24 alternatives to Finding similarities in New Yorker covers
About a month ago I shared a web app that let you compare magazine covers using image hashes. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46518106 Samin100 suggested giving CLIP and DinoV2 a shot for better results. I had no idea what those were, but researching them led me to learn about vision transformers. DinoV2 was created by Meta, and CLIP is by OpenAI. The updated version of the magazine comparison tool lets you use those two models (Photo = DinoV2 and Design = CLIP) I've personally really enjoyed the journey through New Yorker covers: Bikes…
This tool uses image hashing technology to find visual similarities across New Yorker magazine covers. Users can explore patterns and recurring design elements by comparing cover artwork. The maker adapted techniques… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes.

As a grad student (and an ADHDer), I had trouble doing literature review systematically. To combat this, I made a website that finds similar papers using the meaning of the thing I am looking for. I used MixedBread's [^1] embedding model to generate vectors from the abstracts. I store and search similar vectors using Milvus [^2] and finally use Gradio [^3] to serve the frontend. I update the vector database weekly by pulling the metadata dataset from Kaggle [^4]. To speed up the search process on my free oracle instance, I binarise the embeddings and use Hamming distance as a metric. I would…

Click an image to get similar images. I crawled Tumblr and used SigLIP to get vector embeddings for many images. When you click an image, it finds the most similar vector embeddings in the database, and returns the corresponding images.

I wrote this tool to get familiar with CLIP model, I know many people have written similar tools with CLIP before, but I'm new to machine learning and writing a classic tool helps my study. The unusual thing with my version is, it is in pure Node.js, with the power of node-mlx, a Node.js machine learning framework. The repo in the link is mostly about implementing indexing and CLI, the code of the model implementation lives as a Node.js module: https://github.com/frost-beta/clip . Hope this helps other learners!

Hi HN, I built Virlo originally to go after the clipper/clipping market. We had so many customer approach us looking for more (essentially programmatic GTM tool for short-form) that we decided to “answer the mkt”. The pattern was the same on calls we had with early users, that weren't in our OG ICP: Head of Social is pulling inspo manually, creative director is copying trends that peaked three weeks ago, media buyer has no visibility into what competitors are actually spending behind on Meta. Everyone's working hard. Etc, etc… Virlo fixes the signal layer. You set up custom niches by…

Vision models have been gaining popularity as a replacement for traditional OCR. Especially with Gemini 2.0 becoming cost competitive with the cloud platforms. We've been continuously evaluating different models since we released the Zerox package last year (https://github.com/getomni-ai/zerox). And we wanted to put some numbers behind it. So we’re open sourcing our internal OCR benchmark + evaluation datasets. Full writeup + data explorer here: https://getomni.ai/ocr-benchmark Github: https://github.com/getomni-ai/benchmark Huggingface:…

This demo allows you to recreate images using emojis. You can provide images or emojis to paint with, and it will attempt to recreate images using emojis. Much of the code is adopted from the Paint Transformer (https://arxiv.org/abs/2108.03798) paper. In this code base, I treat emojis like “brushes”, and use a Gumbel Softmax-based lookup to choose an emoji to paste to the canvas during training (similar to how attention uses a softmax to select keys during training).

We have a dataset of 3,095 standardized AI responses across 43 prompts. From each response, we extract a 32-dimension stylometric fingerprint (lexical richness, sentence structure, punctuation habits, formatting patterns, discourse markers). Some findings: - 9 clone clusters (>90% cosine similarity on z-normalized feature vectors) - Mistral Large 2 and Large 3 2512 score 84.8% on a composite metric combining 5 independent signals - Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite writes 78% like Claude 3 Opus. Costs 185x less - Meta has the strongest provider "house style" (37.5x distinctiveness ratio) - "Satirical…

Hello HN! I want to share something me and a few friends have been working on for a while now — Zeroshot, a web tool that builds image classifiers using text-image models and autolabeling. What does this mean in practice? You can put together an image classifier in about 30 seconds that’s faster and more accurate than CLIP, but that you can deploy yourself however you’d like. It’s open source, commercially licensed, and doesn’t require you to pay anyone per API call. Here's a 2 minute video that shows it off: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4R1gtmM-Lo How/why does it…

Hi, I wanted to share with You our project (https://comparere.io). We have built a website for comparing graphics and designs. The concept is simple, you have to just drag'n drop two designs you are having trouble to pick from. The idea has emarged when we stumbled across many different facebook groups for graphic designers, where they used to sometimes ask the community for help to decide which design is better. I had similar problem too. Hopefully this tool will help graphic/ux designers build/create projects that will appeal to more audiences. We are looking forward to…

I compared iTerm2 and Neovim color themes by extracting their palettes from theme files and computing a similarity score. Theme pairings are recommended for users who want a consistent look across their terminal and editor, since their palettes are perceptually similar according to CIELAB-based distance metrics.

Hey HN! I built this after my wedding left me with 5,000 photos to sort through. The key insight: most photo sorting time is spent reviewing near-duplicates. Professional photographers shoot in bursts, so you get 10+ shots of the same moment. PicPick uses CLIP embeddings to cluster visually similar photos, then adds face recognition to keep groups coherent (so you don't mix up "bride with parents" and "bride with friends" just because they look similar). Tech stack: - CLIP for semantic similarity (not just perceptual hashing) - face_recognition (dlib) for person detection - DBSCAN clustering…

DedupX▲5Hi HN, I built a duplicate file finder for my brother who's a photography enthusiast and constantly runs out of storage constantly due to resizing a lot of photos and having a lot of duplicates around. Notes: - Incremental hashing: Instead of loading entire files into memory, I hash files in chunks. Files with identical sizes get grouped and progressively hashed until they diverge or match completely. - Perceptual hashing: For images, I use perceptual hashing (pHash) that generates a fingerprint based on visual content rather than bytes. Similar images have similar hashes. - BK-Tree…

Hi HN, I’m Saad and I built BestPick.online. We made this because your profile picture is often your first impression — whether you're on a dating app, LinkedIn, Instagram or building a personal brand. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1} Here’s what it does: - Upload 2-3 photos of yourself. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2} - Choose the goal (dating app, professional, social, etc.). :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3} - The AI instantly rates them and shows which one works best for that goal. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4} We believe: - Different platforms need different kinds…

To learn OpenAI’s APIs a bit better (but mostly for fun), I made this image matching/prompting game. The idea is to generate a matching image using a prompt with limited input. You’ll have 3 tries. A new image and leaderboard is automatically reset daily. Let me know your thoughts! Please visit TwinPics.ai - Chris Sev
