Show HN: Simple algorithm and color space to generate diverse skin tones
Hello HN!<p>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.<p>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.<p>The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for others as I have found it! There's lots of room for improvements (see the Future Work section), but I'm really happy with how it turned out.
Show HN: Make your Framework 12 sound like a creaky door
I was poking through the iio devices on my Framework the other day and turns out Framework 12s have a pretty accurate hinge angle sensor! So I made a version of LidAngleSensor (<a href="https://github.com/samhenrigold/LidAngleSensor" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/samhenrigold/LidAngleSensor</a>) but for the Framework 12 on Linux, so you can make your hinge sound rusty

Show HN: NixOS-DGX-Spark – Nix and NixOS on the DGX Spark
Try DGX Spark playbooks using Nix on DGX OS, or install NixOS on your DGX Spark for the full Nix experience. The repository provides USB images and a NixOS module with settings for DGX Spark systems.<p>This works on the NVIDIA DGX Spark itself and also on the Asus Ascent GX10.<p>See my 5 minute lightning talk from Planet Nix for an intro: <a href="https://youtu.be/AvK_gi_snJE?si=MPKv3iiuS9B5elIE" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/AvK_gi_snJE?si=MPKv3iiuS9B5elIE</a>

Show HN: Sprocket – The Best AI Agent for Hardware and Software Development
Hey HN,
I am 16y/o and have been working on Sprocket for a while. It's an open-source AI agent that beats every other agent out there at both hardware and software.<p>And here's the best part: Sprocket can (on its own) buy anything from any website when you tell it to do so. From hardware parts to SaaS subscriptions.<p>Sprocket retrieves best-in-class context from the web for everything it does. It is therefore incredibly reliable.
The agent harness's quality, performance, and UI rival that of Codex/Cursor/T3Code, and we are rapidly improving.
We will be releasing benchmarks on how Sprocket beats every other agent at both software and hardware soon.<p>In terms of hardware design, Sprocket can make beautiful schematics in react, create your BOM, and create detailed assembly instructions.<p>Hope you try it out!<p>Thanks,
Aarav<p>P.S. if the demo video doesn't load for you, come back after ~1.5hr and it should be there, I kinda had to submit this early. Sorry!
Show HN: Fuse – statically typed functional programming language
Hi HN! I've been working on the fuse programming language, it's a statically typed purely functional language with higher-kinder types and ad-hoc polymorphism. It compiles to the GRIN whole-program optimizer, producing LLVM-generated native code.<p>Fuse supports ADTs, Generics, Type Methods, Traits, Pattern matching etc. all in a functional style with no mutations.<p>I’ve been developing the language for 5 years, with code written in Scala. I’ve started coding the language from the base of System F that was implemented as part of the book: Types and Programming Languages (tapl). And then extending with concepts such as Bidirectional Type Checking with Higher-Rank Polymorphism.<p>I’ve mainly drawn inspiration from Rust, Haskell, Scala and Python (in terms of syntax). It all started because I wanted a language that has Rust-like concepts such as: ADT, Traits, Impl block syntax, etc. but have the pure functional semantics.<p>I'd would love feedback on the language design and its general usage.
