It's a simple "business card" page built with Angular and 98.css.
Been thinking of upgrading to plain vanilla js, xp.css and maybe some static site generation or CMS thingy for blog posts
Loved the idea!

Only actual update I do is to change my title / company when I change jobs, otherwise it's just a landing page to link to my GH, LinkedIn, etc. No blogs or anything exciting.
When AWS released the S3 Vectors last year, I wanted to try it since I had no experience with Vector DBs, so I built a simple audioguide app to play around with it.
Basically, just use it to identify artworks from a photo, then return a pre-generated AI-Audio for that artwork based on the data on their site. I put up a basic live version on my site for The National Gallery in London: https://victorsantiago.me/audioguide/national_gallery.html
(If you want to try it, you can open it on your phone and take a picture of some painting on the National Gallery Website, e.g.: https://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/paintings/vincent-van-gog... )
It was pretty fun to try it out and play with different LLMs and TTS models to generate the output. Might make a it a proper web app some time soon!

I worked with IBMers. The main priority for a lot of them is to ensure continuous employment for themselves and their buddies. They'd add unnecessary complexity to a product to stretch out the development for another couple of years. And they work at leisure pace for tech. Actual 9 to 5, many coffee breaks. They can't compete.
The way you put it, looks like IBM is a pretty good place to work at

I wonder how many of us learned how to program on the PSP. It's crazy to think how transformative this was for my life in the long run. It's also the same reason why I know Lua but went straight to C++ after that.
I wish I could bottle up the magic that was the PSP homebrew scene and give it to kids today. I'm guessing Minecraft mods are the closest modern version.
The homebrew scene still exists today, just moved consoles.
I was just playing around with the Xbox Dev Mode this weekend and trying out different emulators.
Yes, but I think overall it’s a healthy situation to be in. The Nvidia part is whatever. The fact this tech is becoming g democratized is good.

The issue is that it's only democratized if you have the money.

Absolutely not the impression I got when I lived there.
But what I’d like to understand is why there are so many of the same thing. I know I’ve seen this exact idea multiple times on HN. It’s funny the first time, but once it’s done once and the novelty is gone (which is almost immediately), what’s the point of another and another and another?
URL Shortener is still one of the most popular System Design questions, building this project is a great way to have some experience / understanding of it, for example.
