Show HN: I built an interactive visual playground for interaction nets

https://netties.adler.dev/

Hi HN!I built a tool to make it easy to explore interaction nets visually in the browser.Interaction nets are a model of computation based on local graph rewriting. They allow for deterministic, massively parallel evaluation without the variable-binding overhead of traditional lambda calculus.I've been thinking about interaction nets for a while and realised that I just didn't have a good...

Hi HN! I'm Ben, the founder of Bema. I've been frustrated with the current state of work messaging software for a while now, and I've heard similar complaints from friends and coworkers.

Show HN: A tool to optimize AI model cost without benchmark score trade-offs

https://jeff-kline.github.io/posts/same-ai-results-for-less/index.html

I created this page to apply data envelopment analysis to find the Pareto frontier of cost and benchmark scores. The goal is to identify the cheapest model or a blend of models applied to tasks that meets the same benchmark scores as your selected model. This is based on a 2022 paper I coauthored. Benchmark sources include Artificial Analysis, ToneBench, Hermes3000 and Slidely, from...
