abiscotti.com After 11 website iterations over the past 3 years, I finally feel ready to publish my new engineering portfolio showcasing some recent projects. Thanks @nextjs and @thecosmos for helping me keep design and engineering always in the same thought.

Today, we’re excited to announce Deep Extract. We’re pushing the boundary of complex document extraction by utilizing an agent harness approach, iterating and verifying outputs until they are at human-level accuracy. The results speak for themselves: we’ve handled documents exceeding 2,500 pages, extracting a total of 30M+ fields in the last couple weeks with results in our production beta reaching 99-100% accuracy. It’s particularly effective on complex documents with long lists, such as invoice line items, brokerage statement transactions, equipment manifests, and more. See more on how we built it, how to use it, and more👇

@austinjian_ @phoebe_work_ Yo congrats! 🎈

I have some life updates to share! I'm finally done both recruiting and my first year at waterloo I'll be moving to New York City this summer to work at @phoebe_work_ as a software engineering intern! This past semester has been pretty grindy with balancing school, recruiting, and a part-time but it's been very rewarding First co-op hunt has also been pretty difficult. Went 0/55 on waterlooworks and failed a lot of interviews (especially in the beginning of the cycle). However, a lot of people have helped me out by warm introing, mock interviews, and much more, making this process a whole lot easier for me. I have a lot of ppl to thank. For Phoebe specifically, I'm very grateful to @adiprasadd @shayaan_azeem for the intro, @jrwoodbridge for the quick and smooth hiring process, and fellow intern @casperdongg for helping me navigate with visas and more 🙏 It's been a good year and I'm excited for my next chapter. hmu if you're in nyc this summer!

@arbitr_ary I got u twin

anyone got me for a yc sus referral?

@prayaght Excited to see what’s in store.

This account will be a collection of thoughts and experiments over the next couple years. But I’ll probably stop posting once I get a Virgil Maybach.

@nicholaschen__ Cool beans

One of the best articles I've read about ASCII rendering! alexharri.com/blog/ascii-ren…

@0xTraderJoes Kieran made me do it. It’s his fault.

This little illuminated dragon is very happy about Pretext. He's too busy having fun to care about people's "hot takes" on how "it's not that special." (This little dragon also only works on desktop right now but maybe I'll do mobile later) illustrated-manuscript.vercel.app

@shadielfares @nicholaschen__ Nice! You could show thumbnails gridstyle and video hover preview that way, or stacked text rows like I have it

@aaronbiscotti @nicholaschen__ i think i could use this for my site, shadielfares.com. i went more for like the changelog style but i has a preference for minimalism

onHover(() => collapseWaveFunction(video))

@aaronbiscotti where can i steal this from

@sne_sol Don’t, unless you only have like 10 videos

@aaronbiscotti highkey tuff, i’m stealing that

@nicholaschen__ So sick, can you make it smoother?

i came across this website and loved the metal blob, but couldn’t find any open-source react component, so i built and open-sourced one that uses webgl + react github.com/nicholaschen09…

@aaronbiscotti interesting…!

Working with fine arts folks every once in a while is a healthy way to maintain perspective

Played around with webgl + css masks / animations for a few hours today to make finding good reads more interactive. Still a WIP. Thinking of adding a better recommendation system, detailed slugs, bookmarking, and library soon :)

@sarsanedas_ So clean

Pendular case study coming soon
