I'm working on JustRef[1]: AI Referee for Sports. I shipped the product a few days ago and seeing more than 2K users have already signed up and using the web app. Seeing people enjoy the application you created gives me a lot of enjoyment. Currently, I'm giving away 1 credit for every sign-up. No need to pay to try out. [1]: https://justref.app

That sounds awesome actually, as a woman football player I for sure would have some proper fun with it. You should try to pitch it to the organizations imo!

I'm glad that you enjoy it! Please let me know your email so I can assign some more credits for you to play around more.

Working on Tritium, the legal IDE in Rust ( https://tritium.legal/ ) This month I'm improving CI/CD for e2e testing across Windows, macOS, Linux and Android. Also adding support for unlocking password-protected PDFs and Word docs and improving OCR. OCR runs in the background and leverages native OS OCR where available and a pure LSTM Rust implementation elsewhere. Generally improving the word processor and looking fo…

Are you having lawyers getting of MS Word. Ive tried in the past with no success.

But this is really cool. Its definitely a problem they have.

I'm finishing up a "book tour" (mostly podcasts) for my recently released book on how the country of Estonia modernized so quickly post re-independence from the Soviet Union and became a leader in e-government services and a top EU startup hub (Skype, Bolt, Wise, etc.). I'd love if people checked it out and gave feedback as it's my first big published work and the culmination of quite a few years of research and writ…

Is the story about the Scottish football fans I once heard about them staying true, and partly to blame for some of the entrepreneurial mindset?

I'm not sure the story! Would love to hear about it

In a Lua scripting framework to: - enforce non-globals - project hierarchy (for tests and documentation) - cli access for .md package docs - installation in path - extension of Lua stdlib (fs.mkdir, os.realpath) - module autoloading/lazyloading Expected support for Lua 5.4 and luajit. At first entirely in Lua with long term goal to compiled Lua modules (merging Wax) The goal is to make Lua the first choice for system…

This sounds interesting! I often want to reach for Lua for general scripting in lieu of python or bash, but packaging and other issues make it a rough experience. I'd love a link!

Congratulations on the book release. Do you plan to make an audiobook version for it?

Thanks! As of right now, no, but I'm sure if the book sells well enough the publisher will invest in an audiobook (given the state of AI I'm guessing the cost to develop one is going down extremely rapidly so hopefully the bar is lower than it used to be)

From the linked Hackaday article: > If you don’t want to kill flies, wasps, bees, or other useful pollinators while eradicating the tiny little bloodsuckers that are the drone’s target, you need to be able to not only locate bugs, but discriminate mosquitoes from the others. > For this, he uses the micro-doppler signatures that the different wing beats of the various insects put out.

Imagine the sound a mosquito makes when it flies near your ear; it's quite distinct. I'm sure it's possible to distinguish mosquitos based on that (which is a factor related to the doppler signature mentioned).

I wonder how distinct it is, really. It sticks out to us, but “mosquitos is enemy #1” is one of the strongest evolutionary pressure we’ve got, right? And one of the few that persists to this day.

Our brains probably have a dedicated cluster of neurons in there somewhere specifically looking for the Mosquito noise.
