Doodle generative compositions in your browser with Musical Spirographhttps://www.theverge.com/entertainment/983322/musical-spirograph-generative-compositionI remember having a Spirograph as a kid and being obsessed with it. Its geometric patterns are hypnotic and gorgeous. I also love generative music composition. So bringing those two things together in a browser tab, I'm hooked. Musical Spirograph is a relatively simple concept. A set of points dash around the screen according to […]

Show HN: ClearVoice TTS, SOTA voice cloning model running offline, in an iOS apphttps://apps.apple.com/ie/app/clearvoice-text-to-speech/id6798899505This is the first app I am aware of that can run a voice model of this quality on iPhone or iPad. It uses 6GB of RAM at peak, so most modern Macs, and some iPhone and iPad models should work (I’ve tested on a 17 pro). The model used is OmniVoice, which is known mostly for its ability to generate quality tts in hundreds of languages.This probably isn’t the fastest implementation of OmniVoice on a Mac, but it’s got to be the easiest to run on macOS, and, as far as I know, the only existing implementation on iOS.Demo of it running on an M3 MacBook Air: https://x.com/RoryClear/status/2090414148030972300

Show HN: 3D Engine for Rust Programshttps://github.com/David-OConnor/graphicsI mostly stabilized the API for this 2 years ago. Since then, I've made occasional performance improvements, and feature additions. It's built to support my structural biology programs, but can be used generally.I'm posting it here, as from what I understand, this is a surprisingly yet-to-be-developed space. This fits between lower-level tools (Which it relies upon) like WGPU or Vulkan bindings, and higher-level game engine and similar (e.g. Bevy).Use case: Create programs written in Rust that integrate a UI (EGUI) with 3D. Suited for scientific, or general visuals.

Show HN: Forst – migrate TypeScript back ends to Go incrementallyhttps://forst-lang.org/docsOver the past ~1.5 years I've been working on this programming language called Forst with the primary goal of replacing TypeScript on the backend.I'd seen many times that running JavaScript on the backend often leads to memory spikes, especially when handling larger data structures, and other inefficiencies due to over-usage of the heap and being restricted to one core by default. So I wanted more efficient native code to replace it but also figured that it's often simply too risky and time consuming to rewrite entire codebases in Go, Rust, or others.This idea led the design. By now, Forst is interoperable with Node, so you can call Forst code from Node via IPC or an HTTP sidecar, and even call existing TS code from Go if you're running a Node process as a child process of your Forst host process. These features enable an incremental migration of parts of your codebase rather than having to go all-in immediately.It started out as a transpiler that emits Go code with support for structu

In this "human zoo", seven Congolese men ultimately died of disease. Today, this shocking episode still haunts Belgium as one of its colonial history's darkest chapters. This year, a monument to the victims was unveiled. Report by Alix le Bourbon and Dave Keating.
