Great solution!

but...

Error Daily processing limit reached. Please try again tomorrow.


Sorry you hit this. 100 papers were processed today. Cost to me was $63.


Make this a paid service! This could go viral


Very nice of you to say.


Does this work in different languages?


Not in its current form but it is remarkably easy to get it to do so. The program that I am using for voice cloning accepts a language code param and you would just pass the translated transcript (which wouldn't be too hard to do in gemini).

I will add that as a feature! Thank you!


Ok, put in Portuguese and Spanish, please.


Done :) thanks again for this idea


Thanks, bro. I will test soon.


Come on guys, 2026 and you still using "blacklist". Why not BlockList?


Because changing blacklist to blocklist, master to main, etc. is a meaningless act of virtue signalling.


I'd argue it's not meaningless because the point wasn't to show inclusion but power. Nobody went for master's degrees, "master" as a rank in video games, or anything else.

Reminds me of [1]twitch.tv trying to remove "blind playthrough" as a tag to encourage inclusive language.

GitHub changed the default branch name from master to main.


So what? Your proposal is to change nothing, continue as is, and subtly continue using terms like "blacklist" as something bad and "whitelist" as something good... I don't think I understand your point. I don't see any real sense in it.

Unfortunately, MANY people still think this is nonsense and shouldn't be given attention. What you don't understand is that you subtly say that things from Black people are bad and things from white people are good. Do you know what that causes in the end?

A company "of Black people" applies for YC and has a higher chance of being rejected than a company of/for white people, even if it's a necessary solution. You doubt it? Try it!


No, I'm not proposing to change nothing, continue as is, nor do I use coded language to express my secret inner racism.

I'm saying that changing words like "blacklist" or "master" is purely performative and actually quite selfish. People do it to feel good about themselves for "helping" without actually having to do anything helpful. It's the moral equivalent of sending "thoughts and prayers".


I'm not saying that those who use these terms are racist. I'm saying that language evolves. If there are equivalent technical alternatives that don't carry a history of oppression, why not use them? It costs nothing and can make the environment more inclusive. This doesn't replace concrete actions, but it also doesn't prevent them from happening.

If changing a word is "purely performative," then keeping it is also purely performative. The difference is that one choice preserves a metaphor of domination and the other does not. Technology is made of choices. This is one too.


> I'm saying that language evolves.

That means I won't bother fighting changes that became established before I was born. I most definitely doesn't mean I have to go along with every change I see proposed now.

> If there are equivalent technical alternatives that don't carry a history of oppression

Words are not oppression.


No one chose to be born in a certain context. But everyone participates in the context that they continue to feed or transform.

Do you recognize that you live in a system that produces racial inequality today?

If the answer is yes, then there is some level of participation, albeit minimal. Because living in a structure is already being inside it.

If you are white, your ancestors did this. They created separation and made simple words dehumanize people. So yes, you and everyone else has a chance to make amends. The choice is yours.


> It costs nothing

It cost time and coding work to make the change.


Whatever the cost! You spend money on trivial things, why not on important things?


I do use "blocklist" on new project and name my main "trunk" and not "master" but I'll both a) defend other's rights to use terms like blocklists and master and b) call out the virtue signalling ones who are trying to push a political agenda by trying to control thoughts (by attempting to control speech).


There's no political interest here. (Although I believe EVERYTHING is political, including not taking a stand!)

The only point I'm making is that (as a Black person) I have the authority to tell you that it's important and how I feel. You can defend whatever you want, I'm just communicating and SUGGESTING that you change the term.

What I find funny is that many here argue that we can't even SUGGEST. And they still say they're in favor of democracy. Oh, okay!


As another black person (3rd gen Ghanaian, sp), you can get lost, and you have no 'authority' (really?) at all to tell me/ others how you feel.

Blacklist it is, for me.

Eu-based, fwiw. As i grew up we were coloUred, for a while, and then 'black' became the easy way to descibe ourselves.


Now we just need scientists to agree on something other than black hole.


What is the color of the black hole?


Is this just a way to process the color of images so we can see them better in RMPP?

If so, I found it very laborious. But I understand those who complain; the colors really have a LOT of room for improvement.


I liked but I didn't found any demo/picture of the tool. Could you show any?


Sorry, I found it on a link on the Github project page.


It's time for you Americans to wake up. You're supporting the wrong things!

National sovereignty is a fundamental principle of international law and cannot be selectively applied according to the interests of global powers. Donald Trump’s threats and aggressive rhetoric toward Venezuela undermine this principle by treating a nation’s self-determination as negotiable. Criticizing this stance does not mean endorsing the Venezuelan government, but acknowledging that sanctions, intimidation, and external pressure rarely affect political elites and instead harm ordinary people, deepening humanitarian crises.

Latin American history reveals a recurring pattern of foreign interference framed as the defense of democracy. From a moral standpoint, collective punishment and imposed solutions are indefensible. If such actions would be unacceptable when directed at the United States, they cannot be justified against Venezuela. A responsible international approach requires multilateral dialogue, international mediation, and genuine respect for the sovereignty of nations.


Forget it, man. Gringos just don't give a shit. You're preaching to the wind.

Do you know what will work? Money.

We need to increase our trade with China.

Latin America needs to stop depending on the U.S. and China is a golden opportunity.


Sometimes the wind is smarter than some of them.


To speak of Black love is not just to speak of romance. It's to speak of history, of survival, and of everything that has been denied to us throughout time. For Black people, love has never been simple. Amidst silences, symbolic and affective violence, we learn early on to distrust affection, to protect ourselves even before feeling it.

This text is born from this sensitive place. From the recognition that fear doesn't arise from nothing; it is taught, inherited, and reinforced. Fear of surrendering, of being rejected, of not being enough. Fear of loving and, above all, of being loved.

“Who's Afraid of Black Love?” is not an accusation, it's an invitation. An invitation to reflection, to care, and to courage. Courage to face our wounds, to question imposed narratives, and to claim the right to live more just, light, and whole relationships.

Because Black love exists. It resists, heals, and flourishes. And perhaps the greatest revolutionary act is precisely this: allowing oneself to love without apologizing for who one is.


I really think you didn't do anything interesting in this post. This is because you need to authenticate to log in via OTP, and from that point on (with your IP and everything else) the system knows that it released this data specifically for you.

Even if you had managed to log in without authenticating, all users know that by uploading images there, they become public. It's worth noting that the coordinates of each user were not sent to you in the response, only those of users who are relatively close.

In short... using a dating app means knowing that you are in a public environment, just like going to a shopping mall, party, park...


I get what you’re saying, but I think you’re missing the point. Yes, the app needs OTP to log in, and yes, uploaded images are technically public—but what I was showing is different: once you’re authenticated, there’s basically no access control on user images. That’s not about OTP or being in a “public environment”; it’s a backend flaw. Anyone with minimal scripting can access all user photos without any extra checks.

Also, even if the API only gives “distance,” you can still roughly triangulate someone’s location within 200 meters, which I demonstrated. The post isn’t about blaming users—it’s about showing how sensitive data is exposed by design, which is a real privacy risk.
