HN.watch

This is actually quite impressive from an engineer viewpoint. I just have the feeling that the videos quickly become very monotonous and rather boring due to the monotonous AI…

Because we all contain multitudes, I can simultaneously accept that: 1. I hate everything about this because I vastly prefer text over video for the same content, especially AI…

Love this! I've already used it a bunch to go through some HN posts that I might not have otherwise read. It's definitely a form of TLDR, but for watching?! This feels like some…

This is great - many of us who are technical but not working in hardcore tech probably scroll by quickly on stuff we have never heard of. Getting a quick synopsis like this may…

This is actually really useful to me, thanks! I often skip reading interesting articles because it's either too technical or because my eyes have had enough for the day.…

Don't listen to the naysayers, please. This is both impressive _and_ useful. As someone with limited time (the only one with such an issue in this comment section, it seems), I…

I gave it a fair shake (10 or so). I'll say this... it does the job of "I can't spend 45 minutes on a journal article that's already over my head, or get through 20 pages of blog…

I would stick with this. There's huge potential here. I'm not going to lie, I did a video of this, and it was pretty slop. Some of it didn't even make sense and was super…

I feel I need to explain beyond just a whine. I think this is exactly the opposite of what AI should be used for. It is going to make people dumb. Watching a video instead of…

This feels more useful as a gateway to reading than a replacement for it.

Clicked on the demo "What caused the fall of the Roman Empire?" and immediately saw the same inadequacies I've seen in every other system like this: any attempt at visualizing a…

All of what you said is great, and I especially detest the proliferation of slop videos on YouTube, where it makes no sense to drown out the ample supply of such personalities…

you know what might be interesting? The "HN 10 minute" -- 20 seconds per front page hn story as a podcast, daily.

Thanks! And I agree. We're getting tons of requests for more nuance in voice selection from our users. You're currently able to say i.e. "Australian English female" in your…

Now I want to watch the comments as a video too.

How does this even reliably read the webpages, since so many of them block bots?

Nice concept, but why not generate one video per post rather than re-generating the video for each click per user? The result is going to be the same, and it will be…

I just had opus make me a tts mobile app that grabs the top 20 HN stories and the top 5 comments for each and read them out to me (using one of the higher quality built in TTS…

This is super cool. Not affiliated but trymyrepo.com is very neat as well. Seems similar space. Also I had Muse agent create a skill that can do videos. Worked pretty well.…

These AI explainers are taking over. I tried getting this working back in May. The models were okay but not quite there and it was a ton of effort. Opus 5.5 seems like the…
