Continuum, a pedantic recreation of the OMNI font
"Pedantic" in this case means, "If it didn't show up in the magazine, it isn't part of the font." That means there are no lower-case letters and a few other symbols, but there are alternate letterforms as the font changed over the years. Default kerning is set to be as close to "type a word and get a perfectly set header" as possible, keeping in mind that was done by hand back in the day, and this is a digital recreation. Typing "OMNI" in "upper case" should emit a perfectly set masthead. Includes various symbols used throughout an issue, like the "Anti-matter" symbol and end-of-article…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
"Pedantic" in this case means, "If it didn't show up in the magazine, it isn't part of the font." That means there are no lower-case letters and a few other symbols, but there are alternate letterforms as the font changed over the years. Default kerning is set to be as close to "type a word and get a perfectly set header" as possible, keeping in mind that was done by hand back in the day, and this is a digital recreation. Typing "OMNI" in "upper case" should emit a perfectly set masthead. Includes various symbols used throughout an issue, like the "Anti-matter" symbol and end-of-article marker. Others have made similar typefaces, and I talk about how mine differs on the github README. At the end of the day, this is not "a font inspired by OMNI." It aims to BE the OMNI font.

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:…

Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
