The Euro System as a (19,9,3,3)-System
Open-source framework for cryptography & data analysis
What it does
The entire system can be written as a single formula: N = 19A + 9B + 3C + 3D where A, B, C, D count the denominations in each layer. The coefficients 19, 9, 3, 3 are not arbitrary — they satisfy 19 ≡ 1 (mod 9), and each divides the next. For any amount N (in units of €0.10), the minimal starting value is always: A₀ = N mod 9 Computed in O(1).

Hi, I made this page to contextualize 13 billion euros (or 14): an amount due to Ireland in an EU Apple tax case and all over the airwaves here this week. I use some pretty silly back-of-the-envelope type calculations (the same ones also repeated a lot in Ireland this week!). These calculations aren't especially interesting, but at least they are present: you can see them, and you can change them. If you do - change the 13 billion to 14 billion for example, related numbers will flash with updates. It's an example using calculang[1]: a language for calculations, and an example that focuses on…
- IMI made a calculator that works over disjoint sets of intervalsApr 2026 · victorpoughon.github.io · ▲314
I've been studying interval arithmetic for the past few weeks and it's a really interesting field because while there is a ton of super interesting research published over the past decades, it has never really gotten the recognition that it deserves, IMO. One reason for this is that standard interval arithmetic has really poor handling of division by intervals containing zero. If you compute 1 / [-1, 2] in regular interval arithmetic, you get either [-∞, +∞], or you have to say that the operation is undefined. Both solutions are virtually useless. The real answer of course is [-∞, -1] U…

Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
