Rhetoriq
Fallacy detection for any real-world text
What it does
Rhetoriq analyzes arguments in messy real-world text: Reddit comments, headlines, heated replies, where something valid and something fallacious often share a sentence. Select or paste text and it flags the weak passage, names the fallacy from a fixed set of 16 most common fallacies. It notes what's strong, and scores the whole thing 0-100. Also checks your own reply before you send it. Built to analyze the argument as a whole, not just hunt for labels.
Assess the strength of any argument. Spot logical fallacies, identify weak points, and generate a sharp response. For Android.
Rhetoriq assesses the strength of an argument, highlights what’s strong, flags logical fallacies, and delivers a well-reasoned response. “ Solar power is now cheaper than coal in most markets , so anyone against it is just pushing oil propaganda .” Logical fallacy. Attacks the person instead of the counterargument. “ Research shows that higher wages increase productivity , but if we raise the minimum wage, the entire economy will collapse .” Verifiable claim. Based on economic research, not assumptions. Logical fallacy. Jumps from a single wage increase to economic collapse without supporting the intermediate steps. “ The data shows that cycling infrastructure reduces accidents , so you’re…from rhetoriq.nl

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 HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

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…
