#53Working on two topics that I like : browser multiplayer games and experiences, and tools for developers (mostly used in my side projects). First game is https://geocentric.top where users can sculpt a planet collaboratively and place trees or houses (for now very limited). I plan on making it an idle sim where players will be able to interact by dropping some food/events for the creatures on it to evolve through time…
> https://geocentric.top/ This is really fun. Always a fan of any game that shows other people in real time
Thanks! This is also what I love doing as realtime games are something like 90% of my side project. This was a real fun prototype to create as everything regarding terrain is done through shaders (even user cursors). Will soon add a way for people to plant "flags" with small texts that you can highlight.

#56For work related items I’ve been building out agent tooling for building some models and PoC projects related to energy industry applications. Been doing the consulting thing for a bit now and gaining more broad knowledge on some of these data center builds. Hoping to spin this into a product soon.
Started playing with gas town which is really cool. I had a naive version built that was just not good enough. This feels like a step in the right direction.
Haven’t had much time to work on any of my physical hands on hobbies lately but maybe when the weather gets better I’ll head back out to the shop again.

#57Not as impressive, but - making my website weirder. Not a frontend dev at work. Top of my ideas now: add "ask your LLM" buttons to my email submission form that opens ChatGPT/Perp/Claude and auto-fills a query asking it why you should be friends with me. Sample links (I hope it says nice things about me!): Claude: https://claude.ai/new?q=Do+deep+research+on+a+person%2C+dvsj... . ChatGPT: https://chat.openai.com/?q=Do…

#58I'm working on an app to make testing available to all brick and mortar retailers (proofpod.ai).
The most difficult technical challenge has been designing a pipeline to fully automate choosing test & control locations using synthetic difference-in-differences.

#59Built my own Spotify recommendation egnine after getting tired of Spotify’s repetitive recommendations. You get to choose the genres you're interested in, and it creates playlists from the music in your library. They get updated every day - think a better, curated by you version of the Daily Mixes. You can add some advanced filters as well, if you really want to customise what music you'll get. It works best if you f…
Question: do you plan to use some sort of ML recommendation system ?
No, at least not at this point. I have quite a few ideas that are waiting to be implemented, before I can think of anything ML related - if ever.
