Projects
- SHSAT testers and offers — a clean, reproducible dataset on NYC specialized high school admissions, from NYC OpenData.
- NY hospital cost reports — who pays New York hospitals, and how NYC Health + Hospitals differs from the private systems. Chartbook, slides.
- Tutor terminal — a cheap, CLI-first tutoring machine: a local model, a subject file, and a terminal.
- MyGica A681 on Linux — getting a USB ATSC tuner working on Arch with LordLuktor's out-of-tree driver; channel maps for the New York market.
- Hardware HEVC decode for Moonlight on the Pi 5 — the 1080p ceiling was a statically linked ffmpeg, not the board. Rebuild against system ffmpeg and get 1440p120 at 9% of one core.
- Home TV stack — over-the-air television on a Raspberry Pi: Tvheadend, Jellyfin, Kodi, two tuners.
- Bangla — vocabulary trainer for the 100 most common Bengali words.
