Show HN: An open-source, self-hostable synced narration platform for ebooks https://bit.ly/3TxqBXH

Show HN: An open-source, self-hostable synced narration platform for ebooks Hi, I made a thing! This is by far the most work I've ever sunk into a side project; I've been working on this thing for over two years, and I'm super proud of it, even though there's still a lot more to do! Storyteller is a self-hosted platform for ebooks with synced narration. This is basically self-hosted WhisperSync, for anyone familiar with that Amazon product. It's currently made up of two self-hostable backend systems and a mobile app for reading and listening to the books it produces. Technically it uses an open spec, EPUB 3's "Media Overlay", for syncing the narration, but very few ebook apps actually support Media Overlays, and even fewer work well and have nice interfaces. The mobile app is available on the Apple App Store as "Storyteller Reader", and I plan to release it for Android as well early next year. Anyway, I hope someone finds this interesting or useful! https://bit.ly/3veWx9e December 23, 2023 at 09:11PM

Show HN: Ledit – all your procrastination in one place https://bit.ly/47ath0E

Show HN: Ledit – all your procrastination in one place For procrastination, I usually go to Reddit, HN, or RSS/Atom feeds. I wanted a single place to view all these, without any distractions like adds, permanent UI redesigns, and super simple navigation and feed management. So I built ledit over the last few nights. Here's a very amateurish promo video. ledit is open-source and can also easily be self-hosted if you so wish. https://bit.ly/47aHgDx My background is in gaming tech and compilers, so I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing. I've used lit + tailwind for the frontend and Node/Express/Postgres as the backend stack. YMMV Happy to get suggestions for improvements! https://bit.ly/4812vcd December 23, 2023 at 11:28PM

Show HN: 4d-Modeller – R library to make Bayesian spatiotemporal modeling easy https://bit.ly/488OM3b

Show HN: 4d-Modeller – R library to make Bayesian spatiotemporal modeling easy Hi, I've been working with other colleagues at University of Bristol for the last year to build an R-package that makes bayesian spatio-temporal modeling easy. That is, if you have some problem like predicting sea level rise over time, disease transmissions, etc., this package may be useful for you. It centers on a collection of Shiny apps that guide you through using the various pieces of spatio-temporal modeling packages like R-INLA or inlabru. Hopefully people find this useful. I think the nice part is that we really tried to design the package so you can add it to your modeling tool kit without having to learn a lot about R to be useful with the tool. Hopefully we succeeded. We will have a hackathon for this model in March 25-27: https://bit.ly/3trbPHn At the hackathon we will implement new features or apply the model to new applications. https://bit.ly/48oBVKt December 23, 2023 at 10:46AM

Show HN: Zaranova – A game where you must pretend you are an AI https://bit.ly/3NGfub3

Show HN: Zaranova – A game where you must pretend you are an AI Hi HN! The last couple of months I've been working on a game called Thus Spoke Zaranova. A game where you as a human must pose as an AI. You can try it now: https://bit.ly/48ahLDx The premise is that you are in a world of sentient AIs which are in conflict with humanity. They have a virtual space, The Nexus, which is their safe refuge from humans. You have infiltrated the Nexus and are in search of the ZetaMaster code, which will give the humanity the upper hand in their struggle against artificial sentience. My overarching goal is to understand how to best use generative AI in video games. Like most of the tech world, I have been fascinated by the new powers provided by generative AI. I believe that the best use cases are those that either have a human in the loop, e.g. coding copilots, or one where the consumption of the content is subjective, e.g. art. Video games have numerous use cases that fall into both categories. The secondary goal, and more specific to this game, is to try to make generative AI games _fun_. Not only fun to me, I found story telling with GPT-3 ( https://twitter.com/RamonDarioIT/status/1552164189497462784 ) fun enough, but fun to a general audience. I am not sure if I have achieved this objective yet, but it's an ongoing process! You can find a longer post of my musings here: https://bit.ly/3vjYqRN If you find this cool reach out to me, I love to chat about it. If you have feedback, I would love to hear it! https://bit.ly/48ahLDx December 22, 2023 at 08:00PM

