AI News app to fight misinformation
The Problem: Social media platforms such as X, Facebook, and Reddit have become the primary news sources for most individuals. These platforms are designed to maximize engagement and provide information that reinforces existing biases. The mass adoption of these platforms has contributed to highly polarized societies and widespread misinformation and hate. Drooid’s Approach: Drooid tackles misinformation and bias by providing all sides of news stories. It gathers articles from various journalistic sources, processes them, and then generates short news summaries, around 60 words, which cover…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
The Problem: Social media platforms such as X, Facebook, and Reddit have become the primary news sources for most individuals. These platforms are designed to maximize engagement and provide information that reinforces existing biases. The mass adoption of these platforms has contributed to highly polarized societies and widespread misinformation and hate. Drooid’s Approach: Drooid tackles misinformation and bias by providing all sides of news stories. It gathers articles from various journalistic sources, processes them, and then generates short news summaries, around 60 words, which cover all sides, left, right, and center. Whenever possible, Drooid provides a short historical context with them. To give the complete picture faster, Drooid avoids overwhelming with excessive information. However, there is an In-depth news analysis feature to help you understand in detail "what exactly happened," "how different stakeholders are affected," "how they reacted," and "how various news reports contradict each other," and a lot more. On Drooid, you’re not just a passive reader; you can comment, share how you feel, and add context. Every comment appears in a community feed. You can read others' comments on news stories. With this, news becomes humane, not just facts and reports. For full transparency, every summary links back to the original articles. Making it easy to read and share original articles. It serves two purposes: readers get to know where the information is coming from, and publishers receive the traffic.

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…

I made a built-from scratch Wayland Compositor to display any GUI app* in the terminal! I think there is a lot of unexplored potential in custom Wayland compositors, a lot of really cool things you can embed existing applications into! So, I started with embedding apps into the terminal because that is the easiest input/output (output is just utf-8 and I use the great `chafa` library for that, and I just read from stdin for the input). If you have any other ideas for cool Wayland compositors, let me know. I purposedly wrote 80% the app in Typescript to appeal to the most developers and…

Years ago I stumbled across a basic version of this concept and it stuck with me. I knew if I was ever going to take on such a project, it would need to be flawless, but without coding experience it was just another idea that would never happen. By the end of 2024, as AI coding tools exploded everywhere, I finally had a way to make it real. I started from zero knowledge and spent months collaborating with AI agents as a learning experience. Every pixel and every function went through me. The AI translated what I asked for into code, but every decision was human. I didn't use existing OS…
