I did see that but the readme kind of scared me off.

With enough effort yeah. Since it can use all of libnds all of the input, displays, memory regions are available to use.

Wrote a short blog post about my experience working on Anthropic's public performance interview question.I really wrote it too, AI only helped with the code lol

I was curious how type checkers work for python, so I started making my own toy one.

Github repo has a link to what I plan to make a series of blog posts I started writing about it

Hah I never have a thing to show off.... yay unemployment?

I made a little thing to count and track how many people are surfing on surfline's webcams to learn a bit about ml/ai, computer vision and deploying these things. I think its neat, and the data is fun in a nerdy way. Not sure what to do with it now. Its been cool, I had to get my own dataset together for it to work.

Check it out at and click around dp52hy5y2zsyt.cloudfront.net

I haven't committed enough to it to buy a domain.

This is really cool. Maybe you could collect the data and make a predictor for how many surfers will show up at a given spot at any point of time during the day. You could record past numbers as well as other factors like weather, time of day, amount of sunlight, etc, and have the model adjust its predictions based on those factors automatically

Thanks for checking it out! I think with a lot of good data there is some cool stuff like that you could figure out. There is a pretty busy spot, that is fun but a bit of a trek. I wanted to find out for my self when the best time to go there might be. Turns out the camera might be to low res.

Hey, Wrote about some work I did a couple years ago at Twitter. Thought people might be interested in hearing a little bit about how some things work there. I shared something about Twitter infra before and that was the feedback I got. So I hope this is interesting too!

twitter runs its own datacenters and has teams to support that. Since its not in a cloud the company runs all their own internal platform stuff you would get on something like aws. that is a large engineering effort. theres also the andorid and ios app, more teams. elon tweeted out a picture for tweet or timeline reads i think. each square is basically a team with an oncall rotation. this is off the top of my head, there's plenty more not visible stuff happening

Hah fair point, I was trying to write for a more general audience. Part of blogging for me is to improve my written communication skills. Appreciate this!

Something like "scales linearly" or "scales exponentially" probably covers it, for whatever case it was (I forget)

really good article btw. really enjoyed reading it.

might pay to flag when systems you talk about are twitter-internal or are open-source. People love that kind of thing. "wow: twitter uses the gnu C compiler" type thing.

The company was moving off it. I wish I could find a twitter eng blog about it. Interesting there's a bunch of not directly from twitter sources about the decision though.

Over the summer, Yeah there is three but I didn't think the 3rd was really running yet. It was kind of just there with some small things dripping in.
