AgroShield
Crypto-powered crop insurance for african smallholders
What it does
AgroShield is a decentralized parametric crop insurance platform on the Stellar blockchain that gives smallholder farmers fast, affordable protection against drought. Instead of slow manual claims, it uses weather data: if rainfall falls below a set threshold, the smart contract automatically pays the farmer. Built for maize farmers in Makueni, Kenya, it also offers early alerts, crop advice, and an on-chain coverage history to improve future access to credit.

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
