On the personal technology front - I've been finding desktop notifications incredibly frustrating - to the point that I've had them off for years. The reality is that on a per-service basis, I want specific notifications.

I'm working on a CLUI that will receive notifications from my configurations and plugins - so that I can filter what I want specifically. It's a good excuse to play with several random things.

An AI language teacher you can talk to (Mandarin Chinese only, to begin with).

https://polyvox.app

I'm betting there will be few of these popping up, mostly based on ChatGPT/Whisper. I'm a bit more loose with the "AI" angle, because I'm taking a slightly different tack (after a lot of development and experimentation work):

1) I'm incorporating actual lessons, rather than open-ended/free-for-all conversations.

2) I wanted to interact with an actual avatar, not just a textbox.

3) ChatGPT makes mistakes (sometimes, really bad ones - grammatical, vocabulary, you name it). I'm vetting all lessons/content to make sure it's accurate.

4) Everything on-device, no APIs and no remote hosting. If you buy it, it's yours forever.

My stock discovery algo[0] averaged 21% daily increase last month and we're launching in a couple of weeks.

if you can generate returns in a bear market, then what’s the worry?

Don't get me wrong, I still believe there is money to be made in crypto. Stocks are different in that there is obviously many different industries and therefore many different reasons to get excited, for example Feetr has been into pharma stocks as of late and I speculate that to be the result of Covid increases in China. Crypto is a bit more homogeneous and if people are currently not enthused by the core concept, I don't know that there will be much new money.

However we'll be in a position to capitalise on the next bull market, that's for sure.

I took a break from working on my dumb Rust JIT project (lineiform) to write a safe concurrent garbage collector library (samsara) for a few months. It's mostly done now (save for figuring out good benchmarks to tell how bad it is), so I want to try working on lineiform again.

I'm interested in knowing if you'll have an API at some point. I'd love to integrate this with LogicTrader ( https://logictrader.xyz ), which is crypto only for now but can be expanded to stocks too.

Yes, absolutely planning an API. It'll most likely come after the alerts. Planned functionality is still an ongoing discussion so people like yourself will be instrumental in those conversations I assume.

Best of luck with the company!

I self-published my first (and only so far) novel last year. It's an amazing feeling when you see your printed book. I still sometimes wonder to myself, "did I really do that?"

I wish you the best with your novel.

would be interested how this works out. I was working with people this way but it turned out people don't do logical decisions, they decide basic on assumptions which may not be true. somebody with a charismatic personally was always better to sell ideas and decision was not based on evidence.
