Hansel is a sovereign, end-to-end encrypted communication platform built for teams and individuals who refuse to let a corporation own their communications. Your email runs on your infrastructure. Your messages are encrypted on your device. No company can flip a switch and lock you out. Built by Kemone Phillips & Bob (AI Engineering Partner) — Seedling.io Google cancelled a Workspace subscription and locked the account owner out of their own email, contacts, and documents — instantly, without recourse. No warning. No grace period. No appeal that mattered. Every other communication platform makes the same silent promise: "We'll hold your data, and we'll be reasonable about it."

    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.
