Building an automatically updating live blog in Django
— OpenAI's DevDay event yesterday (October 1st 2024) didn’t invite press (as far as I can tell), didn’t livestream the event and didn’t allow audience livestreaming either. I made a last minute decision [to live blog the event](https://simonwillison.net/2024/Oct/1/openai-devday-2024-live-blog/) myself.

MapLibre GL + OpenFreeMap demo
— Explore an interactive map of San Francisco rendered with MapLibre GL and OpenFreeMap tiles, displaying 1000 randomly distributed markers across the city. The demo showcases three different approaches for rendering large numbers of points—scaled markers, custom HTML elements, and GeoJSON circle layers—with the map automatically adjusted to fit all markers in view. Users can interact with the tilted 3D map to navigate and explore the marker distribution across the San Francisco area.
Vincent Simonetti collected his first historic tuba - a ~1910 Cerveny BB-flat Helicon - in Boston in 1965, while playing tuba on tour with the Moyseev Ballet Company. Today the collection has grown to more than 350 tubas, and is now the largest private collection in the world that is dedicated exclusively to members of the tuba family.

— I decided to have a poke around and see if I could figure out how the HTTP streaming APIs from the various hosted LLM providers actually worked. Here are my notes so far.
Tool
Markdown and Math Live Renderer
— Render Markdown text with integrated LaTeX mathematical equations in real-time as you type. This tool converts your input into formatted HTML output while simultaneously displaying a live preview with properly rendered math expressions using KaTeX. You can view the generated HTML code and copy it to your clipboard for use in other projects.
Tool
GitHub API File/Image Writer
— Upload files and images to GitHub repositories using the GitHub API. This tool accepts either text content or image files and commits them to a specified repository path with proper authentication via personal access tokens. The interface automatically adapts to show relevant input fields based on whether you're uploading text or an image file.
Tool
Image Token Calculator
— Calculate the token cost for images used in API requests by uploading or dragging an image file into the tool. The calculator analyzes the image dimensions and divides them into 224-pixel tiles, multiplying the total tile count by 1,000 to determine the token expense. This helps estimate costs when working with vision-based APIs that charge per image token.
Tool
YouTube Thumbnail Viewer
— View YouTube video thumbnails in multiple resolutions by entering a video URL or ID. This tool extracts and displays all available thumbnail formats from YouTube's image server, allowing you to preview different quality options and copy direct image links. Click on any thumbnail to expand it for a closer look, and use the copy button to save the image URL to your clipboard.
