Codex Speeder

Less repo search, fewer wrong edits, faster Codex work

What it does

Help Codex find the right files, callers, risks, and tests before it codes. Local-first, built for Python and TypeScript, and measured 19% faster with 34% fewer input tokens in a controlled cross-file benchmark. $29 one-time.

Polar is the Merchant of Record for developers building AI-era software: payments, subscriptions, and usage-based billing, with global tax handled for you.

The speed at which Polar is executing on the financial infrastructure primitives the new world needs is very impressive. Polar's Python SDK and Webhook infrastructure made our billing integration straightforward. I think it benefits everyone for devs to have more options to get paid to work on their passions, to support upstreams, and for users to have more confidence/transparency in the software they're supporting/purchasing. Polar has been giving us the high attention support of a startup, with an enterprise-level product andfrom polar.sh

  • 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.

  • Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

    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…
