Homer's Odyssey Tree Viewer
I asked Codex 5.6 Sol Medium to one-shot a tree-view version of The Odyssey because I wanted to familiarize myself with it before I see the film. Think of it as an interactive Cliffs Notes where you can stay high level or drill down to the source text. I used Gemma-4-26B-A4B locally to do the summarization. Codex wrote the scripts, HTML tree viewer, and babysat the summarization pipeline. Each of the Odyssey's 24 books is distilled into a paragraph. When you click a paragraph, each paragraph of the source has been distilled to one sentence. Tapping any one sentence shows you the source…

In the maker’s words, at launch
I asked Codex 5.6 Sol Medium to one-shot a tree-view version of The Odyssey because I wanted to familiarize myself with it before I see the film. Think of it as an interactive Cliffs Notes where you can stay high level or drill down to the source text. I used Gemma-4-26B-A4B locally to do the summarization. Codex wrote the scripts, HTML tree viewer, and babysat the summarization pipeline. Each of the Odyssey's 24 books is distilled into a paragraph. When you click a paragraph, each paragraph of the source has been distilled to one sentence. Tapping any one sentence shows you the source paragraph. The summarization prompt asked Gemma to preserve the source style or tone, so the summaries read pretty well in context with the book.

A new way to read books, magnifying in and out17d ago · book.curiora.space · ▲7After watching The Odyssey, I thought it would be cool to check out some scenes from the source in detail, but I don't have time to read the whole book. So I came up with a sort of zoom/microscope, that allows to see the whole book at a glance and then zoom in (by pinching) on the part I'm interested in. I can do so down to the actual source text and get the authentic feel the author intended, at the same time I better understand where am I in the text and also the character and places are clickable so I can quickly orient myself on the context. Moreover each character has relationships…

I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…
