Claude used my pipeline to find a counterexample to the Jacobian conjecture
About a month ago, I released under CC0 an implementation of a pipeline I had spent two years developing. It’s the pipeline Claude used to find the counterexample to the Jacobian conjecture. The repository history, public release, discussion with one of the original paper’s authors, and two years of development logs document the pipeline’s origin and development.
Proof - https://github.com/JGPTech/Fun/tree/main/Jacobian
The history:
I first released it under CC0 a little over a month ago. You can find the link here: https://github.com/JGPTech/Fun/commits/main/current_paper_locality_boundary_package
This is the paper I was modeling with this pipeline: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-026-73900-9
This is where I shared it publicly one of the paper’s authors, which you can see he approved of: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7470810642321571840?commentUrn=urn%3Ali%3Acomment%3A%28activity%3A7470810642321571840%2C7471734053742895105%29&dashCommentUrn=urn%3Ali%3Afsd_comment%3A%287471734053742895105%2Curn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7470810642321571840%29
How cool is it that Claude used it on a problem this big, and that the mathematical community around this counterexample is now thinking through structures I spent years developing? What a ride.

Ask HN: How would I restore this 101 year old postcard?
How do I approach making this legible? Is there a “magical AI” solution these days? I know the basics of image processing and filtering but I can barely read my own handwriting so I suspect I’d need help from AI or someone even if I managed to isolate the signal.
P.S. I hope I’m not doxxing my great great grandfather or anything.

Stripe closed my account with a 0.18% dispute rate
I run a UK ltd, ecommerce, personalised products. Started in March, scaled to ~£150K/m in 2 months.
But then... "After conducting a routine review of your Stripe account... we've found that it presents a high level of risk for disputes." Payments switched off immediately. Payouts held for 120 days, balance released in November.
My dispute rate is 0.18% across about 3,900 payments. Their own threshold is 0.75%. We're on 4.7 stars on Trustpilot from 130+ reviews.
After a few hours before the shutdown email, a Stripe salesperson emailed me a repricing form because our volume was growing and they wanted to discuss custom rates.
I appealed tonight and sent fulfilment records matching every order to a tracked delivery, plus bank statements. The dashboard said the review would take until 27 July. It got denied about 90 minutes later. Account is now closed permanently.
Has anyone dealt with this?

Show HN: I rebuilt Microsoft Comic Chat's layout engine in one HTML file
I used Comic Chat in 1996 and never got over it. So when Microsoft put the source up last week, I wanted it back the way I remembered it: same engine, browser tab, no install, works on a phone.
I do not write or read code. I'm the proverbial "product manager." So, I have to thank both GPT 5.6 and Fable 5 / Opus 4.8 (just before they released Opus 5 today). I aimed to stay faithful to the original as much as I could and extend it intelligibly.
It's not IRC, but you can connect with up to 10 people in a secure (E2E encrypted), ephemeral group chat. Sorry, but I'm not sure who uses IRC anymore. I don't. ;)
One link, up to ten friends, everyone typing into the same strip live. Names, lines and uploaded backdrops are encrypted in your browser with AES-GCM through WebCrypto before any of it leaves. The relay is a Cloudflare Durable Object that orders events and passes them along, and it cannot read a line of your comic. A room carries separate keys for the script and for uploaded images, plus a third derived with HKDF that proves you belong without the real key going on the wire. Keys are non-extractable and ride in the URL fragment, which a browser never sends to a server. Security was not an afterthought with this.
It is one HTML file. Nothing is emulated, there is no WASM, and the constants are reproduced from the source by hand rather than compiled. There is a "For nerds" tab in the app with the routines, the geometry and the crypto behind the shared rooms, etc., so I will let the page answer that rather than paste it here.
Comic Sans is kinda optional. Barely.
I'm down for constructive feedback and viable suggestions / bug reports.
Enjoy!
