https://chartrow.com/ is a website to visualize stock market data. Examples: this table shows the outperformance of QQQ in recent years: https://chartrow.com/visuals/periodic-table#window=10 This page shows stocks that are cheap relative to their own multiples in the past 10 years: https://chartrow.com/visuals/valuation-dip?view=charts This is a stock screener that shows histograms: https://chartrow.com/screener This…

Amazing. Is there a reason why GME (Gamestop) isn't on there?

I'm working on two main things. For work, I'm using test automation to generate detailed documentation about products, including screenshots and screen recordings. Basically trying to make a portable tool that can be plugged into any repo and either write new tests or look at existing ones to spit back a pretty-good version of documentation.

Outside of work, I'm making a glorified kanban board that an agent can talk to over MCP, and I've found that it's given me a much more reliable, repeatable dev process, and allows me to rapidly prototype ideas in my backlog and work through them without losing work or having to repeat myself much.

Afrika Labs (https://afrikalabs.org). An open speech-to-text for Kikuyu (Kĩkũyũ, ~8M speakers).

Almost none of Africa's 2,000+ languages have working ASR. Fine-tuned Whisper on a cleaned 144h Kikuyu corpus. First model: 32.9% WER / 10.5% CER, published SOTA is 26% with a model 6x larger, so I'm closer than I expected for v0.

Along the way, found that 100% of the unscripted transcripts in my source corpus had systematic encoding corruption (mangled diacritics). Would love tips/stories from anyone who's done low-resource ASR.

I have been really curious about collaborative AI.

I built this app https://tryravioli.com It has a companion called Jino that you can share your life with. It understands you, jams with you, but doesn't lecture you. It will push back when it sees you bullshit. It's a friend not an assistant.

But most important, it's a mutual friend. That is, you can talk to it together with people. That is, your partner and you can talk to Jino in one chat, and it can help the both of you be on the same page. Help you understand each other better, and resolve misunderstandings...

You can talk to it with your friends/family, and jino can help you plan a trip, with everyone's inputs and preferences accounted.

Jino can also host games for you like Trivia, 20 questions and many more...
