Our patent-pending neurostimulation builds on over a decade of research in slow-wave enhancement, and more than 50+ published peer-reviewed papers.
Today we're building our last 3D printed unit. In October we start our first tooling run.
Currently trying to predict student absenteeism in the future based on historical indicators with synthetic data using basic ML modeling and then using LLMs to generate helpful guidance for relevant parties. Basically letting parents know there's concern and citing leading indicators.
Not sure what I'll do next, but hoping to come up with a few other ideas to put my mind at ease. It's fun having some actual motivation to keep up with the current hype instead of just being a consumer, though!
I started a newsletter that tries to recreate the original magic of stumble upon. To feature cool random stuff from across the internet. I believe the old internet is still alive and well. It's just buried under a mountain of shit. https://randomdailyurls.com/
Key problems we're solving:
- Everyone wants to be doing meaningful, fun work that feels like their "life's work". Few feel like they are.
- In recruiting, the AI spam problem is real and only getting worse, essentially killing the cold application pipeline. You need a referral.
- Optimizing your career feels like annoying politicking for a lot of the most talented folks who just want to focus on building cool stuff. But, as an employee, if you don't test the market (e.g. take a recruiter conversation) from time to time, your comp can really stagnate.
In short, it's a few things:
- JA->EN dictionary
- hiragana / katakana / time reading / number reading quizzers
- learn kanji with FSRS, anki-style
- vocab quizzer
- the coolest feature (imo) is a "reader": upload Japanese texts (light novels, children's books, etc), then translate them to your native language to practice your reading comprehension. Select text anywhere on the page (with your cursor) to instantly do a dictionary lookup. A LLM evaluates your translation accuracy (0..100%) and suggests other possible interpretations.
It's all elixir+liveview+postgres+pgroonga (though there are times when I would like to have SolidJS).
I've been considering open-sourcing it due to lack of commercial success, but might try an ad-based approach first.
I'm finally organising 20 years of voice notes. Some were quite outdated - I probably no longer need the mozzarella cheese I reminded myself to buy in early 2008. To organize them, I'm writing a Python Qt application with Claude Code. It started off as vibe coding, but I'm now developing it using processes very similar to those I would use when managing software teams. I've picked up a lot of good tips about that her…
Working on a chess / poker hybrid. There was "choker" back in the day, which I actually never heard about since I wasn't into chess back then. But (1) there was no web version, and (2) it had a specific gameplay that seems too slow for my taste. My version is highly customizable on the setup/rounds/rules, too. From my research, the original was also overrun by bots.
Looking up choker online I found this reddit thread: > It’s a cool concept, but terrible app design and it’s all just bots you connect with, making it terribly easy to win almost every game It sounds like this game needs a better AI opponent then? I don’t know anything about this game but something that learned from your gameplay and figured out how to beat you would be very cool.
I’m building a daily word puzzle game with a twist! In Tiled Words you rearrange tiles to solve clues and rebuild a broken crossword. You can play a demo at https://tiledwords.com - it’s free and web based so it works on whatever device you’ve got. I’ll be officially launching on October 19th at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo. You can sign up to be notified on launch. Starting then there will be a new puzzle every da…
