Launch HN: Promi (YC S24) – Personalize e-commerce discounts and retail offershttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44649115Hey HN! I’m Peter from Promi (https://www.promi.ai/). We’re building a platform for ecommerce merchants to send realtime personalized discounts, optimized with AI (obviously)Demo: https://youtu.be/BCYNCqb4fUc, Sales Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WiO1S7RBn-oAll the big tech companies send personalized discounts - Uber, DoorDash, Google, etc. In fact, I was the product lead overseeing discounts at Uber, so if you’ve gotten a promotion on Uber Rides or Eats, that was our tech. These personalization models often generate >30% more revenue vs. non-personalized discounts (cost-neutral that is), so this is a hugely impactful product.It’s no surprise then that other merchants want to follow suit. Merchants don’t want to waste discounts on customers who would have purchased anyway. Frankly it’s not a new idea to offer a software solution to personalize discounts - plenty of other startups have entered this space with a similar product.The biggest problem with personalizing discounts fo

Show HN: Grid9 – 9-character coordinate compression with 3M precisionhttps://github.com/pedrof69/Grid9Hi HN! I've built Grid9, an open-source coordinate compression system that achieves what3words-level precision (3 meters) in just 9 characters instead of 19+.The motivation came from working with autonomous vehicle systems where bandwidth is precious and coordinate transmission is constant. Traditional lat/lon pairs are verbose (often 20+ characters), and while what3words is brilliant, even their 3-word format is lengthy for high-frequency telemetry.*Technical approach:* Grid9 uses uniform coordinate quantization - direct quantization in degree space with optimized bit allocation (22-bit latitude, 23-bit longitude). This simple approach achieves consistent precision globally without complex projections or circular dependencies. The result packs into exactly 45 bits, encoding perfectly as 9 base32 characters.*Performance:* - Encoding: 6.4M ops/second - Decoding: 7.0M ops/second - Memory: 32 bytes per operation - Written in C# with zero dependencies*Example conversions:* ``` 40.7128, -74

Tell HN: It feels weird and but oddly goodhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44625988I got access to Claude Max Pro few days ago with so I could use Claude Code to migrate a relatively complex app to a modern framework. I've tried various AI flows (ide/editor plugins, copy-paste chat windows, the usual), but I’d never tried the full "open a terminal and let her rip" approach.I pieced together a workflow from half-remembered blog posts (there are too many ways to coerce the machine), and to my surprise it mostly worked. Once I got going, the weird part is that I felt more like an editor than a developer. Sure, I was steering the conversation (half paying attention and focused on other important things like letting the dog out) but mostly I was just pressing enter, not furiously typing out rebuttals like I've seen in many posts.The strange part is that I tell the thinking machine what I want, hope for the best, and most of the time, I get what I want. Because I don't get what I want every time, the whole thing feels like the model is quietly saying "I have altered the de

Show HN: Made a CD interest for my familyhttps://cd-interest-calculator.comIt started, as many meaningful projects often do, not with a grand vision, but with a quiet frustration. I remember sitting with my aunt, a meticulous planner, as she tried to make sense of her savings. She had a small sum set aside and was looking into Certificates of Deposit, trying to find the best home for her hard-earned money. Bank websites were a maze of fine print, varying terms, and different compounding frequencies. She’d painstakingly jot down numbers, trying to compare a 3-year CD with quarterly compounding against a 5-year one with monthly compounding, all while battling the niggling fear of making a mistake. Her spreadsheet was a patchwork of formulas she wasn't entirely confident in, and the whole process left her feeling overwhelmed, not empowered.Watching her struggle, I felt a familiar ache. I’d been there myself. The financial world, for all its talk of transparency, often felt deliberately opaque. Calculating compound interest manually, or even with basic online too
