I just submit things I find interesting and occasionally other people find it interesting too. Usually opposite to what I expected.

Not OP but I believe it’s Fugu (7B). According to [0]: “Fugu itself is a trained coordinator LLM.”

A web app (PWA) for logging tinnitus episodes - Mimi Memo: https://mimimemo.com/

Developed for my personal use but publicly available and open source. I’m pretty happy with the current state so don’t expect a lot of updates and features, but hopefully others might find it helpful.

Not quite.

- The 43% is peak drag reduction in the transition zone only, the bit between laminar and turbulent flow, not across all flight conditions.

- Aerodynamic drag is one part of fuel burn, not a 1:1 proxy. There's also engine efficiency, etc.

- This is skin friction drag on a wind tunnel model, not a full aircraft which has extra bits like windscreen wipers.

I still think it's exciting but I reckon fuel savings would amount to a few percent (aeronautical engineers, please correct me if I'm wrong).

Ménière Memo, a web app for logging and reviewing Ménière's Disease episodes:

https://menierememo.com/

Intended for an audience of one so still a bit rough around the edges, but the intended audience said “excellent” and is actually using it.

Mostly AI-built. Source code is here:

> Data centers can inadvertently pollute water through chemical runoff from evaporative cooling systems, including biocides, corrosion inhibitors, and heavy metals that accumulate at scale when facilities discharge up to 5 million gallons daily.

The knot codes are beautiful but the ones in the article all seem to be repeating patterns, so I wonder if you could take a 60° slice of each one and save space without losing information.

Nicely put-together collection of tools - thanks for sharing.

Would be helpful if more input boxes could use relevant types (e.g. “number”, “url”, etc.) so the dedicated keyboard appears on mobile.

"Healthline.com provided an opt-out mechanism, but it was misconfigured and Healthline failed to test it, resulting in data being shared with third parties even after consumers elected to opt out.”

"The company agreed to pay the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) after it was accused of failing to delete Alexa recordings at the request of parents.”

https://www.mediapost.com/publications/article/405635/califo...

"According to the [California Privacy Protection] agency, Todd Snyder told website visitors they could opt out of data sharing, but didn't actually allow them to do so for 40 days in late 2023 because its opt-out mechanism was improperly configured."

Very cool. Can I ask what marketing you do? Seems like it would be popular once people know about it, but that first step to building awareness must be tough.
