Thanks! Super interested in hearing more about some of the battle-scars you've acquired from working in the space if you're open to sharing? Very early in the journey here, so still have a ton to learn! So far, it seems like the f

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 wi

I'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

The constant "By the way..." from Alexa drove me nuts. If you say "Alexa, stop by the way", it'll get the device to stop responding with follow-ups for ~24h. I ended up creating a routine that runs every night at 4a

I've been tickled by the idea of a follow-up version, Send Me To Hell, where users instead throw their phones _downward_. High scores are awarded based on the maximum speed achieved as the phone hits the ground.

The second example for each language sample where the generated squid ends up being “B4aajs” essentially reads as “P0ooop” to a Swedish speaker. Which is fine, they don’t propose to filter “bad” words in other languages, but kind of funny w

The Common Paper app[1], though not quite a git workflow, has always struck me as being pretty close to how an software engineer might approach contracts: 1. An immutable set of standard terms, with variable references. 2. A collection of c

RoQR: https://roqr.app/ It's a privacy-focused dynamic QR code application. Just got my first paying customer this past week, which I'm pretty stoked about! The costs of running it are very low (~$15 / month)

No, the calculation is done per transaction, not per block. You can calculate the per-block consumption pretty easily based on the stat that there are about 150[1] blocks mined daily and the total TWh used per year for the network is 200[2]
