I was hoping there would be some whacky embedding in 2.5D space for this, but it just seems randomly assigned.

A lot of AI agent swarm management is being automated. People keep pitching these to me with a straight face.

This is covered in the plot of Terminator 2. The liquid metal tries really hard.

yes! I learned React first, and then Svelte. Svelte seems to have all the benefits without any of the React abstractions that are more pain than they’re worth.

It's simpler. The verbosity, the line of code count, is what has gotten people excited about it. So everyone optimizes for verbosity.

You're thinking of making a manual annotation front-end to add the action points as determined by refs?

We could make a license plate big enough that aliens could see it and know we are sophisticated.

Which sports are you into? I'll be looking for closed alpha testers shortly. Email me at dustin at hyperpan.cv

Automatically drawing hint lines has been a request from a few people. When I talk to personal trainers or athletes (new or serious) in various sports, I've tested out this concept by asking them what they'd want drawn. Turns out, it's so contextual, opinionated and subjective, I don't think there's a great approach unless I assume we have an unrealistic amount of context.

e.g., one case is kettlebell swings. You might want to see how consistent your swings are in a set, and between sets. To do this well, you'd need to reliably detect the kettlebell swing exercise using some N-way classifier. And then, correct for camera position. And then, center the relevant part of the body (is this shoulder? hips? turns out people have different opinions).

Instead, we're going to use a more generic visualization approach that doesn't try to be opinionated. But, I'm expecting to open-source the visualization front-end so it's tweakable by users.

Input: video of an exercise/workout/dance. Output: single collage image as summary.

Me+team have been working on a large scope problem this past year. We're hardening some of our internal tools, and choose this small-scope problem about a month ago. Results have been encouraging so far, though not yet non-sloppy enough to share. We'll release in about a month.

Going into this, I thought I'd be spending most of my time tuning computer vision. Instead, the majority of the time has been handling codec and ffmpeg behaviour edge cases.

Oh man, this sounds fun. But, the button is stuck at "Loading" and never completes. Is HN hugging it to death?

When I worked at Meta, in the NYC office, any time I had 2-3 hours midday without meetings, I'd use it for errands.

I’ve been paying Claude in cash by showing it a picture of $5 bills as I burn them. It says my account is good.

I can't believe we got the dumbest version of Snow Crash
