Interactive map of the Odyssey with tap-to-gloss Homeric Greek

Built an interactive atlas of Odysseus's voyage. See where the stops fall in today's world, with etymological and knowledge nuggets. 17 stops from Troy to Ithaca. Every stop has Homer's actual Greek (Perseus TEI), Murray's 1919 translation, and every single Greek word is tappable for a translation. Press N and the ancient chart swaps to today's satellite view: these are real places (e.g. Scylla refers to a town called Scilla in Calabria). Stack: SvelteKit static + MapLibre, no backend, all public-domain texts and art with a full colophon. Please leave corrections and feedback!

What it does

Sail Odysseus

The war is won, the city burned. Twelve ships point west toward a home ten years away. “Tell me, O Muse, of the man of many devices, who wandered full many ways after he had sacked the sacred citadel of Troy. Many were the men whose cities he saw and whose mind he learned, aye, and many the woes he suffered in his heart upon the sea, seeking to win his own life and the return of hisfrom georgemasto.com

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
