Converted my Graphics Research list to a starter pack (not sure what's the difference though). Let me know who we are missing here :)

Managed to get a library I wrote compiled and running on Windows 11 ARM64. Microsoft discourages installing Visual Studio 2022 + Build Tools with a dismissible popup that says ARM64 isn't supported, but otherwise Visual Studio, C++ apps, and Rust work fine.

I was in High Performance Graphics 2024 in Denver, CO last weekend and the experience was inspiring. Seeing distinguished speakers share impressive papers and posters such as H-PLOC, DGF, and neural denoisers with such depth of knowledge made the trip worth it. gpuopen.com/advanced-ren...

Was replacing my Fender FV-1's output jack/knobs with KAISH components, love that an instrument from 1990 still kicks butt today.

Repaired my Mesa Boogie amp head's 8 ohm output. Mouser has so many parts, was able to find a replacement for the exact component that failed! mou.sr/4dmWsBd

I'm absolutely loving Obsidian as a note taking tool. It's just locally running markdown, nothing crazy, presented in a clear, concise, and well formatted manner like Norton. obsidian.md

In an attempt to speed up and automate publishing to Facebook/X/Mastodon/Threads/Bluesky/whatever, I've been working on making my site compliant with the activitystream 2.0 spec. Indieweb is a big inspiration: aaronparecki.com/2012/09/09/6...

As much as I've been afraid to try it, I've been delving into the quantified self in the form of tracking my sleep (thanks Samsung Health), app usage, website usage, and work schedule to better squeeze out more time out of the day. It's been enlightening and easy to do.

At the start of college, I would use text-to-speech android apps to read books and PDFs while doing chores or traveling.

I was experimenting with Phi-3, the small language model open sourced by Microsoft that uses ONNX and DirectML as the runtime for the model, and found it useful for performing 'image editor' like operations on text, letting us communicate our intent more precisely. onnxruntime.ai/blogs/accele...
ONNX Runtime supports Phi-3 mini models across platforms and devices
Thanks to day one ONNX Runtime and DirectML support, developers can now deploy Phi-3 Mini at scale
