therealbilliamon Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (December 2025)

https://usecrucible.ai

We want to speed up adoption of custom AI, but most people suck at building it (no expertise, money, time, etc.).

We thought, what if you could "Vibe ML" your way to it? Allow any AI engineer or PM to build custom AI directly from their current implementation.

So we built these agents that orchestrate the entire life-cycle of custom AI. We start by hooking into how you use AI, prepare/label your data, detect the best recipes for your task, fine-tune, and deploy it for you. Really tried to simplify the entire process.

We aren't entirely sure about the UX/UI patterns. We aren't going chat first because if most people don't know where to start with ML, how in the world are they going to prompt it!?! Instead, we auto detect the AI tasks you've built and go from there.

therealbilliamon Scarcity, Inventory, and Inequity: A Deep Dive into Airline Fare Buckets

recently, i bought a full economy fare on an international flight. When i went to check in, they offered a really cheap upgrade to first. it was a no brainer and i was excited since the flight was gonna be ~6 hours.

i had a rude awakening when i got to the airport. This "first class" ticket was actually more like a premium economy ticket. I didn't get access to the first class check in line, no access to the lounge, no priority boarding, and the seats themselves had no extra bonus other than being in the front of the plane and slightly wider.

it was at that moment i realized there was no beating airlines and good deals aren't really that good unless you got the money to spend.
