What are you working on? Any new ideas that you're thinking about?

A multiplayer game prototype, written in Rust, using Bevy + egui for graphics. Think of it as a bare bones implementation of a game like Runescape, mostly to test out current LLM capability.

I haven't found much value in LLMs for coding beyond very self contained tasks, but some people speak highly of it, and I want to be sure that I'm not missing out. So from time to time I give new tools a try. This time is "Claude Code on the web".

I've put in an estimated 50 hours so far. It has a client and an authoritative server. The client displays 3D graphics with some placeholder models. From the client, you can click on tiles and move to them, or click on enemies to pathfind and attack them. You can right-click on tiles or monsters to open a menu with options (attack, trade, move). There are some unit tests and a few integration tests.

Right now the issues that Claude has been unable to resolve after a few attempts are: * Attack animations. I'm trying to get it to raise and then lower a rectangular block to simulate a sword attack. It really doesn't get it, and it's harder to write tests for compared to movement and server-client networking. * "Entity interpolation". Rather walking entities instantly moving from tile to tile, movement should flow smoothly.

I have Claude Pro ($20/mo) which let me make a few commits per day. After a few days of that, Anthropic offered $250 in credits to promote "Claude Code on the web". The credits expire after two weeks. I'm now five days into that period and have gone through $50 in credits. It is heavily rate limited and frequently locks me out for multiple hours after only a few interactions, but it's free credits so I can't really complain.

I am working on WeatherLockscreen.koplugin. A KOReader plugin for kindles, kobos and other e-readers that shows the forecast on the lockscreen.

I'm working on a boardgame with the help of AI. It's way too easy to create placeholder art with an n8n pipeline, but GPT-5 regularly fails at writing and debugging LaTeX which I'm using for all of the card creation.

Specifically, TikZ is often outside the ability of GPT5 to successfully write or debug.

Last week I launched https://qcready.com which measures your Post-Quantum Cryptography readiness.

- no sign up, free

- checks PQC usage among all the servers in a domain

- uses Certificate Transparency to find all your TLS endpoints

- tells you how far you are from PQC readiness

Neat. How does it calculate the readiness?

It's the percentage of TLS servers that serve PQ cryptography among all servers in the domain that serve TLS

I'm working on my own code review app powered by local or self hosted LLMs. It started as a way to lint my own code and took off from there. It's basically like greptile or co-pilot, but has some things that they don't:

I finally relaunched my product Onset, a release note management platform.

https://www.onset.io

It took me a year to rebuild it from ground up but finally finished it.

Created a new image generation tool because I believe creativity is a process of trial and error! So multiple models, infinite modality == expansive creativity. :)

I'm building https://github.com/agentset-ai/agentset, RAG as a service that works quite well out of the box.

We achieve this performance by baking in the best practices before any tweaking

How does it handle retrieval in a multi-turn conversation? Is there an intent graph involved?

Does it summarize past context or keep it all?

Right now it's single shot, we're looking into building an "Agentic Retrieval" based on Claude ADK. tbd how it'll work

So retrieve once on the first message, and then use that context for the rest of the conversation?

I am building a community driven data aggregation platform for the Michigan tech ecosystem. This is just a promo page.

On launch there will be a company index, curated newsletter, educational resources in michigan like CS programs, and much more!

Thanks Sam! Means the world. Looking forward to any feedback you have when I launch.

I'm still drawing my comic about a post-scarity dystopia ruled by AIs who present as horrible, unctuous clowns: http://egypt.urnash.com/npol/
