I'm a cohost of The Technium podcast. Please check us out! It's a weekly podcast discussing the edge of technology and what we can build with it. Each week, my cohost Wil ( https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=iamwil ) and I introduce a big idea in the future of computing and extrapolate the effect it will have on the world. Wil and I started this show because we found that most tech podcasts were focused on career d…

I hope this counts as original content I created...

A daily whimsical rhyming word game that uses generative AI. We’ve got a pretty dedicated base of users by this point through other channels but it’s never really taken off on HN. A great case for generative AI augmenting rather than replacing human creativity IMO :)

Posted a game here I made a few months back: https://reach-100.com It’s pretty hard. Some people have found solutions but even knowing how to solve it, it remains pretty hard to complete. Hope you’ll enjoy it a second time :)

This is cool! I got 70 on my first try. Are there any strategies that you recommend? With 2048, once you grok the strategy, the game becomes easy. Is this the same?

Pivotuner[0]: automatic real-time pure intonation and microtonal modulation This is an audio plugin which I've been working on over the past couple years, I've gotten input from some pretty high-profile artists like Jacob Collier! Finally released it publicly late last year. Pivotuner is a plugin which tunes MIDI data in pure intonation in real time. Besides enabling beautiful purely-tuned chords on keyboards, this a…

I listened to the Bach demo and it’s interesting that I can actually hear the “bends”. I find the sound pleasant after I the sound has stabilized and I forget about the bend, but for those few milliseconds when the bend happens, it sounds like it introduces a very small dissonance. Not sure if it’s just because I’m so used to hearing Just Intonation all the time, I’m curious if other have the same experience. Great p…

Yeah, the bending itself being audible can be a bit jarring, I'm planning to add the option to interpolate the bends slowly, so hopefully that will help. Thank you for the interest!

https://flipcoords.com/ The web tool will switch the position of latitude and longitude in text. It's a common issue in GIS industry as there's no agreement which order is the correct one (and tools/software want one or the other). The initial Show HN dicussion derailed into which order is the correct one, second-guessing why the tool could be any useful to anybody and it went downhill (well, flagged) from there.

Not sure it's working. I keep hitting the flip button but nothing is happening.

do you have js enabled?

Two web apps: https://triviarex.com/ - A combination of trivia and find the word in the maze that you can play in real time and compete with your friends https://www.trueduedate.com/ - Use millions of historical births to better estimate when your baby will actually be born.

True Due Date is great, thank you for making it! My wife is pregnant and, because the nearest maternity unit is 1hr45mins drive away, we're going to rent a place near it around the due date. This just gave me a confidence boost about what dates to be there. Thank you!

Thanks for the feedback!

Best wishes for a healthy pregnancy and delivery for mom and baby!

I wrote a book called “Eating Glass” about the grueling emotional and psychological experience of presiding over a prolonged startup failure, coping with the aftermath, and finding my way back to health and growth. I wrote the book I wished I’d had available to me, as I believe these experiences are common among entrepreneurs and high achievers. My “Show HN” was immediately lost downstream but I have given out free d…

Awesome! Will buy it! PS: also because your book supports whisperSync! I’m not buying any eBooks without that feature anymore.

Doesn't that lock you into Amazon's DRM? It did in 2010: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=81945

https://looptube.xyz A tool primarily for musicians to set repeating loops in YouTube videos and slow it down so they can practice and learn music by ear. They can then shift the loop forward/backward keeping the same loop interval to move around bars or phrases.

I love this. Small suggestion: you should mention that pasting URLs works, too. I was getting mildly annoyed thinking that I had to extract the video ID, but turns out I don't - just pasting a URL works.
