I'm working on https://nuenki.app/ , a language learning tool. It teaches you a language while you procrastinate by inserting translations of appropriate-difficulty sentences into webpages as you browse HN etc. 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 fr…

This is awesome!

Hey! I'm working on Getgud.io, an AI-powered game analytics and anti-cheat platform.

Our goal is to provide complete observability into player behavior, detect cheaters and griefers, and help game developers improve player retention.

Some key features we're working on:

- AI-powered analysis of in-match player actions to detect anomalies

- Customizable rules engine for automated responses to toxic behavior

- Visual replay system for reviewing flagged matches

Check out our website at https://www.getgud.io and watch our detection video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EhTpfEzh1M to see Getgud.io in action.

We support server-side integration for popular platforms like Unreal Engine and Unity.

For integration guides and SDK references, visit our docs at https://github.com/getgud-io/getgud-docs.

Happy to chat more about game analytics and cheat detection if anyone's interested!

Prompting GPT to do rich text editing. Instead of replacing the entire document or selection, we want it to create diffs or operations for the minimal amount of edits as possible. This helps preserve intent better when merging the doc later on with OT/CRDTs. (Of course, you could also ask GPT to semantically merge docs for you haha). So far, it's been harder than plain text or spreadsheets which have an easier positi…

I’ve been developing a plugin for the Neovim text editor called sia.nvim, inspired by the Egyptian deity Sia.

You can check out the GitHub repository here: https://github.com/isaksamsten/sia.nvim.

I also have a few screen recordings showing its capabilities. I’ve been using it for about six months to enhance my writing.

The plugin leverages a language model to suggest text improvements, features a split-view interface, and allows users to select the edits they want to keep from a diff.

It’s still a bit rough around the edges, and the code is quite messy since I’m still learning Lua and the Neovim API. However, I’m gradually improving it whenever I find the time.

Dance calendar (Django app, with some AlpineJS/HTMX). Approximately 80 admin pages + 20 end user views + 100 admin views. 2M page loads/month during the summertime. This is in production.

For the dance calendar, support site with good first-line AI support based on FAQ answers.

Ad management platform for the dance calendar. Sites like this have specific requirements for placing ads that are not well supported by AdSense etc. I would like to have an alternative for smaller players for the header bidding used by the larger players.

Separate webapp to store happenings (messages, emails, descriptions, documents, etc.), tag them and show them on a timeline, allowing filtering the events visible on the timeline. Django/HTMX/AlpineJS. This is for a legal battle I am having.

A tool for describing workflows using the Unified Service Management (USM) model. The method is to frameworks (ITIL etc.) what open source is to commercial software. I am currently working on cross-referencing tool to map ISO 27k requirements to USM statements. I have developed my own formal language for defining the requirements. The end goal is to automate validating many ISO 27k requirements.

Finally learning piano and drums after playing guitars for years. Thinking of own musical voice for first song, EP, and album. Made this chords poster to help: https://hypertexthero.com/piano/

Working on a default home.html page for my web browser with most used links, note pad, drawing pad, and forms for quickly creating posts for static sites that I’ll publish shortly. It would be nice if Firefox let you define a custom page for new tabs as well as new windows, instead of only Blank Page and Firefox Home (Default).

Usually have the relationship between work and play in mind, and how many of my favorite games have elements of compounding interest in rogue lite game modes where a little bit goes a long way with saved progression.

Harvesting four varieties of potatoes planted in the garden earlier in the year. Thankful to be able to work outdoors listening to the wind and nature.

I'm building up a small but resourceful artificial intelligence research group focusing on specializing in the triangle "machine learning - search - natural language processing". Have got a bit of funding, a building, an 1.3 M€ GPU cluster. Also looking for Ph.D. candidates and contract developers. (The hard part is spending the money wisely but in 8 weeks - it is a time-limited government budget that "expires" - whi…

Wow, just had to comment because this one is hilarious. Everyone else has the typical "I built my own accounting CLI" or "I'm thinking about maybe publishing my devtool", and you're over here casually describing your building. I just have to say: well done, that sounds like quite the life! The world will no doubt appreciate your toil one day, even if you feel stressed in the short term. IDK why, but your comment makes me want to share one of my favorite quotes:

   Only with time will the period of my real influence begin and I trust that it will be a long one, for I am firmly convinced of Seneca's promise: "Although envy imposed silence on all who lived with you, those men will come who will judge without ill-will and without favour." 
- Schopenhauer's Doctoral Dissertation, The Fourfold Root

I'd throw my hat in the ring as a philosophy-minded SWE who's coming up on the end of my runway while writing my book on unifying symbolic+connectionist AI (going for ~1y now), but your choice of currency tells me you probably don't have a need for any of us yanks. Instead, I'll send you my very strongest best wishes from across the ocean! And while I'm at it, I'll endorse my absolute favorite paper ever written on search, in case it sparks some ideas: Simon & Newell's Human Problem Solving (1970) https://github.com/vlall/Ai-Papers/blob/master/1971_Human%20... . If you're not already teaching it, ofc ;)

This quote in particular pops into my head at least once a day:

  The problem solver's search for a solution is an odyssey through the problem space, from one knowledge state to another, until his current knowledge state includes the problem solution.
