A 24/7 live stream where AI writes a new song about the current time
A clock radio from the 1950s played music and showed the time. I wanted to see what happens when you combined an old idea with a new one — the music itself tells you the time. It's also hilarious. This is a fully automated YouTube live stream. Every few minutes, a new AI-generated song plays. Every song is in a different genre. Every song's lyrics are about what time it is right now. The system generates them ahead of time using Suno's API, builds video segments with FFmpeg, and streams continuously via RTMP. There's no human in the loop and no pre-recorded content. The core challenge is a…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
A clock radio from the 1950s played music and showed the time. I wanted to see what happens when you combined an old idea with a new one — the music itself tells you the time. It's also hilarious. This is a fully automated YouTube live stream. Every few minutes, a new AI-generated song plays. Every song is in a different genre. Every song's lyrics are about what time it is right now. The system generates them ahead of time using Suno's API, builds video segments with FFmpeg, and streams continuously via RTMP. There's no human in the loop and no pre-recorded content. The core challenge is a scheduling problem: generation takes ~3 minutes, song durations are variable (2-4 min), and the lyric timestamp has to match the actual start time. The orchestrator tracks a rolling average of API latency and adjusts its lookahead window accordingly. Stack: Python, Suno API, Pillow, FFmpeg.

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

Built a ~9M param LLM from scratch to understand how they actually work. Vanilla transformer, 60K synthetic conversations, ~130 lines of PyTorch. Trains in 5 min on a free Colab T4. The fish thinks the meaning of life is food. Fork it and swap the personality for your own character.

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
