MakefileProjects: current, planned and abandoned
Here I track pet projects and ideas so I don't forget them. I haven't touched many of them, but I still want to keep them here, because I might want to return to them later. Only three of them are currently active:
- DeMAX - reverse engineering and analysing the MAX messenger.
- Unnamed GIS project - finding a place by sketch or description. I tried the computational geometry methods, but it was too slow so now I'm working on adding a bit of machine learning and building a vector tile index.
- Unnamed ML project, maybe I'll call it "thatsaslop" - a person must guess an AI-generated content (text, images, etc) among the man-made ones and vice versa.
