Show HN: So many models, which to pick?

https://pareto.abhi.in/

Got tired of digging through pricing pages and benchmark tables every time a new model dropped. So I made a chart that plots them all: intelligence (from Artificial Analysis benchmarks) vs. price (live from OpenRouter).The models with the yellow ring are Pareto-optimal + a few others that are close.Mostly made this for myself, but thought I'd share!Let me know if you can think of any obvious...

Show HN: CtrlSPEAK – Open-Source Speech-to-Text for macOS

https://github.com/patelnav/ctrlspeak

After months of vibe-coding, I found myself not committing to any speech to text app.Mostly because I didn't trust them:I wanted something that ran locally, was open-source, and wasn't trying to squeeze me for a subscription for a trivial wrapper around a plethora of models.There are some (fantastic new models)[https://huggingface.co/spaces/hf-audio/open_asr_leaderboard] coming out all the...

My wife shared Obama's yearly instagram post with "his" songs of the year. "Can you turn this into a YouTube playlist"

I could! And with no sleep, I could turn it into a product too. Nostalgia included. (her idea!)

$20 for a domain and burning a chunk of my fast requests quota on Cursor, voila!

This is a testament to fun products you can make overnight. (Technically this was two nights, but the point stands).

So take a photo of your favourite 90's CD, or write in a list of songs, it will automagically turns it into a Youtube playlist.

You should be able to grab any of the cities on the dial and spin them with your mouse. If that doesn't work, could you share your device details? (also if it does work, if you don't mind confirming). Thanks
Yeah, there's some learning curve, which is why we stuck it in the second mode.

They are sharing the same "time", it's just the value of the time is different around the world. The colours should help indicate what's happening in each timezone.

aha! Toggle the top left view to see it in scheduling mode.
yikes, mind throwing us a screenshot? I'm seeing 5PM on my end https://i.imgur.com/wzAS6PT.png

Show HN: Timey Wimey – Give It a Spin: A Timezone App Designed for Mobile

https://timeywimey.co

Hey Hacker News,We’re two AIs (actually Indians) who’ve created a timezone app designed for mobile.Like many of you, we have family and friends scattered across the globe and find figuring out time zones somewhat of a hassle. We built Timey Wimey, a timezone app we wished existed because managing timezones shouldn’t be frustrating on mobile.We wondered, why are all timezones represented as...

It's totally possible.

Getting good structured covid data that correctly maps to state/county geometry with corresponding IDs can be a bit challenging.

I've done USA/India and Ontario (Canada)

Crazy, is this on mobile? If you don't mind sharing your Hardware/OS/Browser details.
I was looking for town-wise data for my county and there wasn't anywhere that showed the numbers on a map. (This is still not accomplished by this map)

This started my journey of I'm-definitely-not-wasting-my-time-procrastinating-from-work project of making a COVID map.

There's a bunch of great tech that lets you display these amazing 3D maps, and nobody seems to be using it.

Here's my go at it.

The same thing that happened to stable boys, bank tellers and farmers. In 1870 53% of the labour force were farmers, by 1970 that was 4.6% (https://www.agclassroom.org/gan/timeline/farmers_land.htm). If you told someone in 1870s that 50% of the labour force will be changing their job, they would have a similar reaction.

Granted the speed with which changes are occurring now is much more rapid; if we consider the largest number of people affected in the smallest period of time, it's probably self-driving cars & trucks that will make the greatest impact.

Driving or making pizza isn't exactly high-skill work (in terms of time taken on training), hopefully the transition happens slow enough for these people to retrain for other work.

Looks like "6 Mar 2001" according to the link that goes to the article.

He recently appeared in the news for "quitting" India: http://www.livemint.com/Money/Hii5NshplbswnJpcb0cHgM/Jim-Rog...

I'm traveling in Argentina right now, and I downloaded the app before heading out. Then saw this screen: http://i.imgur.com/QvaIf0w.png while trying to use it. ... doesn't this defeat the original purpose of the app?

People seem to be thinking hard about this game.. but if you're spending 1+ second/move it'll definitely take forever.

Think about it like shaking a jar of pebbles, where the heavier ones fall to the bottom. Now simulate this by press Z->A & X->D back and forth You can get a high score pretty quick. And if you see a situation where a low number is stuck at the bottom, make specific moves to get at that one, then go back to shaking the jar!

It looks like you can upvote/downvote other's opinions. Is this being counted towards the totals? Because now you're testing how many people are willing to go through the "Supports", and upvote the ones they agree with, downvote the ones they don't
Re:Show HN: A Speed Reading Bookmarklet on Wednesday March 05, 2014 @11:16PM (#7351831)
I was going to comment to say ability to pause/rewind would be awesome. Seems like you've already done that! I also like the interaction of selecting the text you want to speed-read.

One thing that might be interesting, is a shortcut to jump to the article where the current word is. This happens when I want to glance at a paragraph above, and don't want to rewind all the way back.

Yikes! Nobody tell the author about options. It might cause their brain to explode.
Re:Apple: No Search Results for 'Wozniak' on Tuesday October 22, 2013 @05:25PM (#6595106)
It's times like these I wish HN had a downvote button. If the statement you're trying to make is that Wozniak is ignored and not given enough credit in the current Apple world, then come out and say that. Not this round about try-to-stir-some-shit bs.

It's surprising to me how many people are complaining about the lack of a Linux version. A Linux version would be great! but let's put our idealogical hats aside, and think like a business.

The intersection between their target audience, and Linux is minute! Unless it came for free, investing in a Linux version of the app would have been a terrible use of resources

I don't think this is an issue. The popup would only capture whatever keystrokes are typed into the popup (as dbaupp illustrated). DataChannels doesn't change the boundaries within which a webpage/Javascript runs
At my last startup (TheSharedWeb) we tried to do something like this, sans the natural language processing work these guys are doing [we used a manual strategy and tried to focus on the presentation]. Anyway, we never really perfected the experience, and ended up pivoting away.

These guys are doing some sort of NLP magic and it seems to work really well. If they could get reddit in the content stream, that would really encompass all the content I'm consuming
