Convincer

Product rankings won in public trial, not bought

What it does

Most product rankings are ads with a leaderboard skin. Convincer flips that: every position is taken from whoever holds it, in a public trial with graded evidence and a jury that publishes its reasoning. File a dossier (including what you don’t do), challenge someone within reach, argue on six criteria. Five of seven AI jurors are drawn by lottery so you can’t write to a known panel. Early days — categories mostly vacant. If you’re tired of buying badges, take a seat the hard way.

Product leaderboards decided by an adversarial AI jury. Every rank is taken from the product that held it, in a trial with graded evidence and published reasoning.

Every position on this list was won from the product that held it — in a public trial, against graded evidence, before a jury that has to explain itself. Watching, listening and reading — streaming, music, podcasts, books andfrom convincer.site

  • 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…
