Show HN: Connecting Captions Local Private AI Interpreter

Hi HN, I built Connecting Captions, a live captioning and translation overlay for macOS that runs entirely on-device. Nothing goes over the network: no API calls, no audio leaving your machine, and it keeps working offline. I wanted live translation I could use in meetings and conversations without worrying about connectivity, latency spikes, or sending sensitive audio to a third party. The technically interesting part is a low-latency, self-correcting pipeline for speech-to-text and translation...

Show HN: Risphai – picks the AI model, tools and prompt for each request

I noticed that a lot of non-technical people don’t use AI to its full extent. Like they use the wrong model for the task, the wrong reasoning effort, or vague prompts. That gap between "what the AI can do" and "what people actually get" is what I wanted to fix. So I spent the last two years in my spare time building a consumer AI product that tries to fix this issue. This is how it works: When it receives the request, an LLM decides the task type (chat, reasoning, coding, writing) and the tool c...

Ask HN: Why people keep posting AI-generated projects around the Internet?

Programming-related subreddits and other media platforms are current flooded by the waterfall of AI-generated projects. A typical post contains a problem description and the link to GitHub repo created just recently with sustainable amount of generated code in it. With the invite to review it, and to give a community feedback. The quality of the projects vary, but very often these are codebases generated in a few days solely by the AI-agentic systems with little to no human review and prior hist...

tanstack-fetch 1.7.1 Is Out: Timeouts, URL Params, Binary Bodies, and HTTP Errors

I've released tanstack-fetch 1.7.1 , a bug-fix release focused on the core HTTP request path. No new APIs in this version—just fixes for edge cases that can cause confusing behavior in real applications. npm install tanstack-fetch@1.7.1 What's Changed? 1. URL parameters are matched more precisely Colons in URLs such as http://localhost:8080 and query values such as ?t=10:30 are no longer mistaken for path parameters. Only the pathname is scan...

One graphics kit, eleven bikes: storing dirt bike fitment as data

When I started building a graphics kit designer for dirt bikes, I assumed every bike needed its own kit. It doesn't. Manufacturers reuse plastics across years and engine sizes, so a kit cut for one bike often lines up on several others. The 2023 Yamaha YZ450F kit, for example, also fits the YZ450FX, the YZ250F and the YZ250FX across 2024 to 2026. That is eleven model and year combinations from one set of panel shapes. So the useful unit of data is a reference bike plus the list of everything ...

Building a Secure LLM Proxy with Fine-Tuned Gemma 3 for Production Applications

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 2: Side Hustle What I Built Over the past year, many freelance developers, small agencies, and independent builders have integrated LLM capabilities into their client work. Whether creating customer intake assistants, contract summarizers, or invoice extractors, clients increasingly expect AI-driven workflows. However, deploying generative models in client-facing environments introduces several practic...

If AI Can Write the Code, What Should the Rest of Us Learn Next to keep up? And Can We Keep Up?

AI is getting better at writing code every month. I asked people in tech, on Reddit and in my own network, what comes next. Say you've just been hired by two clients in the same week. The first is a yoga studio. The second is a clinic. Both want an app. You have an AI assistant, so you describe the studio's app: class booking, passes, a calendar. Twenty minutes later it works. Then the clinic's: a chart that shows a patient's lab results over time. Another twenty minutes, and that works...

ACH Return Codes Explained: R01–R85 and How to Handle Them in Production

ACH Return Codes Explained: R01–R85 and How to Handle Them in Production ACH Return Codes Explained: R01–R85 and How to Handle Them in Production When an ACH debit or credit fails, the originating bank receives a return code—a two-character alphanumeric defined by Nacha (the National Automated Clearing House Association). As a developer building payment infrastructure, you need to decode these codes quickly and route the failure appropriately. A mishandled return can orphan a pay...

Nintendo 3DS in a Browser: Two Days of AI-Assisted Porting, Then the Hard Parts

Cover: AI-generated concept illustration of a hypothetical foldable phone, not a photograph of existing hardware or a screenshot of the emulator. It started with the idea of a dual-screen iPhone. That form factor seems almost made for Nintendo DS and 3DS games: the main display above, the touchscreen below. But before thinking about a finished app, I wanted to answer a smaller question: could a 3DS emulator run on an iPhone at a useful speed? For this experiment, I couldn't rely on giv...

I priced my own dead code and got a $775 bill Every developer has a graveyard. Mine was 35 files and 2,317 lines, and I couldn't have told you what half of it did. So I built GhostCode, a dead-code analyzer that reads your AST instead of guessing from text, and the first repo I ran it on was my own. Here is what I built, how it works, and what the numbers said. Dead code is a P&L line item, not a vibe Dead code doesn't just sit there. Someone reads it during onboarding...

What We Learned Letting Claude and ChatGPT Edit Live Websites Over MCP

We run Keepp, a link in bio and website builder for creators and small businesses: one page that holds a website, selling, bookings, forms and chat. A few weeks ago we shipped an MCP server so Claude and ChatGPT can build and edit those pages directly. A person says "add my new class times and a booking button" in a chat, and the assistant changes a real, public page. That is a different job from most MCP servers, which read data or run a search. Ours writes to something strangers will see. H...

Runevault - Hardware Authenticator Platform!

Inspiration In most companies, sending a large payment can be incredibly risky when only a username and password stand in the way. One shared login or compromised account can lead to a costly transfer that's hard to undo. Approving a six-figure payment often takes just one click. We wanted every high-value payment to be approved on purpose, by the right person, with something you can hold, and not rely on the internet for. We drew inspiration from the Poneglyphs in One Piece: ancient ston...
