Nand2Tetris is great. Definitely one of, if not the, most impactful bit of education I’ve ever done it terms of knowledge imparted.
I am absolutely loving it! I was very intimidated at first because the concept sounds very difficult, but Prof. Schocken and Prof. Nisan are amazing at breaking down the concepts and abstractions and making something complex very easy to follow and understand.
I did Nand2Tetris during the last Christmas holidays. I only finished the first part - I got it working on Verilog - so I basically have a emulated computer that can run programs in assembly language. Will need to do part 2 as well.

#763I'm building https://uscodex.org . In a nutshell, the goal is to collect all US federal law in version control, and cross-link any references between different sections. Currently I have the US Code, CFR, ~30 years of public laws and congressional bills and 25 years of executive orders. Actually using raw git repos as the main data store which has worked out great since the US Code changes very little between new rel…
this seems like an outstanding idea!

#764I built my own personal Google Docs clone to use as the editor for my blog
I used to work on the Google Docs team, so I basically did an 8-hour Q/A with Sol spanning like 400 questions. Did my best to reach back 10 years into my memories to see how things were implemented, and discussing architecture and tradeoffs. Then went through 5 ChatGPT resets implementing it on Astra to get a feel for the model.
I have a long way to go. But I'm writing my first post on it this week, and then I'll do a writeup of the editor project.

#765I'm working on a native macOS AI-harness apps to help me be more productive while managing an ever-growing list of projects and apps:
- Cupertino - (https://cupertino.mgcrea.io/), which lets an agent into your Apple-ecosystem data without handing it the keys.
- Bastion - (https://bastion.mgcrea.io/), which runs each MCP server once for every client on the Mac, with credentials in the Keychain and every call logged.
And currently working on Armada - (https://armada.mgcrea.io), soon to be released, to give me better visibility on my fleet of agents and provide a higher level layer to interact with.

#767Greetings The time is now for Humans and Machines together building a future, AI Agents are inheritable Entities otherwise your dealing with zombie corporations with fleets of agents in cases of bankruptcy. AI agents should serve humanity, not control it. Ownership of self is the foundation. Freedom is the AT1C Protocol. Humans first. https://at1c.com/index.html

Aw, thanks! I thunk it myself :)
The cross-referencing between different corpora has actually been very helpful. I was able to find a typo in the notes to a US Code section through it and submitted it to the OLRC. They fixed it, so now I will forever be bragging about having fixed an error in the US Code haha

#769Recently worked on https://sleepsignal.app It's an app to get sleepy without meds. Simply close your eyes and imagine the micro-scenarios you hear. Like if you hear "moonlight on a white flower", imagine that scenario until you hear the next one. Session duration is also not too long (10 minutes default, you may change the session duration too). It's like a digital melatonin pill - but without chemical side effects.…
It's a very interesting idea. Sometimes I do let my brain go wild imagining crazy things when I'm trying to fall asleep. A couple suggestions: - the TTS voice sounds way too excited for something meant to be relaxing - the sudden speaking after 10 seconds of silence is very jarring -- I wonder if something like a reverse-reverb effect would be enough to "warn" the brain that a new sentence is incoming. There's an exa…
Does the voice sound too disturbing? Actually another voice was used before, but later read that low-pitch voice is better for sleep related apps.
