You are allowed to create new scope members inside the expressions.
This lets you assign a filtered list to a new variable, which can be used throughout the local scope. With that, you can pass the length of the filtered list to ng-show:
<body ng-app>
<div ng-controller="Ctrl">
<div class="daily"
ng-repeat="daily in dailies | orderBy:'-date' "
ng-show="filteredEntries.length"
>
{{ daily.date | date:'dd/MM/y' }}
<div class="entry"
ng-repeat="entry in filteredEntries = (daily.entries | filter:{ category: 'B'})"
>
<span>{{ entry.category }}</span>, <span>{{ entry.note }}</span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>

Btw, nicely put question!
