Today I made the mistake of adding CodeRabbit to a repo out of curiosity - it made 70 comments on my code (a mix of hallucinations, extreme nitpicks, some useful suggestions, and it even caught a few bugs). So, that's fun I guess. github.com/zakkbob/mxguard/pull/1 Oh, I also messed up a rebase and now my last 50 commits say they were done today.

Day 6, I didn't do much since I spent way too long on other projects and chatting on slack but the maths book is almost done yay

Finally made the AI interface with the lua scripts! It still is a pain to train, since im on a laptop with no gpu (yay) but t5-flan-base is pretty ok to use for something like this. I also figured out a way to stream and download youtube videos at the same time ( i fully ripped off the script from one of my previous projects though, its pretty much just an improved version of that) github.com/LibreNetwork-dev/Clara/commit/41083de0252896af70e3b7b333ac4df3b2aa0bea

Just shipped #C091PEQP7CJ|! It's like #C07UJMV9389| but for Summer of Making, and gives you updates for stock changes, new items and price reductions! I took a lot of what I learnt from High Seas Monitor and Arcade Monitor to make the codebase more maintainable and easy to hack on! •

happy-dom (dom library for nodejs/bun) is used to parse the som shop's html • 🚢 arktype (a library to validate the shape of types) is used for safe env vars, better intellisense, and to ensure that the scraping script isn't reporting false/undefined data because of a page change (it'll stop the script from running further and pinging people for false updates) •

sentry is used to monitor errors. since the bot does html scraping, it can be slightly fragile - sentry (to report errors) + arktype (to throw errors) help prevent that from happening •

jsx-slack lets you use jsx instead of json for block kit! while it doesn't use react, it helps keep your code a lot shorter and you get better intellisense. i use it for all the bot's messages and it's been a joy to use! •

bun to use typescript/tsx without a bundler + for superfast package management! code's at github.com/skyfallwastaken/som-monitor. dual licensed under MIT and Apache 2.0.

Finally learnt what gpg keys actually are, and made my own... Now I get a fancy tag next to my git commits

The raspberry pi zero destroyer - the icepi zero I've been hacking away lately, and I'm now proud to show off my newest project - The Icepi Zero! In case you don't know what an FPGA is, this phrase summarizes it perfectly: "FPGAs work like this. You don't tell them what to do, you tell them what to BE." You don't program them, but you rewrite the circuits they contain! So I've made a PCB that carries an ECP5 FPGA, and has a raspberry pi zero footprint. It also has a few improvements! Notably the 2 USB B ports are replaced with 3 USB C ports, and it has multiple LEDs. This board can output HDMI, read from a uSD, use a SDRAM and much more. I'm very proud the result of multiple weeks of work! (All the sources are at github.com/cheyao/icepi-zero under an open source license :D) Big kudos to #C07F3EA2L8G| for sponsoring this

cooking up a quick little thing to connect little cellular microcontrollers to each other. hit the button, it turns the LED on all other devices on while held. In theory can have unlimited devices. If I have time I'm also going to make a sveltekit dashboard to run in a cloudflare worker, it'll store the state of all the connected devices and can be used to set the color they're showing, brightness, etc.

Almost done my Swirl site!

I got it moving well Yay.

i have been working on a booklet/hacklet with no knowledge of JavaScript other than my friends support (he knows what he is doing) and so far i have a draggable box with a error click me button it is easier to see on roblox web

started working on a silly hacklet thing

spent a few hours making a little #C08PJMATU8Y| submission! it's a bookmarklet that gathers a bunch of data on the subdomains of a website into a nice little ui. it was fun getting typescript to compile to bookmarklet. code @ github.com/gusruben/dns-snooper-bookmarklet

After digging through Sprig’s schematics, figuring out the right CircuitPython libraries, and spending countless hours debugging errors in Thonny’s serial shell, I finally got my <https://github.com/Irtaza2009/Hackamon|Hackamon code> (submission to #C0809PN4TPE|

I cleaned up a ton of Archimedes code! There's still a LOT of work left to do but this is already a really good start imo - probably will work on it a bit more next week? Not sure

scrapyard ship incoming

> what started as me meeting a stranger-soon-friend at the airport w/ @ThomasStubblefield and asking him why he was wearing fake prescription glasses to make himself look smarter turned into the most fire hackathon project ever. this weekend, @ArnavChauhan , @TCYTseven , and i worked together to think of the most useless project we could built in ~24 hours + with the ray-ban meta ai glasses (yes, those glasses). introducing (brace yourselves, and give me credit for the name) our final project, "POKER? I HARDLY KNOW HER!" ♦️ ♣️ you might've come across this every-day situation many times in your life: you have homework assignments due tommorow but you ALSO want to play poker

. just wear our glasses and 1) have them analyze your hand, the cards on the table, and the emotions of the poker faces in the room around you to 2) calculate a probabilty

of you winning the game and then 3) answer the next question on your homework but with an accuracy rate inversly proportional to your odds of winning poker match. using computer vision, opencv, roboflow, openai

, elevenlabs, & opensource python

libraries we've made this a reality for you. watch our <https://youtu.be/JVtFxCJw5ng|demo> to get the full experience!

scrappy moment: turns out meta

provides no easy way to access the camera feed from the glasses for analysis. however (!!), they do allow access to the camera feed in their own services (yes, we ended up making facebook accounts for this initially 💀). the live video used on this project is taken from a whatsapp video call between two devices + obs

video capture.

github repo: github.com/sahitid/meta-vision-project 🕶 📼 full demo: youtu.be/JVtFxCJw5ng *tl;dr:* we made a meta glasses-powered system that lets you play poker and do homework at the same time—but the better you do at one, the worse you perform at the other. *super special thanks* to @ShubhamPatil @kevinjosethomas @sarthak @Atulya-U04FJLBJ72S @JesseCogburn (jimbooo) @Mohamad @Rhys-U04GECG3H8W for the hours of moral support + starring in our demo + teaching us about your love for horiculture + & of course "chris"

day... 3? of #C045S4393CY|. Today I worked on my #C088UF12N1Z| game a lot, adding a resource management system, tooltips (this was really hard to get right

), and a smarter tower (now it shoots in the general direction of enemies

!). Most importantly, we also started a doc formalizing our game and dividing up tasks.

Day 4 of <#C045S4393CY|>

I made the scroll indicator disappear when you scroll down :D also added more info abt myself Working on right after this post + tmr: • adding a header + footer • adding more pages like a portfolio

day 3 of #C045S4393CY| i had to nuke db buttt it works with the json api now

https://scrapbook-into-the-redwoods.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/e75fd196-c6d6-46fe-a4a0-86fea58d782c-image.png

Today I worked a bit on my black box project. It turns out math.h isn't available, so I did some digging so I could write my own sine & cosine functions (which turned out to be a bit of a rabbit hole). I ended up using the Taylor series approximation, which works alright for values between -PI and PI (and makes my brain go a bit mushy). Now I can draw a rotated rectangle (yay!).

Day 1/15 of #C045S4393CY|

Today I worked on getting a redis

db and an api to get/post links/tags. So now I have an api (/api/link ) that when you GET with an tag (for example aram ) it returns the URL fetched from redis (ex. https.aram.sh ). Now I need to work on making it so when I go to a URL (ex. <http://elr.sh/aram|elr.sh/aram`>) it hits that endpoint and redirects to it!
