Finishing up my PhD thesis on low-resource audio classification for ecoacoustics. Our partners deployed 98 recorders in remote Arctic/sub-Arctic regions, collecting a massive (~19.5 years) dataset to monitor wildlife and human noise. Labeled data is the bottleneck, so my work focuses on getting good results with less data. Key parts: - Created EDANSA [1], the first public dataset of its kind from these areas, using a…

How do I download the sounds, seems like a great resource for game developers and other artists

Our labeled dataset (EDANSA, focused on specific sound events) is public here: https://zenodo.org/records/6824272. We will be releasing an updated version with more samples soon.

We are also actively working on releasing the raw, continuous audio recordings. These will eventually be published via the Arctic Data Center (arcticdata.io). If you'd like, feel free to send me an email (address should be in my profile), and I can ping you when that happens.

A Lottie animation generator that allows to create a Lottie animation from an image and text input.

That sounds really cool. How would you create such a thing?

The current workflow is create an image with stable diffusion, vectorize it, convert it to Lottie format, and than use a function that can create the Lottie animation keyframes.

This is probably one of the most redundant project out there, but a RSS reader app designed with Tauri, Sveltekit, Tailwind. I wanted to build this to stay in sync with product development as I don't get to do this a lot in my day-to-day job. I also want to build a game, but it is so much effort. I do wish to pursue it in near future.

We’ve been building a new social-enabled git collaboration platform on top of Bluesky’s AT Protocol: https://tangled.sh You can read an intro here: https://blog.tangled.sh/intro (it’s publicly available now, not invite-only). In short, at the core of Tangled is what we call “knots”; they’re lightweight, headless servers that serve up your git repository, and the contents viewed and collaborated upon via the “app view…

How is the support for LFS? Also, what backend language? I have some Go code for implementing an LFS server and auth but did not want to build a full code forge. All of the major Git hosts have woefully bad LFS management (e.g. if you want to purge a file from history have to delete the whole repository).

I am sharing what I learnt building electric cars. On YouTube: https://youtube.com/@foxev-content In a learning app: https://foxev.io/academy/ On a physical board where people can explore electric car tech on their desk: https://foxev.io/ev-mastermind-kit/ Backstory: from 2018-2023 I converted London taxis to be electric and built three prototypes. We also raised £300k and were featured in The Guardian. I have a day-…

I am working on Merklemap, a CT search engine: https://www.merklemap.com/

Looks at counter... 14 Billion certificates. How do you even keep that site manageable, must be close to 100TB of certificates data alone. Are you running trigram index for the domain wildcard search, does that not kill your performance with so many domains?

CTHULOOT, a fun arcade coop game that will soon be released on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2283410/CTHULOOT/

Looks great. Any plans to release for the Switch?

Yes! Switch version is in QA so we hope it will only be few months away from PC release.
