That, and my personal website, using only HTML and CSS, and trying to keep it minimalistic, yet nice looking.
Currently trying to reduce costs by switching from using DeepL (high quality, low latency, high cost) everywhere to a hybrid that also uses Claude (high quality, high latency, low cost) for text that is far from the user. Also experimenting with Gemma 2 9B via Groq to go in between them, but it's bad at following instructions and I don't quite trust the quality numbers I'm seeing for it (they're benchmarked with gpt-4o as a judge).
I'm also trying to work out marketing. I'm not good at it, and I dislike it, but I need to get good at it. Currently considering Reddit ads for awareness, some content marketing going over the technical details (there's some fun language processing and performance optimisations), and... I feel that's not enough, but I'm not sure what to add to that.
I'm running on very little budget (I just left school and I'd rather not go into my limited savings over this), so I can't afford to just throw money at ads.
Still researching trust. It's the deepest philosophical rabbit hole I've ever fallen down, but am now coming up for air.
Diverse opinions and even conflict in small groups can be productive provided there is trust. I’d love to understand trust better. Got anything to share or places to start? I’ve been on a deep dive on the philosophy of harmony for a long time. Just submitted my second major article on “harmony of opposites” that deals with the role of conflict/tension in harmony.
Very interesting!
Alignment of interest and principles of conflict resolution and diplomacy are where I got to with "dynamic trust systems" at the moment. The whole project is to kinda push "beyond authentication". Yes I'd love to share some as I've been seeking proof-readers in some security communities. If you DM me via cybershow,uk (email in footer) we can chat.
It's an SQL library for doing statistical process control (SPC) calculations.
This has been a labour of love for about 2 years now. I work on it sporadically. Recently I got more disciplined about what I am working on and I am slowly closing the gap on a first 0.1 release.
2. Finding work. As much fun as it is to tinker, I am nursing the standard crippling addiction to food and shelter. I am also nursing an increasing loathing for LinkedIn and wish to be free of having to check it.
Working on actively trying to quit reading HackerNews.
- `main`, which currently houses a custom interactive graph visualizer built on top of the great `vello` from linebender (https://github.com/linebender/vello).
- `ch/typescript`, which has my attempts at joining a more traditional task manager with a graph visualization.
It's essentially a simpler, read-only, AWS dashboard where everything is a filterable, searchable, exportable-to-CSV table, with some extra features like multi-region mode, saved notes, and a debugger for access denied errors.
It uses the AWS SDK for JavaScript, so everything is run client-side from your browser. I'm not 100% sure what direction I'm taking it yet, but it's been fun to hack on!
There's a live demo here: https://wut.dev/?service=ec2&type=instances&demo=true if you want to try it out.
To fit on a trailer (the mushroom's cap is 11.5ft wide) the cap comes off the stem and the edges of the cap are two half-moons which have fixed mounting points where threaded rod sticks through some welded washers, and a nut is put on in place. I was too last minute to install the 200 WS2811 pixels and have them run some cool patterns, before the music festival I brought it to came time, but even just a lantern on top (another painters tarp covered the cap's metal-frame, and everything was spray painted) looked great.
Super fun project. Expensive, but I learned a lot, got to be creative, and I'm happy to try out new things and make the best of my before-children time. Also, it was such a joy seeing people croud around the mushroom (and site beside the mushroom man inside) at night during the festival.
I always thought the idea was somewhat weak, but not enough to discard entirely. So, along with a friend, I built a prototype over the last two weeks, and now we're trying to validate it: https://scanningfox.com/
I'm enjoying using Elixir for this project. As a long-time Erlang dev, I was initially skeptical about Elixir, but Phoenix.LiveView has changed my opinion.
