Things that run

Not screenshots. Every one of these is open right now.

Daily News · Python Whisper ffmpeg A morning digest that transcribes the audio off video posts, collapses duplicate coverage of the same story into one section, and publishes a dated archive.

Backprop to Frontier · HTML localStorage A six-month route from classical ML to training language models from scratch. Thirty-five tracked items, real courses with public materials only.

Claude & GitHub Status · JavaScript Chrome API Both services' health in one toolbar icon that recolours, instead of a panel you have to open. Published on the Chrome Web Store.

AI Frontier · Jupyter Python · in progress Working notebooks for the curriculum above, built from scratch rather than imported — starting at the derivative and the numerical gradient.

Currently

• Agentic engineering — setting practice for an AI Guild; shipped an org-wide Slack bot with access to every MCP tool in our engineering ecosystem.
• Frontier ML from the primitives up, in public. Notebooks and demos land in the index above as they finish, not after the fact.
