Been building a research and studying browser extension called Onhand.

Annoyed about how chatbots take you away from the source and give you direct answers without a "why" that's rooted in your material.

Onhand's answers come right from the tabs you have open. It highlights the most relevant sections of sites and adds explanatory notes directly to the page. Its general response has Wikipedia-style citations that take you to corresponding page highlights/notes.

Lots still to improve. Wanna make it a better tool for learning, using pedagogical concepts (learning to learn).

I have finally performed my first server CPU upgrade! I swapped out the old Xeon E5-2609 V2 CPUs from my PowerEdge R720XD for some Xeon E5-2690 V2 CPUs I had in a PowerEdge R620 I’m planning on selling. Now my NAS has 4x the thread count and can turbo significantly faster!

now that paint a street is over, here's the script i ended up using to help balance all the purdue hackers people!

uses a few simple rules to ensure hazel and her friend are together, then walks over our row and ensures we don't have any interlopers, and then maintains a buffer. also has a voting queue that cycles through ~60 sessions so we don't hit ratelimits and maintains a virtual representation of the board with optimistic updates for perf

created an oxlint plugin that ports over some rules from rust clippy to typescript! this includes rules to manage code complexity, correctness, and even pedantic style checks!

under the hood it uses the oxc-parser library so that getting an ast is extremely fast. the rules are ported over from the rust codebase and tweaked slightly to match more of typescript's syntax and oddities.

you can install it (along with oxlint) using:

bun add oxlint oxclippy
bunx oxlint --init
bunx oxclippy init recommended

which will add the required dependencies, create a .oxlintrc.json file, and add the oxclippy rules to the config! after that, running it is as simple as

bunx oxlint

and your codebase will get clippy lints! :)

just shipped duralang — one decorator makes your LangChain agents indestructible

the first durability layer built specifically for stochastic AI systems. the LLM decides everything at runtime — duralang just makes sure whatever it decides cannot fail permanently.

every LLM call, tool call, and agent call becomes a Temporal Activity automatically. retry on failure, resume on crash, free observability built in.

already got love from an engineer at Temporal 🙌

i wrote a cli tool to brute force through claude pet combinations! (for the unreleased pets feature, dropping tomorrow)

tl;dr claude uses a seeded a mulberry32 pseudo-random number generator to roll all the "bones" of the pet based off a salt and the user's oauth uuid. the algorithm was leaked in the claude code sourcemaps drop, so i extracted it, cleaned it up, and got it to run via bun. the tool will spawn multiple worker threads based on how many cpu cores you have available and hammer through possible combinations until it fines matching sets.

hopefully the logic doesn't change too much ahead of tomorrow, but fun exercise in extraction :)

I finished updating my website to use typst html export! https://rovnyak.net/ Some things that I had to do to make it work...

  • I was already using typst for the site but was using pandoc which doesn't implement typst quite properly, so the first thing was to switch that out.
  • I was using pandoc's builtin HTML templating functionality so I switched to using tera
  • I was using quick-xml for postprocessing the HTML output, however xml is slightly different from html, and typst outputs html that isn't xml, so I had to switch to dom_query
  • Typst's syntax highlighting sucks, however the helix editor publishes a crate that encapsulates its syntax highlighting functionality! Super lucky; I now detect all code blocks, re-parse them using tree sitter, and use that for syntax highlighting
  • I also made a handful of changes that improve the design like making the topbar sticky and showing all of the hashtag symbols to link to a header instead of hiding them by default

shipping along with this, i shipped privacy options for purdue hackers! similar to the privacy features introduced in commit overflow, this allows folks to opt out of data collection, so you have a choice in how your data is collected and shared :)

you can change your privacy settings using the /privacy command, configuring global and per-app settings :)

people who opted out of public sharing during commit overflow have been grandfathered into the new system as well o7

built an api to query for purdue hackers information from our documentation in notion! this uses the notion-fs library i built above + agentfs (on turso) + just-bash. this approach is much better than RAG because most frontier models have been rl'd on coding environments and bash enough to be able to navigate a filesystem and use tools with better accuracy than embedding models can accurately retrieve data. this was mostly an experiment just to see if its possible to build something like this, pleased it works as well as it does :)

i'll integrate it into my next project (public-facing docs mirror from our notion) so folks can try it out!

i played my first venue last night! this was my first time playing on a cdj and there were a bunch of surprises. when i got on stage i discovered the mixer wasn't the one i expected and i couldn't use my headphones with it, and also the cue button on the right cdj had broken. so i was mixing based on what i heard from the audience speakers and had to improvise around not being to use the cue button half the time, which my set makes heavy use of.

