The ARC-AGI challenge / Arc Prize. It helps me enjoy programming even after becoming PM. I got a bit rusty on structural induction for trees, it’s now all fresh again. After playing with it a bit I am now convinced a A* on the right kind of AST structure will be sufficient to make a significant breakthrough in the scores

I'm testing out generative cartoons and media. I want to see what is possible with AI and media and if the content can be engaging. Long term I want to create content that could be used in a holodeck. Here is what has been published so far: https://www.youtube.com/@distarkmedia Would love feedback :)

I'm currently working on NewsNinja[0] in my spare time, a RSS reader app that groups articles talking about the same story and optimizes reading time.I started it a couple of months ago, I was tired of reading the same story posted across different news outlets.Over time I added new features like summarization, the ability to hide articles that have specific words in titles, etc.Currently working on adding custom themes and fonts for the reader mode and various customization options.It's a fun little side project, still much to do to improve it, I'll be busy for a while![0]https://newsninja.timelabs.io

I’m working on Cyphernetes [1] which is a new query language for working with the Kubernetes API with a focus on highly connected operations. It’s inspired by Neo4j’s Cypher and views Kubernetes as a connected graph of resources.It allows querying multiple resource kinds via their relationships (i.e. replicaset owns pod, service exposes deployment…) and easily crafting custom response payloads.Lately I’ve introduced aggregation functions and the ability to visualize query results using ascii art.This is a daily driver for me and I’m now mostly focused around features that will make it a complete kubectl alternative.[1] https://github.com/AvitalTamir/cyphernetes/

This weekend, just designing a new type of lithography exposure process platform for hobbyists. Getting sub-micron 3-axis repeatability is an interesting problem, as one explicitly considers where to source economical mechanical precision.Mostly just bored waiting for my Tungsten sample shipment to try in a new metal 3D printing process (at $90/in^3 you figure people would just air mail it, but nope cause it is a fire hazard.) Container rail transport work stoppage means I may get time to entertain low priority vanity projects.Also working on a physics inertia puzzle so embarrassingly stupid... I refuse to post it lest it wastes 1 minute of someones time.Kind of like this ear worm... these kind of problems are annoying... lol =3https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsSuueEGQSM( don't click this link, seriously )

I'm working on a small website for finding restaurants and breweries when you're traveling. It currently has 4 year of Great American Beer Fest winners and 3 years of James Beard nominees and winners.It's very alpha at this point with no styling. I'm also working on getting addresses, websites, and instagram links gathered and added. Plus collapsing down the entries, so a place with multiple awards only shows up once, with all of its awards. Right now it's just 1 results per award.I'm currently road-tripping through New England and it helped find the amazing bakery Norimoto.https://nomnominees.com/

I'm working on a little site called WGSL Toy, here: https://wgsltoy.com/It's basically like ShaderToy but for WebGPU instead of WebGL. I started it as I have been doing some Rust + wgpu development for art projects and I need a easy way to play around with shaders.It's very early in development - you can go and just use it right now. But soon I want to support creating an account, saving / sharing shaders, and eventually go beyond the featureset of ShaderToy by allowing for custom input images / textures.Code is on github: https://github.com/sdedovic/wgsltoy

I've been working on Lorcast (https://lorcast.com/) a Scryfall like search for Lorcana. Scryfall offers a powerful search engine and query language to search for Magic: The Gathering cards. Lorcana is a new card game by Disney that also has a competitive scene. As the number of cards grows it will become more important to have good search _and_ good APIs for the community to build with.It's been a breath of fresh air to work on something that I have no plans to monetize. I just want to build something useful for the community to use and that has allowed me to be relaxed with building it.Anyways, if you play Lorcana I encourage you to check it out! The game is lots of fun.

I'm working on Devlog — https://dev.log.xyz — software that I hope will help teams work better by making it more obvious who is doing what. It should help answer questions like "what did Sarah do last week?" or "who worked on frontend performance in the last year?" It's very much in alpha-stage, more a tech demo than a product, and I'm not sure if it will actually succeed. My cofounder just bailed on me but I'm going to keep trying to make it happen. Dogfooding it has made me a better engineer — I write better and clearer PRs — and as a former Senior Engineering Manager, I know it would save me time if I were still managing a larger team. But the setup is onerous (you have to connect your Github so it can analyze your PRs) and the value prop is more vitamin than painkiller unless your team is somewhat disfunctional, and no one likes to admit their team is disfunctional.Happy to talk more about this with anyone. If you're at all interested in "software to make your team run better" I'd really love to hear what you're having trouble with and how your team runs, maybe I can figure out a way to help you, even if it's not at all related to what I've built already.

