Pitch me your idea and I will build your MVP for free. Only one idea selected
by petebytes | 2025-07-04 05:59:50+00:00
## What's in it for you?

- I'll build your MVP completely FREE using AI tools (no traditional coding) - You'll own 100% of the code and product - The build process will be recorded and included in LaunchMuse course modules - You'll get the code for a working application that you can launch and grow

## Why I'm doing this?

I'm creating course content for LaunchMuse, and I want to show students a complete, real-world build from idea to launch that was not my own. I'm looking for ONE great idea to build from scratch, recording the entire process as video lessons. You get a free MVP, and my students get to learn from watching a real product being built.

## What I'm looking for?

- A clear problem that needs solving - An idea you're passionate about but haven't built yet - Something that could realistically be an MVP in 2-4 weeks

## Why Believe in me?

Because I've done this before - multiple times. Real apps, real users, real revenue. Partial Portfolio: [LaunchMuse.com](https://launchmuse.com)

## How to apply?

Drop a comment with:

1. *The Problem:* What specific issue are you solving? 2. *Your Solution:* How would your app fix this? 3. *Target Users:* Who needs this most? 4. *Why You:* What makes you passionate about this idea?

I'll pick one idea on July 11th and start building immediately.

I'm posting this offer in multiple communities and will select only ONE winning idea from ALL submissions across all platforms. By submitting, you're agreeing to have the build process recorded and used as educational content in the LaunchMuse course. Your idea, company name, and the development journey will be featured in course videos. You'll still own 100% of the final product and can do whatever you want with it.

Ship happens. But only if you start.

---

Please ONLY submit ideas you're comfortable publicly sharing and that will become of my educational content. You'll retain all rights to the final product.

Be warned, this article is misleading. The actual scientific paper shows a salinity‑driven weakening of stratification that likely allows more subsurface heat to reach the surface and melt sea ice. The article describes this as a complete overturning‑circulation reversal with dire carbon release consequences. These are claims that the paper itself does not make or substantiate. The paper actually does not use the words carbon or CO2 even once. The authors of the article took such liberties with this that I really believe this should be considered disinformation.

In some sense, that's working as intended for a lot of people, not just developers.

A lot of people who consume games don't want to foster lasting relationships, they want to tick the box saying "played game for X hours today" and move on.

I think that's pathological and, as you say, leads to lots of knock-on toxic effects in gameplay and community.

But it is the reality this is engineered for - a lot of people who play multiplayer games do not want to feel like they're doing something with other people when doing it, which is part of why you get lots of toxic interactions or entitled complaints about something which might be a good strategy but ruins the game experience for some of the people in the match.

Note that being Estonian OÜ (LLC) brings convenience of both having fully electronic communication towards any state affairs and also super easy to get (no even registration needed) yearly financial reports. Actually more-less the only touchpoint with state is the yearly report, no taxes until you have salaries, apply for VAT, deal with licensed area or really cash out the profits. Also you can be foreign, "e-resident" to use such OÜ.

The official company reporting source is https://ariregister.rik.ee/eng/company/16225385/Organic-Maps... . Yearly PDF reports are in Estonian language, but your favorite AI should help. The numbers are in actual EUR (not housands), so they seem to have 33KEUR profits, IMHO no huge piles of money to worry too much for.

I'm not interested in this Calvinball argument. The post we're commenting on makes a clear claim: an LLM hallucinating entire APIs. Not surreptitiously sneaking subtly shitty stuff past a compiler.

This is my problem: not that people are cynical about LLM-assisted coding, but that they themselves are hallucinating arguments about it, expecting their readers to nod along. Not happening here.

We've had a considerable number of layoffs impact the video game industry over the past few years ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022%E2%80%932025_video_game_i... ) and executive incompetence is a big factor in it.

Deciding to set a "success" target of 100 million players and then spending upwards of $400 million USD developing one title is a recipe for studio closures and/or layoffs when it inevitably "fails" because executive leadership didn't set reasonable targets or come up with a reasonable budget. It's a big house of cards.

A more diversified portfolio of titles with more reasonable budgets would be a much safer choice, and it's how things were done successfully in the past.

Of course! And yes, a Locus appears to be very close in concept to a strange attractor. I am especially interested in the idea of the holographic principle, where each node has its own low-fidelity map of the rest of the (graph?) system and can self-direct its own growth and positioning. Becomes more of a marketplace of meaning, and useful for the fuzzier edges of entity relationships that we're working with now.

