This information can help us make healthy decisions – research shows the devices encourage people to move more, for example – and could flag possible problems, such as an irregular heartbeat.

Ask HN: Are there strategies for content creators to prove their location?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42122445With a looming snap election in Germany, there is revived discussion in Europe and Germany on regulating internet platforms and social media to make foreign election interference and misinformation campaigns harder to carry out.Regulating or moderating digital discourse to combat misinformation is notoriously difficult on many levels, but one model that has seen some adoption is offering additional information and context to consumers of digital information. For example, YouTube displays contextual information under videos that discuss certain topics, and Twitter/X has the community notes feature.To mitigate foreign misinformation, a potentially powerful piece of context in the run-up to elections could be whether or not the content was posted from a device located within the European Union (EU). For the sake of argument, assume that the goal is to offer social media users the option to verify that their social media post was sent from a device physically located within the EU.

Show HN: I made a minimalistic AI calendar creator to accelerate daily planninghttps://www.calendarplusai.com/sign-upHey Hacker News!To test implementing AI (and paywalls tbh) in software for the first time, I made this simple calendar creator (no mail address required) that lets a person create a calendar based on his needs and availability and export it to his calendar app, pdf or receive a daily newsletter with his daily tasks (and more).After wrestling with different models (f.e. with huggingface) and encountering different problems, I decided to use ChatGPT's models, tune them a little and see how the result works out. ChatGPT's low price enables me to give users the opportunity to create calendars for free and without a mail address required.Demo video: https://youtu.be/UeZmqXcU5fY?feature=sharedThe website/tool includes:- Creating your calendar based on a title, date range and a description- Editing and "polishing" the calendar until getting a desired result- Exporting the calendar to your calendar app (can be Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, etc...)- Exporting the calendar Nov 10, 2024 5:12 PM

Show HN: AI to write nonfiction books tailored for youhttps://tailoredread.comHey HN,As an avid reader, I read many nonfiction books every year. While enjoyable, I find that nonfiction books usually contain a lot of information that is not relevant or helpful for me.That's why I decided to build TailoredRead (https://tailoredread.com/). It’s a tool that uses AI to write full-length books that are tailored specifically to the reader.Here’s how it works:1. You answer a few questions: book subject, key topics, your background, your goals2. The AI generates the book outline - title, description, chapters and subchapters, key insights, etc. I found that Claude 3.5 Sonnet produces great results here, but I want to give GPT o1 a try as well.3. Our backend starts a worker that orchestrates the creation of the book. This typically takes 5-10 minutes, and you can start reading the book as it’s being written. Here I found that Claude 3.5 Sonnet produces significantly better output than GPT 4o and other models, but it still requires a lot of prompting and breaking down the Nov 6, 2024 3:42 PM

Show HN: Remy – an AI agent that finds the best clips from the world's videoshttps://www.getremy.app/Remy is an AI agent that finds you the best clips from the world’s videos in real time.The Problem:Remy was born out of a simple frustration I had: after taking the Gordon Ramsay Masterclass, I realised I had already seen most of the content scattered across different YouTube videos over the years.However, after going back to scouring YouTube to compile all of the videos I was interested in, I found that most of what I was looking for was buried in much longer videos. So, the question became: Why isn’t there one place to find every clip I’m looking for, no matter what video it’s hidden in? From that, Remy began to take shape.The Solution:We’ve since developed fast, powerful video search and understanding models, designed to save you time and effort by finding you exactly what you asked for, no matter how niche or specific. Remy searches across billions of videos in seconds, letting you iterate and hone in on the clips that matter most to you.With real-time clipping, Remy looks for the Nov 5, 2024 8:13 PM
