What it does
A few weeks ago, I started researching and outlining a book called The Whole Machine . The goal is to teach teenagers - specifically my son, when he gets a bit older - how to build a computer entirely from scratch. I don’t mean “understand the concepts.” True understanding only comes from building, which means the goal of the book is to write every single line of code and hardware description from scratch. No massive third-party libraries, no closed-source IP blocks, no hand-waving. To make it possible for a teenager to actually build a complete machine from the ground up, you have to radically simplify everything. You have to aggressively slice away the historical cruft and unnecessary…from axiomfactory.co

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
