I indexed 8,643 BSides talks across 227 chapters and 6 continents
Hi HN, I'm Roland, and for the past few weeks, I've been building AllBSides — a directory of every BSides conference talk uploaded to YouTube. As of today, 8,643 talks from 5,927 speakers across 227 chapters in 68 countries. Combined runtime is 280 days. The transcripts come to about 60 million words. The archive came together in stages: 1. Manually map every BSides chapter's YouTube channel 2. Pull every video and transcript from Supabase 3. Run each transcript through Haiku for tag extraction (tools, topics, difficulty, team, talk style, research method, and much more) 4. Run results…

PodText.ai – Search anything said on a podcast, highlight text to play2023 · podtext.ai · ▲219Hi HN, wanted to share a project that I’ve been working on recently. PodText allows users to find anything said on a podcast. You can also listen and share clips to a specific part of the podcast audio, simply by highlighting the text of that part. Currently there are just over 25k podcast episodes and I’m adding a lot more in the coming weeks (yes my GPU bill is painful). In order to monetize it, I’m building a sponsorship database to help sponsors find podcasts and vice versa. This will be sold in the form of a $99/month “PodText Business” subscription. I bet I could charge a lot more…

TL;DR2025 · tl-dr.tv · ▲199I love Hacker News but I rarely have time to read full articles / comments, so I built a simple site to summarize the top posts & comments to make it easier to get a big picture. A few implementation details: - It pulls the top stories from the HN Firebase API (`/v0/topstories`) - Filters stories with >200 points - Uses Claude Sonnet for post + comment summaries - Tries to capture the sentiment of the comments (still working on improving this) - Refreshes both posts + summaries hourly It has already helped me I hope it helps you! Please let me know if you have any feedback --…

Parallel agents, diff reviewer, and multi-model comparisons
Dev tools · May 2026 · kilo.ai
Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
