@Gus0Made some music for my Halloween Sprig game with @Ruadhan ! It's my first time making something like this and it definitely shows, but given the considerable limitations of the sprig engine I think it turned out decent. Finished game shipping tmrw :sprig-eyes:@msw0i had a dream last night
@cytronicoder0hiii 1 more launch! this one's the kicker, and I don't see any reason I can't share it with you guys!
this summer, I built BioRSP (Biological Radar Scanning Plots)—an open-source tool that took a huge amount of time, effort, and dedication LOL I barely got sleep working
BioRSP is designed to enhance the analysis of single-cell gene expression patterns by simulating radar-like scanning across cell clusters. It’s a major step forward in bioinformatics, particularly for those of us focused on spatial transcriptomics and understanding cellular heterogeneity.
What does that mean? Imagine trying to figure out what’s going on at a massive concert. You can hear some people singing loudly, others talking quietly, and some areas where it’s just silent. But if you were up in the sky with a radar, you could scan the crowd from different angles and figure out exactly where the loudest singers are, where groups of people are talking, and where it’s completely quiet.
In a similar way, BioRSP helps scientists "scan" groups of cells to find out which ones are "singing" (expressing genes) the loudest, which ones are "whispering," and which ones are silent. This tool is super important for discovering new insights about how cells work together in tissues, like in our hearts or brains.
Basically, I wanted it to be a completely new way to visualize and analyze spatial gene expression patterns. Currently, prelim results show that it outperforms traditional methods, like Polar Gini Curves, in detecting subtle and significant spatial patterns. I've also successfully used in a case study involving neonatal mouse heart tissue :blahaj-heart:
I'm incredibly proud of this project, and I’m excited to share it with y'all FINALLY see how it can help researchers - I also published this as an actual preprint (doi.org/10.1101/2024.06.25.599250) (yes yes actually im legit researcher now much wow)

(if u get my project, I rly hope you can vote for it LAWL I submitted 2 projects that I felt were the most meaningful and technically me-representing instead of 20 coughs)
@Gus0redesigned the dashboard for hackatime, might make it into a userscript later :)
@RaghavSinha0made a basic chip 8 emulator, currently added logic and displaying stuff, as well as a time and sound, will add keyboard later
@yazide0I wanted to introduce, TheArctic. True randomness, this is the space I learnt from and whereas I learn, it gets bigger. Access is open for everybody, for free, in exchange of your time at identitycrisis.es you can also see what's behind the curtains at github.com/yazidears/thearctic
@TheTridentGuy0working on cad for a case for v3 of my trail project the blackbox:
@DataChokheli0School system for students and teachers. It's got authentication system, givinggrades system, and seeingdata/seeinggrade system <https://github.com/datchkh/schoolsystem>
@EliD0#hack-hour I spent way to much time rooting a stupid potato fire tablet instead of studying for my spanish final. (not all logged because the bot crashed) I am working on a written guide that I will post as soon as I finish it because no good ones exist.
@rivques0burned out an SMT inductor, did one of the craziest hacks i've ever done, and... it worked
(it's that yellow "coil" that i hand-wound in 5 minutes)@Kieran0Finally working on the control board for my led cube; severely underestimating how much of a pain soldering would be but now I only have 24 more wires left :)
@KarthickArun0Just had an @gch2024coordinators meeting yesterday for organizing Grand Canyon hacks , can’t wait for call with venue sometime in late April.
@EvanGan0Day 38 of #100-days-in-public.
Today I began to start brainstorm a fun hackathon idea, and I plan to start writing an outline for it in the coming days to see how much it would theoretically cost to run.
On another note, I was at the Revere FRC event today and did not time to work on my RP2040 project. The image attached is a photo of the innards of our robot typically covered up by our sponsor panel.
@toby0i found an old raspberry pi 4, and got tinyllama running locally on it with ollama!
@Sarvesh0trying modeling for the #apocalypse poster!
@cupcakes0Worked on some more L-system Fractals and learned about Koch and Bush curves!
@toby0day 9 of #10-days-in-public!! today, i built an app for the student swift challenge. it's super late right now, so i'll ship it all tomorrow, but here's a look at it! :swift: 🧪
@caleb0dynamic placeholders: surprisingly unintuitive to implement@Kieran0crunching the digital animation award edit for #frc! been working since 5:30 which is quite early for me
@ShawnMalluwa-U04BBP8H9FA0Modeled a quick kotatsu today for a background I'm working on #100-days
first time working on creative work in like 2 weeks lol
@karmanyaahm0More vex robotics, running tournament manager this time
@ShawnMalluwa-U04BBP8H9FA0procrastinating my sociology paper so hard that i finished my redesign of the blot pcb mount instead
@ky2006170finished up schematic! Still need to do a double check. Main things worked on:
• Calculating gain for amplifier
• Adding voltage regulator
• Adding resistances for LEDs
@ShawnMalluwa-U04BBP8H9FA0taking the onboard pill once more, doing a second iteration of a PCB i did before even working at HQ. had some holes the wrong size on my first design. I should probably do a pull request
@Kieran0got spotify working offline on my garmin watch!
@leom0Here's a preview of a presentation I'm working on in Keynote - featuring embedded USDZ 3D models and magic move animations! #100-days #100-gord@ShawnMalluwa-U04BBP8H9FA0whats up my sprigsters sprig case frontplate coming soon™️
@jaspermayone0HCB Card Arrived today! Lots of hackathon planning and such today.
@jaspermayone0Visited Hack Club HQ Today! Thomas & I worked on some fun things, with visits from Zach, Kara and others sprinkled in. Had a super great time, definitely going back again soon!
@karmanyaahm0Don't have pictures of the whole thing but I got recruited onto chessbot ig, an electromagnet CNC drags the chess pieces around
