional companion PWA that allows you to drive the extension from your phone and click captchas for it remotely, which I might charge for in the future. But for now it's free and optional. The extension itself has no backend and does not collect any data.…

Hey HN, I'm a Rwandan-American software engineer. I was fortunate enough to make it to the US, build a career here, and have opportunities that changed the trajectory of my life. I've been thinking for a long time about how I could give something back. So I built joinfabfriends.org. The idea is pretty simple: think GoFundMe, but specifically for Rwandan college students who need help paying for things like tuition and textbooks. I'm starting small. I want to learn whether this model works, how to make the process trustworthy and transparent. And because just asking HN for money felt boring, h…

We ran >100k judgements and got >1.6k human ratings to see where do we agree across clean and dark jokes. The main findings: - Gemini 3.7 Flash has the best taste at 64% although it's really close at the top - However, we've trained our own judge that reaches 74% - Humans agree up to ~80%, the other part is subjectivity Other notes: - All frontier models have worse taste on dark jokes except Grok (unsurprisingly haha) - Model int…

Well, everyday I spend more and more time fully inside the terminal and I noticed the time I spend reading markdown now greatly overshadows the time I spend actually writing it, so this helps render markdown nicely. Mermaid diagrams to an extent look good and somewhat understandable without launching any other app. I tried glow and it felt like end of the day I was still looking at markdown like # titles or effects didn't hit the same. Inline images and mermaid diagrams are actually what I wanted the most. Zero dependencies typescript. Gets the job done. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinat…
