Hi HN, we built this because running SAM3 on long videos without a GPU was painful due to memory constraints.

The core idea is automatic overlapping chunking based on available RAM, with IoU-based object ID remapping so tracking remains consistent across chunks.

It supports:

- Text/point/box/mask prompts - Video + image inference - Segment-level processing - Built-in profiling

Would love feedback -- especially from people running segmentation workloads on constrained hardware.

Thanks! Prashant & Ankuj

Great question. PI seems to count the 'number of clicks on your pin' and Reddit does the same. I have the same feeling that they overcount the number to make more money. On more occasions than one I've written to cust support asking for clarifications, the only one that comes through is that 'maybe they bounce as soon as they land on your page'. I find this strange, since the interaction time is 0 secs in almost every case. I've now been warned by several marketing wall of famers that Reddit ads is a scam :)

I'm testing with a demographic that is predominantly women aged between 25-44 years, and a lot of them do :)

Unless I'm reading this wrong: is this a search engine that indexes everything Google doesn't? I can see this being valuable for closed groups that define their own objectives i.e. a SubReddit-esque set-up where one can search for information on a theme say finance. The quality of results on the meta level risks to be lower. On second thought, the idea of Google now indexing my personal info because I hooked onto the graph? Not sure how comfortable I am with that. Intriguing if Google does not index it. Cool idea though, good luck with it!

Hi guys, I'm a self employed building an app called Penguin to help combat the problem of irregular pay amongst the self employed. We’re pretty nascent and struggling to understand if this would help the gig community. We’d be indebted for your take on it if possible, thanks a ton :)

Hi sorry for the late reply, I would very much appreciate that if possible! My id is ankuj@helplicit.com Thanks very much!

Great thats good to know, very kind of you thanks!

Fantastic, thank you so much for this!!

I run a legaltech in the UK. Other than dealing with a similar case with my own co-founder (I ended up splitting ways very early which in hindsight I'm glad I did), we've dealt with a case on the platform where one co-founder wanted to oust the other for similar reasons. Not even thinking of this with a legal lens, if trust is already an issue, you need to have a 'hard conversation' with him. Trust is everything at an early stage, more than the problem.

Great thanks will check these out and keep you posted!

Thanks! This looks apt for hiring within the US though, does it also work for hiring in other countries?

Not sure I agree. I've seen many repeat founders showcase their product without mentioning their credentials. Here are the D3js founders showcasing ObservableHQ, and commenters discovering the team post a background check, no mention of their background anywhere: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16274686

On a side note, and no pun intended, I find it interesting that you find the need to mention that you are a ex-YC company to draw attention towards your offering. I'm curious to know how many upvotes this launch would have have gathered once you take that out. Just saying.

Jove is a financial concierge service for the self employed. We're trying to make financial products cheaper, transparent and accessible to freelancers. The free messenger beta launches with income protection insurance. It also features a COVID calculator to help freelancers access various government help schemes. We're very early into this, and would be extremely grateful for any feedback/suggestions!

Not sure where the impression of giving a cut is involved, there is no mention of that in the description?

Re your point, developing ones brand does not discount the possibility of falling into a blind spot anyway, it is one of the side effects of a sporadic cashflow lifestyle.

Hi All,

Hope you're all keeping safe in these trying times. We've been hearing stories about cashflow problems for freelancers and startups due to Covid. This is obviously something that causes a lot of added stress for them especially. We've been mulling over how we could help and decided to do the little we can of offering a free legal helpline to aid them in understanding how to proceed with the business interruption loan announced by the UK government.

By calling our helpline at (+44) 1274 79 2693 or messaging us, they can expect a response to their question instantly.

If you know any startups/SMBs at struggling with this, please feel free to share this helpline number with them!

Take care and stay safe.

I run a legaltech called 40Q, happy to help and figure out if there is something that can be done here. Is on a case to case basis. Feel free to reach out.

Sorry for the mistaken duplicate post!

FortyQ is answering any legal question in the UK in 42 minutes flat.

The motto is 'if it can be done in 42, we will do it in 42'.

We can help with US questions too, albeit on a case-to-case basis.

The dream is to go beyond, and create the world's biggest curated knowledge base.

Not a success story, but I've been building my venture for some time now and recently started making revenue.

We answer all legal questions in 42 minutes (http://www.helplicit.com), and are now expanding that to other domains (http://www.fortyq.com)

The reason I'm writing here is because I'm constantly surprised by the relative ease with which one 'lands' a 100k per year contract, or accidentally makes an API that forks its way to glory. I'm fortunate to know some amazing founders, some of whom are raising millions in VC. Been in and out of accelerators myself. Yet no story I know starts or has ever been like that.

Imho, it is excruciatingly hard work to provide people value and get them to pay for it. Takes time, constant follow-ups, a strong value proposition..none of which gets built jlt.

I wouldn't be fooled by the end result of $ x M ARR. There is a lot going on behind the scenes, which rarely gets spoken of because it sounds just sounds rad to say that I had an idea and somebody just signed me a cheque. No matter the entity at the paying end, people are fundamentally programmed to be uneasy letting go of large sums of money. Takes a lot of convincing to get there.

Having said that, building is an addictive hellride and I wouldn't trade it for anything else :)

Happy to share more of the limited experience I have, feel free to PM. Cheers to building!

In case you're interested in becoming an expert 'answerer' for 40Q, I'd be happy to discuss possibilities!

Ah thanks for sharing your experience. Could I hit you up in a PM for some more details if it doesn't bother you?

In case you are open to the idea, my is contact@helplicit.com

Thanks in advance and hope to hear from you!

Hi guys, thanks for all the comments and questions. The past day has been supercharged by more demand than we can handle.

We're thus looking to collaborate with ninjas in various domains who can help answering questions. Please reach out to us via the website if it is of interest to you, and we'd be happy to chat.

The vision? Join us in building the world's biggest curated knowledge base, 42 minutes at a time :)

That indeed is one way to go!

Thanks for sharing this, I didn't know about it! What was the selection process, and your experience? Very curious to know!

Thanks! Appreciate the encouragement :)

Do double binds automatically come in though, when you allow people of disparate backgrounds and experiences a platform to express opinion?

Could be constructive though as far as law is concerned.

What typical examples would you refer to?

I see your point regarding a double bind, and it is something we see a lot in blogs I guess with conflicting viewpoints? Its true that there is a significant effort involved in formulating the question properly, but it also ensures getting a chiseled answer. Something we noted as well with paid questions: the amount of detail provided improves dramatically.

One thing that I have noticed working legal questions in the past weeks is that people more lost than they were when given all possible viewpoints and given the possibility to choose. More often than not they are looking for someone to tell them what to do. Makes sense though if you think about it.

Not sure I entirely got the 'Education against them.. ' point, could you elaborate?

Sorry for that, the pages have been corrected. We've redirected the 'recent questions' to our legal website where we've been answering questions for a few weeks now:

Afraid its too soon to answer that one, we're just testing a hypothesis atm :)
