https://www.twitch.tv/watchmeforever - AI-generated (aside from the artwork) parody of '90s sitcoms, running forever (24/7/365). We worked on this w/ a very small team for the past four years, in-between our day jobs. When started, OpenAI didn't have an API, and Stable Diffusion definitely wasn't a thing, so we had to come up with novel methods to thread cohesive content together. Most of the "creative" details e.g.,…

I love this, I think I might leave it running while I fall asleep, instead of my normal audiobook-or-podcast :)

:D, awesome! Our vision for this was actually just that — second screen content, not necessarily the primary thing you have on, so we love to hear that!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

This is rad. I'd love to see it updated with current data. I've tried to bet on MMA with mixed results, but ultimately tried to find a data driven approach to place wagers. My approach would net me tons of open browser tabs trying to track down stats about each fighter :( I really like what you've done.

Thanks I really appreciate that. MMA (UFC specifically) is still wide open to advantage betting because lines are often highly narrative-based. Data itself WRT to MMA is often misleading though for so many reasons (e.g., low quality of opponents presenting a skewed perception of fighter ability). However, looking at specific things is often quite useful. The submission charts section of the site was particularly usef…

I've done (by my own definition) quite a lot to scrape and analyze NCAAF and NFL games in order to identify trends for sports betting. I'm somewhere between your average sports bettor versus a data scientist, probably closer to the former.

Let me know if you'd ever like to connect. It would be cool to expand my network of people in this area.

How is it animated?

It’s prefabricated 3D models, rendered through a game engine. We do some specific things to make it look how it does.

I created Scheme for Max and Scheme for Pure Data. They are extensions to the Max/MSP, Ableton Live, and Pure Data computer music environments that embed an s7 Scheme interpreter in the host so that you can script, automate, and live code the hosts with s7, a Scheme from the CCRMA computer music center at Stanford and the same one used in the Snd editor and the Common Music 3 algorithmic composition environment. This…

Once or twice a year I get a computer music itch. I've never been able to find a tool that really fits what I'm looking for, and have been entirely unsuccessful making my own tools. This looks exactly like what I've been looking for. Thanks for sharing!

hey that's great! Happy to answer any questions on either the github discussion forum or the email list.

https://mmabetsharp.com A website to help make informed bets on the UFC. It presents a lot of relevant data if you're serious about MMA sports betting. I made this during the pandemic and tried to promote it through Reddit and Twitter, but it mostly fell flat and ran out of steam. I only scratched the surface of what I intended here. The data on the site is a bit outdated since neither I nor anyone has used it in a w…

Could see this applying to the upcoming market in chess betting. Good luck!

It didn't flop, but awhile back I created https://findkismet.com to help introduce HN users to each other. We sure could use an influx of new users! It's free and has cost me more to run than it has ever made in revenue.

Was there a revenue model though? It seems like it's just free?

https://www.newsy.co My modern day take on domain parking. I used to have ~50 domains just sitting there doing nothing. Got sick of it. Didn't want to do ugly domain parking pages, but also didn't have time to develop them. I wanted something useful and something that still offered value. Newsy creates an automated content aggregator (think of Reddit but automated) for your domain based on the keywords you describe.…

This is a great idea and I've set it up with one of my own "I'll eventually do something with this" domains.

Do you have any case studies on the levels of success people have with your service, especially with regards to monetisation?

About 8 years ago I created a GIMP plugin to read Terry Davis' (creator of TempleOS) custom image files to convert them to bitmaps, and vice-versa. I didn't know anything about the .bmp file format, or how to create a GIMP plugin. I wrote a blog post detailing the creation and discovery process. I contacted Terry Davis throughout to ask for help and feedback, and he was helpful and appreciative. It was interesting and rewarding to interact with him and learn a bit about his operating system. I was sad when he passed.

I’m an introvert – made an app to help maintain connections with people. Landing page is at https://communiqai.com and it's also on the Play Store at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dev.mtc.ga . CommuniqAI is an intelligent tool for scheduling and automating SMS text messages, calls and email. It’ll help you stay in touch with those who mean the most to you—and it’ll be there for you through life’s many…

I'd use this but alas I'm on iOS at the minute.

https://log-store.com - Going for a low-cost alternative to Splunk. Everyone seems to love Splunk, except for the price. My goal is to replicate 75% or so of the most-used features, but at a dramatically reduced price (currently free). I tried asking on here what those features are, but it flopped: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34412176
