I've been working on the Jane Street reverse engineering puzzle that was posted here a few days ago[0]. As usual I've not made much progress on the actual challenge because I've fallen down a bunch of rabbit holes. So far I've built a digital circuit simulator, a parser for my circuit design language, and now a parser for my simulator language (so I can run the sim on known inputs and have the machine enforce asserts…

Wish you good luck. It feels like we still live in the stone age regarding the tools in circuit design. We need something easily written by LLM's.

I quit my job in September to co-found a disclosure editing, sharing, and reviewing platform for real estate professionals.

We’re slowly positioning ourselves as the place where the majority of the transaction takes place, by giving the entire party a single place where communication and transparency can happen.

It’s working out great so far :)

I move around the office all day and there are a lot of wifi networks, most of them flaky. I keep ending up stuck on a bad one for wherever I'm sitting and having to guess which to switch to. So I built roamr: it tells you which of your saved networks is actually best where you are, and why. You still switch yourself.

mac (brew), windows (scoop), linux not fully tested. https://github.com/sourabh-khot65/roamr

In my spare time, I’ve been working on a portfolio of cycling related tools, all free to use. These are things I wish I had when training, building bikes, or planning.

So far, I’ve been getting pretty good feedback on the route weather planner and the gel recipe. I add new tools as I think of them or encounter needs of my own.

I've been building something in this direction - instead of a chat thread, agents are nodes in a graph with explicit dependencies, so you can fan out a few in parallel and see where each one is. The control story is much better than a chat. Not my daily driver for coding yet.

I just posted a Show HN of my most recent side project, a live demo of a tiny-llm implemented in FPGA fabric, hitting an aggregate peak of 60,000tok/s, but a 'usable' model at 21,000tok/s

I'm currently a web developer and IA has killed my passion for the field. I love to write code, and the managers at my workplace force us to use IA all the time.

For this, I'm starting to learn about embedded systems with a STM32 Nucleo 64 board and the books "Making Embedded Systems" and "Practical Electronics for Inventors".

The objective is to learn and practice a lot, so I can land a job in the near future.

Outside of IT, I started watching The Bear, that re-ignited my passion for cooking, so I got into that (again) too.