You can improve on that

1. A type-strict compiler.

2. https://github.com/isaacphi/mcp-language-server

LLMs will always make stuff up because they are lossy. In the same way that if I ask you to list the methods for some random object lib you'd not be able to do that; you use the documentation to pull that up or your code-complete companion. LLMs are just getting the tools for that.

The Sahara was once a forest. Its desertification was not caused by human activity.

On the other hand for the Fertile Crescent: the overuse of irrigation and water steering with shorter term agricultural goals with only direct affects in mind. The area was largely marshlands in the past.

And also mismanagement of forests lead to desertification of formerly fertile areas on the timescale before the current large scale climate change era began. This was before humanity could have as big possible part in the forming of climate as currently.
by bruce511 | 2025-07-04 06:06:53+00:00
To be fair, LLMs are just the most recent step in a long road of doing the same thing.

At any point of progress in history you can look backwards and forwards and the world is different.

Before tractors a man with an ox could plough x field in y time. After tractors he can plough much larger areas. The nature of farming changes. (Fewer people needed to farm more land. )

The car arrives, horses leave. Computers arrive, the typing pool goes away. Typing was a skill, now everyone does it and spell checkers hide imperfections.

So yeah LLMs make "drawing easier". Which means just that. Is that good or bad? Well I can't draw the old fashioned way so for me, good.

Cooking used to be hard. Today cooking is easy, and very accessible. More importantly good food (cooked at home or elsewhere) is accessible to a much higher % of the population. Preparing the evening meal no longer starts with "pluck 2 chickens" and grinding a kilo of dried corn.

So yeah, LLMs are here. And yes things will change. Some old jobs will become obsolete. Some new ones will appear. This is normal, it's been happening forever.
by N_Lens | 2025-07-04 06:10:26+00:00
I use LLMs for coding everyday and agree with most of the article, even if it does attack me as an "indignant HackerNews mudpie commenter".

In the same vein, I've actually worked on crypto projects in both DeFi and NFT spaces, and agree with the "money for criminals" joke assessment of crypto, even if the technology is quite fascinating.

I agree with you, but you are omitting a key aspect of the problem which makes this hard. If you have a single server serving from a local sqlite database, caching and invalidating the cache is trivially easy.

It becomes way more difficult when you have N servers all of which could potentially serve the same data. Local caches could then, yes easily become stale, and even if you have a propagation mechanism, you couldn't guarantee against network failures or latency issues.

But suppose you have an HA redis instance that you store your cached data in. Even with a write-through cache, you basically need to implement a 2-phase commit to ensure consistency.

I have my own test to measure performance: https://omarabid.com/gpt3-now

So far the only model that showed significant advancement and differentiation was GPT-4.5. I advise to look at the problem and read GPT-4.5 answer. It'll show the difference to other "normal models" (including GPT-3.5) as it shows considerable levels of understanding.

Other normal models are now more chatty and have a bit more data. But they do not show increased intelligence.

Battlefield 4 was amazing. It's sad that after all they went through with the community engagement and updates to that game to make it so good, they threw it all away to start from scratch making vibrantly coloured battle royale slop worse than everyone else was already doing it.

I put somewhere over 12k hours into BF4 alone, and I've barely touched the series since. That game had the special sauce that they've failed to capture ever since. An updated remastered Battlefield 4 would perform incredibly well; ironically, my biggest fear for it would be that EA wouldn't be able to help themselves, giving a huge budget to a massive team and completely wrecking it by doing too much.

When a conjecture is disproven, it cuts off a line of research supported by that conjecture.

Is it possible to build a graph of research claims in math? Like a git or dependency tree for proofs (at the research mapping level, not the verification level). Even things like consensus (i.e. "widely believed to be true result") could be mapped. Especially if the scope is curated by experts in contrast with a wide map like the clustering or dimension reduction in projects like Paperscape [0]. Citations be damned.

Is anyone building this? What's the sota in this area?

SEEKING WORK | Remote | Worldwide

Hi HN! I'm a full-stack developer with a strong frontend focus - 10+ years of experience building fast, clean, and scalable web apps.

On the frontend, I work with React, Vue, and Svelte. On the backend, I've shipped systems using Go, Python, and Node (Nest.js, Django, FastAPI, etc). I enjoy working on thoughtful product design and efficient APIs just as much as hacking on UI.

