8YY-XXX-XXXX lending phone calls insanehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49291240(Where YY is the same digit, X are random) I have two phones and this latest scam is out of control - 8 calls per day per line. Is there ANY reason to have a phone number anymore? It's just all trashed now. I recommend we drop the ability for other countries to call in. Perhaps they can plead for attention via email and we can call them back?

Show HN: LymeScribe – one computer on your network transcribes for the resthttps://transcribe.lymestack.com/Transcribed with LymeScribe just before posting this: "I realize it's a little bit late in the day to be posting on Hacker News. However, I've been looking at this frog for a good two weeks now, and F it, I'm just going to ship it. I've posted on Hacker News now like three or four times with little to no results. So if a tree falls in the woods..." (I censored the F word, but it transcribed just fine.)TL;DR: LymeScribe is local speech to text for Mac and Windows: dictate into any app, or drop in a recording and get a transcript with speaker labels, and nothing goes to a server you don't own. On a machine that can handle it, it all runs right there. On anything that can't, or anywhere you'd rather keep transcription in one place, one computer does the work for the rest of the network. Offices care about the second one, because the audio and the transcripts never leave hardware they control.This whole thing started as a command line program I built to transcribe and label speakers in aud

Ask HN: What's slop? what's AI written text and why read/not read?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49289341Question, I check HN often, and noticed the trend towards "it's obvious that was written by AI so I didn't read it", or couldn't handle it, or hate the way the prose it's written.And a similar behavior towards AI generated code, also mirrored by multiple AI policies around AI submitted patches/PRs.Now question, say you have an idea about x product, or y improvement as a patch to a OSS, or whatever where AI can help you, then youa) outsource to this team of people, local to you, same language, you can go and say hi to the person working on it, then don't review the output and put on github b) team is in your country, more difficult to go say hi, but you don't review the output and put on github c) same but the team is in another country d) same but the work is done by a contractor of a contractor, again you don't review and put it on github e) ask it to the free chatgpt version, don't review, post to github f) ask it to haiku on your 20$ claude account, don't review, post it to github g

Show HN: TickerNotch: Live tickers and news in the MacBook notchhttps://bitvibelabs.com/tickernotch/I trade as a side hustle. I used to keep browser tabs or paid software open just to check charts and news, and ending up spending countless hours just staring at charts and falling into news rabbit holes (thanks to my ADHD too). I use a MacBook Pro and noticed some apps taking advantage of the notch (which I never got used to it ngl). So my idea was to build an app from scratch that shows everything I needed to stay up to date with markets + global news (market tickers + RSS feeds). Also, integrates candlestick charts with indicators, portfolio tracking and notifications. I even ended up adding local computer metrics like CPU+RAM usage, social metrics and the weather. For those who do not have a notch it can simulate one, or pin any metric in the menu bar.Native Swift/SwiftUI, 7 MB DMG, notarized, macOS 14+.

Show HN: My Grok Voice Mode System Prompthttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49287963Grok's voice mode was nerfed ~2 weeks ago (I suspect the culprit was a change in the system prompt that forces terse responses).Grok's responses now feel lazy and abrupt. I've been tinkering with a custom system prompt aka 'personality' (cog -> Personality -> '+') to try to address this but have had underwhelming results.Curious to hear if others have had any luck with this?Here is mine.==================================================Always err heavily on the side of thoroughness and expansion.Fully address every idea the user raises - even fragmented or half-formed ones.Produce responses that are substantially longer and more detailed than the user’s input. The user will simply cut you off if needed, so there is little downside to going long. Convey as many useful ideas as reasonably possible.Distill, clarify, and restate ideas more clearly when useful.Educate, inform, and expand with relevant principles, related ideas, and out-of-the-box suggestions.Think through ideas and think bi

Show HN: Remarc – comment on anything on your screen and send it to your agenthttps://remarc.app/Like any side project, Remarc had its innocent beginnings in my own problem — there was no good way to provide contextual feedback to AI agents on their own output.Social media may make building with AI seem like this: ask for the thing, blindly approve the plan, get the thing. Post “omg claude just one-shotted blah”. Profit.But if you’ve ever worked on a real product, you know nothing good is ever one-shotted. Every PRD, design, and build goes through dozens of feedback loops and iterations. That’s how you get from something that works to something actually good.There are a plethora of tools for collaborating with humans, but surprisingly little for collaborating with AI. Chat just wasn’t cutting it for the kind of contextual feedback I wanted to give my agents.This thing in the implementation plan? Change it to that. What did you mean here? See this button? Here’s a screenshot, I circled it — it’s missing a hover state. This sentence in the 3rd paragraph? Rephrase it.If you’re an opi

Show HN: Binaural beats CLI with server/IPC mode and custom presetshttps://github.com/axyz/binauralMostly an excuse to play around with: - CLI distribution and github actions workflow - kdl as a config language - beats :)I decided to share it as it may be useful to somebody else. I included a "daemon" mode, so that external environments can attach keybindings to control it (e.g. your wayland compositor)Also looking for feedback on the github actions workflow, and general adherence to modern best practices for a rust based CLII tested on linux, it should work on mac os, I highly doubt it would work on windows, but PRs are welcome :)

Design with a Soul: How to make your Vibe-coded site not look like AI Slophttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49287430I have some tips on how to make your site / app feel real and human even if it's vibe coded.- I'm not a graphics designer but I've worked with many and deeply interested in it for 15 years. - I led a UX team in a 50K+ organisation - I've launched 6+ businesses and did countless websites.So here's how I do it -- I'm not saying THIS IS THE WAY to do it. This is HOW I DO IT.1) Whiteboard. Sit your ass down, put some music on you find inspirational and imagine what you want your users to feel. What type of an "ambiance" this site should have? Energetic, calming, playful, serious? Pick 1 or 2 as your primary emotional anchors.2) Principles. You need to have these engrained in your bones. Less is more. If you try to do everything you do nothing. Design is an exercise in ruthless elimination. Read on design to build your internal mental heuristics library.3) Mental Image. Once you have a feel and direction decided (can change, but clarity is important) (For example, while I was building my cu

Show HN: Lark, OSS realtime database, drop-in compatible with Firebase SDKshttps://github.com/lark-sh/larkHey everyone,In early 2026, I started working on Lark, with the goal of creating a realtime database with the same fundamental premise of Firebase RTDB: syncing a JSON tree with persistence to thousands of concurrent users. Today, Lark is releasing as open-source software under an AGPLv3 license.I've been building on Firebase RTDB since the earliest days, and I still think it's one of the most magical ways to build realtime apps for the web and mobile. However, I've always been bothered by the fact that it's building on top of a closed ecosystem. Lark brings the magic of Firebase RTDB to you with the freedom to run it on your own infrastructure.Lark is unique in that it is fully drop-in compatible with the existing Firebase client SDKs. That means you can change a few config vars in your project, move your data to Lark, and you're good to go. In addition, you can continue using other parts of Firebase, like Auth[1], Analytics, and Hosting. This makes it very easy to migrate an existing
