I’ve been doing something similar to control racing video games while biking on an indoor exercise bike. I convert pedal speed into brake and acceleration keys (there’s some middle amount of pedaling that’s neutral) with pynput. I used Open

Ooh TIL about plug-ins like Scaler 2. I need to get more immersed in the DAW world. It'd be cool to train text embeddings and musical chord embeddings (by analyzing song lyrics perhaps) and then build something to type in moods like &q

Yep. Using AI at all here feels like overkill. You could get interesting results just choosing random chords* in the key signature. *speaking from experience. I built a web app at tapcompose.com (desktop only for now) that uses pure randomn

That's a big part of the reason I built the open source tool Semantra[1]. I only really trust the semantic search part of this problem as it is constrained by context, so I tried to make the user experience good on top of simpler seman

Hi everyone, I built Semantra over the past four weeks to showcase the power of semantic search and share the experience. I strived to make a general purpose tool so that others could easily spin up their own semantic search engines over th

The instruction tuning dataset is only 52,000 rows. It shouldn't be too hard to crowdsource high-quality human answers to this many questions and retrain the model, nixing the dependency on OpenAI.

Hi HN! A few months ago, I was playing with Apple's live text tool which allows the user to select text from images. I noticed the quality of the text extraction was unreasonably good, and it worked offline. As someone who has studied

I ride on Zwift using an old Schwinn Airdyne bike I got for $25 on Craigslist. It works great! I connected a bike computer magnetic pickup to the fan wheel, spliced it into a headphone cable, and plugged the headphone into a USB sound card

Hi HackerNews! This is a test project I hacked together to see how efficiently I could build an explorable, procedurally generated 3D world. I'd previously tested some infinite terrain ideas in Three.JS but the resulting code was hundr

I've definitely seen/used that map, which as far as I know is one of the authoritative ones worldwide. I wasn't able to see how to paginate back in time with that map to view growth, which was one of my primary motives for bu

Good point. I was thinking about that and will plan to add it in. You think something like cases per 100,000 would be a good metric?

Thanks for the feedback. I love SVG and actually iterated with that at first, but getting the site to be zippy and responsive required using WebGL

Hi HN, I couldn't find a richly interactive COVID-19 map anywhere that includes historical data, so I made my own. I used SvelteJS and deck.gl to create a fast and functional frontend. The dataset comes from USAFacts[1]. Source code ca

Hi all, I created Distinguish because I was frustrated with how messy naming CSS classes and IDs can be. There was (for me at least) no simple system that could reduce class names and work across any file extensions. So I reasoned that empl

That's a good idea. It'd be as simple as adding the following before line 19: process.on('exit', () => (process.exitCode = 1)); I didn't want to assume that people are executing the code in-browser or ter
