Skyline: an agent-based human simulation software to optimize cities as they scale.
This weekend
@UCBerkeley
, we built a way to help cities grow with and optimize for the people that inhabit them.

At Stanford this weekend, we built Nexus: a graph visualization software that helps you discover meaningful relationships at events
We scraped Slack data to extract interests and backgrounds, then using NLP to find similarities!
a personal search engine that learns with you.
maintain relationships, revisit that paper you skimmed through, find context in large pdfs & search through footage!
v0 is working better than expected :)

lol didn’t expect this many people to see this: these fields aren’t dying, just showing how startups that generalize will fail. huge believer in companies using openai architecture to provide NICHE use cases; a lot of companies just got created from this announcement
a few life updates:
- turned 19 today!
- interning
@hitachi
, train automation & signalling for nyc railroads
- working on end-to-end visual reasoning for humanoids
- will be open sourcing a lot of ML/AI experiments in the next few months
dm me! would love to connect :)
i challenged myself to build an audio embeddings model on my flight to sf! just me, tensorflow and the clouds
audio2vec: audio embeddings for verbal sentiment in 256 dims, using spectrograms from raw waveforms
i love
@hume_ai
& wanted to try to build it myself, will oss soon!

Our first case study, Skyline, shares our approach to RL & agent-based transit optimization.

in a couple weeks, i built a nuclear fusor in my bedroom – with zero hardware experience
the secret? Claude sonnet 3.5 + projects
a glimpse into the process below
We built a startup from scratch with AI Agents!
By giving agents access to Slack and custom tools using
@replicate
,
@cohere
and
@v0
, our simulation did market research, created branding, posted a job on LinkedIn and built a full-stack app!
Read below to learn how it works.
250 makers met up at Socratica Symposium last night in Waterloo
i demoed portal: a wearable ai prototype to relive memories in the most immersive way possible
we are so back
Just won Canada’s largest hackathon!
Using first person POV footage on a live webcam, we built a way to semantically go through your memories, with just a question.
We processed audio & video with
@OpenAI
Whisper/CLIP & searched fragments with
@cohere
embeddings/summarization!

wrapped up my internship
@Hitachi
!
worked on train safety and simulation software for the nyc railroads — also prototyped RL models for energy optimization. amazing 4 months
now, to 2A software eng
@UWaterloo

updates: working with AI simulations with frequency testing to optimize building designs for earthquake resistance, while remaining cost-efficient

Shapeshift: optimizing the construction of earthquake resistant buildings using Fourier transforms, attention/LSTMs, policy analysis & tectonic simulations.
Thank you so much
@CalHacks
for the incredible opportunity to on stage as finalists & have dinner with
@karpathy
— a truly special weekend
watch our finalists pitch:
after pivoting our idea 5+ times
@HackTheNorth
, our team hacked together Connex: helping materialize & fund public research💡
this was an unforgettable weekend—from the first step on campus to being a finalist on stage!
Shapeshift just took a giant leap forwards 🌎
Explore risk assessment, building codes, seismic frequency testing, tectonic simulations, and multilingual permit search – all within 30 seconds.
Here's my toy for

s4. Next week goal: gtfol.
I use voice to voice every day when I’m walking the dog, driving or building new projects. It’s like having a podcast that you can talk to about literally anything — I highly recommend it over traditional podcasts or music when you are free
Very excited for Monday
gpt-4 has taken over twitter. take a breather & learn some new math:
4k lines of ML & 2 new algorithms later, I've identified a novel Fourier interpretation of seismic decay with 3D frequencies — with incredible potential to design affordable earthquake-resistant structures.
quick life update!
leaving sf to move to toronto and starting an internship at
@cohere
! my gap term in sf has been so delightful and i was lucky enough to be surrounded by the best people.
thank you for everything, but the waterloo-toronto corridor is gonna be a movie
I have an update for those trying out Neuralink's compression challenge. I put some effort into calculating the legit theoretical max compression possible and.... tada it's 3.439
We ran 500 agents in parallel using census data to represent and model their interactions. We used chain of thought reasoning to model their movement
We use these patterns to optimize Los Angeles transit to maximize mobility at the lowest possible carbon cost using our own PPO!

We scraped Slack data to extract interests and backgrounds, then using NLP to find similarities!
just walked through the engineering behind our self driving delivery tank on the OpenCV livestream!
watch how computer vision and hardware hacks powered our mini cybertruck 🏎️
building designs won't suffice.
Shapeshift is growing beyond theory, using math + ai to solve core due diligence barriers in earthquake-resistant buildings.
for the dreamers 💛

Sohu is >10x faster and cheaper than even NVIDIA’s next-generation Blackwell (B200) GPUs.
One Sohu server runs over 500,000 Llama 70B tokens per second, 20x more than an H100 server (23,000 tokens/sec), and 10x more than a B200 server (~45,000 tokens/sec).

@marie_bbb
i'm one week into my first coop and i honestly don't mind, learning a lot hands-on for stuff i've been wanting to learn anyways (ie firmware). might change down the road though
still finding lots of time to touch grass lol
as the unemployed friend on a monday afternoon, i spent the past two months building a TPU without any prerequisite knowledge in digital logic, ASIC design, or verilog.
here are my coolest unlocks so far:
