Animation engine for explanatory math videos Manim is an engine for precise programmatic animations, designed for creating explanatory math videos. Note, there are two versions of manim. This repository began as a personal project by the author of 3Blue1Brown for the purpose of animating those videos, with video-specific code available here. In 2020 a group of developers forked it into what is now the community edition, with a goal of being more stable, better tested, quicker to respond to community contributions, and all around friendlier to get started with.

hn-ai· 02-sept
The "50% higher" capacity through August 31 ended last night. Until then, 100% use of a 5-hour session would use 10% of my weekly capacity. Today, there's a new "50% higher" capacity message through September 13. But I'm burning capacity at 2x the rate. 100% of a 5-hour session is now using 20% of my weekly capacity, not 10%.

- Show HN: 1Dial, an AI you can call/Text to get real-world tasks done
hn-ai· 02-sept
I built 1Dial because LLMs have become great at telling you what to do, but I still find myself making calls, waiting on hold, finding appointments, getting quotes, etc. With 1Dial, you call or text one number and tell it what you need. It can search, call businesses, follow up and coordinate the task. We've processed about 100+ tasks in our early beta so far. 81% were completed better than what a human would have done. You can try it at 1-844-440-3463 (Call or Text). Would particularly love feedback on where this breaks and whether you'd trust something like this, when and for what you want to use this.
