#962https://article2audio.app/ is my creation. It's a BMW of article readers -- it handles images, tables, preformatted text, and many other nuances of a Web page. I built it to scratch my own itch. I invite you to a free trial.
This app can be useful for listeners who want to enjoy articles while driving, in a gym, etc., and for website owners who want to offer an audio version of their articles.

#963I’m working on a collaborative ebook reading app. The idea is that you can create a reading group, invite people and then share comments and highlights and see each other’s reading progress. It’s something I’ve been wanting for a while, for example to read a book with a group of friends or with a work team, but there’s lots of other possibilities including author reading parties, proofing and education. Got the basic…
Is it going to be P2P? It would be much more easier to handle book versions and other such technocalities if it is, allowing people to share the EPUB via the platform and stay in sync

100% deterministic, full-source-bootstrapped, container-native Linux distribution where no single maintainer is trusted.
Use it to build software that matters enough to avoid single points of failure in your supply chain.

#965Not working. The other day I uninstalled Skype from my cell because some group chat notifications had gotten past tolerable.
August is a sanctuary. It's the only thing I can hold every day of the rest of the year against Tech's meaninglessness. It's when I can read and do what I want instead of what I must.

#966I just publicly released the first version of my
web+email+database combined server package that
I have been using myself for a while now for all
the different server based projects I have been
working on.
https://www.robalni.org/server/
I try to keep it as small and simple as possible while still being flexible and containing everything in one package that you need to write server applications. It also has no dependencies except for very common stuff like a standard C library and a Unix-like operating system.

#968I am working alone on https://tree-of-knowledge.org This is a hierarchical representation of any given piece of knowledge. It starts with a tree root node that you specify (let's say Kung fu), then it branches out into multiples subcategories (techniques, styles, philosophy, weaponry, ect...) and then you can click on these subcategories to branch out even more into the graphical tree. This is all generated on-the-fl…
This is very nice I was nerd-snipped by it. Just kept drilling down and exploring adjacent trees in Java.
Thanks for making it authentication-free and free of charge.

#969Building LLM evaluation suites. Basically trying to test LLMs for privacy problems (data leakage/memorisation, PII extraction sort of thing), hallucination(RAG, summarisation etc) and security/compliance stuff(like bias/fiarness, toxicity, jailbreaks/prompt injection).
Involves a bunch of reading research papers, figuring out which ones are relevant to enterprise customers and getting our ML team to build it out. The most interesting part of this is how you present the insights of a given test to a customer in a consumable and usable format. (Ex: Just dumping a bunch of RAG hallucination metrics isn't enough but you want to figure out what are the key insights and interpretations of these metrics which could be useful to a data scientist or ML engineer)
