Probably too early even for this discussion, but why not: https://github.com/cconvey/cpu-n1

It's a simple (WIP) ISA and corresponding simulator. I want to get experience adding a new backend target for LLVM, and this is will be the target.

The idea is to be similar to other LLVM targets, but different enough that I can't just copy-and-paste existing LLVM code.

I am building a Web UI called paisa[1] to visualize personal finance data. We currently have very good command line tooling for this (ledger/hledger/beancount). A Web UI will make it even easier to see what's going on with your finances.

I am interested in knowing what are the common problems you face with command line approach that can be solved via a Web UI

I don't have a link to anything yet, but I'm working on a mac app that's intended to help programmers observe their own productivity in an objective but configurable way, and provide a more cohesive interface for working with independent project management tools. This is particularly for people who struggle with things that their managers tend to assume that everyone has the same capability of managing, like when was the last time you updated a Jira comment thread that directly connects to a GitHub PR review, that directly connects to a Git Branch. You might go and push some code, but forget to re-request review, or forget that someone asked a question in the thread, because you don't have native notifications.

I haven't worked out a coherent UI for this quite yet, but ideally you'd be able to give yourself a notification that a branch you were working on hasn't seen any updates in some time, or that you did commit but haven't pushed, or haven't changed the status of the Jira ticket back into review.

If anyone has these problems, I'd love to hear if anything like this would be useful.

Been working on this as a new way to find, explore, and view old historical maps and aerials of my area. Still heavily in development but have been surprised by some early traffic stats (1-2K organic uniques / mo and growing 200%+ m/m right now)

Hoping to add in more advanced map tooling within the next week or 2, including new basemap options, 3d terrain view, and then a proper search box which I've been pushing off for far too long

I'm working on an application where you share your business idea with an AI which evaluates and ranks ideas. It scores the idea, explains why it scored the way it did, and offers suggestions for improvement.

That's double meta in this thread, I know.

I don't have an MVP yet but I've been testing and tweaking prompts. An early strategy might be to release this as a free open source app and then offer extra business value later. I created an email form in case there's any interest here.

* ROSboard -- visualize ROS topics in the web browser -- https://github.com/dheera/rosboard Lots of things that could be done with this but a lot of robotics teams and projects got laid in the past year and it doesn't have as many users as it once did. There is also Foxglove which is a full-blown funded startup working on something similar and the more progress they make, the less motivation I have to make my FOSS pr…

In reading about your 4x5 camera back, I think the plastic lens mount might be obstructing the light going to the sensor, the angles inside such a wide format system are fairly large. If possible, I'd suggest removing it. As far as I can tell, there's no lens array on the sensor[1][2], just a normal Bayer filter.

You could get a calibration frame by removing the lens with the sensor centered, and a black frame by putting a lens cap on, to help with corrections.

That looks like a really fun project. With the HDR mode of the sensor you should get some awesome images. Good luck!

I’m building https://coldpress.ai - the idea is to be a large library of labelled datasets (both free and paid), so that ML folks can spend less time hunting down data and more time working on the model.

I don’t want to entirely replace the data gathering + annotation workflow for everyone, but I believe that ready-to-go data can reduce the barrier of entry for ML projects, make _some_ people realize that they don’t really need their own data collection, and even help large businesses reduce their dependency on Scale / Appen.

I am working on a dedicated GPT AI Dungeon Master. Results have been promising so far. Though it has a ways to go before it is even remotely playable outside of "yeah, it'll break if you do that, let me load up the jupyter notebook that can handle that situation."

A physical chores list with a digital component. Unfortunately it has languished for a year due to circumstances of life (family health issues). Now that things are settling down I can return my attention to it.

And I found a functional 4K 55" TV on the street last night that was being disposed of, so I'm trying to decide what to do with that (apart from watching TV on it). I am thinking another cat toy, since the cats trashed their last one.
