Show HN: Looped Whisper (FOSS) – Voice transcription menubar app for macOS

I built a free, open-source (MIT) macOS menu-bar app that runs Whisper models locally to assist with dictation. There is also the option to use an LLM (BYOK).You hold a global hotkey, speak, and the text gets pasted at your cursor similar to other similar/popular apps.Some details: - Transcription runs locally via WhisperKit (CoreML), so it works offline once the model is downloaded. BYO model — tiny through large-v3, auto-downloaded and cached. The base model has been working surprisingly

Show HN: Explore Ethereum by the Shape of a Transaction

I built a block explorer that allows visitors to browse the Ethereum blockchain by the shape of each transaction’s calls tree and address interaction graph. The call tree visualization is clickable ui which reveals sub-transaction as well as every other transaction that contains them. Currently the corpus only has about 1 Billion transactions (Blocks: 20800000 – 25399999) but I plan to automate the recent block ingestion as well as backfill data to The Merge. (Keeping up with the chain speed is

I have dedicated the last two years of catching the AI wave and trying to understand the impact it is having at my job, but also healthcare in general. I feel like a teacher in Sex Ed sometimes. “Unintentional sex that happens without planning or understanding the consequences is TERRIBLE. [Insert gross pictures]. It is very irresponsible and not good for your health! Now here’s a condom.” But instead:“Unintentional AI use that happens without planning or just to write an

When people figure out things on their own, they generate knowledge as a byproduct, knowledge that flows into the shared pool that everyone subsequently draws on. AI assistance gives each individual a better immediate answer while quietly removing the cognitive labour that produces the shared pool, and the model shows that under plausible conditions this can tip into a steady state where the collective knowledge base contracts even as individual decisions remain locally rational. The recommended

WiMi Develops Quantum Convolutional Neural Network Model for Classical Data Classification

BEIJING, June 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc. (NASDAQ: WIMI) ('WIMI' or the 'Company'), a leading global Hologram Augmented Reality ('AR') Technology provider, has completed systematic benchmark testing on fully parameterized quantum convolutional neural networks. Its research team has proposed a quantum neural network model inspired by classical convolutional neural networks. Throughout the entire computational process, this model only adopts two-qubit interactions. It not only retains the simplicity of the network architecture but also greatly lowers the implementation difficulty of quantum circuits, laying a crucial foundation for its practical deployment on noisy intermediate-scale quantum computers in the future.
