I built a "Socratic" AI to stop my daughter from copy-pasting homeworkFeb 2026 · thinkqurio.com · ▲35Hey HN, I’m a dev and a dad to a 10-year-old. I built this because I caught my daughter using ChatGPT to do her history homework. She wasn't learning; she was just acting as a "middleware" between the AI and the paper. The Backstory: I realized the problem isn't the AI—it's the zero-friction answers. Most "AI for kids" apps are just "parrots"—they mimic intelligence by repeating patterns. What’s Different: Qurio is a "Bicycle" for the mind. It treats the child like a future "Architect" rather than a "Junior Executor." Technically, it wraps an LLM in a strict "Socratic Loop." It detects…
- CACogitator – A Python Toolkit for Chain-of-Thought Prompting2025 · github.com · ▲54
Hi everyone, I made an open-source Python toolkit/library, named Cogitator, to make it easier to try and use different chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning methods. The project is at the beta stage, but it supports using models provided by OpenAI and Ollama. It includes implementations for Cot strategies and frameworks like Self-Consistency, Tree of Thoughts, and Graph of Thoughts. GitHub link of the project: https://github.com/habedi/cogitator

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 there HN! We’re Joe and Stopa, and today we’re open sourcing InstantDB, a client-side database that makes it easy to build real-time and collaborative apps like Notion and Figma. Building modern apps these days involves a lot of schleps. For a basic CRUD app you need to spin up servers, wire up endpoints, integrate auth, add permissions, and then marshal data from the backend to the frontend and back again. If you want to deliver a buttery smooth user experience, you’ll need to add optimistic updates and rollbacks. We do these steps over and over for every feature we build, which can…
