I Built ReplyBuddy Because My Friend Never Knows What to Reply

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Weekend Challenge: Build for a Friend What I Built I built ReplyBuddy, a simple AI-powered tool that helps you write better replies to messages. The idea came from a small but very common problem. Sometimes you know what you want to say, but you are not sure how to say it. You might want to sound friendly without being too casual, professional without sounding robotic, or simply want a short and natural reply. I built ReplyBuddy...

How I Edit Text That Is Already Baked Into an Image

There's a specific image problem that most tools have no good answer for: the words are already part of the picture, and the original design file is gone. A cafe renames itself, but the sign photo is already printed on the menu. An event moves a week later, but the poster only exists as a JPG. A price goes up and the shelf label is a flat photo from two years ago. In each case, re-shooting costs more than the change is worth. Photoshop is the obvious answer and usually the wrong one.

A transformer block is six tensors and a bus: read it like a pipeline

Originally published at cchinchilla.dev . Part 5 of From code to weights, a 12-part series on ML fundamentals for engineers. Part 4 ended on one stage. A decoder is a stack of blocks, twelve in GPT-2 small, and attention is one of two stages in each. This post reads a whole block the way you'd read a pipeline: what flows in, what each stage writes, and where the parameters and the cost end up. They don't end up in the same place. I read Block in nanoGPT's model.py with the shape...

Show HN: Bearbits – AI copilot that helps during meetings instead of only after

I built this app mainly for myself and my wife. We both work in consulting and have tons of meetings every week. I had tried many of the existing meeting copilots but never found something that actually fulfilled what I wanted. Mainly, I wanted to be able to see in real time what's being said, irrespective of the language being spoken, including when people switch languages mid-meeting, which happens a lot in my work. I also wanted it translated in real time into my language, and I wanted sugges...