https://github.com/Trint-ai/TrintAI I've been working on integrating different opensource tools and ML models to create TrintAI. TrintAi is a powerful open-source tool for transcribe and understand speech with multiple capabilities.This is an open-source alternative to paid services like:AssemblyAI Deepgram Gladia Google Cloud Microsoft Azure RevAIWith trintAI you can build your own custom workflows & integration for speech-to-text transcription.The main features are:- Speech-to-Text Transcription: Converts audio files into accurate, readable text in real-time.- Summarization: Provides concise summaries of long audio files or transcripts. This feature extracts the most important information and key points from the text, allowing you to quickly understand the main takeaways from meetings, calls, or any extended audio content.- Sentiment Analysis: Detects emotions within the transcribed text.- Language Identification: Detects the language spoken in the audio file and can transcribe in multiple languages.- Diarization: Identify and distinguish between different speakers within an audio recording.Give it a try! it is open-source. Your feedback is very appreciated!Cheers

I'm working on a library and accompanying notebooks to process secondary school exam results (UK). My father has been doing this for years for his trust and has a fantastic spreadsheet that spits out loads of data for each school.I've recently taken a new job working closely with some data scientists so wanted to skill up a little. So far I've got an elixir library which can calculate Attainment 8 and Progress 8. They're formulas provided by the DfE to understand individual student progress, and the schools ability to progress students.It's just a bit of fun, and is letting me experiment with some of the various elixir data libraries and livebook. At the end of it, his trust is going to plug in some anonymous data and see if they can get more insights than this mega spreadsheet.It's also nice to be doing a side project which isn't aimed at being a business.

I'm working on a new design for a site I run just for fun.It's a simple site for streaming local radios from my city, Mendoza (Argentina): https://www.radiosdemendoza.com.arIt was built with WordPress, and the new theme is using Tailwind and AlpineJS. I hadn’t used AlpineJS before, so this project was a great way to experiment with it.I don't have any monetization on it, and I'm not sure if I'll pursue that for this site.Next up, I plan to build a Chrome extension. I have limited experience with that, so it should be a fun challenge.

I'm working on Facebook.js, a new API wrapper for the Facebook API.http://github.com/leftmove/facebook.jsI was working with the Facebook API for another project, but I was surprised that a website as popular as Facebook had exclusively old API wrappers for it, that all required too much setup, and were cumbersome to write code with.I wanted a better approach using the standards I have come to appreciate with modern API wrappers, and so I decided to start work on a more intuitive, faster approach for the Facebook API.My initial launch goal is to allow for programmatic authentication, posting, and commenting, all with one setup command through a CLI.

I’m working on a tool called Together Gift It. Together Gift It makes managing group gift events like Christmas easier. I’m making it because my family was sending an insane amount of group texts during the holidays, and it was getting ridiculous. My favorite one was when someone included the gift recipient in the group text about what gift we were getting for the recipient.Together Gift It solves the problem just the way you’d think: with AI.Just kidding. It solves the problem by keeping everything in one place. No more group texts! You can have private or shared gift lists, and there are some AI features like gift idea collaboration and product search. But the AI stuff is still a work in progress.I’m grateful for any constructive feedback.https://www.togethergiftit.com/

I was working on reading the comments on this post, and got tired of scrolling with the mousepad. I had not used any of the LLMs in a few weeks now and wanted to see how they fared for writing a web extension to let me browse hacker news via arrow keys and the "prev" and "next" comment buttons. My goal was to write 0 lines of code myself and rely solely on copy-pasting(successful in my eyes). ChatGPT 4o disappointed me on getting a final product, but Claude Sonnet blew me away enough to push me to pull out my credit card to subscribe to a pro plan.All that to say I "worked" on a chrome extension to let you browse a hacker news post via arrow keys: https://github.com/humishum/hacker_news_keys.(While typing this I found that the arrow key actions are still active while in the textbox, time for claude to provide me a fix!)

