Ha Ja Ba Ra La

Last week I have started at Indium1.

💡 Update: Releasing knotty - bunch of Terraform and Bun scripts which help me deploy and manage the self-hosted Knot server in a Hetzner VM https://tangled.org/kaushikc.org/knotty I have talked about my affection for AT Protocol (ATProto) in the past.

Large language models are non-deterministic constructs that respond to ambiguous English prose.

Unison's got FFI recently.

This is a sequel to my earlier post on parsing HTML in Unison: html-parse - HTML parser in Unison html-parse now has a second interpreter for the same parseHtmlText pipeline.

I got them (gender neutral singular) their food for thought, packed their skills, and well prompted them away.

A few days back, I got interested in building an RSS reader on top of AT Protocol View post on Bluesky Reading RSS feeds means reading HTML content (mostly) syndicated from websites.

I released, datastar-unison - my take on an Unison SDK to simplify generating Datastar-specific SSE events.

I learned about Datastar through this podcast last year, and after reviewing the docs, I got excited about its interesting SSE support.

Is existence some part acceptance & rest repentance?

This year I lost my mother.

Here are the remaining 5 days' solution write-ups.

After weeks of (re)implementation, fixing memory leaks with the help of the fantastic Unison team, and ensuring stability for a week, I made the atproto-experiments project public.

To celebrate the release of 1.0 of Unison, I am excited to share the app that I have been developing for the past few weeks - atproto-experiments Unison Programming Language, along with its Cloud platform, is unique in many aspects.

Quite uneventful week.

The highlight of the week was my first KIFF.

Being (semi)retired comes with many perks, the best of which is peaceful sleep at night.

Manu Joseph is my current favourite satirist.

Most of the week went to working on the ATProto-based bridge/sync daemon/service with Unison.

Spent the whole week at my in-laws' place in Siliguri.