unfortunately because of all this i am not proud of the end result. i worked around the cue button issue mostly well but i made a bunch of mistakes from not being able to hear the output properly - for example i didn't notice the echo effect lasted longer than 1 beat and it made all the parts with that effect sound terrible. there's a part where i had reverb on for like 30 seconds and it made one of the transitions a lot worse. and some other small timing and mix volume mistakes.

i uploaded a dry run that i ran on my controller last week that i feel went a lot better: https://soundcloud-og.com/hewillyeah/itp-and-friends-dry-run-02-23-2026

but i also uploaded the real thing anyway because even though i'm not personally proud of the end result, i still had a great time and people loved the performance, so i'm still proud of this set! i'm especially proud that i broke new ground. link to that in the thread

finally got around to shipping new website! we're going straight from v8 -> v10

my original motivation to make a new website was to simplify it dramatically so i can get in the 100kb club and also refresh my visual style. i made a website v9 that i was sharing around, but i wasn't really satisfied with how it looked. it also didn't really have any unique flavor that made it mine.

i decided to start from scratch and finally ditch astro, which atp i'd been using for the past 4-5 generations of my website. i wanted to do something that involved http/3 so i decided to write a go server. originally i was going to implement the http/3 spec by hand but then i decided that wasn't worth the trouble lol. but i did end up adding some really neat features though:

  • intelligently stream content (not markup) character-by-character for a typewriter-y effect
  • implemented a custom parser for my own typewriter markup, where i added common mark link support, custom [stream:char-speed], clip, and [pause:ms] tags, and passthrough html
  • render osc8 compliant terminal markup so links render in the terminal when curl-ed
  • custom ci/cd for handling resource management and deployment

there's more stuff too that's cool, you can check out the repo to see it :)

(also, website is now 20.75kb and 55% of the codebase is HCL and 33% is go tehe)

Ray Ray 9w ago

built the first iteration of a "smart" and "highly-capable" agentic system that we can use for operations at purdue hackers :)

i took inspiration from linear's slack bot which you can ping anywhere, and somehow magically has enough context to understand what you want to do and can take actions across your linear workspace. i reverse-engineered how it works and they made some very interesting technical decisions, especially with their concept of progressively-disclosed "skill bundles".

i don't know how linear's slack bot is implemented so i did my best to implement what i felt was a good system based off my learnings. using the vercel ai sdk v6 i was able to build an orchestrator agent and subagents that have access to our notion and linear workspaces, and give them tools which they can progressively disclose via a load_skill tool which only loads the relevant tools and specific guidance for using them when requested. this allows me to not blow a hole in my context windows and also allow for a highly flexible agent. the agent can also take multiple steps to reason and complete tasks, allowing for highly complex actions.

im especially proud of how minimal and extensible the repo is. you can define tools easily using the ai sdk tool function, define skill bundles easily as markdown, and wire them all together using minimal logic in a ToolCallLoop agent :)

what can this do now you may be asking? well:

  • it can create new linear issues with a simple @mention
  • it can tell me what linear issues are assigned to me related to a specific topic
  • it can read any notion doc in our workspace, and once evergreen is ported over, give accurate purdue hackers knowledge
  • it can allow us to easily update any notion doc (i wrote a custom codec to translate between markdown <> notion's blocks)
  • practically anything any human can do in linear or notion

super exciting, i'll be hooking up more tools to this system (discord, sentry, and perhaps opencode). it's infinitely extensible and so much more can be done :)

i created a new feature in wack hacker which allows folks to record meetings by running /start-meeting! wack hacker will join the voice channel you're in and listen to all the audio. it will start streaming the meeting transcript live into a thread in the channel you start a meeting in using the elevenlabs speech to text realtime api!

once a meeting is over (either when everyone leaves or via /leave-meeting) it will clear the thread, summarize the meeting contents, and then output a finalized transcript which is higher quality and has speaker attributions :)

Just published the Commit Overflow blog post written by unknown-user, unknown-user, and myself https://blog.purduehackers.com/posts/commit-overflow-2025

xendergo xendergo 10w ago

unknown-user discovered a bug in my interpreter code for the robot that has been there for eight months which is before our robot even existed and when our code was for the world record breaking robot. Here's the diff that introduced the bug... https://github.com/qter-project/qter/commit/1352669a3263b8a9fdc7385f7c83983f023b2d15#diff-7b0fbdf9af68ca506b478679c09cdedf88cfb7d4525fb850cacc90893f1d5acbR224-R231

The bug is that halt is actually not equivalent to repeat until because repeat until effectively counts up, while halt counts down, which means our robot was literally doing instructions backwards. Here's the very silly sequence of factors that led us to not discovering this until literally today...

