Show HN: Breaklist – A Morning Briefing Printed on a Tiny Thermal Receipt https://bit.ly/3qHdqY8

Show HN: Breaklist – A Morning Briefing Printed on a Tiny Thermal Receipt I built Breaklist to organize the essential info I need to start my day. It generates a personalized morning briefing, optimized for thermal printers. The morning report currently includes: Task list Reminders Weather forecast Summary of latest top articles on Hacker News The result is a tidy, receipt-sized report that I can print and take on-the-go each morning. https://bit.ly/3qwNZbS August 22, 2023 at 12:58PM

Show HN: Speleomorph, Shapeshifting Puzzle Metroidvania https://bit.ly/45idgpf

Show HN: Speleomorph, Shapeshifting Puzzle Metroidvania This was my entry for a Metroidvania Month game jam last year. I like how Metroidvanias make you rethink movement as the game goes on, and since I didn't want to design combat I focused on that. But I didn't want the different mechanics to be objects you pick up. The theme for the jam was "shapeshifting", which suggested the unusual mechanic seen here. Fortunately I'd forgotten about Snakebird or I might not have been bold enough to make the gravity+snake parts so prominent. And in the year since this came out, there have been at least three cool puzzle games nearby in design space: - Tetronimeow https://bit.ly/45k4eIn has a heavy focus on rotation (which I skipped to avoid confusion), it gets much more Metroidvania mileage out of the central idea - Growmi https://bit.ly/3YRBrZ9 does a great job building mechanics out of the snake+gravity idea - The Plumber Thing https://bit.ly/45hqgLS If this looks familiar, I did post a Show HN last year, but dang invited me to re-submit it. I kept putting it off in hopes I could make a big splash when launching a new version: I have some ideas for touchscreens (currently keyboard only) and for an earlier game with more restricted abilities (no free transformation, then swapping with just one previous shape). But it's looking unlikely that I'll revisit it. https://bit.ly/3PDHlIY August 22, 2023 at 04:11AM

Show HN: Talk to AI Models in Terminal https://bit.ly/3quhZoM

Show HN: Talk to AI Models in Terminal Hi everyone, nice to meet you and I am a newcomer of HN. I have made a binary tool Aih that could communicate with Bard, ChatGPT, Claude, and Llama(HuggingChat) from the terminal. https://bit.ly/3QMlNfN Since CAPTCHA challenges and bots detecting have become increasingly difficult, I've changed my strategy from hacking the APIs to simulating a real browser's action. The tool first takes the logged-in cookies of Google, ChatGPT, Claude, and HuggingChat accounts from the real Chrome browser, then it opens an invisible instance of Chromium for communication, then displays the answers in terminal. I think it's useful especially when I am researching some topics and need to compare answers of those AI models at the same time. Feel free to test and welcome provide feedback! https://bit.ly/3QMlNfN August 20, 2023 at 01:10PM

Show HN: Superfunctions – AI prompt templates as an API https://bit.ly/457z5aV

Show HN: Superfunctions – AI prompt templates as an API Hi HN, https://bit.ly/45j4rvi I'm working on a web app that allows Ai prompts to function as an API. I want to make it easier for developers to use Ai. I've found it painful to monitor, cache, and iterate on prompts. superfunctions.com is designed to be the simplest building block to create Ai powered apps and scripts. Simplest example I can think of: You want an api to convert human-named colors to hex You can write a prompt like: "convert to color, only output hex for css" and then you can call your prompt with https://bit.ly/45B9S8B and the response will contain: #0000FF Watch a short video intro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdO1TBUbRuA Login without needing an account: https://bit.ly/3sgEq14 I'm still sorting out a few bugs, but it's usable in it's current state. This is my first solo project, so I'm very open to feedback and suggestions. -Trent https://bit.ly/45B9TcF August 20, 2023 at 10:36AM

Show HN: Just intonation keyboard – play music without knowing music https://bit.ly/3KOBEq7

Show HN: Just intonation keyboard – play music without knowing music This is a keyboard in just intonation. It can play the notes a piano can. The big difference from a piano is that all the notes become consonant. You can play without knowing any music theory. Hit arbitrary notes with the rhythm you want, and the pitches will work. Not understanding the buttons is fine. Even rolling your elbow around your keyboard is fine. If you are a musician and press the wrong key while playing a song, it will still fit. It will sound like you made an intelligent, conscious choice to play another note, even though you know in your heart it was an accident. Beginner jazz musicians rejoice. It's not an AI making choices for you; it's just a very elegant interface. What makes this possible is several new discoveries in psychoacoustics about how harmony works. While a piano lays out notes in pitch space, this keyboard is able to lay out notes in consonance space. When you play random notes, they tend to be "close together" on the physical keyboard. Distance on the keyboard maps well to distance in consonance space, so those random notes are close together in consonance space and sound good together. According to Miles Davis, a "wrong" note becomes correct in the right context. If you try to play a wrong note, the purple buttons you press will automatically land you in the right context, even if you don't know what that context is yourself. So you can stumble your way through an improv and the keyboard will offer the right notes without needing you to think about it. Harmonic consonance of chords can be read directly off the numbers in the keyboard, which implies that these numbers are a good language to think about music with. It doesn't take years of training, just reading the rules. The subset of playable songs is different from a piano, which means that songs in your existing piano repertoire will snip off some notes. Hardware for thumb keys would fix this, so you could play your existing piano songs in full, plus other songs a piano can't play. I don't have such hardware so I haven't implemented this. The other way is to have two keyboards and a partner. The remaining issue is that there is no sheet music in just intonation. Unfortunately, I have had no success in finding piano sheet music in a common, interpretable format. So while I do have a converter from 12 equal temperament to just intonation, there are no input files to use it with... https://bit.ly/3qHeHOT August 19, 2023 at 11:49PM