Lately I've been freelancing through ainurhq.cloud, doing both client projects and internal tools. Some recent work includes:

● jsDelivr: contributed engineering support and improvements

● Radiabase: contributed to a CRM-style lead and sales management platform

● UniDeck: a no-code, plug-and-play dashboard builder with built-in integrations. Built from the ground up with my team at AinurHQ

I'm currently looking for freelance/contract roles (or possibly full-time) - ideally on a modern product team where I can contribute across the stack.

Feel free to reach out if you're building something interesting:

● mpourismaiel@gmail.com

● mpourismaiel.com

● GitHub: https://github.com/mpourismaiel

Tech stack:

· Languages: TypeScript, JavaScript, Go, Python

· Frontend: React, Vue, Svelte

· Backend: Nest.js, Express, Django, FastAPI, Gin

As the Google guy who did the system, I really don't want to engage in this discussion.

I'll just say that the b-systems solve a different problem, and for the problem solved by our system there is currently no other solution available.

We spoke with Ying Tong and her colleagues from the Ethereum foundation. They have a project investigating which ZK technology would be best for digital credentials, and they have ran a few benchmarks at https://hackmd.io/@clientsideproving/zkIDBenchmarks For reference, our implementation runs the benchmark in about 200ms on the same hardware. The ETHF folks have had access to our code for a while and they agree with this result, but they decided not to publish numbers until the Google code was open-sourced for all. Our system is thus about 10x faster than the closest contender for this problem.

I don't want to make any general claims about who is better than whom. Our system is designed for our problem, and it's not a surprise that another system designed for another problem would perform worse on our problem. We are big fans of the Binius system of Diamond and Posen at Irreducible, and there is a chance that Binius may eventually work better than our stuff. That's however not the case today.

You also have to be careful about which hardware to use. Our implementation is single-threaded no GPU because it has to run on all phones everywhere in the world. Whether or not one can do better on a high-end GPU is irrelevant to us.

Either way, "stale" is not a word I would use. The word I would use is "works today".
Show HN: Cco – a sandbox for Claude Code so you can YOLO made safe(ish)ly
by nikvdp | 2025-07-04 06:19:02+00:00
I love the feeling of using Claude Code with --dangerously-skip-permissions on, but it always made me feel a bit uneasy. It's not that hard to trick Claude into doing bad things, and with web search enabled especially, the odds of Claude running into prompt injection attacks or accidentally downloading and running a virus don't actually seem all that low.

Running Claude Code without web search and constantly having to respond to it's permissions prompts is so slow though! I wanted something that let me get the best of both worlds, so I (well, Claude mostly) ended up building cco, which runs Claude Code in a customized docker env that gives it access to all it's tools, but also keeps it safely away from the rest of your computer.

So far it's neatly solved my yolo mode misgivings, maybe it can solve yours too. It doesn't guarantee your computer will be 100% safe, but running Claude Code inside cco should definitely be safer.

You're just pushing much of the complexity to that notification layer.

What if an SQL update changes a million rows, and you had cached the sum of those million rows? Should it send a million notifications? Should it re-run the sum for you? What if it's a complex operation and it takes a while to re-compute, and another update arrives before the re-compute finishes?

And of course, you will always have some partitions, so you will occasionally need to re-query the data anyway and re-establish any kind of pubsub system. And the complexity in efficiently reconciling two views of a large amount of data is a major issue, that you are just brushing off as "you can do various things to maybe optimize the query".

> This was incorrect and sloppy work on our end. We made a quick fix and are working right now to do a proper fix that addresses the issues fully and cleanly.

There is no fix. Your work is derived and should be/will be licensed as GPL. You do not want to accidentally succeed and then find you have nothing. You are being a smart-ass here.
by SlowTao | 2025-07-04 06:22:56+00:00
The example I use is this. Falling of a building is harmless, standing on the ground is harmless. It is the transition that matters.

I'm sure we can survive fairly reasonably in whatever climate we end up with in a few hundred/thousand years, but the gap in between is a really doozy. The stories and myths about the selfish people of our times will go on for millennia.

It is the book series 'Carbon Ideologies' by William T Volleman, the opening few pages are written to those that read them in a few hundred years. Those that read these today are already convinced, those in the future will want answers. All he does is use examples of how we live to point out that we are not inherently evil, just looking out for our more immediate needs.

Of interest:

We identified why north Africa greened approximately every 21,000 years over the past eight million years. It was caused by changes in the Earth’s orbital precession - the slight wobbling of the planet while rotating. This moves the Northern Hemisphere closer to the sun during the summer months.

