#662I made this bookmarklet, which will speak highlighted text in the browser regardless of platform. It also makes the initial letters of each word bold. This is the code:
javascript:void function(){ javascript:(function(){ var selection = window.getSelection().toString(); if (!selection) { alert("Please select some text on the page."); return; } var encodedSelection = document.createElement("div"); encodedSelection.textContent = selection; var processedContent = encodedSelection.innerHTML.replace(/\n/g, "
"); var words = processedContent.split(" "); var formattedText = ""; var speechContent = ""; for (var i = 0; i " + word.substring(0, chunkSize) + ""; var lightPart = "" + word.substring(chunkSize, word.length) + ""; var formattedWord = boldPart + lightPart; if (word.endsWith(".")) { formattedWord += " *"; } formattedText += formattedWord + " "; speechContent += word + " "; } var newWindow = window.open("", "_blank"); newWindow.document.write("Spoken Content"%20+%20formattedText%20+%20"

#663I’ve been working on robotics for a few months now. I have built an arm, started receiving parts for my quadruped, and have learned enough RL to at least hold opinions on it (my background is ML/LLM training, so a bit different). Eventual goal before I return to work next year is to have a robot I can take on walks with me that will pick up trash.
This sounds very cool. I too am exploring RL these days. Would you like to share more about your learning path@

#664Trying to innovate digital language learning by building actual learning games, not just gamified apps.
Currently experimenting with a game build around the old classroom method of Total Physical Response — you can see a very early prototype here: https://kolja-sam.itch.io/the-tpr-game-gala

#665I am working on improving a system to inform citizens about the public benefits for which they are eligible [0]. It's hold by Barcelona City Council.
It analyzes the social situation of a person, or group of people that live together, and forecasts those benefits that they could access. It is an old base code that uses OpenFisca for the back, and React for the front. However, it's quite fun though. Currently I'm working on make it more stable as there are still some parts that could break the process.

#666https://defguard.net/ - open-source SSO service built with rust on top of wireguard & OIDC. It's been a lot of work but we're slowly gaining traction and nearing the 1.0 release.
Some of the features:
* OpenID Connect based Identity Provider
* OpenLDAP synchronization - currently supporting users and groups synchronization
* MFA with TOTP, email, WebAuthn / FIDO2, crypto wallets
* wireguard client GUI integrated with OIDC, supporting multiple locations (https://defguard.net/client)
* secure enrollment & onboarding
* yubikey provisioning

#667I'm working on a pretty simple, chess-based strategy game. It's fun to work on it while I have time during summer vacation.

#670I just started working on an engine for turn-based table-top games like Dominion, 7 Wonders, Catan, etc.
During university, I spent some time working on an AI agent to play Dominion, but a very large part of the work was building a way to simulate the game.
The goals are:
- Develop an engine that's efficient enough to use in simulations (for training AI agents or analyzing the game). - Still emit events that can be used to visualize the current state of the game when real people are playing. - Create primitives that are easy to distribute across a network for remote players/agents.
