gppk··on Tl;dv: Over 180k meetings left wide open
OK ill rise.

It's not about the meeting, its about the work after the meeting.

This tool creates a list of reviewable actions, and has API access to github and project management tools so i can tag the owners and submit them direct.

It also creates comprehensive, well versed minutes, in a historically logged list.

How many of your meetings you pay attention to do you actually get all that output, that you can share and push back to your team?

gppk··on Tl;dv: Over 180k meetings left wide open
Heh, interesting. I literally just vibe-coded an app tonight that takes a meeting recording, runs it through whisper to generate the text, then through your local codex gives you a summary and creates actions that are pushable to either github (technical) or PM tool (project level)

Takes about 7 minutes for a 2 hour meeting on my 3080 GPU so well within useful timeframe.

I did it because i didn't want to pay £7 a month for a discord meeting notes taker, but seems generally useful. And ofc you could swap out for a local model if you have more compute than i do...

gppk··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (August 2026)
How do you get your users? This seems like a great little "useful tool" type app, but i always wonder how they get tractions..

gppk··on Ask HN: In the event of an apocalypse, how long until we could produce CPUs?
Explored on this amazing blog series - https://blog.robertelder.org/how-to-make-a-cpu/
gppk··on Adding capacity to the electricity grid is not a simple task
There's a good 3 part series from Guy Martin on Channel4 recently. Would watch far more hours and depth of this content though.

gppk··on New Sony Walkman music player
My wife has decades of music downloaded from CDs etc. It's just the music she likes, no ads/distractions/faffing about with networks etc. For her commute it works great to have just an MP3 player.

She doesn't want to listen to other music, she likes what she knows, so the benefit of recommendations etc aren't of interest either.

Just one data point for your question :)

gppk··on I Taught ChatGPT to Invent a Language
I Ctrl+v the first few questions:

Hi GPT! Today we're going to be creating our own language. Do not improvise unless I explicitly tell you to improvise, and remember all of the vocabulary and grammar that we define together. Are you ready?

Yes, I'm ready! Let's get started creating our own language. What would you like to do first? Graham Kitteridge Okay. I think this language will be spoken by slime beings. let's name the language Glorp.

All right. So the language we're creating is called Glorp and it will be spoken by slime beings. Got it. What kind of grammar rules should Glorp have? Graham Kitteridge First, let's pick ten common nouns. Pick ten common English nouns, and provide translations of them in Glorp

Sure! Here are ten common English nouns and their translations in Glorp:

    "house" = "gluz"
    "table" = "sliz"
    "book" = "flurp"
    "car" = "slim"
    "dog" = "dlorp"
    "cat" = "mlem"
    "food" = "glib"
    "drink" = "slurp"
    "tree" = "swomp"
    "flower" = "slurk"
These are just suggestions, of course. You can use any words you like for these nouns in Glorp. Let me know if you have any changes or additions.

(Then i got timed out)

gppk··on LinkedIn is building a gig marketplace
On a global marketplace? $100/hour is a ridiculously good rate for a large % of workers. Maybe not in SF or Tech Hubs but for a graphics designer in India, or Eastern Europe?
gppk··on Ask HN: How/Where do you store/backup your photos safely?
Amazon Photos. If you have prime membership then its unlimited storage.

I just dump everything in and forget about them as "another" backup.

gppk··on [dead]
I work with linux kernel and boot stuff a lot at the moment. That page doesn't tell me at a glance, someone with technical knowhow, what the actual problem is.

If i have to dive into a bunch of mailing list tickets to find out, that isn't very well described.

I'd still be interested in the actual summary of the issue if anyone has it.

gppk··on How satellite ‘megaconstellations’ will photobomb astronomy images

gppk··on Ask HN: Do you curate links/bookmarks?

gppk··on Ask HN: Do you ever contact people who have had a positive impact on you?
I recently subscribed to a Patreon for a Youtuber that I watch, and sent them a message through the platform basically thanking them for making the comment.

This was the first time I've also become a Pateron for somebody, but I really felt like I wanted to give back/support their content.

They did respond with a nice message too so it seemed that it actually reached them.

gppk··on Ice-T says he almost shot an Amazon delivery driver 'creeping up to my crib'
What's the problem here? If a drone is flying around you're not exactly allowed to interfere with it anyway?

If it's a drone that crashes or causes an issue, then presumably the Amazon drones will be tracked/registered and hobbyists wil llikely have to be conforming to their local laws wrt registration

gppk··on The struggles of an open source maintainer
I agree with a lot of these.

One thing i've noticed in life is that our use of aschynchronous communication methods is much more in a "respond now" fashion.

Also as a contributor to StackOverflow your point about asking questions with the right amount of information is really spot on.
