Whoa! Cool. I didn't see that earlier - nice.

These look great. The page says "Thousands of designers, developers, and content creators use HugeIcons Pro". Is this accurate? The project seems to have only about 493 downloads a week on NPM, and 194 GitHub stars. I would have expected a lot more given the number of people you claim are using the library.

(Edit: For clarification, the NPM stats refer to the number of times the library was fetched from NPM's servers, not the number of times a developer incorporated it into a project. For popular NPM libraries, this number can be in the many millions of downloads per week. My confusion stems from the fact a library used by thousands of projects will have substantially higher numbers in NPM than what is seen here. It is of course possible that this number counts developers incorporating these icons not through the NPM library.)

This looks cool! Your website really should feature a couple of sample videos, though, since without finding the links in your post here it is hard to tell what the final results look like.

Hey HN -

I'm a co-founder at Fixie, a Seattle-based AI startup. We're launching an experiment to showcase what's possible with Fixie's real-time LLM-powered voice platform. You can check it out at https://hisanta.ai - you can have live voice chats with Santa, Mrs. Claus, Rudolph, and other friends (toggle the naughty/nice switch at the top for some other characters!)

We'd love to get your help testing this and get any feedback -- especially from people with kids :-)

All the code for this app is open source: https://github.com/fixie-ai/hisanta.ai

This is not just a thin wrapper around LLMs. To get the performance to this level, we've had to do a lot of engineering to wire together ASR, LLMs, and TTS models efficiently, and are doing some clever things to hide latency. Happy to answer any questions about the technology.

The Fixie platform (https://fixie.ai) powers the app and embeds the logic for managing voice sessions with LLM agents, which can be built either through a no-code UI or using our AI.JSX (https://ai-jsx.com) framework for building LLM apps. We support a range of ASR and TTS models under the hood as well.

We'd love your feedback! Drop me a line or join our Discord: https://discord.com/invite/tRMV7PW8f2

Thanks! Matt on behalf of the Fixie team

I’m no fan of the WEI proposal, but the headline here is inaccurate. Rick expressed a belief that criminals were amongst those voicing concern over the proposal, not claiming that all opponents are criminals, as the headline suggests.

I have deployed similar-looking devices in places like volcanoes in Ecuador. On each of these boxes we put a prominent message in Spanish and English: "This is sensitive research equipment, please do not touch" with contact information.
