Show HN: Biscotti – on-device meeting transcription for macOS
https://github.com/scosman/BiscottiI got tired of Electron meeting-transcription apps that upload my private audio to a server to do transcription/summary my MacBook could do locally in seconds. So I built Biscotti: a free, local meeting recorder. Calendar integration, voice isolation, speaker ID, AI summaries, native UI — and nothing ever leaves your device.It's completely private: all AI runs locally, all data stored locally, nothing leaves your device, no cloud.

A simple experiment around multilingual video transcription.<p>Feedback welcome.
Show HN: BYO AI free notetaking with optional screen reading for OpenClaw/hermes
I've built fully on-device (macOS) meeting transcription/summaries/action-items app. It uses parakeet and gemma 4 or OpenClaw or Hermes Agent to drive main functionalities. It's free, requires no account or email, and is source available.
You can also natively connect your own local/VPS OpenClaw or Hermes to use them, their memory and context, as a notetaker.About me: my name is Piotr. I'm having plenty of calls as a freelancing programmer, and have interest in audi
How AIoT Is Revolutionizing Automotive Manufacturing
How AIoT Is Revolutionizing Automotive ManufacturingThe automotive industry is changing fast, and the manufacturers are adopting newer technologies to boost output, lower overhead expenses, and also stay in the game. One of the big drivers behind all this shift is Artificial Intelligence of Things, sometimes people just say AIoT and move on.So basically, AIoT mixes Artificial Intelligence (AI) with the Internet of Things (IoT) , and that creates a more connected manufacturing space where machine
The AI revolution pushes Apple to change its Mac processor roadmap and skip the high-end M6 generation!
The AI revolution pushes Apple to change its Mac processor roadmap and skip the high-end M6 generation!It seems the AI fever has left no corner of Silicon Valley untouched, and the victim—or perhaps the beneficiary—this time is Apple’s Mac processor roadmap! In an unexpected move, Apple has decided to completely restructure its silicon chip plans, placing artificial intelligence at the forefront of its priorities. According to the latest reports, the company is preparing to bypass the anticipate

Why AI Search Is Replacing Traditional Search: The Future of Search Has Already Begun
Why AI Search Is Replacing Traditional Search: The Future of Search Has Already BegunFor more than two decades, traditional search engines have been the primary way people discovered information online. Users would enter a keyword or phrase, browse through a list of links, visit multiple websites, and piece together answers themselves.That process is now changing rapidly. Artificial intelligence is transforming how people search by delivering direct answers, personalized…Why AI Search Is Replaci

Alan Turing's biggest AI assumption may have been wrong
Alan Turing&apos;s biggest AI assumption may have been wrongTouring’s assumptions from his 1950 paper: The first is that intelligence can exist independently of a physical body and therefore be recreated in computer software. The second is that a machine can demonstrate intelligence by successfully imitating a human in conversation.Denning is saying that both are wrong. Because they are wrong we may be able to create machines that emulate intelligence, but in fact do not have real inte
Ask HN: AI Agent and harness containerization/security recommendations
Hello HN crew -I am seeing the tendency for people to allow AI agents to access local project & user folders, and beyond (operating system files).I thought to ask the question:
How can we best use AI tools safely - where the workflow often runs local system commands and network commands - to protect the integrity of our systems & data AND be easy enough to use productively?Comment structure idea:Operating system / Agent harness / Agent / Security strategy & tool stack

Show HN: Replen – maps your repos to a knowledge graph to match open-source
Hi all. I built Replen as a way to improve my AI dev workflows. In essence, it automates what was a manual process for me and turns it from a reactive stance to a proactive one. That being reading/ scrolling lists and creators that showcased cool and trending repos. If i saw something I liked i’d then manually checked with Claude or Codex to see if theres anything here worth taking because I had a hunch there might be. Replen now does this for me. And cuts out a number of back and fourths
Launch HN: Agnost AI (YC S26) – Extract user feedback from agent conversations
Hey HN, we’re Shubham & Parth, childhood friends building Agnost AI (https://agnost.ai), product analytics for teams building chat and voice agents.We read production conversations and find behavioral failures like users rageprompting (cursing at the agent), repeatedly rephrasing the same request, correcting the agent, asking for missing features, or leaving after an answer that was technically successful.We have an interactive demo with no signup here: https://app.agnost
Human brain cells may be far more powerful computers than scientists thought
For years, one of the simplest explanations for human intelligence was also one of the biggest: the human brain has an enormous number of neurons. It also has an even more enormous web of connections ...
The secret to human cognition might lie in the complex computing power of individual brain cells
A new study reveals that single human brain cells possess remarkable computational power compared to those of rodents. Sprawling branch-like structures and highly reactive synapses allow individual human neurons to act as sophisticated mini-computers.
