Carbon - a scratchpad app for AI work.

ShadCN's Copper but for windows - Carbon

What it does

It's ShadCN's Copper but for windows - Carbon You know how you're writing code in Cursor, compiling study notes in Chrome, or bouncing ideas off ChatGPT, and you think, "I'll need this snippet later," but you don't want to stop what you're doing? Whenever you find something worth keeping, double-tap Shift to capture it. When you're ready, copy it right back into ChatGPT, Claude, or your workspace - and check things off as you go.

    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…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
