vesterde··on Show HN: Free alternative to Wispr Flow, Superwhisper, and Monologue
Since many are asking about apps with simillar capabilities I’m very happy with MacWhisper. Has Parakeet, near instant transcription of my lengthy monologues. All local.

Edit: Ah but Parakeet I think isn’t available for free. But very worthwhile single purchase app nonetheless!

vesterde··on I think AI use is reflected in GitHub stats at least a bit
I would imagine it is, yes. That's even true of my own repos.

I saw twice recently that if everyone is so productive, where are all the new Github repos, but never bothered to check the data. Seems like the uptick is plausibly visible from Github's own data?
vesterde··on Show HN: Fuzzy Studio – Apply live effects to videos/camera
Hah this is the 3rd fun app like this I've seen lately. I really like yours!

I also built one! In mine you can compose effects using a graph, I've gotten carried away and now I keep wanting to bring more TouchDesigner concepts into it. It's far off, but so much fun! The best feedback on these kinds of apps is if you put it in camera mode and on a TV, and let a kid dance around in front of it.

I hope you don't mind if I steal some of you nice ideas for myself :)

vesterde··on After nine years of grinding, Replit found its market. Can it keep it?
Oh you brought back fond memories of using the very first education product Replit had. It was so good. I was teaching GCSE CS and having a blast giving kids python with turtle to play with. I would just give them some multicoloured octagon and more complex shape, and they had to draw it with turtle.

They enjoyed it, I enjoyed it, and the teacher UX was great.

I have this toy I’ve enjoyed building immensely, for composing video effects.

Try to put `sys.path.insert(0, os.getcwd())` after `import sys` in dream.py.

That fixed it for me.