I'm currently working on a PDF search engine that will index and then search through several thousand pdfs. As a tabletop role-player and former researcher, I've always wanted a simple tool to do this, and I hope I won't be the only one to benefit from it. This is my first project of this scale and I hope to be able to show it here soon.On the technical side, it's a desktop application coded entirely in java with a javaFX interface. No AI or online data uploads, just the Lucene search engine and PDFium for PDF rendering.Here is a very short demo : https://youtu.be/CGo9JRUByGA

Experiments with speech compression/processing. The modern approach to this (and pretty much everything else) is to transform the input data into a high-dimensional space, throw it into a neural net and cross your fingers. (the 'Whisper' STT runs in 512-dimensional space!). It works, but it's hardly elegant or compute-efficient. There's a certain art in doing things the 'old way', even if a million years of evolution decided neural-nets were the one true path.

A few months back, I posted an essay here about how I think we are entering an age where the personal library will become an asset class unto itself [1]. This is due to a combination of the advent of semantic search and the revival of personal knowledge management in the deluge of our age.As such, I’ve been working on the software to bring this vision to life, which is called Your Commonbase (a portmanteau of Commonplace Book and Vector Database).In short, the purpose of the work is to create a data structure that works the way humans store, retrieve, and share information. By making these three elements as close to zero stress as possible, you catalyze creativity through remixing and augmentation of memories. My hypothesis is a lifetime building a Commonbase creates an idiosyncratic system, filled with the interpretations of an individual or a group. This individualized structure then creates demand that others want. I.e, a curation of all of the books you have read, organized by the marginalia you have added to them. This is a system people would pay for, and also a system that becomes more valuable over time.I’ve been “working in public” by posting updates on my site [2], and am just beginning a small waitlist alpha testing phase (email me if you want in!)[1] - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40192359[2] - https://www.bramadams.dev/

Hey HN! I'm working on Voop - a b2b phone network, leveraging eSIM & web-based UI we're turning company mobile connectivity into a SaaS. Has been really fun as an engineer getting into the telco stack - networks, switches and traffic routing take me back to university - and commercially it's been fun negotiating with the mobile networks to get wholesale access. Launching later this year in the UK and US next year, can't wait to get it off the ground.One early achievement was buying voop.com - a very nice man in Arizona had held it since the 90s, and despite being retracted on whois, i worked out how to contact him via his custom ssl certificate on the empty holding site parked at the root domain. After a few emails and follow ups to get a response, I bought it for a not-cheap-but-not-bank-breaking amount.

I have been working on porting concepts of the Windows 10/11 taskbar, tray, and window management, to macos. With emphasis on simplicity, speed, and function inspired by Linux Mint MATE.It has been a wild ride. Often frustrating but rewarding. Some days I may spend 10 hours solving an API for which app is frontmost at a given second. Sure, there's a system API for that, but it doesn't even remotely cover edge cases that exist. And many times with no answers out there on how to do something, it feels like I'm the first, so finally solving it is a great endorphin rush.Part of the complexity is I wanted the app to be completely pluggable, kind of like Obsidian. The app communicates events to a local socket server in full duplex, which enables cross-plugin communication (but also cross-app!). Plugins access the app's JavaScript system bridge API for pubsub and system calls through a Webkit interface. Edits are hot reloaded and instant, no compile time necessary. The first time I could change my "Start" menu in real time through JavaScript/CSS was quite a feeling.Sadly, I couldn't leverage existing tools like Tauri or Electron. They don't have adequate system bridge APIs available, and would be more work to leverage instead of less. They are too general, whereas this project only builds to macos. Therefore it can be much more complicated (and useful) by design.I originally set out to be more productive in macos. But I've also spent time making prototypes for fun. A desktop widget system, real-time system color theme set from Spotify album art, live video desktop backgrounds from Twitch/YT, a Destiny 2 macos system theme, etc.I plan to open source it and build a community around it one day.