(2023) - https://theconversation.com/the-sahara-desert-used-to-be-a-g...

*What Really Turned the Sahara Desert From a Green Oasis Into a Wasteland?* - 10,000 years ago, this iconic desert was unrecognizable. A new hypothesis suggests that humans may have tipped the balance

(2017) https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/what-really-tu...

While I personally veer toward the more recent slight orbital variation cause, neither account factors much in the current AGW debate .. cyclic changes in local regions of the planet are a distinct issue from a steady rise in global atmospheric insulation properties.

Yup, notice that as well. A blurry vignette. Needle sharp in the center, but objects that are the same distance are blurry at the edges of the frame. At first I thought they use vintage lenses, but it's probably done in post.

I sometimes do something similar on photos, where I darken the edges a bit.

Hiding the entire history of this incident[1] behind a force push[2] to make it seem as if credit was given and proper license was chosen from the start really displays a lack of integrity, and tells me it’s definitely malicious (which should be quite clear from zero mention of the original project to begin with, but this act reinforces that) rather an inadvertent screwup.

I read TFA and looked over the PNAS article (https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2500440122) it is based on.

I believe the deep-ocean vents you mention are beside the point. The article is discussing the upwelling of cold, CO2-rich water in the Southern Ocean - not emissions from vents.

Also, it’s worth noting that the PNAS article does not mention CO2 per se, only upwelling. The article summary of the press release does draw the CO2 connection.

Besides the connections you mention, the PNAS article points out that this result illustrates that current models of ice/ocean interaction are not producing these observational trends.

The evidence clearly shows it was not a 'dumb mistake'

They claim they wrote the whole thing in 4 days. They did not attribute the original author in ANY way.

They clearly showed they intended to steal the authors work and sell it as if they wrote it. YC has just become such a dumpster fire if that kind behaviour is even remotely accepted or called a 'dumb mistake'

> But I wonder if they have run afoul of the EU Radio Equipment Directive in this case, by refusing to receive power from some devices.

Sorry for being out of the loop, but is this recent?

I have been annoyed on my ps5 dualsense controller since purchase, as it wont take charge from several of my USB-C cables. Most notably it refuses to take charge from my macbook USB-C charging cable.

One of those small annoyances, I need a "special" usb-c cable around just to charge my usb-c controller...

In fact, what you need is a dynamic sparse live hyperfragmented Transformer MoE, rather than a product like RNN that is destined to be backward...

In terms of microbiology, the architecture of Transformer is more in line with the highly interconnected global receptive field of neurons

Show HN: Dhansishtha-2.0-preview – First Intermediate Reasoning model
by VarunGuptaHAI | 2025-07-04 06:30:12+00:00
Hey HN,

We’re the team behind HelpingAI, and we’ve been experimenting with ways to make LLM reasoning faster and more efficient, especially for complex tasks like math problems, coding questions, and logic puzzles.

During a fine-tuning session of our older reasoning model, a bug accidentally introduced a think tag mid-response. Rather than break the model, it created a chain-of-thought style intermediate step — and the model got better. That bug inspired us to explore what we now call Intermediate Reasoning.

We scaled this up by fine-tuning Qwen3-14B on 3 trillion tokens of reasoning-specific data — curated for multistage reasoning tasks — and the results blew us away:

• 5x faster reasoning vs. models like DeepSeek-R1, Grok, and OpenChat.

• Significantly lower token usage and latency, ideal for startups and real-time use cases.

• Solves benchmark-level math and logic problems in seconds instead of minutes.

On a hard math benchmark, for example:

• Dhanishtha-2.0 solved it in 45s

• DeepSeek-R1 took 280+ seconds

You can try it here:

• Chat/API access: https://helpingai.co

• Model weights (open source): https://huggingface.co/HelpingAI/Dhanishtha-2.0-preview

We’d love feedback, ideas, and especially edge cases where you think it might break (or surprise you). Happy to answer any questions and go into training data, fine-tuning strategy, evals, or infra!

Thanks,

Varun Gupta

Honestly, it's because of the "can you do a ton of unpaid work to support my niche, non-commercial application" attitude of the OP, which I find to be extremely distasteful.

It's something I deal with frequently. I should not have taken it out on OP and I agree I could have communicated that much better.

Unfortunately, I can't edit my post or I would rephrase it significantly.

Sorry to user "Levitating", I was being a dick.
