I saw a lot of people confused about how expensive the hardware parts ordering and assembly would be to run the awesome birds sound detection and rendering on e-ink frame posted this week here on HN. Here is how you can run that on a Kobo. A used can be bought for around US $50, much cheaper than buying the individual components, and it also doubles as an eBook reader. The Colour Kobo versions should be preferred over the BW ones. Also, add a nice case and it should look good. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49743786 Points: 3 # Comments: 0

Hi HN, I built S-Roll, a macOS app for turning long-form video into clips entirely on-device. Drop in podcasts, gameplay videos, or other long videos and get shorts or viral reels instantly. You can chat with the video to find a specific moment and turn it directly into a clip. S-Roll also does subject tracking, so the person or object you care about stays in frame when converting to vertical video. Everything runs locally on your Mac, including transcription and video understanding. S-Roll: https://saliency.dev/s-roll Discord: https://discord.gg/B6HnneePm Would love feedback :) Comments URL:β¦

Hey HN, we're Nars & Nishant, founders of Skillsync ( https://skillsync.com ) Skillsync lets you move your AI chats across every coding agent. Most of our work exists as conversations, which are currently scattered across our agents. Though stored locally, these conversations use different formats. This is annoying because you cannot simply switch between agents without starting over. We get locked into a single provider and their agent as we invest in skills and memories over time. Skillsync acts as a universal converter. It moves the entire session, including all the messages, reasoning andβ¦
