#72From 50 to 5 seconds. The world's fastest and most up to date investment ai. It's powered directly through our database to ground the information and reduce hallucinations. Still in development though.

#73[NO-AI] Being a weightlifter for 20+ years now, I'm working on a barbell speed and path tracking sensor based on newer IMU hardware technologies, which makes it both more precise and cheaper than camera- or actuator-based systems. Ultimately it helps you lift and train safer and better. It's an intersection of industrial design, hardware, firmware, and software (and some sport science, of course). This intersection i…
Wannabe powerlifter here of about 20 years as well. This sounds like an awesome project! Is bar-path the main metric for safety and "better" lifting? A project I had in mind, once upon a time, was an automatic "Form Check Friday" for myself using a Pi + Webcam.

#74Dealing with some rough stuff in life so I'm involved in random stuff to distract myself. Moved my personal blog to Astro. I wanted to scratch and itch I had about self hosting my comments. So I built a lightweight node-based opensource comment system called discuss - https://github.com/karthikeyankc/discuss.

#75I'm building a chrome extension that scans everything you read and highlights text if it maps to a market on kalshi. On hover, a tooltip pops up allowing you to drop money on it.
Use this to doomscroll nba twitter and sports bet, or if you're feeling more highbrow, peruse the NYT and passively gamble on geopolitical events.

#79Still working on ghidra-delinker-extension, trying to wrap up the OMF object file exporter at the moment. Then I'd like to implement generation of debugging symbols (at least DWARF and CodeView, maybe STABS and CTF), although lately I've received a PR for PowerPC and an issue for delinking shared objects.
I'm also thinking about writing the Necronomicon of delinking at some point. The extension keeps spreading by word of mouth and there's only so much UX improvements I can do, for something that requires throwing everything you've learned in CS 101 into the trashcan before you can "get" it.
