Droptheslop.ai – pastebin alternative with human typing verification

hey HN, happy Monday! I got sick of receiving personal messages that were clearly written by AI, so I vibe-coded a pastebin-like service that allows authors to electively prove they wrote something themselves. how it works: - typing rhythm analysis: analyzing your keystroke patterns to measure how human-like they are, based on rhythm, speed, variance, etc. - audio verification: optionally, corroborating the audio from your microphone with your keystrokes as you type, to get an "audio verification" badge. in an increasingly AI-generated world, I think it's very important for us humans to be…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

hey HN, happy Monday! I got sick of receiving personal messages that were clearly written by AI, so I vibe-coded a pastebin-like service that allows authors to electively prove they wrote something themselves. how it works: - typing rhythm analysis: analyzing your keystroke patterns to measure how human-like they are, based on rhythm, speed, variance, etc. - audio verification: optionally, corroborating the audio from your microphone with your keystrokes as you type, to get an "audio verification" badge. in an increasingly AI-generated world, I think it's very important for us humans to be able to prove to each other that we actually wrote a piece of text ourselves. this is especially true for personal messaging and social media IMHO. so perhaps this type of physics-level verification needs to be built into our phones and browsers, not just for text, but also images, video, and audio. would love to hear this community's thoughts on this topic. note: this doesn't really prove that something wasn't written by AI. the idea is to raise the bar sufficiently to reduce the likelihood of something being AI written, and leave it to authors to decide how far they wish to go to prove to their audience that they did in fact write something themselves. - try it out: https://www.droptheslop.ai/ - demo: https://youtu.be/MEgo8xQNbdY?si=3cLc1xJ93XG_YDUj - verification for this post: https://www.droptheslop.ai/d/lMd7xoYx

    I've been using this for about a year now - I parsed 6 months of my messages on slack and found the most common phrases I use and generated keyboard shortcuts for them.

    I used AI to recreate a $4000 piece of audio hardware as a pluginJan 2026 · ▲160

    Hi Hacker News, This is definitely out of my comfort zone. I just wanted to show you guys because I'm super proud of it. It's a 100% faithful recreation based off of the schematics, patents, and ROMs that were found online. So please watch the video and tell me what you think https://youtu.be/auOlZXI1VxA The reason why I think this is relevant is because I've been a programmer for 25 years and AI scares the shit out of me. I'm not a programmer anymore. I'm something else now. I don't know what it is but it's multi-disciplinary, and it doesn't involve writing code myself--for…

    Replay your typing in a few lines of JavaScript2024 · einenlum.github.io · ▲82

    I recently needed to make a text appear on a website and I wanted to get this real human feeling that computers don't have. I only found the TypeIt lib but it was not free and I didn't want to add a dependency for such a simple case. Human replay allows to copy paste a few lines of JS to make a text appear exactly how you typed it.

    Truly Typed – A writing app for the AI eraMay 2026 · trulytyped.com · ▲8

    Hey HN, this is deepan from trulytyped (https://trulytyped.com). I am building a document writing app which makes it extremely easy to figure out how a document was created. Now that any text can be AI generated, how do you tell if something was actually generated or composed. It is impossible to detect AI after a piece of text has been generated. No amount of watermarking, linguistic checks or vibe checks work consistently. The AI detectors that schools and journals use are easy to bypass. Why do we need to solve this problem - First of all, this is not an anti-AI stance. I have…

  • 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…
