Zcomplete – Shell Typo Correction
Mistype a command and zcomplete runs the one you meant, worked out from the commands you usually run. zsh, bash and fish. - omarfakih1/zcomplete
In plain words
Zcomplete is a shell typo correction tool that intercepts mistyped commands and suggests the correct one based on the user's command history. When a typo is detected, it displays the intended command and asks for confirmation before executing it. The tool works with zsh, bash, and fish shells, installs as a single 550 KB binary with minimal dependencies, and helps users avoid command-not-found errors.

You mistype a command. Instead of command not found , zcomplete figures out which command you meant from the ones you actually run, and offers to run it with your arguments. $ mkd build zcomplete: run mkdir instead of 'mkd'? [Y/n] y $ gti status zcomplete: run git instead of 'gti'? [Y/n] y On branch main nothing to commit, working tree clean $ cargo tset error: no such command: `tset` zcomplete: run cargo test? [Y/n] y zsh, bash and fish. One binary, one dependency ( libc ), about 550 KB. curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/omarfakih1/zcomplete/main/install.sh | sh That downloads the binary, sets up each shell it finds, and offers to seed the database from your history.

Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…

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.
