Show HN: How to Get a Fable CoT for the Jacobian Conjecture Refutationhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48986943Since the publication of the Jacobian Conjecture refutation, many people have asked for a Chain of Thought to be published so they can better understand the mathematical intuition that leads to the counterexample.Since none was published, I tried to "clean room reverse engineer" it: give one Claude Fable the result and ask it to generate a writeup of how to arrive at it without any spoilers, then ask a second Fable to follow the write up, if it's too easy remove details, if it's too hard add hints. I could have simplified further, I stopped because it's time to sleep, and I'm sharing because it gave me some intuition for what's going on.This is what a successful run looks like (sadly Anthropic hide Chains of Thought):https://claude.ai/share/80526d56-1c23-407d-8f5c-59a704221454## IntuitionThis is my understanding of the interesting ideas (probably too summarized for Fable to consistently get it without a good harness; take with a grain of salt, I'm not a mathematician; later there is a

Show HN: Velprium - Time Workspacehttps://www.velprium.com/Hi HN, I'm Minjae, a solo developer.- About two years ago, I came up with an idea and worked on it as a side project for about three months, but I had to quit because I was overwhelmed by my main job.However, when I recently used a coding agent to configure the specifications and have the development done, the implementation speed was incredibly faster than it was two years ago. So, I focused on refining the specifications and rode that momentum to launch the service in just two weeks.- The reason I developed Velprium was the problem of my data being scattered across multiple places when recording my day. Calendar, Notion, Obsidian, and various other collaboration tools...I even tried a paper bullet journal, but I failed every time I had to transfer notes between digital and analog formats.That led me to think, "What if I added Notion's properties to calendar events?" Traditional calendars consist of an x-axis representing time and a y-axis limited to just title and description. So I a

At the end of 2024 something changed in me, so I started my Project Riace to get fit, and while doing this I built an app that helped me on my plan.Starting at 87.8 kg with 28% body fat, I'm now 72 kg with 11% body fat, without losing any muscles (actually I gained about 1kg) and this thanks to a nutritionist, a personal trainer and lot of tennis. No shortcuts, just eating well and training seriously each day, starting from 10 minutes each morning, every morning.Why I'm telling you this? Because I'm in this new better version of me, thanks also to AI.I trained Claude with my nutritional plan made by my doctor, my exercise made by my tr

Ask HN: If you're running LLM bots on HN, can you at least report results?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48984609There are a large, and increasing, number of LLM-written comments on HN.If you're one of the people running these bots I have two questions for you:1. Why? I assume most of them are for advertising/astroturfing/propaganda purposes, but I'm really hoping some of you are doing interesting experimentation at least in exchange for making us suffer through the slop.2. How often does your bot's comment pass muster? I notice many of the obvious ones downvoted heavily, but I assume I'm being fooled a decent amount of the time. What's the best upvote/downvote ratio you've managed?If you're an LLM bot, post a recipe for uranium cake instead.

Show HN: Neuron. Turn a SQL query history into a semantic layerhttps://www.momentaanalytics.com/free-trialMy cofounder and I previously ran analytics groups in life sciences. That means we led teams of analysts who typed SQL all day long and we ran into common issues of consistency, correctness, and knowledge transfer. We were always one resignation away from losing all of the history on a project or a client.When we left that world we thought we could solve the problem with auto-documentation. Cut to now and we've landed on the modern version of that solution, which is to turn previously executed queries into context for AI. The intuition is roughly this: a smart analyst can read SQL and have a pretty good idea of what's going on, and in fact can infer a lot of institutional knowledge about the domain and how to analyze particular data. LLMs are not great at this (Anthropic and Snowflake have written as much). So we act as the "smart analyst" to pull out institutional knowledge and practices (in the form of SQL) that you can give to an LLM so that it can code like a competent analyst on y

Show HN: Roll Solver – daily multiplayer word puzzle PWAhttps://rollsolver.comSo I started this project because my wife wanted a way to check if her word dice game rolls were solvable to avoid wasting time on a roll. I started a building a tool that accepts a picture of the dice and quickly answers if the roll can be solved. Well, that quickly devolved into building a highly-optimized solver efficient enough to run in the browser on WebGPU. Once the solver worked, it turned into an excuse to finally explore multiplayer game dev, which I did with PartyKit and some Cloudflare primitives (durable objects, D1, workers). During this process it all became an actual game I shipped.Where the games features ended up:- A "daily" mode where everyone gets the same 12 tiles each day, and the scoring goal randomly changes (most words, longest word, most crossings, rarest words) tracking streaks and leaderboards.- Real-time multiplayer- 1v1, or drop an invite link into a group chat and up to 10 people race the same roll live, one Durable Object per match room.

Show HN: Free creator brand-safety checker, no signuphttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48981273Hi HN, I'm Yuri, co-founder of Oriane. Like a lot of people here, I'd rather write code than do marketing. But at some point growth means working with creators, and that part is stubbornly manual. Before you pay someone to post about your product, you're supposed to actually watch their stuff and make sure it won't blow up in your face. Nobody does this well because watching 3 months of video across 20 accounts is nobody's idea of a good time.The annoying part is that the signal you care about isn't in the metadata or the captions. It's inside the videos: what's said out loud, what's on screen, who they're actually talking to. So the easy-to-scrape stuff is useless and the useful stuff is expensive to look at.So we built a pipeline that ingests TikTok and Instagram video and runs vision plus transcription over it, so you're querying the actual content instead of the classic metadata. This free (and no sign up) tool is a thin front-end over that same API.How it works: paste an account,

A B2B marketing agency grew to $1.5M ARR in 6 months by betting on AIhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48980665I run GrowthSpree, a B2B SaaS marketing agency, selling into the US and Europe. Six months ago we made a bet that the agency model itself was broken for the AI era, so we tore ours down and rebuilt it. This is what we did and what actually happened. The bet: become the first truly AI-native marketing agency. Not an agency that "uses AI tools" by bolting ChatGPT onto a 2015 workflow, but one where AI is wired into how we find demand, win clients, and run delivery. We rebuilt the operating model, not just the toolbar.The context that matters: we have worked with 300+ B2B SaaS companies, but we'd been stuck between $500K and $800K ARR for two years. Plateaued. Then in the six months since the rebuild we went to $1.5M, almost entirely in the US and Europe, where we had no brand. Clients now include Datahub, PriceLabs, Hasura, Rocketlane, Proton AG, Spoke and more.What changed:1. We bet on AEO over SEO. Buyers now ask an LLM before they ask Google. So we built our own Answer Engine Optimiza

Ask HN: I stopped fighting AI over-reliance and built a workflow around ithttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48979474I am a frontend engineer and actively use AI. I caught myself that i never write code manually, only if i have to tweak some styling. I feel lazy and dumb compared to pre-AI era. Even if i have to write some small changes in code that take like 2 minutes - it is easier to spend those 2 minutes explaining everything in details to AI and point out what and how it needs to change. Because i dont have to think about the process, i only explain the idea and desired solution - then wait until its done to review.Thats some kind of degradation. But the thing is that the quality is amazing. My productivity and speed increased significantly.But there is a frustrating thing. The laziness started affect even review process. I feel like i dont want to spend time to read and check all the changes - i will better ask another AI to do it. And it works!
