I have been working on a symbolic solution to ARC-AGI: https://github.com/nesco/DPS

Shapes are converted into trees of paths, and those trees are compressed using a symbolic lookup table

A LLM can then use those symbols to reason about shapes, and a tree edit distance can be used to group them in categories

I'm building a browser extension that turns your new tab page into a customizable, widget-based dashboard.

It started as a simple way to control my Philips Hue lights from the new tab, but over time it's grown into a daily tool I rely on for:

- Taking quick notes - Launch bookmarked websites - Quick weather updates - Track multiple time zones - Embed parts of websites using an iframe widget (with CSS selectors to isolate elements)

The goal is to make the new tab genuinely useful tailored to your workflow, not just another homepage clone.

It's still a work in progress, so i'd love feedback from anyone into productivity tools, browser customization, or just building cool UI ideas in the browser.

Still working on 3D metal printer slicer CAM software, hobby UHV tolerant microscope positioning stages, and some longstanding puzzles few people would find interesting.

Also designing some odd test-platform peripherals to help validate whether a unique architecture is feasible. =3

I have some friends who were laid off and are on the job hunt. We were all quite surprised to learn that LinkedIn does not have a "view jobs only at companies where I have connections", so I built https://jobsbyreferral.com/

It's powered by https://rapidapi.com/letscrape-6bRBa3QguO5/api/jsearch, which is a little pricey, so I'm trying to decide whether to put more effort into the project (I'd have to charge _something_ to offset the costs).
