I'm working most of my time on nao [1] (an open-source analytics agent).

With nao we are exploring the fact that agents are good to work with filesystems, so we help people getting the context into the filesystem and then you can plug our agent loop on top (on anything else).

The most exciting part is working with sandboxes and emulating filesystems. So at the moment the filesystem is local, but it could be a bucket or a database that we emulate as real filesystem for the agentic loop, all of this can also be mounted to sandboxes, and in the end you can do data transformations all in isolation with control on the context.

Cooking up a NSFW filter for marginalia search. Pipeline so far has gone like this: * Use the search engine's API to query a bunch of depravity * Use qwen3.5 to label the search results and generate training data * Try to use fasttext to create a fast model * Get good results in theory but awful results in practice because it picks up weird features * Yolo implement a small neural net using hand selected input featur…

Never heard about it. Is it like Google search? And why does it need a nsfw filter?

I already posted in this thread, but then I remembered a few months ago I had posted about my ISP + web host project. [1]

Since then, I configured all the hardware (switches, router, server, bastion host, etc), put it in a real colo, and am doing BGP with one upstream (with a second upstream and some peers on the way). This means I'm officially part of the internet! E.g. https://bgp.tools/as/55078

I'm just working on some BGP and network hardening stuff, then I'll start putting real live services on the server. And in parallel, I'm working on getting the link from my home to the colo active, so I can be my own home internet provider.

I'm still having a lot of fun releasing daily puzzles for my game Tiled Words: https://tiledwords.com It just won an award! It was awarded Players' Choice out of 700 daily web games at the Playlin awards: https://playlin.io/news/announcing-the-2025-playlin-awards-w... Right now around 3,500 people play every day which kind of blows my mind! It's free, web-based, and responsive. It was inspired by board games and cros…

My wife and I just finished our morning Tiled Words and Bracket City. It's become part of our morning routine. Thanks for it, it's a lot of fun!

I'm working on a project for deploying containerized workloads across your own servers, but with great dx from starting on a $5 server to migrating/scaling to 200 servers (no downtime required for any migrations). think coolify, but with railway dx and no single server limitations.

there's no control plane, each node is equal and eventually consistant and its (so far) end to end rust so a very minimal footprint per node.

Since subreddits related to identifying AI images/videos got very popular, my wife started to send me cute AI generated videos, older family members can't distinguish AI videos at all, I've decided to code a weekend side project to train their Spidey sense for AI content. https://IsThisAI.lol The content is hand picked from tiktok, Instagram, Facebook, Reddit and other AI generating platforms. Honestly I don't know w…

I am too skeptical of videos and way too trusting of photos I guess.
