Did the US have any magazines that could compete with Canada's "The Transactor"?

Ask HN: Is there currently a Linux compatible kernel being written in Rust?

Hacker News - Tue, 09/10/2024 - 7:37pm

Given all the brouhaha surrounding the stonewalling of efforts to support rust in the Linux kernel, are there any alternatives being written in rust?

Show HN: Semantic Bookmark Manager

Hacker News - Tue, 09/10/2024 - 7:27pm

Hi Hacker News,

I would like to share my new side project: the Semantic Bookmark Manager. This web application is designed to help users manage and semantically search for their bookmarks using the RAG technique.

Traditional bookmark managers can become quite disorganized and difficult to navigate as they grow. This tool offers a solution by eliminating the need for manual categorization, therefore simplifying the overall user experience.

It is open-source under MIT license

Thank you for your attention, and I hope you find it useful :)

Launch: Gauss-Engine v1 – Text-to-Human Motion Without Mujoco

Hacker News - Tue, 09/10/2024 - 7:19pm

We’re excited to introduce Gauss-Engine, a groundbreaking AI-native physics engine that allows creators to generate lifelike human motion from text prompts—without the need for Mujoco. Imagine designing complex interactions like walking, jumping, or even acrobatics, all while maintaining real-world physics accuracy.

Gauss-Engine leverages advanced techniques like hierarchical motion representation to capture fine details and ensure precise control over movements. By progressively refining motion at multiple levels, we can achieve high fidelity without sacrificing flexibility. Additionally, we employ context-aware generation, where models condition on previous motion data to maintain consistency and stability in long, complex sequences. This ensures that the generated motions are fluid and realistic, even across extended interactions.

Our approach enables creators to define detailed, environment-aware movements using just text, offering unprecedented control and flexibility in motion design. As AI-native physics engines evolve, the future holds vast potential for more immersive experiences in gaming, VR, and robotics—driven by precise, real-time motion simulations.

Ready to experience the future of motion generation? Check it out the demo video here:

Ask HN: Will people lie about not using the AirPods Pro 2 hearing aid feature?

Hacker News - Tue, 09/10/2024 - 7:04pm

Maybe they will even say that they wear the AirPods Pro 2 all the time to protect their sensitive hearing from loud noises.

Show HN: Forms with OpenPGP

Hacker News - Tue, 09/10/2024 - 6:53pm

I'm Pal, the creator of an open source form/survey platform. It's written in Rust and Svelte and it's all on GitHub: https://github.com/palform/palform.

My aim is to do something similar to how Proton encrypted emails: keep it simple and user-friendly, so that basically everyone can switch to it from Google/Typeform.

Of course, there's some compromises. You can't really do integrations, since the server doesn't have the raw responses to send anywhere. But there's still tons of use cases where Palform's features suffice.

The encryption is powered by the amazing Sequoia PGP library and simply uses OpenPGP. I know it's not a perfect protocol, but it's been around for ages and audited several times. Users need to be able to trust Palform, and a DIY obscure cryptographic system would make that hard. Plus, this way you can import + export your keys and everything stays interoperable. It even has webhooks, so your servers can store PGP keys and you can decrypt the form responses yourself.
