File-based HTTP endpoints for Python with its own isolated dependencies
File-based HTTP endpoints for Python, where each file carries its own isolated dependencies. - tanrax/bitpoint
What it does
# routes/repo/get.py # /// script # dependencies = ["httpx"] # /// import httpx def handle ( request ): return httpx . get ( "https://api.github.com/repos/tanrax/bitpoint" ). json () Drop that file into routes/ , start the server, and GET /repo is live. The line at the top is PEP 723 inline metadata: Bitpoint installs httpx into an environment that belongs to this endpoint alone. No shared virtualenv, no requirements.txt , no app object. Two endpoints can even depend on incompatible versions of the same library without conflict. Bitpoint is for when the API is not the product, just plumbing: a webhook, a mock for the frontend, a small internal service, a few endpoints on a personal server.…from github.com

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.
