This is really cool! Really give a immersion vibe.
I've built something different, Tokyo Train Orchestra (http://tokyo-train-orchestra.netlify.app/) It uses live and scheduled tokyo train/subway timetable to produce music.

I don't like claude code web due to its lack of planning mode. I found the result is often lackluster compare to claude code cli.
My current setup: Tailscale + Terminus(ipad) + home machine(code base)
Need to look into how to work on multiple features at the same time next.

I'm building a information hub that utilize AI agents to compile all the relevant information from China (gov, econ, commerce, anything and everything). I call it "information domination". Heard many times that language barrier stops people having a better understanding of China. Now the LLM translation is good enough, and AI agents can do way more in information gathering stage. It's time to put things in practice.
For now, it only has a daily newsletter fully compiled by AI agents without any human intervention. I plan to add public listed companies (semiconductor, energy provider, etc) onto the platform. Already found lots of good data points that can be used by analysts, researchers or observers.

Re:PDF to Text, a Challenging Problem
on Tuesday May 13, 2025 @04:00PM (#43977047)
Recently tested a (non-english) pdf ocr with Gemini 2.5 Pro.
First, directly ask it to extract text from pdf. Result: random text blob, not useable.
Second, I converted pdf into pages of jpg. Gemini performed exceptional. Near perfect text extraction with intact format in markdown.
Maybe there's internal difference when processing pdf vs jpg inside the model.

Japan Top 100 (restaurants) app
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/japan-top-100/id6741251616
Only public on iOS store for now, due to Google requires larger # of testers to authenticate the app.
This app idea came from my last Japan trip. I had a hard time finding good local restaurants (not tourist traps). So I decided to build this app with Japanese-oriented lists, due to lists' lacked of maps, etc. The app actually helped me discover some great spots, since it lists places all over Japan. Please give it a try and let me know if you have any feature requests or ideas.

Re:Building Effective "Agents"

Claude api lacks structured output, without uniformity in output, it's not useful as agent. I've had agents system broke down suddenly due to degradation in output, which leads to the previous suggested json output hacks (from official cookbook) stopped working.

Re:Should you use Rust in LLM based tools for performance?
on Tuesday October 01, 2024 @01:43PM (#41711679)
Langchain and other frameworks are too bloated, it's good for demo, but highly recommend to build your own pipeline in production, it's not really that complicated, and you can have much better control over implementation. Plus you don't need 99% packages that comes with Langchain, reduce security vulnerabilities.
I've written a series of RAG notebooks on how to implement RAG in python directly, with minimal packages. I know it's not in Rust or C++, but it can give you some ideas on how to do things directly.

In my previous position, management employed the concept of a 'hackathon competition' as a sales pitch to the judges. One team, having received advance instruction, constructed their work in progress as a hackathon demo in advance and ultimately "won". It pissed so many people once it was known.
