@DeepikaBhardwaj Can you please help me get in touch with folks in Meta? My Instagram business account which I built over 3yrs got wrongly suspended due to AI flagging. We have requested for manual review for months with no progress. Now I have only 20 days before it gets permanently suspended
This guy lives near SFO. He built a system that projects every plane flying over his house onto his ceiling in real-time. 🤯
Built it with Claude Code. Open-sourced the whole thing.
→ A tiny radio picks up every aircraft signal overhead
→ A Raspberry Pi decodes it and a projector maps it to your ceiling
→ Airliners, helicopters, Cessnas all live, not a loop
→ Also tracks the sun, moon, stars, and the ISS
→ No internet, no subscription, fully local
→ Total hardware: one radio, one Pi, any 1080p projector
It's called Skylight. Fully open-source on GitHub right now.
Ready-made kit coming to crowdfunding soon for anyone who doesn't want to DIY.
This is the most beautiful thing someone has built with Claude Code.
@deepakshenoy I have always heard about Thirthahalli from my mom since my grandfather grew up there but never really visited. Excited to hear your experience and learn more about the place of holy water.
@DealsDhamaka@pointperkspicks I believe it comes to their reduced marketing expenses since it’s on their platform, plus initial CAC to get people to try their product. Very similar to Amazon selling their brand products for lesser cost.
Personally, I have tried their products at it is pretty good.
Netflix aquired Ben Affleck’s AI film startup InterPositive for up to $600 million (based on certain milestones).
Affleck’s AI tool augments existing filmmaking workflows:
▫️directors can train a small model from their own dailies
▫️improves the post-production editorial process
▫️more quickly mix, color and finish films (use their trained model to change shots, add props, enhance backgrounds or remove visuals while keeping consistency)
Seems similar to work James Cameron is doing with AI and VFX.
Cameron says his interest in GenAI is to reduce post-production costs by making the “cadence faster, so your throughput cycle is faster and artists get to move on and do other cool things.”
If AI can reduce VFX costs by 1/2, Cameron thinks that means more blockbusters (including original IP or up-and-coming directors that wouldn’t otherwise get greenlit).
Affleck mentions “getting more episodes” of your favourite TV shows with his tech.
If Affleck hits the full $600 million cash deal, this looks to be Netflix’s largest tech acquisition ever.
Whether or not the tech is worth that much, Netflix is getting the Affleck halo of a well-known (but still skeptical) AI practitioner.
He has been Hollywood’s go-to takesman (eg. Rogan) on how AI can or can not change Hollywood (he doesn’t think it has creative chops for scriptwriting and thinks unions will protect a lot of acting/writing jobs for foreseeable future).
If Netflix wants to ramp its use of AI, Affleck’s narrow view of the technology’s use makes it less threatening and helps with creative talent (David Fincher already using it for Brad Pitt film, probably the Once Upon A Time In Hollywood sequel).
“It’s not about text prompting or building something from nothing,” Affleck says. “You’re building a model from your own material.”
