Solo – portable Linux binaries, solved

What it does
Ship one musl-linked executable. At runtime, load the user's existing glibc-linked GPU driver. No container, no AppImage, and no second libc in the process. Static binaries are a wonderfully boring way to deploy software on Linux: one file, no dependencies, nothing to break. We build ours with IX , a source-first build system for producing fully static Linux binaries. The boredom ends the moment the application needs the GPU: Vulkan and OpenGL drivers are supplied by the host as shared objects, usually built against glibc, and a fully static musl binary cannot normally dlopen() them. SoLo crosses that boundary. It provides a dlfcn -style source API backed by its own ELF loader (x86-64 and…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.
