Show HN: Shoehorn, a library to quantize an LLM to fit your Mac's VRAMhttps://github.com/notactuallytreyanastasio/shoehornI made this after seeing someone posit the idea online yesterday over lunch then spent some time refining it. So far it's pretty impressive IMO! Right now I am running Qwen3-30B-A3B on my 24gb unified memory m4 MacBook Pro at 50 tok/sec and this should definitely not be working for such a large model on my middling hardware.Things are detailed in the README to get up and running and DESIGN.md has details on all the choices and such made along the way.

Ask HN: Should hard-tech founders join a problem or technology-first PhD lab?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49299333I'm an engineering undergrad considering pursuing a PhD with the long-term goal of founding a hard-tech startup. I’m undecided about the specific area and only have a vague sense of what interests me -- industrial decarbonization, mining / mineral processing, and advanced materials are a few areas that currently seem exciting.However, I'm unsure which type of PhD lab would provide better preparation: either a problem-first lab (e.g., like Yet-Ming Chiang at MIT) or a technology-first lab (e.g., your typical academic lab that focuses on novel science without a predetermined application, and where commercialization happens largely by chance — when a technology happens to have a valuable market application).I've looked at advice online from successful hard-tech entrepreneurs, but the answers are conflicting. Some say to work backwards from a problem, but others argue that problem-first approaches often don't work since deep tech is inherently different: you often can't force a scientific

Show HN: A painting engine that lets you sculpt drawings (tech demo)https://softedge-techdemo.jign.workers.dev/This is a playable tech demo. All painting software (Photoshop, Krita, etc.) rasterize your strokes as you work. This means the stroke is frozen forever. You may use some tools like perspective warp or liquefy but they are quite limited. The Soft Edge engine instead keeps a record of your strokes as data and rasterization happens on the fly, on each frame, like in a game engine. This lets you sculpt any property of your stroke.Right now you can paint the following targets: pressure (which makes the stroke thicker or thinner), colour, and its position (you can grab the stroke after it was drawn).The UI is a shell written in React. The more interesting part is the renderer, it's coded in Rust and compiled to WASM and WebGPU. The performance is quite nice, and has room to improve even more. All input is routed through WASM so pointer events are really, really fast, stroke polling feels like a completely native app, there's no React sluggishness anywhere in the actual painting process.

Show HN: Atlas – like GeoGuessr but multiple choice, daily, no sign-uphttps://wild.space/atlasBeen building atlas the past few months. A mobile webapp game, like Geoguessr, but with answer options (correct vs two decoys) which makes it a bit quicker.You're dropped somewhere and have to guess correctly as fast as possible. Every day at midnight UTC 5 new places will appear, same 5 for everyone in the world. So that’s the global league table.Every place you get right fills in your personal atlas map, which slowly becomes a picture of the places you know around the world.There are also live rounds where you can challenge friends (everyone sees the same place at the same moment) and slow async expeditions where a group fills a shared map over weeks.In ‘Tourist’ mode you play global locations around the world (randomised).In ‘Local’ mode you play neighbourhoods of cities or islands. In order to “own” a place you have to Ace it (5/5) - then your atlas map lights up with that place in blue.Some choices we made building this that HN might appreciate: 1. There is no “account”, no signup

Ask HN: Do you know how much head hunters cost?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49298538I was surprised to learn today that the candidate I interviewed (who came from a head hunter vice someone submitting direct through our job post portal), was 25% of the first year's salary.As the person doing the hiring that kind of incentives me to strive for a lower salary, at least for that first year. I'm not going to do that since we aren't in diar straits, the offer will be appropriate for the role and industry comps, I was just surprised to learn that and wondered if anyone on HN was surprised as well.I was a head hunter candidate/new hire previously and now I'm wondering if/how that up-front fee may have affected my own offer at that time.Honestly, the candidate is worth the head hunter fee, but I'm more looking at this through the lens of the job candidate who could have applied on their own. As a direct candidate, you can negotiate for a sign-on bonus that is, say 15% of your target salary, and the hiring company shouldn't blink an eye (if you confidently know you're a solid
