dc up starts this folder. No config? dc try . No VS Code. Never edits .devcontainer . Wraps the official Dev Containers CLI. No VS Code required. Never edits project .devcontainer . Start, shell, logs, top, nets, more, rm y/n — the same board dc-tui opens in your folder. Homepage board is a running stack. /play is first-run: no config, then u → sandbox → shell. Install for your real folder. $ dc up | dc try → kind=devcontainer | compose | none → up (try forwards too) Start this folder. .devcontainer → official CLI, then ports. Compose-only → docker compose.

    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.
