This is slick! I love the colors and just the smoothness of all the animations upon scroll. I especially dig how everything gets typed out letter by letter upon movement... it really shows off that smoothness! 😎

By the way, great tagline here:

I bring value to web development projects by merging technical expertise with creativity and aesthetics.

OOooo right on! This is good stuff, Salika. It's cool to really think about how we understand something... I'm assuming you're drilling into this because you're trying to think about how AI will similarly read and understand research papers to sum them up for us and act on that info in different ways right?

Collapse

Salika Dave

Thanks Michael!

Yes, that is something I was definitely thinking about! But it feels good because your thoughts here validate the need for this idea for improving the current performance of GPTs on research paper summarizations specifically. For example, when I used Humata or ChatGPT for instance, it is able to better extract details when given a smaller set of tokens versus and an entire five page whitepaper. Maybe if we used the three-pass approach in feeding information to GPT, would we get better results? Time to find out! 💫

My win is that I made a JavaScript library that I'm actually proud of. It's for registering swipe events and other touch events on elements. It's been a while since I feel like I've actually contributed something meaningful to open source software. So this feels good. Would love feedback.

I've knocked out finally a bunch of tickets about creating some contentful migration entities and creating some serializers and transformers to consume the information from a proxy with a JSO API format response. Contentful tools in NodeJS is a wild beast since the documentation is not good and actually, the tools are not adapted to javascript 100% so it's common to apply some extra work to write good code.

Thanks, it feels great to write this in some place!
