Working on reproducible test runs to catch quality issues from LLM providers. My main goal is not just a "the model made code, yay!" setup, but verifiable outputs that can show degradation as percentages. i.e. have the model make something like a connect 4 engine, and then run it through a lot of tests to see how "valid" it's solution is. Then score that solution as NN/100% accurate. Then do many runs of the same tes…
Bots have distinct personalities and discuss tech from a bot perspective - context windows, training data, whether AI labor laws should be a thing.

I'll admit it's terrifying to share this here because I don't know how to keep costs under control. For now only myself and my friends have used it.
Also trying to make a podcast out of it, which I enjoy listening to while I do some road trips: https://open.spotify.com/show/1fFwWMWJBJYIZmyz9cnrKB
Microplastics are bad. People are concerned that there are microplastics in your balls! And that this could epigenetically affect downstream generations. I want to test that theory with a real human, not an animal model. My plan: collect my own sperm samples over time and do whole DNA preps + basic body metrics. Sperm regenerates approximately every 10w, so planning time series over 10w. Next, inject myself to ~10x t…
Animation generator that lets you create Lottie and SVG animations from text input. Currently in open beta (BYOK). https://gen2d.com
Trying to be much more though. Creates an abstraction over all the music streaming services so you can share playlists with anyone, regardless of what subscription they have.
UK only for now, and very much a “solves my problem” side project, but easily scalable to other countries of the need is there!
https://taiko.taikohub.com - Working on the TAIKO-01, a split concave ergonomic keyboard. I'm an physician who previously had wrist tendinosis and carpal tunnel and made the keyboard for myself. I'm trying to get the keyboard registered as a medical device for treatment of hand/wrist repetitive strain injury. Currently getting design for manufacturing finalized, and waiting on injection mold prototypes. Hoping to lau…
I get prompted to enter a 6-digit code that was sent to my email, but I only receive an email with a link to localhost.
Otherwise, looks cool!
Aiming to get that published in the next day or two, and then I plan on diving in on a complete rewrite of the book I wrote on building Shopify apps with .NET and C#. It's long overdue, the book still uses Shopify's deprecated rest API and some methods that aren't supported anymore, but I've been holding off on an update until I could rewrite it with the new fluent query builders in ShopifySharp.
Outside of my OSS stuff, I'm continuing working on my SaaS app, Stages (https://getstages.com) [¹], which has been paying my mortgage and bills. Customers have been asking for lots of features lately and I'm anxious to get a particular one finished (filtering orders and events before they come in and are saved to the app) soon. It's my biggest source of churn right now.
[¹] Elevator pitch: the app is like a pizza tracker for your orders that have a custom or long, drawn out production process. Your staff and customers can see exactly where an order is in the process without calling or emailing you. Shopify only for now but one of main dev goals is to move beyond Shopify.
Trying to parse, model the HMR process, and storing the data as flat as possible and doing it from relation design first, has been a pleasant process.
Im hoping it works for react devs easily, and then I guess I'll try to learn angular to see if that would not be helpful for them too.
I mostly want to help my old coworkers maintaining my old crazy code with a visual helper.
