Tethered — Wake Up or Pay Up

The alarm that charges you money if you snooze

What it does

When oversleeping costs you actual cash, your brain stops treating the alarm as a suggestion. For chronic oversleepers who've tried everything, this is the fix that works. Every alarm app assumes a louder sound or harder puzzle will override your half-asleep brain. They won't. You'll solve the math with your eyes closed and crawl back into bed. The problem was never the alarm—it's that there's no real consequence for ignoring it. Tethered is the only app that puts your money on the line.

  • Hey we are Computable. We spent years building trading infrastructure at Jump Trading and Coinbase. From that point of view, compute looks like energy markets before 2000: everything trades through private bilateral leases, there’s no visible price, and nothing can be resold. The same H100 rents at a 2x spread depending on who’s asking, and once you sign a 24-month lease, it can never change hands. So we built a market for GPU nodes, sold by the calendar week. Here are three things you can do on it that you can’t do anywhere else: - Buy exactly the weeks you need. Three nodes for the last…

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
