Pantograph: A Fluid and Typed Structure Editor

Pantograph is a revolutionary structured code editor that operates directly on a typed syntax tree, unlike traditional editors that parse text and then typecheck. By introducing the concept of tree selection and "zipper editing," Pantograph simplifies editing existing programs, allowing programmers to make complex code modifications more easily while maintaining type safety. It cleverly handles type diffs and allows for the existence of some errors in the program, facilitating gradual debugging. Pantograph's design is language-generic, enabling developers to define new editors based on its framework.

Three.js Dynamic LOD: A Nanite-Inspired Approach

This project attempts to reproduce a dynamic LOD system in Three.js, similar to Unreal Engine 5's Nanite. It starts by clustering a mesh into meshlets, grouping adjacent meshlets, merging them (shared vertices), simplifying the mesh using meshoptimizer (halving triangles, max 128), and finally splitting it (currently into 2, aiming for N/2). The project is early-stage; future work includes improving LODs, DAG cuts, and streaming geometry to the GPU. Research includes Nanite, multiresolution structures, and batched multi-triangulations.

TRRE: Transductive Regular Expressions – Beyond Classic Regex

TRRE is a prototype extension of regular expressions designed for more intuitive text editing and pattern matching. Unlike traditional regex, TRRE uses the `:` symbol to define transformations, simplifying text replacement, insertion, and deletion. It provides a `grep`-like command-line tool for efficient text manipulation tasks like word substitution, character insertion/deletion, and even simple encryption/decryption. While still a prototype, TRRE shows promise, especially for complex tasks where its performance can even surpass `sed` in certain scenarios.

AI Agent Learns to Use Computers Like a Human

The r1-computer-use project aims to train an AI agent to interact with a computer like a human, encompassing file systems, web browsers, and command lines. Inspired by DeepSeek-R1's reinforcement learning techniques, it eschews traditional hard-coded verifiers in favor of a neural reward model to evaluate the correctness and helpfulness of the agent's actions. The training pipeline involves multiple stages, from expert demonstrations to reward-model-guided policy optimization and fine-tuning, ultimately aiming for a safe and reliable AI agent capable of complex tasks.

Heap Explorer: A Powerful Glibc Heap Debugger

`explore_heap` is a glibc heap debugger loaded via `LD_PRELOAD` that allows interactive inspection and manipulation of a program's heap memory. By loading `libheap_explorer.so` and interrupting the program with a SIGINT signal (Ctrl+C), users enter a REPL to allocate, free chunks, and print freelists, tcache, fastbin, and bin lists, aiding in debugging memory-related issues. Currently tested on Arch Linux's glibc 2.41+, adaptation for other modern glibc versions requires adjusting constants.

A Java JIT Compiler and Runtime in Common Lisp: OpenLDK

OpenLDK is a Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler and runtime environment for Java, implemented entirely in Common Lisp. It bridges the gap between Java and Common Lisp by incrementally translating Java bytecode into Lisp, then compiling it into native machine code. This unique approach allows seamless mapping of Java classes to Common Lisp Object System (CLOS) classes, enabling effortless integration between Java and Common Lisp codebases. While not designed for high performance, OpenLDK offers a practical solution for integrating Java libraries into a Lisp workflow. Currently, it primarily supports Linux and SBCL, and is a work in progress with many features yet to be implemented, such as support for class files beyond Java 8 and bytecode verification.
