Sharing a macOS menu-bar app I made that lets you transpose and separate instrument tracks from Spotify songs in realtime. Uses Rubberband engine pitch shifting with formant preservation to avoid the ogre-like sound of pitching down, and HTDemucs converted to Core ML (NN model) to do live audio separation via sliding audio windows. I think this is the best tool of its kind (lowest latency, highest quality, realtime). It's invaluable for me now with karaoke, practicing singing / piano along with Spotify songs.

I built Routeup around a simple idea: local apps should use their real names. It was inspired by Portless , but I also wanted built-in public tunneling, selective path exposure, request inspection, and live logs. Instead of opening localhost:3000 , I can give a project a stable, trusted HTTPS URL and keep using it across restarts: https://example-app.localhost The app stays local by default. When an external service needs access, I can expose the whole route or only selected paths such as /api/webhooks/* : local: https://example-app.localhost public: https://example-app.try.routeup.dev exposeβ¦

The couple's return to the UK is imminent - and what they'll be focusing on here is gradually becoming clearer.

GPU leases have become massive price bets. To meet surging demand, companies are signing multi-year GPU contracts but this also means they're taking on serious duration risk in the process. Over the next 3 to 5 years, any single SKU of GPU can decline in price due to depreciation, obsolescence, or simple oversupply. As a result, companies have realized that they need a hedge, but bilateral, bespoke derivatives are arcane, slow, and difficult to navigate. That's why we built a self-serve pricer for cash-settled rate floors: Pick your SKU, calendar months, coverage, and floor level, and see youβ¦

Hi! In my own development work I have noticed I less and less reach for Emacs and rather need the combo of a coding agent + git diff viewer + a stack of code-review comments to handle later. There's a lot of apps that do more or less that but mostly for Mac, heavy churn and too much features I don't need, arranged in a way that makes for a noisy and distracting interface. So, I wrote my own. Not as a throw-away project but one to actually use daily. It's tailored for my own needs and probably not useful as-is for others, but maybe something for inspiration or customization. Comments URL: httpβ¦

We had no guide or course that teaches chip design at our university. We had taken a digital logic course, but were disappointed with the fact that the most complex project we did was building a full adder in Quartus using logic blocks, not even in RTL!5 Therefore, we decided to challenge ourselves to dive deep into machine learning (ML) hardware and learn as much as we could on our own. We wanted to prove that basic math (like y = mx + b) and basic logic circuits are enough to help anyone understand how modern AI hardware works. Our goal was to design our own version of the LPU from scratchβ¦
