Show HN: Nothing, Forever – a streaming, AI-generated, always-on television show
3 by skytrue | 2 comments on Hacker News.
Hey everybody, we're finally launching our always-on, generative show -- Nothing, Forever -- streaming on Twitch. Nothing, Forever is a parody of '90s sitcoms, done in the style of '90s point-and-click PC games (but, you know, in 3D). We set out to build something weird, new, and novel, and this is what we ended up with. Aside from the artwork and the laugh track you'll hear, everything else is generative, including: dialogue, speech, direction (camera cuts, character focus, shot length, scene length, etc), character movement, and music. Nothing, Forever is built using a combination of machine learning, generative algorithms (we use 'generative' here in a non-academic sense), and cloud services. Our stack is mostly comprised of Python + TensorFlow for our ML models, TypeScript + Azure Functions and Heroku for our backend, and C# + Unity for the client, with some neural voice APIs thrown into the mix. Heading into the future, we plan to leverage OpenAI's davinci models for our dialogue -- we actually have an integration already, but the cost is too prohibitive to run full time -- as well as leveraging Stable Diffusion for art generation. We're launching an experimental media lab, https://ift.tt/j72DYo5 along with the show, for follow-up projects in the future. Feel free to reach out to me personally if you have any questions or want to discuss more, skyler at mismatchmedia dotcom.

Show HN: Mini Christmas Trees with addressable LEDs and RP2040-based controller
2 by ed_ | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hello HN, these Mini Trees have a custom circuit board with WS2812 addressable LEDs on one side and a controller using an RP2040 microcontroller on the other, all inside a CNC'd Foamex PVC case. They stand around 23cm (9") tall. The firmware is written in MicroPython, which can be modified or replaced. Power is provided via USB-C, which is also used for programming. There is also a web-based animation sequencer to create lighting sequences in time to arbitrary audio, examples of which are on the linked page. This is similar to xLights ( https://xlights.org/ ), but much less powerful, and we hope to release firmware to interface directly with xLights soon. My colleague and I started kicking the idea for these around after making some custom circuit boards for another project, and thought we'd have a go at making smaller versions of some much larger exhibits we had made using 12 volt WS1812 bullet pixels. I hope you enjoy them, Merry Christmas!

Show HN: SecretKeeper – The Secure, Free iOS Password Manager
2 by pharaohgeek | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hi all! I was very disappointed that my favorite password managers for iOS went to a subscription-only model, so I decided to take matters into my own hands. SecretKeeper is a FREE password manager for iOS, allowing you to safely store all of your passwords, banking information, etc. behind a single master password (or Touch ID/Face ID). All of your data is encrypted on-device, and is NEVER shared with a third-party. With SecretKeeper, you can easily auto-fill passwords in Safari, too! I'm still making enhancement to it, so don't hesitate to make suggestions if there are features you'd like to see!

Show HN: Py-obsidianmd, a Python library for Obsidian users
2 by srbd | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hello Hacker News, This message is relevant to those of you who use [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/) for personal knowledge management. py-obsidianmd is a python library that enables you to change your notes’ metadata in batch. You can also easily move your metadata between the frontmatter and inline notation (dataview style). Checkout: - the presentation video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRPBAKiu37Y - github repository: https://ift.tt/MwB6Ygl - example usage: https://ift.tt/9Y4WNcr It has saved me a lot of time, and made me free to experiment with how I handle my knowledge base’s metadata. I hope it can also be useful to others in the community ! Let me know if you have any feedback. Cheers,
