Show HN: Umbilic Torus Model of 12‑Tone Harmony (Now, Live TCP Note Tracking)https://github.com/jimishol/cholidean-harmony-structureThis is a real‑time, interactive model of 12‑tone equal temperament harmony, projected onto an umbilic torus. Harmonic ordering is encoded as a closed 3D curve tracing the circle of fourths; adjacency is defined along this spiral.Previous 3D projections of 12‑tone equal temperament — including Tonnetz‑on‑torus visualizations, chord‑space topologies, and other geometric or topos‑inspired models — often represent harmonic adjacency through triangular lattices or higher‑dimensional embeddings. While these preserve the underlying relationships, the added lattice can make the global structure harder to perceive as a single, continuous form. In this model, the umbilic torus is shown without such overlays, so the harmonic spiral is seen as one uninterrupted 3D path. The smooth curvature is used purely for visual continuity and aesthetic clarity, not as a determinant of harmonic relations.The system now supports *Live TCP Note Tracking* — meaning any external tool (DAW, MIDI parser, audio analSep 1, 2025 11:46 AM

Show HN: First background agents in Jetbrains IDEs [video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuF2ajuxCOwTLDR: made the first background coding agent that has an isolated workspace and runs locallyHowdy - I’m Kevin, co-founder of Firebender, and we built the first background coding agent in android studio / Jetbrains!Why not just use Cursor background agents or OpenAI Codex?Both of these require setting up a cloud container and cloning your existing developer environment, and maintaining it. Then when you want to iterate on changes as AI inevitably makes a mistake, you either throw away the work, or have to pull down the branch and clean it up. This feels really clunky. With Firebender, background agents run locally in a lightweight git worktree/IDE tab. This means when the agent is done, you can easily clean up the changes and run code with a few clicks.Under the hood, the agent behaves similarly to claude code (didn’t want to reinvent the wheel), but also leverages all of the hooks into IntelliJ sdk like go-to-definition, find usages, auto-imports for accuracy, and it gives a cleaner viAug 26, 2025 4:50 PM

Show HN: Smooth – Faster, cheaper browser agent APIhttps://www.smooth.sh/Hey there HN! We're Antonio and Luca, and we're excited to introduce Smooth, a state-of-the-art browser agent that is 5x faster and 7x cheaper than Browser Use (https://docs.circlemind.co/performance).We built Smooth because existing browser agents were slow, expensive, and unreliable. Even simple tasks could take minutes and cost dollars in API credits.We started as users of Browser Use, but the pain was obvious. So we built something better. Smooth is 5x faster, 7x cheaper, and more reliable. And along the way, we discovered two principles that make agents actually work.(1) Think like the LLM (https://x.com/karpathy/status/1937902205765607626).The most important thing is to put yourself in the shoes of the LLM. This is especially important when designing the context. How you present the problem to the LLM determines whether it succeeds or fails. Imagine playing chess with an LLM. You could represent the board in countless ways - image, markdown, JSON, etc. Which one you choose matterAug 26, 2025 3:05 PM

Show HN: 70 Days → 800 GitHub Stars (Cold Start) – My Secret Was a Problem Maphttps://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/README.mdHi HN,I want to share a story that might resonate with anyone who has tried to launch an open-source project from zero visibility, zero budget, zero network.Seventy days ago I created a repo called WFGY. I had no prior followers, no launch partners, no ads. Today, it’s at 800 stars and counting. Pure cold start.The “secret”? Not marketing. Not tricks. It was building a Problem Map.---#### What is a Problem Map?Instead of claiming my system “improves reasoning” or “solves RAG bugs,” I wrote down 16 concrete failure modes engineers hit every day:* Embedding drift (semantic ≠ vector closeness) * Chunking collapse (half-sentence vs full chapter granularity mismatch) * Versioning hallucinations (index v1 + v2 = ghost hybrid doc) * Pre-deployment ingestion collapse * Prompt injection bypasses * … and 10 more, all documented.For each one I built a text-only “semantic firewall” module that fixes the issue without changing infra. Developers could see their exact bug listed, mapped, and patched.Aug 26, 2025 1:06 PM
