What is the url of the MeetingTranscribe tool? Google is giving me generic results.

Appreciate the response! I'll be eagerly following Hister's progress. For now, I've settled on a mix of Instapaper and using SingleFile uploads to Dropbox.

Hi asciimoo, seems like this is the second time Hister is hitting the HN front page in a month, so congrats on the success!

Question for you: For the less tech savvy of us on here, is there any chance Hister can be can hosted on something like Pikapods? https://www.pikapods.com/

Just a heads up, you can have dark mode on every website on iOS Safari with Dark Reader: https://darkreader.org/

Does summer holidays only apply to Europeans? I think most Americans are still largely in office for August

I think Ortho-K is meant for kids as a preventative solution. It would be too late for us adults.

I also have never actually met someone who has used it.

Is this good for Kagi?

Kind of, but not really, the ublock origin app doesn't work on Orion. I tried both Kagi + uBlock versus Brave and their built-in ad-block and Brave had a much better performance.

Putin can and has bought soldiers (Wagner Group and North Koreans).

For those out of the loop, can you please explain your comment?

Yup, abandoned 5 years ago judging by the Github page.

Cool tool! Are you guys releasing Hyprnote for Windows this month?

I tried it with a Russian YT video and it did not work:

Starting process... Processing URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtkgT6R2HtA Error: Failed to get transcript: Could not retrieve a transcript for the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtkgT6R2HtA! This is most likely caused by:

No transcripts were found for any of the requested language codes: ['en']

For this video (MtkgT6R2HtA) transcripts are available in the following languages:

(MANUALLY CREATED) None

(GENERATED) - ru ("Russian (auto-generated)")[TRANSLATABLE]

(TRANSLATION LANGUAGES) - en ("English")

If you are sure that the described cause is not responsible for this error and that a transcript should be retrievable, please create an issue at https://github.com/jdepoix/youtube-transcript-api/issues. Please add which version of youtube_transcript_api you are using and provide the information needed to replicate the error. Also make sure that there are no open issues which already describe your problem! --- End of summary ---

The Stanford Research into the Impact of Tobacco Advertising (SRITA; https://tobacco.stanford.edu/) collection currently contains 62,553 tobacco advertisements.

"A team of Spanish scientists made a striking announcement 15 years ago: they were seeking thousands of volunteers among the employees of Banco Santander in Madrid: researchers wanted to study them in depth for decades, in order to understand the onset of cardiovascular disease in healthy people."

Is there a project like this one can join in the US? I've always wanted to contribute to a biomedical study.

One just got approved in January 2025, called suzetrigine or Journavx.

Now this is a practical use of AI, kudos!

It used the Shortcuts app to essentially be a middle man between you and the distraction. So everyone I open Safari, it triggers the other app (the 5 second timer), then redirects me back to safari.

Is this any better than AdGuard?

I’ve heard it’s best to avoid running both but unsure whether this version of uBlock is worth it.

Yes, I've generated an audiobook of a epub using this tool and the result was passable: https://github.com/santinic/audiblez

Correct, this is the same treatment.

However, it has reached very few of the 100,000 sickle cell patients in the US.

It doesn't look great.

Great article.

I think it may be the first time I saw Kagi mentioned in a major publication.

Kagi does the same thing

Agreed. I’ve replaced my flights with Amtrak and am better for it. It’s cheaper and less stressful.

It'd easier to use Kagi's domain blocker.

Here is a more nuanced, less preachy story of Zoraya ter Beek:

Trying out the app on Firefox gets me this error:

NotSupportedError:

AudioContext.createMediaStreamSource:

Connecting AudioNodes from AudioContexts with different sample-rate is currently not supported.

I would add that this really needs to be a native app with ability to use it within Microsoft Word, which itself has a decent voice to text tool built in.
