New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Distr – open-source distribution platform for on-prem deployments

Show HN: Distr – open-source distribution platform for on-prem deployments 18 by louis_w_gk | 0 comments Distr is designed to help software engineers distribute and manage their applications or agents in customer-controlled or shared-responsibility environments. You only need a Docker Compose file or Helm chart—everything else for on-prem is handled by the platform. We’re are an open source dev tool company. Over the past couple of months, we’ve spoken with dozens of software companies to understand their challenges with on-prem deployments. We analyzed the internal tools they’ve built and the best practices from existing solutions, combining them into a prebuilt, Open Source solution that works out of the box and integrates seamlessly. Distr consists of two key components: 1. Hub - Provides a centralized view of all deployments and controls connected agents. - Comes with a simple GUI but also supports API and SDK access for seamless integration. - Fully Open- Surce and self-hosta...

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Open-source AI video editor

Show HN: Open-source AI video editor 15 by drochetti | 3 comments Hey HN community! I'm one of the lead devs of this project at fal.ai and we created an open source lightweight video editor powered by the latest media AI models. The main goal was to tackle some challenges when dealing with complex media handling and encoding on the browser. It all started as an internal experiment but as we tackled some of the issues it was clear there could be some value sharing it with the open source community. Some of the key points and tech stack details: - It uses IndexedDb, so all data is local (i.e. no auth, no cloud db) - Multiple AI models for video, image, music and voice-over. APIs are provided by fal.ai - Built with the typical React+Next.js, Shadcn front-end - Used remotion.dev for the realtime video preview (this is such a great project, without it the codebase would be twice as large) - File uploads so you can bring your own media by uploadthing.com - ffmpeg for encoding the final ...

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: I Built a Fair Alternative to Product Hunt for Indie Makers Like You

Show HN: I Built a Fair Alternative to Product Hunt for Indie Makers Like You 16 by lakshikag | 4 comments I’m an indie maker, just like many of you. A few months back, I launched a product on one of the big platforms, and... nothing. It got buried under dozens of other launches within hours. All that work, all that excitement is gone in the blink of an eye. No one even saw it. It stung. I wasn’t mad, well, maybe a little but mostly, I just felt invisible. The truth is, indie makers like me don’t have big teams or budgets to fight for visibility. We rely on genuine support and connections. I couldn’t stop thinking about how many great ideas never get the attention they deserve because they’re overshadowed. So, I decided to build something different: https://itslaunched.com Here’s the idea: • 10 launches per day, max. Limiting the number of daily launches ensures that every product gets its moment in the spotlight. • 2 votes per user, per day. This isn’t a popularity contest. You only ...

Show HN: TabPFN v2 – A SOTA foundation model for small tabular data 32 by onasta | 2 comments I am excited to announce the release of TabPFN v2, a tabular foundation model that delivers state-of-the-art predictions on small datasets in just 2.8 seconds for classification and 4.8 seconds for regression compared to strong baselines tuned for 4 hours. Published in Nature, this model outperforms traditional methods on datasets with up to 10,000 samples and 500 features. The model is available under an open license: a derivative of the Apache 2 license with a single modification, adding an enhanced attribution requirement inspired by the Llama 3 license: https://github.com/PriorLabs/tabpfn . You can also try it via API: https://github.com/PriorLabs/tabpfn-client TabPFN v2 is trained on 130 million synthetic tabular prediction datasets to perform in-context learning and output a predictive distribution for the test data points. Each dataset acts as one meta-datapoint to train the TabPFN wei...
