Epiktistes is my home in the Fediverse. It is an instance of Ktistec, a single-user ActivityPub server like Mastodon, but with fewer users and fewer commits. Here's my introduction (last updated early-2025).
I wrote a series of posts about optimizing the performance of the Ktistec server, its build time, and its executable size: part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, and part 5.
Some things I regularly write about, organized by hashtag:
I also wrote some #pointfreeverse.
commits #f087a58 to fc9069c add support for approved posts. approved posts appear in public threaded conversations, and allow authors to control what parts of a conversation are visible to anonymous visitors.
it's a nod toward the day when fediverse spammers show up. (lol "when"...)

I've been thinking about the impact of starting player order on winning strategy games. It seems like the kind of thing you'd want to design out of a game (or otherwise counterbalance). I came across an article that modeled the dice and card game Machi Koro and then used a DNN to play 10,000 games. In the process the author found that there was a significant bias in favor of the first two players (vs. the last two players).
I'm going to see if I can replicate the results using MXNet.cr.
My Covid-19 quarantine plan for the last 12 months was to write code every day. With a few exceptions, I pulled that off. The big pre-Covid plan was to write every day, but in traditional hacker fashion I first built some tools (Ktistec and kin).
The big project was Ktistec, of course, but early on I spent a lot of time on MXNet.cr, mostly on native MXNet bindings, but also on a Gluon compatible library. I also put a lot of time into Ishi, a project that sprang from my desire to visualize MXNet output inside of my iTerm console.
Now, to do some writing...
