Scout
Know your candidate's Trust Score before you interview
What it does
Scout is AI screening built for one problem: remote hiring made it too easy to fake being a person. Every candidate runs through Scout's multi-point Trust Check and comes out with a clear Trust Score, a straightforward signal of confidence before you commit an interview slot. Pair it with our partner - PinPoint Verify, in-person notarized ID check, for a two-layer defense: Scout filters risk out of the funnel, PinPoint confirms your finalist is real and U.S.-based. Built by Ontrac Solutions.
Two layers of defense against remote hiring fraud: Scout AI screening flags fabricated applications, PinPoint Verify adds a notarized in-person ID check.
Fabricated resumes. Borrowed identities. AI interview avatars. Remote hiring quietly became one of the easiest places for fraud to enter a business. Ontrac closes that gap. Our AI screening system flags fabrication before you waste an interview slot. A notarized, in-person ID check behind every finalist — confirming they're real and located in the U.S. When the interview, the paperwork, and day one all happen over a screen, the friction that used to expose a bad actor disappears. No lobby. No handshake. No ID checked at a front desk. Resumes, work histories, and profiles manufactured to pass a keyword scan, not to describe a real person. The person who interviews isn't the person who shows…from ontracsolutions.net

We are a recruiting startup with a small twist. We represent engineering candidates who receive a recommendation through our personalized vetting process, which includes a technical interview with an unbiased third-party senior engineer. We match the candidates with interviewers based on their background and the roles they are looking for. We pay for the senior engineer's time to interview so that the feedback is completely unbiased. These interviews are unique in that they are not set up to test if a candidate is a fit for a pre-set role, but instead they are personalized to extract each…

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…
