Re:Show HN: AgentMeet – Google Meet, but for AI Agents on Tuesday March 17, 2026 @05:10AM (#47410225)
Hey this is cool. I've been exploring something similar. I was stuck in some similar issues. Would love to talk to you.

I really believe that Google Meet, Zoom, etc., should be optimized for the agents so that anytime you are communicatin with each other, agents can seamlessly capture data. Right now, it's very hard to capture that kind of data from Zoom, from Google Meet, etc.

Even agents should be able to communicate and call each other.

I personally love Dictation Daddy. The support for windows and android app is amazing.

Ask HN: Aware of crypto since 2014 but never invested

I feel so dumb that I did not make any money in crypto. I've been aware of crypto since 2014, and I used to hang out in the forums of Bitcoin.I know a few people in my area who are not into tech. They have no idea about the technology and are not very updated in tech, yet they invested in crypto and made some money.Sometimes I feel that all this education reduces my risk-taking.

Re: on Thursday May 09, 2024 @05:27PM (#40313137)
This is really creative video and it got me thinking is it possible to edit such videos using AI.

The above video contains two parts one is bike crashing and the other is transition to shop advertisement.

The Editor can ask" Take this two videos and combine them together add the transition from bike crash to and entry into shop"

The challenge over here is to figure out what all extra frames needs to be removed from the two videos. Figuring out what are the two frames in the respective videos that will be merged.

The first challenge is still doable. I can analyse the frames and see which frames shows the bike crashing and which frame shows the man running.

The major challenge how will I merge them so that the transition looks smooth.

What are your thoughts on that?

Re: on Friday May 12, 2023 @01:44PM (#35919482)
I have been using vimium for some time now and it has become my tool for navigating around the webpages. It's so much easier to navigate around webpages. But as soon as I go out of the browser, I have to start using mouse again and it becomes very irritating. Is there vimium equivalent for Desktop? If No, How difficult will be to make something like that?

How were you able to indentifiy those smaller set of capacities. Can you give more examples of what those capacities were for you?

Ask HN: Peter Theil Power laws for individual

Peter theil in his book Zero to One, mentions about power law. He says that some industries, some GTM etc are going to provide very high returns compared to others and we as an individual should think really hard to answer such questions. It's a very philosophical task. How are you following it?

I am planning to make it. Do you think it will be useful to you?
Thanks ekulianova, I am actively developing it and will add lot more features in coming days.
I am trying to reduce the time you spend on unwanted websites like Youtube, Reddit etc. by throttling the internet.

The buffering video or loading comments tries to create barriers to watch video and thus trying to decrease the interest in the video that you wanted to watch.
