Show HN: Self-Hosted Social Media Agents with Raspberry Pihttps://www.microphone.computer/A while back I posted about a project I was working on for a real-time voice agent that runs ads on Meta to build conviction and prioritize side gig/business ideas (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48900788); you yammer away and it automates market research, problem statements and hypotheses. I've been working with some folks from HN on the app since then.What we've been focused on building is a modern solo-founder GTM tool -- figuring out how to triangulate aspiration, problems only you can solve, and organic distribution in one solution. So, not building apps; but rather helping you figure out what you like and then connect you with the right people that can help you on your journey and find the communities to help you distribute it.For the latter, I was impressed by the recent Grok bot launch; but didn't want Elon accessing all of our accounts to train on -- so I set-up dockerized social media agents that run at home on a Raspberry Pi. They'll do the same job as Grok for this bu

Chesney sits down with Lee Cowan in the Florida Keys, where the country superstar is just another laid-back local, to talk about family, touring, and how he recovered from a 2009 concert which he describes as "hitting a wall."

Ask HN: What silly or weird web search did you do recently?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49408093Web searches have become a common part of most peoples' lives. But there are times when an 'innocent bystander' might ask themselves: "What the #&$@ is that?".So: what web search did you do recently, where (imagining average-dude-in-the-street looking over your shoulder) that person might utter a WTF or two? Multiple answers allowed!Please keep in mind that HN users (on average) do not qualify as "average dude in the street". Whoever he/she/they may be. What may seem ordinary/known to many on HN, may not seem so to most other people. And the reverse may also be true: HN users could be less likely to keep tabs on say, the latest memes, TikTok videos or celebrity gossip.Perhaps it's a good idea to leave names of software projects out? There's sooooo many, a significant fraction of those passing by on HN posts don't ring any bell for me.Let's summarize it as "whatever might pique a random bystander's intellectual curiosity".

Show HN: linecast – weather, radar, tides and maps in the terminalhttps://terminaltrove.com/linecast/I've been working on linecast, a free and open source collection of six terminal applications: weather, radar, sunshine, moon, tides, and maps.It's as if the Old Farmer's Almanac was built for Minitel.I made it because I'd been using the terminal a lot more over the past couple of years, I'm opinionated about weather forecast IA and design, and I liked the idea of making useful little terminal desk ornaments.The applications use ANSI color and Unicode braille characters rather than graphics. They reflow as the terminal is resized and derive their colors from your current terminal palette, including when the theme changes while they're running. They're mouse friendly where it makes sense.There's no account or required API key. Forecasts and air quality come from Open-Meteo; alerts, tides, and radar use various public sources; Sun and Moon positions are calculated locally; and the maps use OpenStreetMap-derived vector data and public elevation tiles. The code is just the Python stdlib wi

Show HN: Room Acoustic and HRTF Simulatorhttps://nikhil-verma.com/room-signal/I've been fascinated with how sounds bounce around the room and enter your ears, and how you can find out with two sets of microphones on your head whether the audio is coming from front or behind you.So I tried to build a simulator that allows you to play different kinds of audio in different scenarios and it traces their acoustics and bounces around the room and lets you play them on your headphones to feel like how it would feel if you were in that room.Source: https://github.com/NikhilVerma/room-signal
