Show HN: Ownscribe – local meeting transcription, summarization and search

ownscribe is an open-source, python-based CLI tool to transcribe, summarize, and search meetings – fully locally on your machine.As someone who hates taking notes, but also forgets things easily, I found the idea of transcribing and summarizing meetings automatically neat. However, all the existing tools out there store everything on their servers, don't work with every type of meeting, and cost $30/month or more.I wanted a tool that just runs locally and uses a very simple format (lik

Ask HN: What's the state of multimodal prompt injection defence in 2026?

I've been researching multimodal prompt injection - attacks hidden in images, documents, and audio rather than text. Ran a structured test suite (225 attacks across 5 modalities) against a detection pipeline I built and the results were surprising.Some findings:- Audio is easier to defend than text. Ultrasonic and spectral attacks have detectable signal characteristics via FFT analysis. The hard part is after transcription, where it becomes a text problem again.- Cross-modal attacks are les

Show HN: Hoeren – Local-only meeting transcription and voice dictation

My company has a strict data policy around call recordings (and using cloud AI tools). I got tired of working around it every time I needed to transcribe something, so I built Hoeren - a macOS app that keeps everything on-device. No account, no internet, no subscription. Granola, Otter, Fireflies all do. This doesn't.Two things it does well:- Meeting transcription and summaries with action items - Voice dictation with optional AI prompting - you speak roughly, it turns that into something b

Elon Musk, Quantum Microtubules, and the Race for the Conscious Machine

A recent Quanta Magazine piece by John Pavlus examines a burning question: how close are humanoid robots to becoming more sophisticated than humans? While neural networks on fast GPUs have turbocharged computer vision and reinforcement learning, allowing robots to perceive environments better, a massive gap remains between "moving" and "being."Engineers have moved beyond the "linear inverted pendulum" model, using deep reinforcement learning to act as whole-body con

Free Google Workspace Account Falsely Accused of Commercial Use

We all know Google has been trying to get rid of their free legacy Google Workspace accounts. They almost did it entirely awhile back, and recanted at the last second.I have had one of these accounts since it was known as Google Apps For Your Domain. It’s the primary Google account for me and several of my friends. We weren’t using it for business then, and we are not using it for business now. I only ever wanted to have a normal consumer free Google account, but I also wanted for me and my frie

Show HN: Interactive first-principles climate physics simulation with explainer

A 3D visualizer of earth's climate in the browser. Introduces physics step by step so you can watch each process unfold as a piece of the overall climate.I built this over 6 months, almost entirely with AI, mostly Opus 4.6 in Claude Code. SF weather made no sense to me (Barely any seasons? September is the warmest month?) and I wanted to understand it better myself. This is a polished version of the app I'd want for myself, adding physics layer by layer to isolate the impact of each pi
