New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Weather Watching

Show HN: Weather Watching 5 by walz | 1 comments on Hacker News. I was walking around New York last month during some light rain and noticed about half the people had umbrellas open. When the rain picked up a few minutes later, that number jumped closer to 80%. It got me thinking it'd be cool to track this somehow, so I built a website! I am taking a sidewalk livestream, feeding it into a YOLO model for people tracking, then sending a frame of each detected person to Gemini 2.0 Flash, which returns structured JSON about each person's clothing and if they're holding an umbrella. I also had fun making the site look like a TV weather channel. I showed some friends this project and someone mentioned how the legendary Tasks xkcd comic ( https://xkcd.com/1425 ) is out of date now. If you want to check whether a photo has birds in it (or if someone is holding an umbrella), you can just ask an inexpensive vision model for JSON.

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Tiptap AI Agent – Add AI workflows to your text editor in minutes

Show HN: Tiptap AI Agent – Add AI workflows to your text editor in minutes 15 by philipisik | 1 comments on Hacker News. We built the Tiptap AI Agent to make it easy to integrate AI into a rich text editor, without rebuilding your entire frontend. If you’ve ever tried wiring up AI inside a document editor, you’ve probably dealt with: - Extracting context from complex document structures - Handling prompt input + streamed output - Supporting undo/redo for AI changes - Designing UI for accepting/rejecting changes - Multiplayer session state and conflicts It’s a lot of work, and almost none of it is model-specific. This new Tiptap toolkit gives you a clean way to define AI Agents that can read and edit rich text based on user-defined tasks. You can trigger agents manually, automatically, or in response to structured input. Works with OpenAI or your own backend + LLM stack. Built on top of the same multiplayer engine behind Tiptap’s collaboration features. We also include an AI Changes ...
