I wonder what proportion of the training tokens come from scanned books versus the Internet at the frontier training shops.

Projects

Orange Wordsorangewords.comOrange Words is a hacker news search application. It's a small hobby project, where I tinker with the combination of hacker news data, search, rag, and machine learning. (Dec 2023 - today)

minimal-agent-coregithub.com/codycollier/minimal-agent-coreThis is an illustration of the inner core of a function calling agent. It is a simple agent which can hold a conversation and provide a random color and/or number.

NTX ARTnorthtexas.artA hub for the North Texas Arts community. I leverage automation and LLMs to gather and process event data from various sites. It also automatically generates social media cards and captions for posting to Instagram as reminders for local artists.

telnet.orgtelnet.org/historySomewhere around 1998, I stumbled on the expired telnet.org domain and was able to register it. I had nothing to do with the development of telnet, but this was an exciting era when I was learning Linux and related tech. Telnet was still in common use as server and client software. I've run the site and hosted shell accounts ever since, mostly out of nostalgia. (~1998 - today)

The Garza Postgarzapost.comFor a time, with amazing partners, I helped run a local, digital newspaper for Post, Texas and Garza County. The site was built on Django and related tech. It is now preserved as a basic html archive. (Summer 2011 through Winter 2012)
