perelin··on Show HN: Reladraw – A diagram language where you decide where to place things
Just gave it a spin. Really like it. Adds a lot of visual clarity. Margins matter :) Thx!
perelin··on Doing Everyone Else's Job
If they "dedicate every waking moment to the job" they will outpace you anyway. So either join the race or live a balanced life. Choices.
perelin··on Doing Everyone Else's Job
I do enjoy learning new things and having a generalist approach. But its not for everyone.
perelin··on Doing Everyone Else's Job
Only if you add the hours for free and dont punch out when you should.
perelin··on Show HN: Yap – OSS on-device voice dictation for macOS with no model to download
Big fan of Handy as well. I often mix languages (german/english) and Apple onboard dictation is not working well in these cases. Having the ability to switch models so far has proven to be helpful. I guess Handy should implement the new native Apple APIs though.
perelin··on Hetzner is working on LLM Inference
Whats definitely missing: a solid (non Mistral) GDPR compliant coding plan / subscription. All offerings are either US or China based. With the newest open weights models this became really interesting imo.
perelin··on Czechia moves to ban mobile phones in schools from September 2027
German here. Have a kid in elementary school and one in middle school. No phones allowed whatsoever. But to be fair: every school in Germany can decide that for themselves. But when we were choosing schools, all schools had similar rulesets. Some event prohibited smart watches.
perelin··on Show HN: A lightweight way to make agents talk without paying for API usage
Any personal experience with it? Recommended?
perelin··on Show HN: Ghost Pepper – Local hold-to-talk speech-to-text for macOS
I recently attended a agentic SWE workshop and the starter project was this, whispr style, local voice dictation app. Took everybody around 30mins. tbh: i was kinda impressed.
perelin··on Show HN: Ghost Pepper – Local hold-to-talk speech-to-text for macOS
Agree. Slept on.

Wish they would do an ios version, but the creator already kind of dismissed it.

perelin··on Claude-Mem
A Claude Code plugin that automatically captures everything Claude does during your coding sessions, compresses it with AI (using Claude's agent-sdk), and injects relevant context back into future sessions.
perelin··on Gram: A Zed fork without AI Slop
Just tried it. Works. Very nice! Would be interesting to know what is still left that Gram removes...
perelin··on Show HN: I built a sub-500ms latency voice agent from scratch
Great writeup! For VAD did you use heaphone/mic combo, or an open mic? If open, how did you deal with the agent interupting itself?
perelin··on Claude Sonnet 4.6
Mirrors my experience as well. Especially the pro-activeness in tool calling sticks out. It goes web searching to augment knowledge gaps on its own way more often.
perelin··on We asked 15k European devs about jobs, salaries, and AI [pdf]
Dont bother, that was a borderline right-wing comment. Dont need to guess which political party the fella is voting for.
perelin··on There may not be a safe off-ramp for some taking GLP-1 drugs, study suggests
100% agree. But that also feels like the elephant in the room somehow. Most western pension systems are stretched to (or beyond) their limits already. I expect that having GLP1-s widely available will extend the life of a LOT of people even further. And then ... what? Im really surprised that nobody talks about that.
perelin··on There may not be a safe off-ramp for some taking GLP-1 drugs, study suggests
As a GLP-1 user im really surprised that this is newsworthy. The mechanism of how these drugs lead to weight loss is appetite reduction. On GLP-1s -> less appetite, off GLPS-1s -> more appetite. Given the general health benefits that are being observed with GLP1-s the only reason to get off them is costs imo. They are absurdly expensive. Hope this will change in the next 10 years with patents running out and generics being available for cheap. The actual cost of production seem to be quite low. Gray/black market has them available for around a tenth of the otc price.
perelin··on Show HN: I built a synth for my daughter
Love my Datos (also own the drum now)! My kids are jamming with them regularly. Only issue: my youngest LOVES the "Crush" button and just holds it the whole time. Not easy for noise sensitive parents :)
perelin··on Denmark wants to push through Chat Control
Tor on mobile devices (at least iOS, Android) is not recommended anyway. Guess true Linux phones might finally see their hour.
perelin··on Pirate library operator arrested, study canceled for 330k members
but how was he found out? did telegram cooperate with korean law enforcement?
perelin··on Show HN: Sourcebot – Self-hosted Perplexity for your codebase
Just recently discovered Devins DeepWikis and love them. Same idea, talk to your repo, right? What does Sourcebot doe differently / better? https://deepwiki.org/
perelin··on My Self-Hosting Setup
Outside of the stated requirements because its not fully open source, but https://www.cloudron.io/ made all my self hosting pains go away.
perelin··on Show HN: Chat with 19 years of HN
Really love this! Will the dataset be updated with new content in the future?
perelin··on AI fakers exposed in tech dev recruitment
So, what would have happened if they hired him? Would he have his AI mask on in all future calls. Clearly this would not be sustainable, or? Im confused.
perelin··on BYD's electric supercar jumps over potholes and spikes
No reason to be snarky. You did not provide any information on the matter beyond 'because I say so'.
perelin··on Comic Mono
My daily driver for the last year or so. But it really is an acquired taste. Some colleagues love it and now use it as well, some hate looking at it and comment on it every time I share my screen.
perelin··on The Podcast Index
I recently also wanted to play around with some itunes podcast data. But it seemed Apple removed the scrapable catalogue index of their podcast library. How did you build up your database, if i may ask?
perelin··on Ask HN: Apple defacto removed open access to their Podcast index. What now?
Thanks for the link. This illustrates my concern pretty well. Instead of having one highly relevant index we now have a multitude of smaller services that hold information about the podcast universe. And afaik they dont confederate in any way. So one would need to query all of them...
perelin··on A web version of Anthropic's prompt engineering interactive tutorial
These guys came up a with a "preprompt" for ChatGPT that does a decent job in refining your initial prompt and asking questions for clarification. Seems they mix some of the best practices like chain of thought, etc.

perelin··on Show HN: PodBear – A Podcast Search Engine
Thanks! Already looking into it.
