The goal is to take a source video, generate translated speech in a consistent voice, and keep timing close enough that it feels natural. I'm planning to open source parts of it in 2026.
If you do localization / run a YouTube channel / ship training videos, I’d love feedback on where current AI dubbing fails most! Not only on my service, but others as well.
Spent about 2 years improving printing and scanning stack of Linux: CUPS, SANE, AirSane, as well as some legacy drivers, and also x86 proprietary driver emulation on ARM with Box86. Even that "modern" printing stack in Linux is 20+ years old, there's still such an unbelievable amount of basic bugs and low-hanging-fruit optimizations, that it's kinda sad. Not to mention that it still maintains ALL its legacy compatibi…
This is awesome, thank you for doing this work; it’s not glamorous but it’s a key feature to making computers productive. I know it’s not a popular opinion here but I think that Windows has two killer features that are always overlooked- the standard print dialog (and all the underlying plumbing), and the standard file dialog (at least until Windows 8). The ability to print and to interact with files, that just works…
I'm working on Tech Posts ( https://techposts.eu ), a Hacker News for Europe! Since the last time I posted on HN it's gained a decent amount of traffic and users. I'm particularly happy with the jobs section, which is growing into a high signal-noise source for European tech jobs: https://techposts.eu/jobs The reason I started this website is because so much incredible innovation and growth in Europe flies under the…
Any plans for a simple way to search for posts?
Also, this Christmas I took a rest on Pulso, and I developed a small app to monitor the version & Support Lifecycle of large dependencies. https://stacktodate.club
So I added a weekly poll. I pick a stock, show some key facts, and let people vote and discuss whether it’s overvalued or a hidden gem. Takes a few minutes, usually learn something.
Aged Care Mate https://AgedCareMate.com.au It’s a modern way to navigate and find home care providers in Australia. We built it after working in the industry and seeing families struggle a lot with navigating the complex aged care system (at a time in their lives which is already very stressful). It’s very early days but it has been very enjoyable to think back on all the issues and pain points we saw in our careers…
I got tired of seeing people lose their accounts to "unfollower" apps that require login credentials and use unofficial APIs. Instead, I built this to parse official Instagram GDPR data exports 100% client-side in the browser.
It’s a Vue 3 + TypeScript SPA. There is no backend; all the ZIP extraction and JSON parsing happen locally so the user’s data never leaves their machine. I even added a "Security Audit" feature to help people find suspicious login activity in their own data.
My biggest challenge right now is the UX friction. To stay safe, the user has to navigate an 11-step manual export process on Instagram to get their data. I’m trying to figure out if the "privacy/safety" benefit is enough to convince non-technical users to jump through those hoops.
The problem that I am repeatedly facing is that I am trying to build a home server and I keep asking chatgpt questions, but it is hard to keep all the little details in one place. The way I see it is that I can just text my assistant bot and ask it something like "hey, can you research which NAS setup would be the best for me given x and y". It will offer some setup and I would say "can you add it to the plan" and "can you plan the next steps for me?". The bot will also update the knowledgebase and version control it.
You might also want to use it for something like planning a trip to Paris, where at some point you might say "hey, given my schedule, can you squeeze a tour to top5 croissant places in the center of Paris".
The whole thing sound really vague and sounds like something solved long ago, but I cannot find solutions that will be guaranteed to stick to a very precise plan that I can review at any given moment. If you happened to know existing solutions, please let me know. I really don't want to build this thing.
