What it does

An FAA exam is the most important a pilot will ever take, costing $1000+ and going on their permanent record. MockDPE makes verbal practice possible through an AI DPE (examiner) using a custom aircraft, live weather, and real world conditions. MockDPE provides regulatory citations, grades with 96.3% consistency, and is validated by flight instructors. After each exam, you'll receive a breakdown against the FAA ACS so you know what to study. Test your IFR knowledge for free at https://mockdpe.org

MockDPE runs your IFR oral like a real DPE — scenario-based questions, ACS task scoring, live weather, and CFII-validated accuracy. First full checkride free.

MockDPE pulls live METAR and TAF data from airports of your choice, then works the weather conditions into scenario-based exam questions. “You’ve got a 600-foot ceiling and two miles of visibility in mist at your destination. Talk me through whether you’re required to file an alternate.” Every answer is scored against the FAA Instrument ACS. After each session, you'll get an area-by-area debrief so you know exactly where to focus your study time. I’m Kevin, a flight instructor and backend developer by trade. I built MockDPE for a few reasons. First, I wish I had something like this when preparing for my own checkrides. “Back in my day” (haha I feel old), I was stuck with YouTube videos and…from mockdpe.org

    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.…

    Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
