$40/mo for deepseek r1 seems steep compared to a pro sub on open ai /claude unless you run 24x7. im not sure how sharing is making this affirdable.

Show HN: DeskMic a Rust based hyper-light continuous transcriber/AI summarizer

I hate missing key action items/brainstorming ideas at work and always regret not having recorded notes from meetings. Now I built an always on rust based tool that continuously transcribes and summarizes all meetings and sends previous day/weeks summary to my inbox.

Did a little bit of analysis on outage trends. Tl;dr: there has been an increase in outages since 2019 owing primarily to the increased feature surface areas (Codespace, Actions, Copilot) and higher usage in the AI era.

The only thing I would disagree with in this is the RO water. RO has a very high waste ratio: one is to three, or at best one is to one i.e that is dumping out three gallons of water just to get one gallon of drinking water.
