Launch HN: BitBoard (YC P25) – AI agents for healthcare back-officesHi HN! We’re Connor and Ambar, and we’re working on BitBoard (https://bitboard.work). We build AI agents that handle repetitive administrative tasks in healthcare clinics like filling out intake forms, prepping charts, or managing referrals.We were early employees at Forward, which provided primary care across the US. To scale this, we relied on thousands of remote contractors to do repetitive administrative work like reconciling patient records, and scheduling follow-ups based on care plans. It was a huge bottleneck—expensive, error-prone, and always pulling attention away from clinical care. Our software solutions were always too brittle, never managing to handle the variance of clinical data we oversaw.AI, when applied well, is capable of performing a lot of the tasks we manually did. So we decided to take another crack at the problem by building today what we would have liked to have back then, and to help clinics use it.Clinics send us their SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures—for

Ask HN: Using GPT as a logic circuit instead of a text generator – Anyone tried?A few days ago, I shared an early experiment called Resonant Seed Ver.0, which aimed to activate LLMs through semantic field resonance instead of prompt-based logic. Building on that, I’ve been testing a hash-driven, deterministic decision system.As an independent researcher new to AI, I’ve been exploring how GPT can behave not as a generator, but as a structure-bound judgment interpreter.——Concept: Hash-Based Judgment SimulationInstead of sending open text, I supply a core_ref hash that points to a predefined decision structure. In Core Ver.1, the structure includes condition, judgment, and action. It does not support nested sub_nodes.The payload is encrypted using AES-256-GCM and marked as interpretation: disabled, meaning GPT cannot access or interpret it. All execution occurs externally (e.g., via FastTrack or Insight Router). GPT performs structural simulation only—never execution.—-Why This Approach?Prompt-based output is unstable and non-reproducible. I wanted to control judgmen

Show HN: Fast Random Library for C++17Morning HN.Random number generation feels is a somewhat underrepresented topic in the C++ realm. There is a lot of questionable info about it found online and even the standard library is quite behind the times in terms of it's algorithms. It suffers from trying to accommodate sometimes impractical standard requirements and has several ways of getting significantly bad statistical results. This leaves a lot easily achievable performance & quality on the table.So, being a mathematician who mostly works with stochastic models and wants these models to run fast and well, I embarked on a journey of trying to summarize "what is good and what is bad" and implement the "best stuff there currently is".Thankfully, the design of C++ is quite flexible and easy to extend. With some cleanup, generalization and compile-time logic all the different algorithms can be wrapped in a generic standard-compatible API.A result of this work is single-header RNG library which has: - -compatible generators (PRN

Show HN: Flux KontextFLUX.1 Kontext is a new image editing model from Black Forest Labs. It is the best in class model for editing images using text prompts, and the latest addition to the FLUX.1 family.In our tests we’ve found Kontext to give accurate and brilliant results. It’s better and cheaper than OpenAI’s 4o/gpt-image-1 model (and there’s no yellow tint).There are three models, two are available now, and a third open-weight version is coming soon:FLUX.1 Kontext [pro]: State-of-the-art performance for image editing. High-quality outputs, great prompt following, and consistent results. FLUX.1 Kontext [max]: A premium model that brings maximum performance, improved prompt adherence, and high-quality typography generation without compromise on speed. Coming soon: FLUX.1 Kontext [dev]: An open-weight, guidance-distilled version of Kontext.

Show HN: I rewrote my Mac Electron app in RustA year ago, my co-founder launched Desktop Docs here on HN. It's a Mac app we built with Electron that uses CLIP embeddings to search photos and videos locally with natural language. We got positive feedback from HN and our first paying customers, but the app was almost 1GB and clunky to use.TLDR; rebuilding in Rust was the right move.So we rewrote the app with Rust and Tauri and here are the results:- App size is 83% smaller: 1GB → 172MB - DMG Installer is 70% smaller: 232MB → 69.5MB - Indexing files is faster: A 38-minute video now indexes in ~3 minutes instead of 10-14 minutes - Overall more stability (old app used to randomly crash)The original version worked, but it didn't perform well when you tried indexing thousands of images or large videos. We lost a lot of time struggling to optimize Electron’s main-renderer process communication and ended up with a complex worker system to process large batches of media files.For months we wrestled with indecision about continuing to optimi

Show HN: A tool to post-process MVT vector tiles quicklyI'm a big fan of Protomaps' OSM vector tiles [0], but I wanted to tweak them just a bit (removing features and tags based on some conditions). Instead of regenerating the tiles from scratch using Planetiler, I made a tool that takes an input PMTiles archive and a filter GeoJSON, and spits out the filtered tiles. Filtering is performed by a mapbox/maplibre style spec-inspired filter language in the properties of each GeoJSON feature, so you can apply different rules for different regions.Eventually, I'll probably add some features like adding new features, but for now, this is good for 90% of what I need the tiles to do.[0] https://protomaps.com/

When a Giant Sells You a GhostIn today’s tech-driven economy, high-performance computing systems are the beating heart of innovation — from life sciences to automotive AI. Yet behind the polished marketing campaigns of some major global suppliers, there lies a darker and more troubling reality.A small British innovation company recently found itself in an impossible position.They had entered into what appeared to be a promising deal with the UK subsidiary of a large US-based enterprise technology manufacturer — a household name. The agreement involved financing the acquisition of a specialised high-performance server, sold as new, state-of-the-art, and mission-ready.What they received was a system that, within days of installation, failed to operate as advertised. Investigations revealed indications that the equipment had been previously used, and internal communications suggested that even the supplier’s own staff were aware of problems.But here’s the true outrage: the financing contract — designed by the supplier

Show HN: Low-backlash Angular gearbox and 3D-printed wrist differential [video]I recently spent several months designing and prototyping a low-backlash angular gear drive. The goal was to create a compact transmission for robotic wrists that avoids bevel gears and belts — while still transmitting torque smoothly at various angles.The design was inspired by roller pinion linear systems, but adapted for angular motion. Paper: https://www.mdpi.com/2076-3417/12/11/5620To be honest, I couldn’t figure out the tooth profile for the straight pinion variant, so I brute-forced it — by writing a script that rotates two bodies at a set gear ratio and performs boolean cuts between them.I 3D-printed several prototypes, including a working wrist differential with embedded reducers and a double hollow shaft drive.Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/VXcuryyRGboWould love to get feedback — especially from those working in robotics or mechanical design.

Ask HN: Is Microsoft moving away from powerful creative Surface devices?I noticed that Microsoft has discontinued the Surface Laptop Studio 2, with no clear plans for a Studio 3. At the same time, they're rolling out new Surface models powered by Snapdragon X Plus and Intel Core Ultra chips, emphasizing AI capabilities and battery life. There’s also a growing focus on Copilot+ PCs and Surface for Business, but I’m wondering: Is this a pivot away from performance-heavy, creator-focused hardware like the Studio line? Or is it just a shift in how Microsoft defines “power” in the AI era?

Why Isn't There a One-Pager for Every Politician's Performance?Just dumping a thought here — I’d love to see a world where we can objectively evaluate politicians based on their goals, promises, and actions. We’re way past the point of relying on biased news outlets or viral social media clips to form opinions. With today’s tech and LLMs, we should be able to track political figures and hold them accountable.As someone with a data engineering background, I imagine a simple one-pager dashboard for any politician or political group — showing what topics they focus on and how they’re actually performing. The public deserves that. Right now, most people make emotional decisions based on what they hear in the news or see online. That’s not a healthy trajectory.
