A personal project to make phone calls easier for an elderly, non English-speaking parent that works entirely offline, and the long road through Whisper models, sherpa-onnx, frame-size crashes, and Android's scoped storage pitfalls before it finally worked with zipformer. 12 min read · Android · AI models · Bengali · ASR · On-device AI I wanted to build a simple tool for my elderly, non-English-speaking mother: an Android voice dialer that would let her say a Bengali nickname—like "মিলি" ...

Hello everyone, I wanted to share a project I started in 2025 to solve something that kept getting on my nerves in my own homelab. Every time I deployed another container, I found myself back in the Cloudflare dashboard. Add a hostname, point it at the service, configure Access, and remember to clean things up when I stopped using it. Nothing particularly difficult. Just the same work, again and again. Everything else about the service was already in my Docker Compose file. Having it...

Every time I started a new Angular mobile app, I found myself rebuilding the same foundation: Authentication Refresh tokens Secure storage Offline handling Push notifications Biometrics Translations RTL support Dark mode API integration Eventually, I decided to turn that repeated setup into a reusable starter. That became LaunchKit Mobile , an Angular 22 + Ionic + Capacitor starter designed to provide the production plumbing before you start building the actual bu...

In Post 3, the behavioral difference tracked the memory graph, not the substrate. When I swapped one individual's learned associations into an identical brain, the subject did not just get confused. It went below chance, scoring 0.17 on the six-cue, three-action task, actively steered toward another individual's answers. In an isolated sandbox that is a curiosity. In any real system where an agent's behavior is reinstated from an external, writable memory, it is a vulnerability. The structural i...

api, #security, #compliance, #discuss Last Tuesday I typed Sergei Ivanov into a sanctions screener and watched it explode. The API came back with 101 total matches : 50 from OFAC SDN, 1 from the UN Consolidated list, 50 from EU FSF, and zero from UK FCDO or BIS CSL. Threshold was 0.7. One common Russian name. A hundred and one alerts. I'd spent the previous week arguing that fuzzy logic was the only responsible way to catch sanctions evaders. They change spellings, swap transliteration...

When I entered the CANEX Create-Thon competition, I quickly realized I wasn't just competing against other creators but rather I was also competing against bad UX. The Gebeya platform requires users to complete a full email sign-in just to cast their vote. For organic traffic, that level of friction means a 90% drop-off rate. Instead of begging for votes, I decided to engineer a bypassing channel. I've detailed below how I built the zero-cost automated funnel using a code-first architectu...

This is being thrown around a lot, including the dreaded "10% chance by the end of this decade". Every conversation I have seen about this, mostly on twitter, not once have I seen anyone connecting the dots on concretely and plausibly how this might pan out. It is usually 1. Train powerful AI 2. ??? 3. Extinction I personally find it implausible, but some quite smart people have talked about it so I am also not dismissing it as pure fear-mongering. The reasons I do not think it is plausible: 1...
