Show HN: Rem: Remember Everything (open source)
515 by jasonjmcghee | 183 comments on Hacker News.
An open source approach to locally record everything you view on your Apple Silicon computer. Note: Relies on Apple Silicon, and configured to only produce Apple Silicon builds. I think the idea of recording everything you see has the potential to change how we interact with our computers, and believe it should be open source. Also, from a privacy / security perspective, this is like... pretty scary stuff, and I want the code open so we know for certain that nothing is leaving your laptop. Even logging to Sentry has the potential to leak private info.

Ask HN: How do I train a custom LLM/ChatGPT on my own documents in Dec 2023?
584 by divan | 180 comments on Hacker News.
There is a 5 month old thread [1] on this, but it might be already outdated. What is the best approach for feeding custom set of documents to LLM and get non-halucinating and decent result in Dec 2023? UPD: The question is generally about how to "teach" LLM answer questions using your set of documents (not necessarily train your own, so approaches like RAG counts) [1] https://ift.tt/RT5uJlj

Show HN: Heynote – A dedicated scratchpad for developers
555 by jonatanheyman | 179 comments on Hacker News.
Hey! I made Heynote entirely for my own use case. For many years, I always had an Emacs instance running with the scratch buffer open, even long after I had abandoned Emacs as my programming editor in favor of more recent IDE:s. The simplicity of having just one big scratch buffer appeals to me, but I still want to separate the different things I jot down somehow (without using tabs or similar). Previously, my solution was to insert a bunch of blank lines between the notes, but hitting C-A would still select the entire buffer. That's why I came up with the concept of "blocks", which turned out really well for my use cases. I decided to release Heynote, thinking it might be useful to others.

Tell HN: I salute everyone on call/working support through the holidays

Thank you for keeping systems available and safe. I've been there many times in the past, including having to fly at the last minute to a non-internet-connected data center in NJ to babysit an emergency production bug fix that took the entire holiday to create, install, verify, and monitor.

Show HN: Open-source macOS AI copilot using vision and voice
424 by ralfelfving | 154 comments on Hacker News.
Heeey! I built a macOS copilot that has been useful to me, so I open sourced it in case others would find it useful too. It's pretty simple: - Use a keyboard shortcut to take a screenshot of your active macOS window and start recording the microphone. - Speak your question, then press the keyboard shortcut again to send your question + screenshot off to OpenAI Vision - The Vision response is presented in-context/overlayed over the active window, and spoken to you as audio. - The app keeps running in the background, only taking a screenshot/listening when activated by keyboard shortcut. It's built with NodeJS/Electron, and uses OpenAI Whisper, Vision and TTS APIs under the hood (BYO API key). There's a simple demo and a longer walk-through in the GH readme https://ift.tt/M8Jwd2r , and I also posted a different demo on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ralfelfving/status/1732044723630805212
