Show HN: Lemon Slice Live – Have a video call with a transformer model 80 by lcolucci | 37 comments on Hacker News. Hey HN, this is Lina, Andrew, and Sidney from Lemon Slice. We’ve trained a custom diffusion transformer (DiT) model that achieves video streaming at 25fps and wrapped it into a demo that allows anyone to turn a photo into a real-time, talking avatar. Here’s an example conversation from co-founder Andrew: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeYp5xQMFZY . Try it for yourself at: https://ift.tt/FdaOU2t . (Btw, we used to be called Infinity AI and did a Show HN under that name last year: https://ift.tt/yjOFfvP .) Unlike existing avatar video chat platforms like HeyGen, Tolan, or Apple Memoji filters, we do not require training custom models, rigging a character ahead of time, or having a human drive the avatar. Our tech allows users to create and immediately video-call a custom character by uploading a single image. The character image can be any style - from photorealistic to...

Show HN: Morphik – Open-source RAG that understands PDF images, runs locally 12 by Adityav369 | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hey HN, we’re Adi and Arnav. A few months ago, we hit a wall trying to get LLMs to answer questions over research papers and instruction manuals. Everything worked fine, until the answer lived inside an image or diagram embedded in the PDF. Even GPT‑4o flubbed it (we recently tried O3 with the same, and surprisingly it flubbed it too). Naive RAG pipelines just pulled in some text chunks and ignored the rest. We took an invention disclosure PDF ( https://ift.tt/ecsLo6h... ) containing an IRR‑vs‑frequency graph and asked GPT “From the graph, at what frequency is the IRR maximized?”. We originally tried this on gpt-4o, but while writing this used the new natively multimodal model o4‑mini‑high. After a 30‑second thinking pause, it asked for clarifications, then churned out buggy code, pulled data from the wrong page, and still couldn’t answer the question. We wrote ...

Show HN: Too Many Business Ideas? stop choosing, launch all of them, FAST&FREE 7 by AzizBelAbed | 10 comments on Hacker News. Hey HN, If you're like me, you have more startup ideas than free time, but turning those ideas into actual products often feels impossible. Coming up with a name, validating the idea, making a logo, and building even a basic landing page can take weeks of work...for just one idea. I built StarterPilot to fix that. It's an AI-powered tool that drastically shrinks the time from idea to launch, so you can test all your ideas, not just the one you bet the farm on. With StarterPilot you can: Validate ideas instantly: Get quick feedback on market demand, scalability, competitors, and risk. Generate unique startup names: See which domains and social handles are available. Create a custom logo/icon: Get a logo tailored to your business. Build a landing page, fast: Generate (and edit) a professional-looking landing page with AI chat. It’s web-based—no inst...

This is my first Zig project intended for learning the ropes on publishing a Zig package. It turns out to be quite solid and performant. It might be a bit over-engineered. This little library is packed with the following features: - Building dependency graph from dependency data. - Performing topological sort on the dependency graph. - Generating dependence-free subsets for parallel processing. - Cycle detection and cycle reporting.
