Three projects - up one from last month!

1. https://llmstxt.studio

I really believe that we're going to see this adopted as a standard for on-demand inference specifically from low powered devices. We'll give them a guide of intent and periodically it will get scored. It just makes sense.

However, sites change and markdown is hard for a lot of people. We take that for granted as technical people.

2. https://probe.bike

Continuing working on probe.bike to allow you to tell stories as a user from your bikepacking data. See the full route, share the full route, and figure out your totals from calories to kudos. Gonna be doubling down again on this soon.

3. https://flopper.io

It's really hard to understand what 10 gigawatts actually is in terms of GPUs. Or what the individual TDP of your GPU estate is.

I've built flopper to try to act as a translation layer and calculator. Some inspiration from vantage.sh here.

AI is making it possible to moonlight on these projects. Definitely burning candles at both ends though.

I've been vanlifing for a few months now. I tend to have long hours on the road where my mind wonders and I want to write code hands-free. So, I built it. Using ChatGPT's voice agents to generate Github issues tagging @claude to trigger Claude Code's Github Action, I created https://voicescri.pt that allows me to have discussions with the voice agent, having it create issues, pull requests, and logical diffs of the c…

Your van is probably better than mine, but when I was vanlifing with my wife, I really regretted spending so many long hours on the road. If I did it over again, I'd try to limit driving to a max of two hours per day and five hours per week. We spent far too much money on repairs and not nearly enough time writing code or exploring the places I drove through. Or past. Are you reviewing code by voice, like a blind pro…

Haha "better" is definitely relative. It's a 1977 Toyota micromini rv that I purchased for $750.

At least 50% of the available storage is tools to fix mechanical, plumbing, and electrical issues that appear, because it is inevitable given the mileage we are putting on. Definitely living a Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance lifestyle at the moment.

Code review absolutely happens via voice. The voice agent has access to the pull requests and code diffs and is able to reason about the changes and explain them to me.

I'm also playing around with a tool that opens up a visual preview of the Vercel/Netlify preview deploys so I can explore the (web) changes handsfree.

Emacspeak is new to me. I'll look into it. Thanks!

Currently working on an advanced analytics tool for 0DTE trade data, which allows to scan through massive amounts of data in the least amount of time, find seasonal patterns created by institutional investors, blast credit chains for profitable trades and simulate / backtest arbitrary trades in conjunction to create portfolios. So far the software yielded several successful trading strategies, which outperform standa…

Sounds interesting. Is retail the target customer? Where do you source your data from?

I'm a filmmaker, so I built myself the filmmaking community tool that I wanted to use. I'm headed to filmquest in provo this month to premiere my short and that's gonna be a big test of my application. Check out my project and my short film at https://cinesignal.com/p/call154

AI filmmaker? All the scripts and images look like LLM generated.

There's two scripts up there that are AI generated for exhibition purposes. Everything else was written AFAIK by a human. The cover images are made by AI, yes.

All the Scores are human made, Galleries, and Reels.

I'm trying to make a place where AI enhances the creator and doesn't replace them. Check the about page.

Two-player adversarial version of https://foximax.com

Porting a trivia quiz game I wrote 25 years ago from a Java Applet to the modern-day web. Has a scoring mechanism like golf (par-5 harder, par-3 easier, wrong answer choice costs a shot, etc.) Funny how one's code looks the same or different after 25-years!

A couple of other things I can't mention for various reasons... hopefully next time.

I am working on several projects at the moment. But I'm deeply invested in with: https://www.aleatoria.chat. It's a random chat site, and I knew from day one that moderation would be the single most difficult challenge.

Server-side analysis using to flag conversations and video feed analysis is in the works... far for being perfect.

The user-driven reporting system has been challenging because I have not find a way to validate the report.

I am striving for balance... not too strict and also allowing to be spontaneous. It's a fascinating and incredibly difficult problem.

There are other learning projects that are not in a shareable state, but help me to focus on something else when I am overwhelmed.
