Building a machine learning framework from scratch to learn how everything works.
There exists a myriad of hobbyist frameworks from before, all of them in Python, so to add something original I'm doing it in VBA (for the extra challenge):

#492Im working on a platform for people to run their social hobbies and activities. Organize meetups, find when to meet, run ticketed events. for free! I use it myself to organize my weekly cycling group of friends and friends of friends. Paid stuff coming very soon, just onboarding some groups and get some feel https://embers.club/en
I love your landing page :)

#493I've been working on a note-taking tool / daily todo-app: https://crom.ai/ - Currently in closed beta. It uses basic markdown and some additional custom elements to annotate data.
The idea is that you get a daily for every day, with the items ticked off on the last day removed. So a new daily every day. At the same time, there is some integration with AI to get feedback on things to break down. You can give it some instructions, focus, and also tune the amount of feedback.
I've had this in so many incarnations before, but never made it 'properly'. It's a pet project, but do want to release it at some point.
I'm adding people to the beta bit-by-bit.

#494I'm developing a pipeline to sync underwater passive acoustic audio with whale sightings around the hydrophones, to then classify that audio using Google's open sourced whale models. The goal is to enrich data from happywhale.com with whale voices, so scientists can further explore communication of these species. I'm trying to keep things as system-agnostic as possible, but am building the first implementation to run on GCP.

#495I invented a programming language where you use Unicode box-drawing characters to draw a structure of boxes and lines: ╓───╖ ║ ! ║ ╙─┬─╜ ┌───╖ ╔═══╗ ┌─────┴─────┤ > ╟──╢ 2 ║ │ ╘═╤═╝ ╚═══╝ ╔════╗ ┌───╖ │ │ ║ −1 ╟──┤ + ╟─┴─┐ │ ╚════╝ ╘═╤═╝ │ │ ┌─┴─╖ │ ╔═══╗ │ │ ! ║ │ ║ 1 ║ │ ╘═╤═╝ │ ╚═╤═╝ │ │ ┌─┴─╖ ┌─┴─╖ │ │ │ × ╟──┤ ? ╟──┘ │ ╘═╤═╝ ╘═╤═╝ └─────┘ │ The language is called Funciton (pronounced: /ˈfʌŋkɪtɒn/) and the above…
This is awesome! I think what it needs now is tooling/an ide to "draw" programs :)
I've long wanted to look for a sort of "ascii drawing program" where one can just draw on a grid with monospace ascii characters and have tools for boxes, circles, etc. Maybe it already exists!

#497I’ve been working on open sourcing a background jobs library I built for Rust and Postgres, called Underway.[0] Unlike other similar queuing libraries, it offers a simple “step” functions API for defining dependent units of work.
I built this because a number of projects I work on need a robust, resilient way of deferring work but I didn’t want to add another piece of infrastructure or another language to my stack. Plus as soon as you start to reach for APIs that offer some kind of workflow concept, your options become fewer and further between.

#499Building https://proofofskill.org
Hiring today is completely broken. We spend too much time evaluating candidates through inefficient systems that fail to verify job-specific skills. Both organizations and candidates are stuck in an endless loop of repetitive assignments and interviews.
That’s why we built the Proof-of-Skill Protocol.
The protocol allows candidates to prove their skills directly to industry experts, known as Skill Validators, and receive Proof-of-Skill credentials that reflect their true skill levels. Organisations can then compare and shortlist candidates basis their proof-of-skill.
We launched our Beta for UI/UX design skills just last week!
