#682I’m working on Karl [ https://www.veloursdevices.com ], a MIDI controller. It’s quite unique because it features 32 encoders over a display, which allows you to have a fully customizable interface—like a touchscreen, but with actual knobs you can touch. I have a software engineering background, and I’ve been working on this for nearly 3 years now! I used to play with the Electra One controller before, but having the…
Wow! Never seen "encoders over a display" before. This could be revolutionary in so many different scenarios beyond MIDI controllers. First scenario that comes to mind are car user interfaces. Mixing screens with physical controllers is such an innovative idea. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks a lot!
Yes, the first idea that came to mind (after music/light controllers) was indeed car user interfaces.
Maybe some cool interfaces for home automation too, and I can also imagine controllers for factories or workshops—pretty much anywhere with lots of parameters to control.
But really, if you have other scenarios in mind, please share, I’m very interested, as you can imagine ;)

#683I'm working on Logchef: https://github.com/mr-karan/logchef It's an open-source (AGPLv3), purpose-built log analytics UI specifically for ClickHouse. I've been using ClickHouse for logs and love its power, but found the existing UIs either too heavy, too focused on ingestion (which we already have covered with tools like Vector/Promtail/Fluentbit/Logstash etc), or not ClickHouse-native enough. Logchef aims to be a li…

Edit: ok, I see you have edited your comment

#687I am currently working on thethoughtcatcher.com It started as a side project to explore the latest AI trends. Now it’s something we use daily — and others are starting to as well. Thoughtcatcher is a lightweight, AI-powered notes + reminders app that acts like a memory companion. It helps you: - Capture raw thoughts and auto-tag them using AI - Set smart reminders triggered by context and meaning - This was a game ch…

A relatively "simple" approach (augmented associative memory) gives very good results, check for example the good old "Remembrance Agent", and it may complement a LLM(?)

#688We're building a service to generate consistent AI personas, and create any media you need with them, photos, videos, tryons, product photos, etc.
- Works by selecting traits, which then trains a model(flux) OR uploading your own photos.
- Hopefully useful for shopify/ecomm store owners, digital agencies, or just about anyone to drastically speed up the time and reduce the cost to test creatives, create media content, or just do what you want with a model of yourself.
- Web with Nextjs, DB with Supabase, marketing with nothing.
- Happy to share more details into how we built this, and hear feedback and thoughts.

#689https://www.saintbeluga.org/ I was a YC founder in 2006 and still do software engineering and data science full-time, but on the side I also do Christian apologetics, helping fellow engineers/scientists/mathematicians seek answers to life's deepest questions. Some cool articles for the HN crowd: - My interview of Evan O'Dorney, a three-time Putnam Fellow and two-time IMO gold medalist, who converted to Catholic Chris…
All conspiracies's enemy is logistics. And yet for these eucharist miracles, the logistics are simple. They all have a clear and obvious point where foul play could be inserted, where the complicit number of people can be brought down to just 1. You may not like this explanation, but it's one people will rightly use to counter it. 'Why would people lie' is a pointless exercise. They would. Each person has a different…
You're correct that we can't prove the chain of custody for the Eucharistic miracles - this is discussed at the bottom of the article.
In general, there's no airtight "proof" for any miracle, and the best way to determine whether Christianity is true is to live the faith and see what happens. I wrote an article about this:
