Show HN: Build Google Meet AI assistant app without coding
My name is Bobur, AI/ML Engineer and Developer Advocate at Pathway.

I have recently created a project to demonstrate how to develop an AI app with almost no code using Unbody and Appsmith. I used Unbody to transform Google Meet video recordings in Google Drive into AI assistant summaries with action items. Unbody enables knowledge delivery via GraphQL API so that I can visualize the output with Appsmith's low-code UI builder. I think this showcase is beneficial for those with limited AI development experience one can develop AI assistant apps without extensive both backend and front-end coding. Here is the link to the full tutorial:

Let me know what you think. Thanks!

The most common use I can think of is to align your classes to the schema of your database. Entity Framework uses that (the C# equivalent is called T4 or TTTT).
I am proud for not being part of those stats. :)

This is an amazing project!

Could there also be something like a comparison view of devices and models where you can see overlapped timelines when support ended (e.g. in the past vs now?)

Also, something like repairability scores from e.g. ifixit would be amazing to integrate.

Whenever I am looking for devices, I am also on the lookout for whether or not a third party OS has upstream support for it at the time of buying (e.g. LineageOS or postmarketOS wiki) because the device isn't "just a dead thing" when there's an OS available that you can flash on it.
I think it was Chubby they did that with.
The whole "the internet is a Dark Forest" hypothesis is kinda moot if you have industrial-strength floodlights like Certificate Transparency inbetween.
Are they getting "squeezed" by Steam? That would imply there is pressure coming from Valve, but the pressure to use Steam is coming from customers.

I'd say that Steam is a great service that customers love and demand that game developers provide, and the 30% fee is the price of that service.

I know that in my own case I've bought games on Steam that were available cheaper elsewhere, or even given away for free on EGS.

And the attempts at creating alternatives have all been unable to create a good alternative. (Except perhaps Good Old Games, which stands out by being DRM-free.)

> That's why supermarkets are reshuffling stores so frequently.

Normal supermarkets in the US very rarely do this.

Walmart, Safeway, Whole Foods, HEB and all others I frequently shopped beyond Costco explicitly had very stable layouts.

It was literally a topic of news in my neighborhood when one of them rearranged for a remodel.
If Apple was previously more accommodating to law enforcement requests than legally required to be, then surely they can update their internal response threshold to reflect minimum necessary compliance.

Coinbase is famously expensive at ~5-10%. I use them but not for transferring much. Bitpay and Cash App are some 1-3%. When I could use Bitcoin with Overstock.com it was also minimal. But whenever bitcoin is trading heavily, it's not worth the cost. Hey why not put some ads on the transaction.

i think its going to be a combination of three:

Fascinating. That seems like a profitable business almost.

The report is lacking a column that shows the total hours watched divided by the number of hours in this content. Some top shows by hour watched are telenovelas with 60 (!) 43min+ episodes per season. It would also give a much better place to movies vs series.
It was never considered.

If you want people to do good things, reward them when they do them and help them understand and improve when they don’t. Taking rewards away is counterintuitive to the goal of a net improvement.

Except nobody does. How many people got off their asses, came to the region and took a look with their own eyes? How many went to work for the NSA in the Palestinian department to understand what's actually going on? How many have spoken to both sides with open eyes and open minds, gathered all the actual evidence and testimonies, systematically categorized them, confronted liars with their proven lies, and so on, and formed a concrete opinion based on actual proper research?
That would help for sure, but you would soon reach the limit of how much at the same time our brains can process consistently and how large mental model we can still effectively use.

Why can't hamas surrender? Why would you grant hamas exception to basic actions such as laying down arms?

Of course hamas can surrender. It involves dropping weapons, raising hands, and submitting to the forces who have you out-gunned. That's how surrendering works.

Surrendering and releasing hostages would go a long way towards the peace that so many want.
Its still a work in progress.
https://github.com/DumbMachine/pbs/ to use a keyboard to interact with web. It's like vimium but tailored to my liking:

When I was a student I made a site that would parse our registrar's course listing and find all the currently empty rooms in your building. Together with its map you could use it to find a place to chill nearby you. If you were in a more curious mood it was a good way to find an interesting lecture to sneak into the back of as well.
For me it's the first browser that has made proper tab management stick. I have way too many tabs, in the middle of the day I often have 40+ per window. The combination of pinned tabs, tab renaming, folders, auto-expiry, sync, and spaces, just works well. They have in my opinion perfectly developed the spectrum from ephemeral pages you need once to pinned pages you always have open, with many levels of granularity along that spectrum.

The rest of the browser, not for me. They have a whiteboarding feature, not sure why a browser needs that. They have AI now because of course they do.

I enjoy using it at home. The day they decide to charge $20 a month because of the AI features is the day I switch back to Chrome.
Could be a very useful resource. There have been a couple of occasions when I've found it harder than it should be to find EOL information.

Of course sometimes there isn't any because many small projects have no official support cycle, but sometimes projects of significance, and even some commercial products, don't either. But sometimes there is and it isn't well documented (or sufficiently linked so it is hard to find).

Would you consider adding a timeline-like view, for instance pages listing everything due to go EOL or move between support categories (current, still under standard support, extended (full LTS), extended (limited, i.e. security only or common packages only)) this/next month/quarter/year? Those pages could be static and refreshed daily rather than needing resource to generate on each visit (filtering could be done client-side to allow more flexibility without extra server resource for dynamic generation). This could be done by a 3rd-party, but that might involve scraping the API/site in a way that imparts an unfriendly amount of load (unless I'm missing something, the data in the release-data repo doesn't contain everything that would be needed for this).
I did the same for both of our kids. For the first, I created a web app where you could +1 or -1 on all legal names. I even used the Web Speech API to read aloud the names, if you clicked them.

For the second kid, I created an iOS app using React Native (https://i.imgur.com/aaTqXAY_d.webp?maxwidth=760&fidelity=gra...) where you could swipe names Tinder-style.

We didn't use the apps to find _the_ names, but to get a narrowed down list we could pick from. The projects were fun and educational.

I have been working on a project that puts you moving around and in 4d objects in VR:

It's really crude at this point, but I am "close" (who knows, days, weeks or months, those last few issues may contain awesome rabbit holes...) to be able to publish next version that would have

- moving and rotations using vr controllers instead of keyboard which is a bit of pain in the ass

- double rotations

- javascript programmable 4d objects (by player, that is.) letting you to create your own dynamic 4d world where to move in.
> I'm sorry, but the US installing powers that are favorable to it is not a conspiracy theory. It's a conspiracy fact. How do you think Pinochet and others happened?

Yes, it was certainly a fact during the cold war however foreign policy is not static and changes pretty often. Even Iraq and to some extent Iraq (and certainly Afghanistan) didn't really fit the pattern that well. Considering that no other country benefited more from the US toppling Saddam than Iran did (considering it was a Shia majority state ruled by a Sunni minority, the inverse of Syria for instance).

The invasion of Afghanistan on the other hand was justifiable both on defensive and humanitarian grounds. While the aftermath was mostly botched, US had no interest in somehow subjugating it it long-term (IMHO imposing a "colonial" administration directly controlled by NATO/Western powers would've been the least bad option).

> more like Jordan or other arab states

None of them would ever accept that (after all Jordan willingly gave up the West Bank back in the 80s and I don't see why would they ever want to take it back even if Israel had no objections).

> (albeit in reality the US and others would intervene to stop them taking power).

Again before the US and other count stop it you need some regional powers who are willing to support this.

> X, it's because organization X is directly controlled by us or indirectly its incentives align well with our own.

At this point it seems to me that from the perspective of the US the middle east is more of a distraction. They don't have that many vital strategic interest in the region since US+Canada alone produce produce significantly more oil than all the Arab states combined.
I'd even argue that internet, while it was seen as a counter-balance to the ad infected tv and radio space, has become WORST than watching a TV.

If I want to show something on YT to my friend, and I don't know exactly which video is correct, well lots of luck to me to find it in first few tries, as EACH video I click on will first show me a two unskippable ads, no matter how short the video is
Steam do the same pseudo-ownership crap Sony have just been lambasted for. The cart page explicitly says 'purchase' but you have no right to sell, trade or lend them. Steam only reluctantly added refunds due to legal obligations and if you have a justified reason for a refund outside of the 2 hour/2 week window, you have to communicate with Google-esque customer service.

Years before Half Life: Alyx, Valve said they would never make single player games again. It made sense - TF2 was making silly money selling silly cosmetics. Presumably, the economics have now changed to make single-player viable again: any further player-base goodwill means a few more years of getting away with predatory BS.

> GM is now claiming that Apple CarPlay and Android Auto actually cause safety issues.

I remember when I first saw these in-cockpit infotainment mobile integrations deployed and thinking "man, that's dangerous". I have a car with physical buttons, and even then I struggle to dial numbers for example whilst driving.

> And when CarPlay and Android Auto have issues, drivers pick up their phones again, taking their eyes off the road and totally defeating the purpose of these phone-mirroring programs.

A number of times I have had to pull up at the side of the road just to get bluetooth music playing correctly. I dread to think how people solve that whilst driving. This software is for sure dangerously awful.

> Essentially, the thinking is that if a car’s in-built infotainment system is good enough, drivers will be less likely to use their phone for what they’re trying to do while they’re behind the wheel, — though Babbitt admits that GM hasn’t exactly tested this in a controlled setting to see whether or not it’s true.

My suggestion to GM would be not to compete in the same way. When driving you need a simple, clean, reliable interface. Nobody wants a steering wheel to change location or the numbers on the gear stick to randomly change.

Ignoring the private video on the web page [1]:

> Designed in-house by GM engineers, Ultifi has been designed with third-party developers in mind. It runs on Linux and the Red Hat in-vehicle operating system, allowing GM to grant access to external developers to create apps and programs for customers.

I really hope it's all sandboxed to the heavens with external monitoring (they'll probably want to re-write the OOM and scheduler to ensure their processes are always given priority). Don't make the same mistake as Tesla with logging to flash [2].

> And I'm asking you how exclusivity deals are more anti-consumer than exclusivity without deals.

The former are in Valve's control, the latter are not. Valve can't help it if they're the best in town and no one else is able to compete at their level.

> I don't understand your point though. Are you saying no one should compete with Steam because users will pirate the games?

My point is that Steam offers a better service than piracy, which is very hard for a digital storefront to compete with. They achieve this by being more than a storefront. The way they conduct business is reasonably open and any funded competitor could emulate their success over time with careful design and engineering. Part of that is being consumer-friendly and having an open culture.

> I don't think that's a good reason to give Steam a monopoly.

No one gives them a monopoly. I don't follow your argument here, because you seem to be suggesting that we should handicap Steam in some kind of Harrison Bergeron scenario.
Yes but it will no longer be in this body
Similar to others here, I've made way too many projects to count, but some of my recent favorites:

1. https://mapofthebest.com - Simplifies finding the best restaurants & bars around the world

2. https://barspro.com - Helps me identify the healthiest energy & protein bars

3. https://www.foodie.bot - Automatic restaurant reservation checker & booker

I'm starting to realize all my projects are food-related...
GDPR won't protect you from law enforcement, let alone intelligence agencies. The legal mechanisms these organizations use have broad carve outs from GDPR.

Before GDPR, there already were other protections against domestic three letter agency surveillance. As Snowden showed us, this was easily circumvented by getting UK to spy on US citizens instead and sending over the data (and vice versa).
Can you give me an example of a pricacy-respective ebook reader?

I recently bought a Kobo Nia, and then returned it because it required me to create an account before I could use it.

Afterwards I got a PocketBook Basic Lux 4. This I have been using without having had to create an account. I've also never connected it to any wifi. However, I have no way of knowing, without taking significant effort to investigate, whether it's not connecting to free wifi's and relaying back to home my books list etc..
The related concepts of Lagrange and Markov spectra have intrigued me since my student years; nowadays I study them using geometric methods in homogeneous dynamics, a strategy with roots in the 50s and 60s starting with W.Schmidt and brought to prominence by Dani, Margulis, Kazhdan and others.

I had the good fortune to be invited for lectures at Tata by Dani and Yale by Margulis, and I hope one day to reciprocate their kindness by proving something really strong about the objects they nurtured (something I have yet to achieve).

Edit: Unfortunately the Wikipedia page is very low on details about these beautiful subjects; if I find a nice, accessible survey, I will link it in a comment.

Dear hacker news community,
We would love to get your feedback on what is that one thing that you would like to change/improve in your current document signing solution?
Thank you for creating this.

We keep track of EOL dates in our internal wiki with links to various websites. Would be nice to reduce the scatter and just link to this site!

Would you accept Pull Requests that add server hardware EOS and EOL dates? They are especially hard to find and it would be great to have them in there as well!

Edit: I should have taken a look at open issues first, it seems there is tracking issue for network equipment so I guess adding server hardware is certainly not off the table (https://github.com/endoflife-date/endoflife.date/issues/1387).
Naive question, but when you sign up to pay for a service you are promised various functions or improvements, one of them is no-ads experience. If company then starts showing ads, isn't that breaking at least some consumer-protection laws?
> decent access to music on their phone, call capabilities that actually work, and program integration with things they actually use with internet service they already have.

I am convinced all of these things are unsafe. I refuse to take calls when driving over bluetooth; distracting yourself with a conversation when you're supposed to be driving is reckless and I think this is doubly true when it's a phone conversation (in which the other participant can't watch the road and know when to stop talking.)

Even music while driving is a nuisance. Nobody talks about the role of music in car accidents because almost everybody likes it, but it contributes to distracted driving and in some cases reckless driving. It encourages people to continue driving when they are mentally fatigued (take note of how many people say music "helps" them during long drives.)

GPS navigation on a screen is a bad idea too; your eyes cannot read a screen and watch the road at the same time. Pure voice navigation giving brief commands and updates is sufficient and relatively safe. Car integration isn't necessary at all; a phone placed in the center console with the volume turned up and the screen turned off gets the job done. If you need to make adjustments or read a text or take a call, pull over.

They're legends for the original Doom games, however Carmack definitely went off the rails with Doom 3. Although I actually like the kind of "break" in the series with a more traditional horror style game. The Doom concepts were all there in Doom 3 but they just ruined the pacing/feel of the combat.

Doom 2016 was only possible because Carmack was pushed out - apparently what his team was already assembling was absolutely terrible and they ousted him and essentially started from scratch, something I am super glad for, because Doom 2016 perfectly captures the same feeling as the OG Doom imo.

Makes me wonder, with Starfield recently, if Todd Howard needs to be ousted from Bethesda so that ESVI won't suck hard, or if their problem is more Zenimax related. I think it's a bit of both - they still desperately want to use their shitty, outdated Creation engine.
I mean I have one for wireless android auto and it does just work, it's plugged in, I never have to think about it or worry about it, it just pops up on my screen as if it was built into the car. Maybe the CarPlay ones are more fiddly, I'm not sure.
Exactly right. Good luck using a for-reference video where you have to seek around a lot to exactly the parts you need. Have fun watching the same two unskippable ads every time.

Meanwhile (on TV) my parents just record the shows they want and wind through the ad breaks that come up on a set schedule.
Hey all! I'm the author of gomponents, a mature and production-ready way to build server-side HTML components in pure Go.

I've seen a recent surge in interest for building simpler web apps by scraping away the SPAs, the frontend build systems, the complexity of modern web development, and going back to rendering HTML from the backend.

That doesn't mean throwing away all we've learned since the 90's, though. We can have nice components and browser-interactivity with tools like TailwindCSS and HTMX, and gomponents plays well with those. [1]

Have a look, leave a comment or question, and enjoy! :)
