Got it now, thanks for explaining it to me.

I checked the SET game and isn't https://eli.thegreenplace.net/2026/monte-carlo-simulations/#... wrong? "all different (...) for each attribute separately" and solution from the footnote names items with all 3 shapes
btw, there's a dedicated plugin for similar setup https://github.com/openai/codex-plugin-cc
nice, are you using webrtc aec3 or sth custom?

to your question i did a thorough benchmarking (hence late reply) used 18gb m3 pro macpro

full on-device with gemma 4 e2b is ~1.5s since last utterance. vad silence th is set to 600ms

now, when I connect local hermes agent that uses deepseek v4 flash via their api, latency jumps to 3.5s (this of course includes 600s of silence to even trigger pipeline)

btw, suggestions are throttled to one every 20s by default, it's configurable from the app

afaik cluely is waaaaay over 5s, but it makes sense because their users need lots of ai reasoning to answer interview qs :D different target audience then stagewhisper

feel free to ask me questions here or reach out via "hello at stagewhisper.io"

Show HN: BYO AI free notetaking with optional screen reading for OpenClaw/hermes

https://stagewhisper.io/lite

I've built fully on-device (macOS) meeting transcription/summaries/action-items app. It uses parakeet and gemma 4 or OpenClaw or Hermes Agent to drive main functionalities. It's free, requires no account or email, and is source available. You can also natively connect your own local/VPS OpenClaw or Hermes to use them, their memory and context, as a notetaker.About me: my name is Piotr. I'm...

it's such a misinformed statement, as kimi2.5 was used as a base model for composer 2 and then heavily RLed
Re:Is anyone actually using OpenClaw? on Thursday April 16, 2026 @11:10AM (#47794351)
I've setup one on Hetzner. I got it a dedicated email account (via agentmail.to). Installed couple of skills, last30days and context-mode being the most useful so far (https://github.com/mvanhorn/last30days-skill and https://github.com/mksglu/context-mode).

The biggest unlock was wiring it up to my agency's whatsapp group - it's now basically a multiplayer chatgpt. Not a "personal" assistant, but more of agency's assistant. It can send ad hoc mails to our clients when asked, but also tells jokes when atmosphere is tense.

Each day it checks it's own inbox and once a week it sends me a kind of social listening report, but those are kind of workflows easily reproducible elsewhere.

I'm actually so bullish on the potential of openclaw kind of software I've built a desktop app for it, stagewhisper.io.

It's like a Granola for your OpenClaw. It listens to your system audio, records your screen (all data stays on your computer) and asks your assistant for suggestions or creates a tasks. Example: client asks for referrals during a call, StageWhisper.io picks it up and asks OpenClaw to send email with case studies.

It's absurdly fun to use, mainly because the delay between when the task pops up and the work starts is approaching zero.

Wouldn’t it make perfect sense to wrap this in a Claude Skill instead of distributing as a separate package?

still hosted on private GH: https://github.com/PiotrAleksander/open-notebook-mcp We will probably soon merge it to the main repo

Re:Show HN: Turn YC Safe Docs into React/MDX App on Tuesday August 26, 2025 @12:46PM (#45029065)

I thought I hack around. App consists of:

- users write Markdown, LLM turns it into interactive MDX post

- MDX with generated widgets is rendered in e2b sandbox

- generation & publishing (sanitization, etc) pipelines run on Inngest (their docs won me over Temporal)

Would it make sense to go mobile first and focus on ‘interactive micro-blogging’ (Twitter with widgets)?

I’m building a publishing stack for “vibe blogging”, think Bolt.new x Substack. It consists of:

Authoring - users write Markdown, LLM turns it into interactive MDX post

Sandboxing - MDX with generated widgets is rendered in e2b sandbox

Pipelines - generation & publishing (sanitization, etc) pipelines run on Inngest (their docs won me over Temporal)

Distribution - via subdomain/paid custom domain. Stripped version of the post for repurpose as a newsletter (Inngest Workflows)

I’d love feedback on:

1. Does it make sense to go mobile first and focus on ‘interactive micro-blogging’ (Twitter with widgets)?

2. I consider launching in price sensitive, but creator-rich markets like India, Brazil and Mexico to build momentum. Anybody has experience with that?

All thoughts welcome!

I wasn't aware of DBOS back then, only now had time to check it out. Actually love the idea of keeping everything in Postgres.

One thing that would hold me back from migrating is https://www.inngest.com/docs/guides/user-defined-workflows - thanks to which my users could quickly add automations (like sending newsletter announcing new blogpost)