  1. This was written at a time before my compiler was even able to emit repeat-until instructions, so was effectively untested during the early part of the bug's life.
  2. There's actually a fairly large class of programs where counting up is actually entirely equivalent to counting down; only our fibonacci program isn't one of those; so that would have made it harder to find
  3. My own visualizer code actually bypassed this code path by manually re-implementing the halt and repeat-until instructions so that the visualizer would be able to show the halt instruction calculating the output

Since Daniel is writing a new visualizer that actually uses that code path, that code was probably executed for the very first time today. I think this is really funny which is why I'm putting it in ship.

Anyways, here's the fix qter-project/qter5325dd7

I participated in InnovateHer, a 24-hour hackathon over the weekend alongside my team (who are not in this server.)

It's a barbie-themed programming environment.

Update: we won second place.

qter-project/qter3bf18d6 Rhai macros work in the qter compiler!!!! Essentially this means that we can now do inline metaprogramming in QAT using a real programming language. In particular, our subtraction operation is implemented as a rhai macro, meaning that we can now compile and run our fibonacci program!

⁨``` .registers { A, B, C, D <- 3x3 builtin (30, 18, 10, 9) }

.macro fib-shuffle { ($R1:reg $R2:reg $R3:reg $counter:reg) => { dec $counter if solved $counter { halt "The number is" $R1 } while not-solved $R1 { dec $R1 inc $R2 inc $R3 } } }

input "Which Fibonacci number to calculate:" D if solved D { halt "The number is: 0" } inc B loop { fib-shuffle B A C D fib-shuffle A C B D fib-shuffle C B A D }

And then this is the definition of the `dec` macro, using rhai macros that work now:

.start-rhai fn subtract_order_relative(r1, n) { return [ "add", r1, (-n) % r1.order ]; } end-rhai

.macro sub { ($R:reg $N:int) => rhai subtract_order_relative($R, $N) }

.macro dec { ($R:reg) => sub $R 1 }

Finally shipped the Android helper app to create QR code labels for items in Homebox! You can check it out here: ericswpark/homebox-qrdroid Android development has changed a lot since I last worked on it circa 2018~2022, so I did try out the built-in Gemini integration in Android Studio and it worked quite well in finding me the syntax for Kotlin/Jetpack Compose/DataStore/Lifecycle things! Some nudges here and there but keeping the scope small really helped

i improved a few things about the purdue hackers website that were bothering me:

  • added a grid of images from various hack nights, workshops, and shows
  • added some emojis next to the "for students" list items
  • added a little blurb at the top explaining what purdue hackers is
  • made the links purple

i hope you don't mind, i just pushed to main. it's not perfect but it really needed a lot of these things

I switched from solid to react so I could ship faster (since there are more mature libraries in that ecosystem). FYI, this is all on the frontend; the DuckDB instance is running in WASM.

have you ever tried adding an outlook calendar url to your google calendar, only to find out it's broken! i got extra irritated by this, so i wrote some code to normalize outlook ics feeds and make them standard ics so google calendar and other tools can use it properly!

i spun up a cute website for it, so now you can also get fixed calendars :)

My own block cipher, which is hopefully more secure than AES (it probably isn't)

  • GF(2^32) finite field matrix multiplication diffusion
  • a pretty beefy (i think) key schedule
  • everything repeated for 40 rounds

qter-project/qvisqvis/src/puzzle_matching/mod.rsmain I created an algorithm that will be used as a subcomponent of the Qter computer vision system: it inputs, for each sticker, confidence levels that that sticker is each possible color, and then returns the member of the Rubik's cube group that maximizes the total confidence. It uses the Hungarian Algorithm (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian_algorithm) to do optimal matching between pieces and locations, slightly tweaked to allow it to give an iterator over all matchings in sorted order. Then, I perform that matching on the corner and edge pieces separately, merge the two iterators together, and return the first matching that's a valid Rubik's cube scramble. I think that this is really cool yeah

Oh, and this is all implemented generically over any twisty puzzle so anyone can reuse this for their megaminx solver or something idk
