I'm trying CM108AH with external ADC (for lower mic noise). I'm at the stage that I opened datasheets for both and started kicad.

#482Been working on a solution to my meeting fatigue. I sit in way too many of them where I'm only there "just in case someone has a question" and realized I needed a way to safely not care about my meetings.
The idea is: you join a meeting, hit start on the app, minimize, and go do actual work (or go make a coffee). When someone says your name or any keyword(s) you set, you get a native macOS notification with enough context to jump back in without looking lost. It uses whisper and is 100% local and doesnt leave traces, also very OE friendly.
Would love to hear what you think, especially if you're drowning in meetings too.

#483https://telephone.health, which shows how well LLMs can take narrative medical text, convert it to a structured form (FHIR R4, for application consumption), and then convert it back to narrative text for human consumption.
Interesting findings include Mistral doing better than Gemini 3 Pro in certain usescases, cross-LLM works better than one LLM to another, oh and - the cost all of of this. So, so expensive.

#484ChatShell ( https://github.com/chatshellapp/chatshell-desktop ) — open-source desktop AI agent built with Tauri 2 + Rust. Ships with 9 built-in tools (web search, bash, file read/write, grep, etc.) so the AI can take real actions from the first conversation. No plugins, no config. Supports 40+ providers, MCP with OAuth, and a skills system. Apache 2.0. Today working on adding chat history search (FTS5) and OpenRouter…
Been using ChatShell as my daily driver for non-dev tasks — research, writing, file management, web lookups. The features I rely on most are well tested through dogfooding.

#485My wife and I continue to work on Uruky, a EU-based Kagi alternative [1]. Since last month we got deals with a couple more search providers but we’re still waiting for EUSP/STAAN to provide us with an API key (we have progressed through a few more forms and signatures and legal stuff, though).
We’ve continued to get some paid customers and have exited beta last week, given everyone seemed to be quite satisfied and there hadn't been requests for changes, only some specific search providers.
Because of bots there isn’t a free trial easily available, but if you’re a human and you’d like to try it for a couple of days for free, reach out with your account number and we’ll set that up!
Thanks.
P.S.: Because people have asked before, our tech stack is intentionally very "boring" (as in, it generates and serves the HTML + bits of JS to enhance settings and such — search can be done without JS), using Deno in the backend (for easier TypeScript), PostgreSQL for the DB, and Docker for easier deploying.

How is this different than @‘ing someone in the chat apps we all already use, and that you’ll actually be responding to the ping in?

#488An immobiliser for my car. Had trouble finding devices that would cover the specific attack vectors my car would be susceptible to. Checked my insurance, no specific clauses around immobilisers, check relevant road laws, no issues there.
I have a fairly novel approach to operating it, and in the case of one time theft prevention security through obscurity is actually a great approach. The assailant only has a short time to pull the car apart and solve the puzzle, couple that with genuine security techniques, a physical aspect, and it should be pretty foolproof.
It can still be towed away, etc, not much to be done there except brute force physical blocks. Most cars get stolen here to do crime in that night so it's not as common.

#489Building a boring POS (1) using various AI tools just to check what can I do with these tools. I have used claude, gemini and now using antigravity. I have not done a single edit manually.
I got it all done in probably an hour or two. But done in 10-15 min blocks over many days.
