Discussion: Seedance-style AI video generation workflows

Hacker News - Mon, 02/09/2026 - 3:02am

I recently came across a site called Seedance 2: https://seedance2.tech/

It seems to be exploring a different angle of AI video generation, focusing more on rhythm, motion, and visual continuity rather than long-form cinematic storytelling.

I’m curious what people here think about this direction in general: - Does a rhythm- or motion-focused approach to AI video feel genuinely useful? - How does this compare to current AI video tools in terms of control and expectations? - If you were to use an AI video generator, what kind of control would actually matter to you?

Not affiliated, just interested in discussing where AI video generation workflows might be heading.

Subtle thermal factors I didn't expect when testing high-power LEDs

Hacker News - Mon, 02/09/2026 - 2:57am

I’ve been experimenting with high-power LEDs in open, non-commercial setups to better understand real-world thermal behavior outside finished products.

What stood out was how strongly non-electrical details affected stability: – mounting pressure – interface materials – real airflow paths versus assumed ones

Electrically everything stayed within ratings, but long-term thermal behavior varied more than expected.

For those who’ve worked with power-dense hardware: what thermal assumptions turned out to be wrong in practice?

Show HN: CPL – A categorical programming language that runs in the browser

Hacker News - Mon, 02/09/2026 - 2:55am

CPL is a programming language based on category theory, originally designed by Tatsuya Hagino in his 1987 PhD thesis at the University of Edinburgh. It has no built-in data types — products, coproducts, natural numbers, and even exponentials (function space) are all defined by the user using F,G-dialgebras.

In this release, CPL now runs in your browser via WebAssembly with no installation required. I've also added tutorials in both English and Japanese.

Show HN: Tiles – yet another Emacs package for note-taking

Hacker News - Mon, 02/09/2026 - 2:53am

In TILES, each note (or tile, if you will) is a single plaintext paragraph stored in its own .org file, organized through tags and bold keywords. TILES tries to keep it simple: there is no note title (to reduce friction when creating a note, and honestly a note title is not something I find very useful anyway), there are no dependencies (except for Emacs, version 27.1 at least), no links between notes, no backlinks, no graphs, and no database; every note is a paragraph in its own plaintext file.

Other notable features are: - a dashboard offering a quick glance and a preview of your notes; - note stitching (borrowed from Howm) and the possibility to get note content by using Dynamic Blocks in Org Mode (borrowed from Denote); - tags are mandatory and used for hierarchy; - keywords are optional and automatically extracted from bolded content inside the notes; - search is performed exclusively on tags and/or keywords; - subnotes (or undertiles, if you will), a kind of meta-content (or private content) inside a note, which is a paragraph prefixed with '&&' hidden everywhere except in expanded view in the dashboard and, of course, in the note editing buffer (it's not exported trough Dynamic Blocks actions, nor through stitching); - color coding in the dashboard, depending on the note's age.

Show HN: MCPlexor – MCP multiplexer that cuts agent context usage by 95%

Hacker News - Mon, 02/09/2026 - 2:17am

I built MCPlexor to solve a token waste problem I kept running into with MCP-based agents.

The Problem: MCP (Model Context Protocol) is great for giving LLMs access to external tools. But if you connect multiple servers (GitHub, Linear, Postgres, Slack), you end up with 40-50k tokens of tool definitions injected into every request – before the agent even does anything.

On a 200k context model, that's 25% gone. On smaller models, it's worse. And most runs only use 1-2 tools.

The Solution: MCPlexor sits between your agent and your MCP servers. Instead of loading all tool definitions upfront:

Agent asks for a capability ("create an issue") MCPlexor routes to the right server using semantic matching Only relevant tools get exposed Result: ~500 tokens overhead instead of ~20k.

Technical Details: - Written in Go, single binary, no runtime deps - Supports both stdio and HTTP transports - Stores credentials in OS keychain (macOS Keychain, Windows Credential Manager, Linux keyring via zalando/go-keyring) - Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Augment Code, or any MCP-compatible client

The routing logic can run entirely locally using Ollama. No API calls, no cost, works offline.

Business Model (for transparency): - Local/Ollama users: completely free - Cloud tier (on waitlist): we run inference on efficient small models instead of Opus/Pro, pass on savings, take a margin The bet is that routing is a narrow enough task that a fine-tuned 7B model does it as well as a frontier model. Early testing suggests this works.

CLI uploads: https://github.com/arustagi101/mcplexor Install: `curl -fsSL https://mcplexor.com/install.sh | bash` Happy to answer questions about the architecture, the routing approach, or anything else.
