#283Been working on something that I use daily, and decided I wanted to see what kind of other ideas I could get out of it, it's very basic article to speech using piper models at the moment.
The part I cared about was being able to send links via one click in my browser or two taps on my phone as I want to read every HN article who's title I find interesting, but don't have the time to read right at that moment.
It then at the moment publishes it to an RSS feed so I subscribe to it in Podcast Addict, but I've also just been using the web app as my reading list and tracker.
Been playing around with different settings on the piper models and different techniques for getting the most out of my four dollar instance:

Up next is to work on making the voice better (I'm impressed with the out of the box stuff already), and then making it better at finding the real content on a page and only recording that. It's a problem space I don't know much about, but find fascinating, been fun so far.

#284Earlier today? My partner and I felled a couple of trees and bucked them into firewood to clear a spot on drier ground for our chicken coop, which had sunk halfway to China because we unknowingly landed it in a soup bowl three years ago when we moved in the winter when the ground was frozen. Also set and leveled four piers in the new spot for it to sit on. Then slid it a few hundred feet across the lawn on composite…
Woah woah woah slow down, what kind of beer it was?

#285I'm building inspection software for various industries that are stuck with terrible pre-2010 software, or just pen and paper. Using AI where it makes sense, but not forcing it on users. Already have 5 users trialing the software, they're helping shape the product.
Very fun project, launching this week publicly in the app store.

#286Trying to figure out how to get a job in this market for someone with sub 3 YoE in the industry :/ It's hard out there for juniors, y'all. I'm working at a company that I thought I could stay for years in, but my CTO left and now I'm shafted with basically all of their responsibilities - I'm not overly perturbed by this, as it's well within my ability, but I would much rather spend the next few years as an IC and really develop my skills as a SWE rather than jumping to manager this early... Also just getting an interview is insanely hard nowadays for some reason!

For the past 4 years I've been building a programming language reimagined specifically for games. It has automatic multiplayer, but also things like state, components, concurrent behaviours and reactive user interfaces baked into the language.

We use AI to monitor hundreds of local government commissions and give real-time intelligence to B2B, residents, and governments. If you're a business trying to track what's happening in local gov for your policy, sales, or lobbying team, I'd love to chat.
