Show HN: Live coaching app for remote SWE interviews, uses Whisper and GPT-4

Posting from a throwaway account to maintain privacy. This project is a salvo against leetcode-style interviews that require candidates to study useless topics and confidently write code in front of a live audience, in order to get a job where none of that stuff matters. Cheetah is an AI-powered macOS app designed to assist users during remote software engineering interviews by providing real-time, discreet coaching and integration with CoderPad. It uses Whisper for audio transcription and GPT-4 to generate hints/answers. The UI is intentionally minimal to allow for discreet use during a video call. It was fun dipping into the world of LLMs, prompt chaining, etc. I didn't find a Swift wrapper for whisper.cpp, so in the repo there's also a barebones Swift framework that wraps whisper.cpp and is designed for real-time transcription on M1/M2. I'll be around if anyone has questions or comments!

New Show Hacker News story: Show HN: Sora, Personal Publishing Platform

Show HN: Sora, Personal Publishing Platform 10 by chrispuska | 3 comments on Hacker News. We wanted to create, to express ourselves without being judged either by strangers or some algorithm. We wanted our own space on the internet, where our photos and words would matter. So we started to build an app that can showcase our content, without having to pick a platform. You can use Sora to publish a few different content types. - Blog - Polaroid - Poster - Microblog You can either display them all on your Sora profile as a summary (like mine https://ift.tt/x8oP2en ), or put any of them forward for the world to see. We plan to run this app for a long time and looking for feedback, so let us know what you think! (feedback@sora.city, or link on website) --- Our stack today is Node, Typescript, NextJS, atomic CSS, with everything stored on Supabase.

New Show Hacker News story: Show HN: KrotoDC – gRPC in Kotlin with Dataclasses

Show HN: KrotoDC – gRPC in Kotlin with Dataclasses 2 by mscheong | 0 comments on Hacker News. - A protoc plugin data class generator that can be used as a substitute for existing Java protobuf classes that need to be constructed by a builder (which isn't very kotlin-ish). - generates coroutine service base and stubs that use the generated classes as request/response types, allowing you to completely avoid using Java classes. - Since it also generates converter extension functions between the generated types and Java types, you can still easily use protobuf-specific features such as serialization. - Additionally provides Kotlin-specific features (optional fields as nullable, oneof fields as sealed classes).