I've been building local tracking for job search listings[1] in my spare time, along with crawlers[2] as data sources. Mostly in bursts though, bc I've been juggling fleshing out the project with actually using the data. (On a related note, the current working state of the backend hasn't been pushed in a while, and still reconsidering the name.) It's mostly been an API up to this point, and most recently I've been chipping away at a frontend to accompany that, which is beginning to be useful on a personal level. In particular, I just got file upload working. But long-term, I see it as a hybrid between Tinder and a CRM (and I already have "swipe" animations working if not the actual touch handling), where you can bring your own data on jobs and companies -- however you get that, because I'm sure you can find better scraping processes -- and have a way of organizing them.It's a lot of experiments. On the frontend, I'm dispensing with any design systems or styling libraries, and have opted for vanilla CSS and hand-rolled animations. I'm using React for now, just to get it scaffolded faster with tools I know already, but I've been eyeing a few others, for reasons that range from a standing curiosity about Web Components to new ones about signals. The backend stack is all Deno-based: it includes Astral for any scraping needs you might have, uses Oak for routing, and leverages kvdex for storage. (I also contributed `model.getOne` and `model.updateOne` to the latter as part of initially getting duplicate detection working.) My goal is to keep the whole thing light on external dependencies, outside of a few pragmatic options, and generally work more directly with platform or runtime (or in Deno's case stdlib) functionality where feasible.I otherwise rebuilt my website over the last few months, using Lume for static site generation with similar aims about shipping something generally lighter (the content there is all Markdown, and so far, everything but the syntax highlighting and the ToC generation are built by hand). Additionally, I've been using it as a home for writing[3][4][5] and not just code, so that I have some other things I can show off. (The last one made the front page a couple weeks ago!)[1] https://github.com/chaosharmonic/escapeHatch[2] https://bhmt.dev/blog/scraping[3] https://bhmt.dev/blog/markdown[4] https://bhmt.dev/blog/osquery[5] https://bhmt.dev/blog/sonic_pi

I am working on an app for creating stories with illustrations in a revealjs slide deck.The idea is that a user would handwrite or type the first sentence of a story they want to write. This sentence would be used by llama 3.1 as a prompt to make a short story. Then the story is fed to stable diffusion to create image illustrations. Finally, all of it is combined into a slide deck that users can see in the app and also download if they want.I am using Shiny and Quarto for this project.

I'm working on a command line billing/invoicing system. I couldn't deal with the ones I've tried (too heavy on UI, too difficult to automate stuff with).So far I just use it for my company billing, but it's quite delightful for me: My process is to save the services we provided in CSV files (exported from time tracking in org-mode, but you could use any tool that supports exporting), then I run this over it and it creates PDF invoices, and stores all the data (which I query occasionally, e.g. for quarterly VAT payments).Technologically it's weird, the invoice templates are written in LaTEX, and the code is in Common Lisp.I don't think about turning it into a business, but I think I'll open source it once it's a bit less messy. For now, I just focus on implementing the features I need (about 1-2 per quarter now).I kinda doubt it, but if anyone is interested in command line billing tools, I'd be excited to talk about it. Contact info is in my profile.

I'm experimenting to figure out the simplest setup possible that allows me to expose an internal web service (eg localhost:3000) to the public Internet (eg app.example.com).A million ways to do this, of course, but I'm focused on using wireguard so that eg only my wireguard peers can get access to my local service, and for internal traffic (ie vpn).At the moment I'm settling on having a simple script that I can run on a host alongside wireguard. The script will function like `wg-quick`, parsing a wireguard config file and handilng the routing stuff behind the scenes, and returning a cleaned up config to be passed to `wg`.Ideally, the wireguard configs could be generated by some other tool or service, like https://wirehub.org, and automatically fetched and applied to the running wg interface.So, a one liner on a server with a public IP and the services exposed by your wireguard peers can be accessed via a custom domain name while still respecting internal wireguard routing rules (based on AllowedIPs).If anyone finds this interesting and wants to chat about it, I would love to! My contact info is in my profile.

I’m working on Polynomial (https://polynomial.so), which is a small dashboard for key business metrics. It has open source integrations to most popular systems and has Google sheets export in case you want to do something with the data.As a founder, I really needed a simple place to centralize all those business metrics. Couldn’t find anything that suited my needs (everything was way overkill) and so I ended up building Polynomial.

I'm working on https://summ.meI recently released version 1.0 in July, which allows you to voice chat (TTS and STT) with almost any chatbot site (e.g., Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude).Next, I'm thinking of building a 3D talking avatar to make it feel like a personal companion is chatting with you.

Still slacking before I decide to work on that character controller for my minimalist, low-poly counter strike clone, with Godot.I properly animated a model with blender, and am able to move the parts I want accordingly. It was not easy but I made it.I also managed to implement the recoil algorithm I want.I modeled guns.I will probably struggle to implement server reconciliation to mitigate lag, I found 2 modules that does it, one in C++, one in gdscript.Obviously the gdscript one is slower, but it's hard to know how much slower, since obviously a game like counter strike is very fast paced.I also want to implement a panini/wide angle camera, also found a module for it.Moving slow with bad mental health and anxiety, but having fun.

