Nvidia's $20B antitrust loophole

I built a CLI tool that lets you do common video&#x2F;audio operations without remembering ffmpeg syntax.Instead of:
ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -vf &quot;fps=15,scale=480:-1:flags=lanczos&quot; -loop 0 output.gifYou write:
 ff convert video.mp4 to gifMore examples:
 ff compress video.mp4 to 10mb
 ff trim video.mp4 from 0:30 to 1:00
 ff extract audio from video.mp4
 ff resize video.mp4 to 720p
 ff speed up video.mp4 by 2x
 ff reverse video.mp4There are similar tools that use LLMs (wtffmpeg, llmpeg, ai-ffmpeg-cli), but they require API keys, cost money, and have latency.Ez FFmpeg is different:
 - No AI – just regex pattern matching
 - Instant – no API calls
 - Free – no tokens
 - Offline – works without internetIt handles ~20 common operations that cover 90% of what developers actually do with ffmpeg. For edge cases, you still need ffmpeg directly.Interactive mode (just type ff) shows media files in your current folder with typeahead search.npm install -g ezff

Hey HN! I&#x27;m Baha, creator of Mysti.The problem: I pay for Claude Pro, ChatGPT Plus, and Gemini but only one could help at a time. On tricky architecture decisions, I wanted a second opinion.The solution: Mysti lets you pick any two AI agents (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini) to collaborate. They each analyze your request, debate approaches, then synthesize the best solution.Your prompt → Agent 1 analyzes → Agent 2 analyzes → Discussion → Synthesized solutionWhy this matters: each model has different training and blind spots. Two perspectives catch edge cases one would miss. It&#x27;s like pair programming with two senior devs who actually discuss before answering.What you get:
* Use your existing subscriptions (no new accounts, just your CLI tools)
* 16 personas (Architect, Debugger, Security Expert, etc)
* Full permission control from read-only to autonomous
* Unified context when switching agentsTech: TypeScript, VS Code Extension API, shells out to claude-code&#x2F;codex-cli&#x2F;gemini-cliLicense: BSL 1.1, free for personal and educational use, converts to MIT in 2030 (would love input on this, does it make sense to just go MIT?)GitHub: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;DeepMyst&#x2F;Mysti" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;DeepMyst&#x2F;Mysti</a>Would love feedback on the brainstorm mode. Is multi-agent collaboration actually useful or am I just solving my own niche problem?

Hi!I run a small custom software company in Michigan.I want to get better at outbound sales beyond just cold emailing or messaging people through LinkedIn.We’re about to start publishing case studies and doing some outreach, so I want to take some time to study outbound sales and improve my skills.Any recommended courses, books, or frameworks for B2B outbound sales, consultative selling, or building effective outreach pipelines?Thanks!
