Update to my meta glasses API "Hey Meta send a message to ChatGPT"
v1.0.0: https://github.com/dcrebbin/meta-vision-api/releases/tag/1.0... The previous implementation was very very hacky and used a bookmarklet alongside uglified messenger classes from 2 years ago to monitor a chat, it was also only for image messages. The new release is a browser extension for chrome & firefox that you run on an alt facebook account on messenger that can monitor for new chat & image messages + video monitoring if in a call. You can create a group chat and use a special method (instructions in the readme) to force the Glasses to be aware of…
In plain words
This is a browser extension for Chrome and Firefox that enables Meta Ray-Ban glasses to send messages and photos to AI chatbots like ChatGPT or Perplexity through Messenger. It monitors chat and image messages on an alt Facebook account, with optional video monitoring during calls. Users can configure the AI provider, model, and text-to-speech settings through the extension's UI. It's designed for developers who want to integrate AI capabilities into their Meta glasses workflow.

v1.0.0: https://github.com/dcrebbin/meta-vision-api/releases/tag/1.0... The previous implementation was very very hacky and used a bookmarklet alongside uglified messenger classes from 2 years ago to monitor a chat, it was also only for image messages. The new release is a browser extension for chrome & firefox that you run on an alt facebook account on messenger that can monitor for new chat & image messages + video monitoring if in a call. You can create a group chat and use a special method (instructions in the readme) to force the Glasses to be aware of the new group which allows for Hey Meta send a message/photo to _____ (ChatGPT, Perplexity or whatever you name the chat) There are settings in the UI to change the AI chat provider, model and whether or not to generate and send audio via a text to speech provider (OpenAI, 11labs or Minimax) I've also added video monitoring: you call the group chat and can have the extension to monitor the video output and send a photo to one of the providers every second (or a custom internal) With the original project I did get an interview with the Reality Labs team but I ended up rescinding from the process for various reasons. But, let me know what you think! Planned features are listed under issues with the feature prefix: https://github.com/dcrebbin/meta-vision-api/issues

Hey HN! Pilots everywhere are required to keep a logbook of all their flying hours, aircraft, airports, and so on. Since I track everything digitally (some people still just use paper logbooks!), I put together some data visualizations and a few 3D globes to show my flying history. This globe is probably my favourite so far: https://jameshard.ing/pilot/globes/all If you’ve got ideas for other graphs or ways to show this kind of data, I’d love to hear them!

I was the main contributor to workout.lol, an open-source fitness app to easily build a workout routine. The project had traction (1.4k GitHub stars, 95 forks, ~20K visits/month), but was eventually sold due to video licensing hurdles. The new owner stopped maintaining it, and the repo went abandoned. Over the next 9 months, I sent 15 emails to try to save it : no replies. Feature requests & issues were ignored. The community was left with a "broken" tool let's say. I couldn't just let it die So I built the new version from scratch with the same open-source spirit, but a better…
