Claim the Earth
Stand on a piece of Earth, tap once, keep it forever
What it does
The planet, divided into 1.66 trillion hexagons (~307 m² each). Stand on one, tap, and it's yours permanently. The first person there keeps it forever. Attach a photo of the exact ground you claimed; a daily feed shows everyone 10 random ones. 180,000+ hexes claimed across 98 countries in under two weeks, including one man who walked 20 km and claimed 1,566 in a day. Free, browser-only, no install. Built in a few days as a side project. Now it's a race to a million.
Stand somewhere and claim that 22-metre hexagon of Earth, free, permanently. First claim wins it forever. No app to install, and claiming never costs anything.
Claim the hexagon of Earth you are physically standing in. Every claim is free and permanent, and the first claim on a hexagon wins it forever. You will need JavaScript and location access to use thefrom claimthe.earth

Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…

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.