I've overlooked the importance of having a good virtual presence, I believe it's better to be noticed and be an average developer than being very great but working alone. The former is more impactful and not that I intend to be average but I'm starting and would love to have a long impactful journey. so focusing on having noticeable social handles.I didn't like web dev very much but now I'm enjoying Django a little so I intend to swallow Django and pull off some products maybe as I don't intend to have a regular job for the rest of my life and build what interests me.So yeah, I've been pushing some Django projects and getting better at it.If you wanna follow along or learn Django, here lies my journeyhttps://github.com/JUSTSUJAY/Django_Projects

I'm working in the final features for an office productivity suite with deep AI integration. I think the current slapping of a chat window on software is pretty tame, if not lame. So, in addition to that chat window that replies with conversational chat, I've got over a dozen integrated into software tools LLMs that when you ask them things, their output is programmatic and either modifies the data of what you're working on, or or performs some type of modification to the software tool in use. The tools include a complete word processor, where the AI knows the word processor's API and can directly manipulate the document in the word processor, likewise for a spreadsheet, and there is a "prompt engineer" interface where one can clone, modify, and create new LLM Agents that have deep access to the APIs of the tools, the data in the tools, and the wider application framework.This has been in development for 3 years, and I've got an immigration law firm using it, with about 1/3rd of the LLM agents being immigration law specialist agents of some type.I'm just wrapping up transforming the system from being immigration law specific to being generic, capable of operating in any industry. I previously made a "do it yourself: build your own home solar energy system" as a proof of concept that this framework could be modified in such a way, which I put online for a few months and then took down, having proved what I wanted.I've got multiple creative writing 'bots: legal, technical documentation, creative writing, and code authoring. I've got multiple spreadsheet 'bots: create any standard spreadsheet form on demand, reverse engineer and explain complex spreadsheets, and co-author spreadsheets interactively with the human user, guiding them through the understanding of the spreadsheet being built. I've got foreign language translation agents that allow people without a common language to speak to one another through the voice transcription interfaces.And the users are never copying and pasting LLM outputs from one place to another, that integration is built in to the business logic of the software: ask a chatbot to write a document, the output does directly to the word processor and the document is created, likewise for spreadsheets, likewise for talking to the "projectBot" and asking "what's the state of this project?" and a detailed report is generated.I've also been making the app itself multi-lingual, and multi-skinned so it can be refaced for different cultures, demographics, and industries. I've been calling it "AI CMS" but that is meaningless to far too many. I'm considering calling it "Midom Office AI" because that sounds like "my dumb AI" and I'm generally sarcastic, considering an anti-gushing sarcastic marketing angle on the software. Rather than everyone's else's over praising, I'll have just some confident smuck referencing how he's got an entire team of AI experts helping him, enabling him to be calm and cool in the face of all the deadline pressures, he sips lemonade while his AI team works for him, and not him for it. We'll see what my "marketingBot" says...

Making swim baits. I started carving and paints fishing lures during Covid. It’s easy to knock out something that looks like a lure, but it’s surprisingly nuanced to make something that behaves in the water as you want it to. Mass production is absolutely the correct way to go about this, but - you know - it keeps my hands busy in the evening and I’m improving my carving, airbrushing, weighting/buoyancy, etc with each one.

I'm writing a new property-testing library for TypeScript. [1]I wanted a way to define new Arbitraries that's easier than working with .map(), .chain(), .oneOf(), and other combinators that require you to think in terms of sets. It has those combinators, but you can also write code to randomly generate one value at a time. It uses an approach to shrinking that's inspired by Hypothesis.Along the way, I ended up adding a Domain subclass, which also does validation like Zod. Not sure where I'm going with that, but it's also useful for generating unique keys.(The documentation isn't done and doesn't explain what's interesting about it. Caveat: it's Deno-only, and will probably stay that way unless someone wants to help.)[1] https://jsr.io/@skybrian/repeat-test

I've been learning how to use Blender. For a long time I've thought that working with things in 3D could be made simpler by having an app where your phone is a sort of 3D cursor, and e.g. for modeling you could use your phone as a sculpting knife by moving it around in the air.So I spent some time trying to make an app that allows you to do that, but can't shake the thought that such an app would work better as a Blender addon/plugin rather a standalone app. And I also am trying to figure out how people work with 3D currently, to see if such a tool would even be an improvement over existing tools.

Building more Amazon scraper websites. Working on a framework to minimize the effort of creating them, and currently testing to see if I can automate most of the process with Anthropic’s Sonnet.The most recent site is https://computerdisplayprices.comWhen I’m done, I’m probably going to make a blog post or two just talking through the automation I figured out so far. LLMs are amazing force multipliers.
