First author here. I have no experience in astronomy, yet facilitated one of the largest studies of exoplanet discovery and validation ever conducted using data from NASA’s TESS satellite. We statistically validated 64 new exoplanets, making it through a rigorous peer review process. Last week the paper was formally accepted by The Astronomical Journal. Using AI, I created an automated data processing pipeline to process hundreds of gigabytes of data, integrating many disparate systems that typically would require manual work in Jupyter notebooks. Ultimately I was able to make enough progre…

I am excited to share WhisperBar with fellow developers or anyone who reads & writes a ton of text when interacting with their AI agent. For the writing part, WhisperBar does what all other Whisper* apps do but a bit faster and more consistent, with a nice, stable, native macOS and iOS app. But where it really shines is in solving a problem that I'm sure you have encountered too: because of AI, we now have to read and comprehend so much more than before. Text to voice systems are not available everywhere, but even when they are, they sound so mechanical, and listening to the entire output is…

As models have become more capable of running autonomously, I’ve been running more and more agents in parallel. But it’s never been clear to me what the number of agents I can handle is - should I be conservative and try 2-3 agents at a time, or try to push myself to go 5+? So we set out to create a new kind of agent visualization that answered this question. There were two types of agent visualizations we found in our research. One was cursor-wrapped or git-style visualizations that showed high level usage statistics throughout the year. The other was single agent visualizations - showin…