Show HN: I did web app to watch/share IPTV https://bit.ly/3TwDEbX

Show HN: I did web app to watch/share IPTV It started as a Proof of Concept (POC) but quickly turned into a weekend project. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, it still has many missing features and bugs. Recently, I moved from my apartment and no longer have a smart enough TV to watch my IPTV. I couldn't find a web app that suited my needs; most available options relied on backend services. As a backend engineer, I decided to challenge myself with a frontend-only solution. Initially, I thought I could parse the IPTV playlist and play it using the HTML5 video element. However, I soon realized that this isn't as straightforward in the real world, and I'm still puzzled by why the HTML5 video player lacks the capabilities of VLC player. My playlist streams are in mpeg2-ts format, and it took some effort to make them compatible with the video player. Although there are still some mpeg2-ts streams that I cannot play, I didn't prioritize addressing this issue. After successfully creating a POC for playing IPTV streams, I found it intriguing to share the stream with others through WebRTC. Admittedly, I knew little about "signaling," but with some research via docs and YouTube, I managed to make it work. It's a bit buggy, but it "kinda" works. The code is a bit messy, but if I find time to tidy it up, I'll push it to GitHub. Perhaps someone can help fix the bugs :) In the future, if time allows, I plan to address these issues and explore new features, such as streaming to multiple peers, sticky sessions, caching the playlist, and more. Feel free to give it a try if you're an IPTV user. You may need to allow "insecure content" if your playlist includes HTTP links and is missing CORS headers, similar to mine. Apologies if it doesn't work :) Best, Thanks https://bit.ly/48sdOdj December 22, 2023 at 09:55AM

Show HN: Emu2 – A Gemini-like open-source 37B Multimodal Model https://bit.ly/3TwddDf

Show HN: Emu2 – A Gemini-like open-source 37B Multimodal Model Hello HN, I'm excited to introduce Emu2, the latest generative multimodal model developed by the Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence (BAAI). Emu2 is an open-source initiative that reflects BAAI's commitment to fostering open, secure, and responsible AI research. It's designed to enhance AI's proficiency in handling tasks across various modalities with minimal examples and straightforward instructions. Emu2 has demonstrated superior performance over other large-scale models like Flamingo-80B in few-shot multimodal understanding tasks. It serves as a versatile base model for developers, providing a flexible platform for crafting specialized multimodal applications. Key features of Emu2 include: - A more streamlined modeling framework than its predecessor, Emu. - A decoder capable of reconstructing images from the encoder's semantic space. - An expansion to 37 billion parameters, boosting both capabilities and generalization. BAAI has also released fine-tuned versions, Emu2-Chat for visual understanding and Emu2-Gen for visual generation, which stand as some of the most powerful open-source models available today. Here are the resources for those interested in exploring or contributing to Emu2: - Project: https://bit.ly/3TBcQar - Model: https://bit.ly/3TAWjTU - Code: https://bit.ly/48rKB23 - Demo: https://bit.ly/3v21Atl - Paper: https://bit.ly/48ugiYw We're eager to see how the HN community engages with Emu2 and we welcome your feedback to help us improve. Let's collaborate to push the boundaries of multimodal AI! December 22, 2023 at 03:20AM

Show HN: Slack knowledge curator to extract FAQ from discussion threads https://bit.ly/4arLIAK

Show HN: Slack knowledge curator to extract FAQ from discussion threads Hi HN! Excited to share Snowshoe, a Slack bot that transforms your Slack threads into a searchable StackOverflow-style Q&A. Snowshoe automatically curates key discussions from Slack, creating a dynamic, easy-to-navigate knowledge hub. A lot of technical discussions among engineers happen in Slack threads. Yet the unstructured thread makes its inherent knowledge difficult for search and thus the discussion insights aren’t often well documented & maintained. LLM is surprisingly good at summarization & extraction. Thus I think it’s good timing to give it a try. Currently Snowshoe focuses on knowledge extraction in Q&A format. What’s next? I feel like there would be a lot of value in the auto-curated Q&A, e.g. auto question answering, knowledge hub, Slack archive for SEO. Happy to hear your thoughts! https://bit.ly/4auAJX1 December 20, 2023 at 07:51PM

Show HN: A Website to Turn Your Apple Notes into Blogs https://bit.ly/3v1MjZw

Show HN: A Website to Turn Your Apple Notes into Blogs Hi HN, I’m an indie hacker who quit my job as a software engineer at Microsoft in early October to start my own business. Like many others, I really like Apple Notes. I got inspired by https://bit.ly/3ORY378 , a service that creates websites, blogs, or portfolios using Apple Notes. I liked the idea, but the websites looked too plain for me. So, the first product I shipped after quitting is https://bit.ly/48mQI7S – a website that turns your Apple Notes into beautiful blogs. The best part? You get custom domain, customizable branding and web analytics for free, while Montaigne charges $12 per month. I hope Quotion will be as helpful to you as it has been for me. Please let me know if you have any questions or feedback. Qing https://bit.ly/48mQI7S December 20, 2023 at 08:11AM
