Kachunk is a macOS menu bar app that answers your typing with real recorded audio — vintage Underwood and Olivetti typewriters, or 24 mechanical switch packs. Anywhere on your Mac. Not synthesised clicks. Each pack is a set of real recordings — strike, release, and the mechanical tail between them — swappable mid-sentence from the menu bar. Click any card to audition it, then keep typing. No window, no dock icon, no setup. Pick a pack, set the volume, and forget it's there — until you start typing and your Mac suddenly has a soul. Six things we lost sleep over so your typing never feels like a toy. Download free and keep the Underwood 1938 typewriter and the Cream mechanical pack forever.…from getkachunk.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 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.
