Putting the finishing touches on my LLM based town simulator. Once it's finished I'll have it simulate 4 hours in the town every 2 hours in reality. It is designed to solve the problem of "RPG hero just killed a dragon in front of the town and no one says anything about it." All the NPCs realistically react and talk about the Hero's exploits. Visitors to the site can vote on what quest the hero undertakes next. I'm r…

This sounds nuts…and exciting. Makes me want to tinker with small models, what a neat concept.

I'm still working on my first self designed PCB. It's nothing special, just a temperature and humidity sensor using esp32. I started it to teach myself more about PCB design and embedded programming. Yesterday I published a blog article on it. https://www.felixmaurer.de/blog/2024/10/27/building-an-iot-s...

First pcb is always special. Good luck

I am at the beginning of Territory.fun .

It let you draw and decorate the world around you (think r/place on a map). So far people seem to like it and are making some nice little drawings in their neighbourhood. I have seen some funny projects like the Star Wars Rebel Alliance logo in east of Paris, some cute ninja turle, a "Kamala" on 5th Avenue in NYC (no politics here, it is just fun for me seeing people claiming some territory on my game).

I do this as a hobby and love it so far.

My son (5y) loves stories with pictures. So I made a small web-app that allows him to record a story idea and it will generate a story + pictures. It will even read it to him.

It was a quick weekend project. I wanted to try v0 and cursor a bit more. And I love how simple it is to use LLMs (structured mode) + DALL-E to build creative things.

Other AI/LLM projects I've recently (~1y) worked on - distill.fyi (professional): auto gen people/company profiles (aka LinkedIn on steroids) - spaarkd.com (professional): create, produce and ship individualized fashion via AI/LLM - email categorizer: used multimodal LLMs to read email + attachments and categorize them (complaint, sign up, signed form, cancellation,...) - line-items.com (hobby): converts receipts into JSON

PS: I'm currently job hunting. Please see my profile for more :)

As I got laid off 2 weeks ago, I finally have the time to work on one of my side projects:

Breathing Tips - a free web app to practice breathing exercises.

Tech stack: Ruby on Rails 7.2, sqlite3, BabylonJS for the 3D visuals, hosting on hetzner for 4$ and deployed with kamal 2

I am playing with a Tillitis TKey, to use it as an HSM. I write its firmware in Zig (works great on that small RV32 chip), while learning it. I am also launching a consulting firm specialized on cryptographic solutions.

If you have multiple servers with multiple SSH users it starts to become hard to manage who has access to what.

I wanted an easy way for an org admin to remove a users access (eg. If they leave the org), while also providing one place for end-users to upload their public keys to be synced across all servers.

There are some compliance elements too (eg. reporting who has access to what, centralized user login history, server sshd configuration).

I’m learning Go while I build it and so far it’s rather enjoyable. As one guy I’m not interested in the extra effort that comes from providing a hosted service - so I’m going to offer it as pay-once own forever self-hosted solution.

I started a Slack community for the South African tech scene [1] that turns 10 in January so I've been pondering my successes and failures there, as well as what it's future holds.
