Hi HN :D I'm 20 and I spent a year building something that shouldn't be possible: a custom on-device vision LLM that processes your entire digital life overnight on a phone.We all have thousands of buried screenshots, notes, files, bookmarks, saved posts, etc we'll never find again. The only way to make AI understand all of it is to upload everything to the cloud -- privacy nightmare, and way too expensive at scale. And it shouldn't be possible on-device either: small models
Hey HN!I built SimplePDF Copilot: an AI assistant that can interact with the PDF editor. It fills fields, answers questions, focuses on a specific field, adds fields, deletes pages, and so on.It's built on top of SimplePDF that I started 7 years ago, pioneering privacy-respecting client-side pdf editing, now used monthly by 200k+ people.As for the privacy model: the PDF itself never leaves the browser. Parsing, rendering, and field detection all run client-side.The text the model needs (and
Hello HN,This is toposonico, a music recommender and navigable map. At core it's a skipgram word2vec model trained over ~6M playlists. Tracks are embedded in a 128d space. Embeddings for albums, artists and labels are computed marginalizing over tracks. The 2D map was built with UMAP.Both the model and UMAP were trained in the cloud over a NVIDIA A100. All things considered it cost me around ~50EUR, over two main training sessions and a few experiments. For the slippy map I experimented wit
Hey, you probably already saw that reviewing AI-generated code is a nightmare and quickly becomes a bottleneck. Everyone is using AI agents to write code fast, but the hard part is reviewing a bazillion lines.I was thinking about building something that would guide me during development and during PR reviews. Something that would give me signals based on facts, risks, and evidence. Not just one LLM reviewing the code it generated. The initial idea was to add a deterministic review layer and comb
GitHub and GitLab will verify that a commit is signed by some key on the user's account. They won't let you require that it be signed by a specific key, like a hardware-backed YubiKey your org issued. So if an attacker compromises a developer's laptop or GitHub account, they can add a new signing key, push commits signed with it, and pass every "Require signed commits" protection in place. The malicious commit lands in the repo with a "Verified" badge.As far as
While the world is a big place, humans are making greater and greater demands on the same areas of land. "This means that, unless we use the same land to serve multiple needs and coordinate this effort through planning, it is unlikely that we will have enough land for conservation, food and energy," said Grace Wu, a professor in UC Santa Barbara's Environmental Studies Program.
Every person, in every country, in every continent will be or is impacted in some shape or form by climate change. With rising greenhouse gas emissions, climate change is occurring at rates much ...

Medicare beneficiaries will keep expanded access to telehealth through Dec. 31, 2027, buying time for millions who have come to rely on virtual care. The extension preserves pandemic-era flexibility that allowed patients to see doctors remotely, including through video and, in many cases, audio-only visits. But the reprieve may be temporary, raising questions about what happens next. Older Americans, especially those in rural areas or with mobility challenges, stand to benefit most. For now, acc
Husband and wife duo, Matt and Jeanette are running the London Marathon to raise money for our charity and support two causes that mean a lot to them: Nightingale Macmillan Unit - where Matt's mum received end of life care during Covid Royal Derby's Dolphin Ward - after their son Oscar was treated for meningitis at just 3 weeks old
This lunchtime learning session was hosted by Alison Penny and Adam Borthwick from National Children's Bureau. They were speaking on the COVID-19 review document (found here), which focuses on the implications the COVID-19 pandemic had for children and young people across Northern Ireland.
In this episode of The Alix Mayer Show, Alix sits down with Rebecca Charles Jackson—alongside attorneys Tricia Lindsay and Graham Brownstein—to expose what they allege is a devastating case of hospital protocol abuse during the COVID era. Rebecca shares the story of her daughter Danielle, a special needs girl who suffered a brain injury at birth and entered the hospital in 2021 for only the second time in her life. Though she had mild symptoms, she was then subjected to a series of aggressive t
Réalisé en 2020 en pleine période COVID, Roads of Fear a été produit avec un budget d’environ 70K€, dans des conditions de fabrication contraintes. Cette séquence, centrée autour d’une explosion, faisait partie des passages les plus ambitieux du film. Malgré un investissement important en temps au moment du montage, le résultat n’avait pas atteint le niveau souhaité. Dans le cadre du développement du long métrage White City, ce travail a été repris aujourd’hui comme base d’expérimentation. L’obj

Ayurveda, the traditional Indian system of medicine, has been gaining popularity in recent years. The Indian government has been promoting the use of Ayurveda and other traditional systems of medicine under the AYUSH scheme. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, AYUSH has been used to fight the virus, highlighting the importance of traditional medicine. However, the Indian knowledge system of medicine is lagging behind, and there is a need to collect theses on Ayush to further develop the system
