Recently built something where simple domain-specific heuristics crushed a fancy ML approach I assumed would win. This has me thinking about how often we reach for complex tools when simpler ones would work better. Occam&#x27;s razor moments.<p>Anyone have similar stories? Curious about cases where knowing your domain beat throwing compute at the problem.

Hi HN! I built VAM Seek because I was frustrated with 1D seek bars – you never know where you&#x27;re going until you get there.<p>VAM Seek renders a 2D thumbnail grid next to your video. Click any cell to jump. All frame extraction happens client-side via canvas – no server processing, no pre-generated thumbnails.<p>- 15KB, zero dependencies - One-line integration - Works with any &lt;video&gt; element<p>Live demo: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;haasiy.main.jp&#x2F;vam_web&#x2F;deploy&#x2F;lolipop&#x2F;index.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;haasiy.main.jp&#x2F;vam_web&#x2F;deploy&#x2F;lolipop&#x2F;index.html</a><p>Would love feedback!
