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:

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.”

https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-65772154

"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.
