I got an LLM to dynamically set its own temperature!
Just wrote a blog post on how I did this and why dynamic temperature adjustment might be a valuable ability for a language model to possess.

My work was featured in The New Yorker this week!
The "Goings On" section, which focuses on curating cultural touchstones and happenings, linked to my interactive webpage on Earth's obscure islands as part of their annual "Summer Culture Preview."

I built an ESP32-based DNS sinkhole that stops you from doomscrolling!
This was a really fun project that I wrote a detailed blog post about.
In it, I document my experience building this thing, and I also share what I’ve learned about DNS, networking, and low-level programming along the way ⬇️

I wrote a script that uses Google’s Gemini-1.5-Flash model to fix typesetting and formatting issues in public domain eBooks from Project Gutenberg.
It’s open source, and it works thanks to Gemini’s insanely long context window (1M+ tokens)!

Spending time going through this gallery of "interesting islands" makes me very happy. Like poring over the Brittanica atlas as a kid and reading stories of the bermuda triangle, read to me by Jed Barlett.
