SpotWar

Stake your spot. Never lose it.

What it does

SpotWar is a 24×24 town of advertising lots. You stake any amount on a startup's URL, and the stake never expires and never gets refunded just for losing — it's added to a permanent, cumulative total for that lot. The biggest total stake holds the 3D building and the map pin. Ranks 2 and 3 get sidewalk signs. Everyone else keeps a text row on the board, forever. Get outranked and you don't lose your spot on the board — you just lose the building, until you stake again.

SpotWar is software for listing your product on a live 24×24 town leaderboard. Sign in, place your URL on a lot, and stay active to hold better real estate. Every listing stays on the board.

    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.
