Show HN: The mainbrella effect – AI code / Agent machines
Hi, my name is Andrew and I'm the founder of mainbrella co. Just a few days ago Cloudflare launched their container sandbox service. That inspired me to see what I could build in terms of a better e2b.dev or daytona.io type system. It is all open source GPL 3.0 and we offer the same services as the other players. We have no free plan (our base builder plan is $5 a month) but you are welcome to run the code in your own Cloudflare account. The numbers are pretty good in terms of startup speed. Fir...

Ask HN: Are there AI models for generating sounds based on a text and reference?
I've been having a hard time finding a solution. Is there really no commercialized model that I can feed in a reference sound and text instruction and get another sound out? Right now having a multimodal inputs to image or text output is a commodotized, solved problem. IE you can put a prompt for some image and use a reference image to guide the model on what you want.
