Poof
Pay to delete your competitor. They pay more to come back.
What it does
A public wall of products. $10 puts yours on it. $20 takes someone else off - and they don't have to be listed already. Paste their URL, we put them on the wall and poof them straight back off, with your product's name and link on the tombstone. Signing is free. They pay $10 more to come back. Then it's your turn again, and the price only moves one way. Nothing happens to their real site. Real charges, public receipts, nothing paid out to anyone. The house keeps it. That's the joke.
Buy your spot on the wall for $10, or pay $20 to poof a competitor off it. Every round costs $10 more. Public receipts, no payouts.
$20 poofs a product nobody has listed yet, with your name on the tombstone. Anything already on the wall costs what the last person paid plus $10 — the price is on the listing. Putting your own product up is $10, and getting poofed is the point. Paste their URL. We put them on the wall and take them straight back off, in one payment. Free. Every kill is a public receipt at its own permanent URL, carrying your product's name and a link back. They can buy their way back. Then it's your turn again — and the price only goes onefrom getpoofed.com

- IMI mixed selling t-shirts with a little bit of game theory2012 · getnifty.com · ▲171
I had this idea rolling around in my head for the last couple of years, and I finally decided to build the damned thing just to get idea relief. The backend is a typical LAMP stack with the Symfony2 framework backing the P. Varnish sits in front of all the Chef managed Linode boxes. The site will work without Javascript (up until the checkout), and the style degrades really nicely depending on your viewport (try it out by resizing your browser). I'm open to all comments and critiques, so let me hear them. And if you are into graphic t-shirts, here is a code for a Hacker News 20% discount:…

Hey HN. This is a weekend project of mine. It's an idea I had after seeing so many comments here about the lack of available .com names for startups. As PG once said: "Take a luxury and make it into a commodity"[1]. So, I decided I'd try turning name consulting from something only large corporations could afford to something anyone could. I hope you'll take me up on it :) If you'd like to see a few examples of my work, just check out the links in the footer. Thanks for your attention. [1] http://www.paulgraham.com/ideas.html

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.
