Ask HN: Tell us about your project that's not done yet but you want feedback on
https://github.com/ambrosiogabe/MathAnimation
If you’ve ever tried to make a mathematical animation (think 3Blue1Brown), it’s a real pain. I was using manim for awhile to make animations for my YT channel, but the whole iteration process felt very slow and repetitive. So I thought I would recreate manim over the weekend, except with a GUI and real-time feedback. It’s been a year and a half and I’m hoping this weekend will be done soon so I can move on and start making videos again.
So far, it does a lot, but it still needs a lot of polish and refinement. The readme gives some gifs and a better idea of the feature set right now.

The Worst API Ever Made
Win32 definitely has some stinkers. But, video encoding APIs definitely take the cake for me. I've only tried a couple of FFmpeg's APIs and AV1's API, but my God, these are the worst API's I've ever had to deal with.
Just as an example, all I wanted was an API like this[0] for FFmpeg. In order to implement that API (which in my opinion is reasonable), I had to write this monstrosity[1]. It took me a solid week to find an example of how to do this, then another few days of fiddling until I finally just barely got something working. Then I threw in the towel even though the performance was horrible. I tried again a year later and spent another month wrestling with AV1 :/
The amount of leakage going on in these APIs is absolutely insane. I shouldn't have to know the intimate details of how video encoding works to use your library. If I do, then I may as well write my own encoder at that point.

Show HN: Mafs – React components for interactive math
I just so happen to be working on a real-time Gui first replacement for manim :)
It still has a ways to go, but I was able to create one video with it so far and I'm working on all the pain points I ran into while using it. Feel free to check it out if you're interested!

Ask HN: Who is using C++ as the main language for new project?
I'm using C++ for a minecraft clone that I've been tinkering on for the past year[0]. I also plan on using embedded lua for scripting, and I'm using RML UI for game HUDs, ImGui for development tools, and OpenGL for graphics. I use premake for my build system but plan on switching to CMake.
I'm also using it for an animation tool[1]. I've been using 3Blue1Brown's Manim (written in Python) which is amazing, but it lacks real-time editing and proper 3D blending. It also lacks audio synchronization, 3D texture support, and some more complex features that I'd like to add :)

FlowDiver: The Road to SSR - Part 1
Disregarding props-drilling technique in favor of a more reliable and elegant solution we looked for inspiration elsewhere. Another project of ours .find was using Typesense/Algolia components, which looked a bit like black-box/magic, but at the same time provided a clean approach to build complex and highly customizable solutions.

Website Search Hurts My Feelings
There are actually plenty of non-ES products that are way easier to integrate and tune (and get better results with less effort).
- Typesense (https://github.com/typesense/typesense)
- Algolia
- Google Programmable Search Engine (https://programmablesearchengine.google.com/about/)
- Remote Machine Learning and Searching on a Raspberry Pi 5

DNS record "hn.algolia.com" is gone
If you like your penny take a look at Typesense https://typesense.org/ - nothing to complain here. Especially nothing complain about pricing.

Vector databases: analyzing the trade-offs
I work on Typesense [1] (historically considered an open source alternative to Algolia).
We then launched vector search in Jan 2023, and just last week we launched the ability to generate embeddings from within Typesense.
You'd just need to send JSON data, and Typesense can generate embeddings for your data using OpenAI, PaLM API, or built-in models like S-BERT, E-5, etc (running on a GPU if you prefer) [2]
You can then do a hybrid (keyword + semantic) search by just sending the search keywords to Typesense, and Typesense will automatically generate embeddings for you internally and return a ranked list of keyword results weaved with semantic results (using Rank Fusion).
You can also combine filtering, faceting, typo tolerance, etc - the things Typesense already had.

Obsidian Publish full text search
I haven’t used Publish, but I’d assume you could use something like https://typesense.org/ to index and search the vault.

DynamoDB search options
A cheaper option would be to use https://typesense.org. You can use DynamoDb streams to automatically load records. It has worked well for me.
