I've started playing with Zork-Bench.[1] I've been making tweaks to the runtime/harness and to the prompting. Currently, I have Qwen3.6-27b scoring up to ~50 points, which, according to the original paper [2], is comparable to the performance Claude Opus 4.5 showed on this task.

I had Claude whip up a viewer, which I guess I can actually share. Some real sessions are here, if anyone's interested: https://zork-tmp.taf.codes/

It's a fun problem for thinking about agent/harness engineering generally.

https://vorbim.org/ - free AI generated website for russian speaking folks in Moldova to learn romanian.

AI to generate lessons, excercises AI text to speech to make pronounciations AI to code cards open sources words dbs.

fun 1 month project. gets like 100ppl daily.

https://domio.md/ - zillow for moldova.

same idea - there isn't really a zillow like website in moldova - mostly classifieds sites. so I figured why not - gonna scrape the internet and put them on the map. we'll see what comes of it.

An automated, full garment knitting machine that can fit on a desk. There are only a few knitting machines that can automatically do everything required to knit a complete garment, and they are large, heavy and extremely expensive. I'm aiming to trade off speed against size and cost to create something akin to a 3D printer for knitwear. I've been testing out various ideas for six months now, and I think I have a work…

This does sound incredible. If there's anywhere to follow your progress please let us know.

Building CVD Portal, a free whitelabel Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure platform for EU manufacturers, plus tooling for the incoming Cyber Resilience Act. From September 2026 the CRA obliges manufacturers to file a 24 hour early-warning and 72 hour report to ENISA for actively exploited vulnerabilities.

Recent work is all top-of-funnel. Free no-signup self-assessment and exposure-scan tools that pull in people who don't yet know they have an obligation.

Continuing to work on https://attachedapp.com.

ChatGPT validates your spirals. We help you prevent them.

We're in the middle of v2 over the next few months based on everything we've learned since launching ~a year ago.

As a habitual side project guy for the longest time, it's so satisfying to finally stick to one thing and go really deep. This thread has been highly motivating.

I'm working in building an ultrasound system to see inside of myself.

So far I've got the analog front end manufactured and sitting on my desk able to stream 40Msps of data to my computer.

I bought some used ebay convex medical probes with like 360 connections and have started to reverse engineer them.

There's a lot of FPGA work involved and ive got AI helping me out. It's surprisingly been really good at FPGA programming.
