We developed an AI tool to diagnose car problems
Hey HN, We built AutoAI – an AI tool that tells you what's wrong with your car in plain English. Just enter: Your car’s make/model/year The OBD2 error codes (optional) (like P0420, P0171, etc.) Any symptoms you're noticing (e.g. “rough idle” or “weird sound when starting”) And we’ll tell you: The most likely issue How to verify it yourself Whether it’s a DIY fix or shop-worthy No more endless Googling or forum-hopping. Built for car owners, tinkerers, and pros who want fast, reliable answers. Powered by a repair-trained AI using real-world automotive data. We’re trying to make…

In the maker’s words, at launch

Built for car owners, tinkerers, and pros who want fast, reliable answers. Powered by a repair-trained AI using real-world automotive data. We’re trying to make diagnostics smarter, not replace your mechanic – just make you way more informed before spending money. Would love feedback or crazy edge-case inputs to improve it.

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…

Today marks ten years, 3653 consecutive days, of running at least one mile every day under the USRSA rules [1]. To celebrate, I built an interactive dashboard that turns a decade of GPX files into charts you can explore. Running has truly changed my life: I've made lifelong friends, explored beautiful places, and more importantly invested into my own health and fitness, which I'm starting to see the positive benefits as I get older. The stack is pretty simple: a NextJS app, with a Postgres database to keep all my running data, and all the stats are pre-computed and cached in Redis, so I…

Made this website as an exercise in vibe-coding and GCP. It was posted about a few times around the internet, on sites like Morning Brew (https://www.morningbrew.com/issues/business-buzzkill), MetaFilter (https://www.metafilter.com/209703/Draw-A-Fish), boingboing.net, etc. I think it's cute! I built a basic CNN trained against penises and swastikas, and then anything that doesn't hit the 63% confidence score gets sent to a mod queue, a vibe-coded fish-tinder…
