Brain Preflight
Airline pilot selection tests as a daily brain workout
What it does
Airlines select cadet pilots with brutal cognitive tests: working memory, mental math, multitasking, spatial reasoning. Brain Preflight turns those mechanics into a daily trainer with 2-minute rounds — 17 exercises, ranks from Student Pilot to Captain, streaks, weakness diagnostic. Prepping a selection? Targeted program, countdown, mock exams. Fair warning: it's hard on purpose — if it feels easy, flight school is calling. Free tier, offline-first, EN/FR, no aviation knowledge needed.

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS. NEW — Practice mode (Premium) Train the reasoning tests without a countdown: the clock counts up instead of down, and the end-of-session recap shows your thinking time round by round, so you can see exactly where you get stuck. Speed tests keep their pace — that's what they measure. Nothing is saved to your progress: practice freely, then go back to real conditions. Also in this update: • Premium: your access end date now shows on the home screen, straight from the App Store — plus more robust subscription syncing. • Odd or even: visible timer and a tighter session (5 rounds). • Game instructions rewritten — clearer and…from apps.apple.com

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!

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.
