Society Speaks
Hi HN, I’ve been quietly building an experiment called Society Speaks to explore a question that’s bothered me for a long time: Can we measure public opinion without flattening it into polls, comments, or outrage? Instead of comments or demographics, the system uses: • clear statements • simple voting (agree / disagree / unsure) • optional short explanations People aren’t grouped by who they say they are, but by how they actually respond. Using ML techniques inspired by Pol.is, this reveals natural opinion clusters, areas of genuine consensus, ideas that bridge different groups,…

What it does
Society Speaks is a public discussion platform where nuanced debate leads to better understanding and real solutions. It provides a space where users can create and participate in Pol.is-powered discussions, share opinions, and reach consensus
Society Speaks is a civic technology platform that uses machine learning to find where people genuinely agree, reveal bridge ideas that unite opposing groups, and surface real divisions worth addressing. Vote on the big questions. See what society actually thinks.
Democracy works better when we understand each other. Vote on the questions defining our era — then see where people genuinely agree, where they divide, and which ideas can bridge the gap and inform better decisions. Browse freely without an account.

Lovable▲1,477Hey HN! Previous CERN physicist turned hacker here. We've developed a way to make AI coding actually work by systematically identifying and fixing places where LLMs typically fail in full-stack development. Today we're launching as Lovable (previously gptengineer.app) since it's such a big change. The problem? AI writing code typically make small mistakes and then get stuck. Those who tried know the frustration. We fixed most of this by mapping out where LLMs fail in full-stack dev and engineering around those pitfalls with prompt chains. Thanks to this, in all comparisons I found with: v0,…

I wasn't quite sure if this qualified as "Show HN" given you can't really download it and try it out. However, dang said[0]: > If it's hardware or something that's not so easy to try out over the internet, find a different way to show how it actually works—a video, for example, or a detailed post with photos. Hopefully I did that? Additionally, I've put code and a detailed guide for the netboot computer management setup on GitHub: https://github.com/kentonv/lanparty Anyway, if this shouldn't have been Show HN, I apologize!
