What it does

MacScope is a native SwiftUI command center for Apple-silicon Macs. It combines live CPU, memory, network, disk, thermal, and battery telemetry with safe process controls and seven optional utility workspaces: sound, capture, windows, clipboard/files, notes, maintenance, and power. Everything runs locally, protected actions stay permission-gated, and unavailable hardware metrics are labeled honestly. It is under active development and currently built from source for macOS 14+.

MacScope combines live system telemetry, safe process management, reversible macOS controls, and the utilities that usually require a collection of separate apps. - rsm23/macscope

    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.
