I built a website that lets you read classic books as email newsletters

In plain words

Modern Serial delivers classic literature to readers through email newsletters, breaking books into serialized chapters for daily or weekly reading. The platform makes canonical works like those from the public domain accessible in a format that fits modern communication habits. It's designed for book enthusiasts who prefer reading in their inbox rather than traditional formats. The service launched in August 2023 and offers a straightforward way to engage with classic texts without requiring users to visit a separate website.

  LLMs can generate valid JSON 100% of the time▲854

  Outlines is a Python library that focuses on text generation with large language models. Brandon and I are not LLM experts and started the project a few months ago because we wanted to understand better how the generation process works. Our original background is probabilistic, relational and symbolic programming. Recently we came up with a fast way to generate text that matches a regex (https://blog.normalcomputing.ai/posts/2023-07-27-regex-guide...). The basic idea is simple: regular expressions have an equivalent Deterministic-Finite Automaton (DFA) representation. We…
