Show HN: Claw-daw – offline, deterministic terminal-first DAW
I built claw-daw: a tiny MIDI DAW you can drive from the terminal (TUI + headless scripts).
Motivation: I wanted “music making that feels like coding” — reproducible, diffable, and automation-friendly. Same script + same seed → same beat.
Features:
• offline (FluidSynth + SoundFont) + ffmpeg export • deterministic renders for iteration/agent pipelines • WAV/MP3/MIDI export • projects are JSON (Git-friendly) Would love feedback on the workflow + what features would make this actually useful for you.

Show HN: CPU-based Neural Net. Zero floats. Returns "I don't know"
I just built a pattern-matching neural network with zero IEEE 754 floats. All arithmetic uses integer ratios (5/8 instead of 0.625), compared via cross-multiplication. No infinity anywhere. The key feature: when confidence is below threshold, it returns "I don't know" instead of hallucinating an answer. Tested on medical diagnosis (1179 diseases) — 50% correct, 20% wrong-but-related, 30% honest "I don't know".
Core ideas:
Every operation costs "budget" — network dies before seeing everything Confidence is Ratio(n,d), not float — division only for human display Rare symptoms weighted higher (entropy from information theory) 500 lines of Rust, formal spec in Coq (44 files)
Emerged from a critique of Pascal's Wager: what if observation itself has finite cost?
Oh, and it runs on CPU, not GPU. And it runs fast as hell. How? That's a bit of a mystery for me too...
However, what's most important is that it is inherently capable of saying "well, I dunno...".
no binary dictate of YES or NO. there is always an option to chose UNCERTAINTY. and there is nothing more natural than uncertainty in real life.
well, in there repository, you will not only find the network but also a hefty collection of coq files that define the ontology of finitiary math I have written with ai during my long stay in hospital bed with cancer. cancer is receding, code is compiling, and the network is learning. try it out.
Show HN: Nutkin – Save Anything for Later
I had 200+ links saved in WhatsApp messages to myself. Never looked at them again. Built Nutkin to solve this: save any link to Telegram, AI auto-sorts it into playlists (recipes → Cooking, articles → Learning, videos → Watch Later), browse as visual feeds, share playlists with real-time sync. Core mechanic:
Save link → Claude Sonnet 4.5 analyzes → auto-files to playlist ~95% sorting accuracy Processing: <2s average
Tech:
Telegram Mini App (primary UI) Supabase (backend + real-time sync for collaborative playlists) Claude API for content analysis + summarization Built on Lovable platform
Key features:
Zero manual organization (AI handles everything) Collaborative playlists with real-time sync (Google Docs-style) Visual feed per playlist (scroll like TikTok, not lists) Custom reminders per playlist AI summaries (key points, read time)
Why Telegram-first:
900M users already there Native auth, payments, notifications Mini App = no App Store gatekeepers Zero download friction
