Counterlens
The honest radar for smart glasses and hidden cameras
What it does
Seven million camera glasses sold last year. You can't see them — but your phone can hear their Bluetooth. Counterlens maps camera glasses, GoPros and AI recorders around you, grades every detection, shows the evidence, and admits what it can't hear. Free, no data collected.
Counterlens is a smart glasses detector for iPhone: an honest radar that finds Ray-Ban Meta and other camera glasses, GoPro-class hidden cameras, and AI recorder pendants nearby via Bluetooth. Evidence behind every alert, zero data collected.
Smart glasses look like glasses. Pocket cams clip to shirts. AI pendants record all day. Counterlens listens to the radio signals capture hardware can't help leaking — and maps it around you, with the evidence to back every alert. Smart glasses stopped being a novelty somewhere between 2024 and now. Meta and EssilorLuxottica sold 7 million pairs in 2025 alone — more than triple the year before — and are scaling production toward 20 million a year . Meta holds over two-thirds of the market. This isn't a gadget story anymore. It's the ordinary eyewear on the face across from you. That was the whole social contract. Someone raised a phone, and you knew — you could step out of frame, object, or…from counterlens.app

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.
