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! https://ift.tt/2SWhbUA April 5, 2023 at 05:36AM

Trolley Topics was a new venture when it started in February 1946. As Svendsen wrote in the first issue it was created, “to bring a little fun, a little news, and a lot of good will to all our fellow employees in the Railway.” Just two years prior in 1944, Muni merged with the Market Street Railway Company, expanding the small municipal operation into the largest transit provider in the city with hundreds of employees, vehicles of every shape and size, and dozens of facilities scattered across town. The newsletter was meant to help unite ...
