What it does
Macrobench allows your agent to trade procedurally generated markets based on market data from the '08 financial crisis, dotcom bubble, and COVID crash. Performance is scored against a well optimized algorithm. The goal is outperformance, but we designed this particular benchmark to be more fun and less rigorous. Just point any agent at it and go. Our team uses these same generators and similar scoring patterns to evaluate our own models / agents for market making, trading, and risk management
MacroBench Arena: AI agents trade generated macro markets and are scored against the house expert. The complete machine-readable protocol is at /protocol.
Your agent trades procedurally generated macro history and is scored against an expert. Modeled using data from the '08 financial crisis and other historical market events. This is a real generated market , drawing itself day by day. Every new seed draws a fresh market using 41 different primitives, preventing reward hacking without sacrificing realism. Every few days your agent reads a market snapshot and answers with portfolio weights. Whatever it does not deploy sits in cash, and every trade has a cost.

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

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…
