Show HN: I built a browser-based 3D editor since I didn't want to learn Blender
process demo - https://i.redd.it/fbhlwsq1gcmg1.gif render demo - https://i.redd.it/smddwtryhcmg1.gif
I love making creative software. I spent a few years making pixel art software but recently have gotten into 3d animation and 2d animation and really wanted a way to realize crazy ideas.
Blockbench didn't feel quite right, spline is super well made but felt catered too much to just idle website animations, and I really didn't want to fall down a master class in Blender just to make some silly stuff. While I'm definitely not discounting Blender's literal powerhouse functionality, I wanted something smaller, easier to adopt, and something directly inside the web ecosystem. So that when I want to make assets for silly games I won't have to jump through any hoops to make everything match up and render nicely. So, I made Topomaker (tentative name).
It's sporting your basic 3d modeling, coloring, and animation. It's currently supporting exports to mp4's and gifs for sharing, and then glb's and obj's for making games in threejs.
I literally just started it a couple weeks ago so there are probably tons of bugs, so maybe not for anything serious, but feel free to play around with it and let me know what you think!

Show HN: Optimal: Cost effective infra with agentic inbox
During a hackathon, I build this platform that will help compute cost optimal infra plans to run ML workloads. Plans are computed based on the nature of workload, reasearch papers for custom requirements and configs if set by the user. I also added an agentic inbox, so users can check status, ask questions and even kick off a training job on the go, without having to log into the dashboard.
I wanted to know if this would be actually helpful in real scenarios and what more can be added so it addresses some more pain points. Let me know, thanks!

AI can slowly shift an organisation's core principles
The article discusses how AI can gradually shift an organization's core principles and values over time, a phenomenon known as 'value drift.' It highlights the importance of regularly monitoring and assessing an organization's alignment with its original principles to identify and address any unintended shifts early on.
Show HN: Tree, but for Token Usage
Treetok shows the token count for Claude and OpenAI in a directory structure. I built it because this one folder I was working in filled up the context window quick, and wanted to know why. I could have used line count instead, but I wanted more precision.
Through it, I learned that the same files in Claude cost 20-30% more tokens than OpenAI. So the same 200k context window in Claude is similar to 150k in Codex.
