I had Claude Code with Fable create a small scrollytelling map for my 14-minute walk experience at Bagmane Capital in Bangalore. I used this as an opportunity to explore the current status of the technology. ChatGPT suggested: Try ArcGIS StoryMaps first for a polished scrollytelling story. Try Google Earth Projects if this is primarily something you will present live, like a map-based slide deck. Use MapLibre GL JS with a coding agent if you want precise choreography, animated routes, unusual visual effects, or an asset you can continually extend. None of these fit my requirements, which was: ...

Over dinner with Nishka, we were trying to deploy a website. The challenge was: How can we deploy this website, just on mobile, without getting up from the dinner table? STEP 1: Hosting. On my phone, I dictated to ChatGPT (whose transcription is excellent), copy-pasted that to Gemini (which is faster): I want to publish specifically a static HTML web page on my own domain. I want the easiest way that I can host it, preferably just by copy-pasting from my mobile without needing to muck around with Git and the likes of it. What are the most robust, reliable hosting providers that I could use? I can sort out the domain name myself as long as they support an option to map a custom domain name to them. Ideally, I am looking for something that is free, preferably free forever. ...

Here’s the GitHub Actions file (.github/workflows/deploy.yaml) I use to publish to GitHub pages. name: Deploy to GitHub Pages on: # Run when pushed. Use { branches: [main, master] } to run only on specific branches push: # Allow manual triggering of the workflow workflow_dispatch: # OPTIONAL: Run at a specific cron schedule, e.g. first day of every month at 12:00 UTC (noon) schedule: - cron: "0 12 1 * *" permissions: # To deploy to GitHub Pages pages: write # To verify that deployment originated from the right source id-token: write jobs: # Run as a single build + deploy job to reduce setup time deploy: # Specify the deployment environment. Displays the URL in the GitHub Actions UI environment: name: github-pages url: ${{ steps.deployment.outputs.page_url }} # Run on the latest Ubuntu LTS runs-on: ubuntu-latest \ steps: # Checkout the repository - uses: actions/checkout@v4 # Run whatever commands you want - run: echo '<h1>Hello World</h1>' > index.html # Upload a specific page to GitHub Pages. Defaults to _site - uses: actions/upload-pages-artifact@v3 with: path: . # Deploy the built site to GitHub Pages. The `id:` is required to show the URL in the GitHub Actions UI - id: deployment uses: actions/deploy-pages@v4 This is based on Simon Willison’s workflow and some of my earlier actions. ...

Here’s my new workflow for creating slide decks: ChatGPT interviews me and creates Markdown slides. I use Marp to convert Markdown to slides. LLMs create supporting images. I deploy on GitHub Pages. … and here are 2 decks created this way. Visualizing LLM Hallucinations LLMs in Education Let’s look at how I built the second example, step by step. ChatGPT interviews me and creates Markdown slides While walking 75 minutes from home to IIT Madras to deliver this talk, I had ChatGPT interview me in standard voice mode. ...

One of my goals for 2024 is to “Compound long-term goals, daily.” Learning is one of those. Some people publish their learnings as weekly notes, like Simon Willison, Thejesh GN, Anil Radhakrishna, and Julia Evans. I follow their notes. I started doing the same, quietly, to see if I could sustain it. It’s been a year and it has sustained. I’m finally publishing them. My week notes are at til.s-anand.net. Here’s the source code. ...

Arun Tangirala and I webinared on “AI in Education” yesterday. This post isn’t about the webinar, which went on for an hour and was good fun. This post isn’t for my preparation for the webinar, which happened frantically 15 minutes before it started. This post is about how I created the annotated talk at https://github.com/sanand0/ai-in-education-webinar (inspired by Simon Willison’s annotated presentations process) – a post-processing step that took ~3 hours – and the tools I used for this. ...

Github offers Github Pages that let you host web pages on Github. You create these by adding a branch to git called gh-pages, and this is often in addition to the default branch master. I just needed the gh-pages branch. So thanks to YJL, here’s the simplest way to do it. Create the repositoryon github. Create your local repository and git commitinto it. Type git push -u origin master:gh-pages In .git/config, under the [remote "origin"] section, add push = +refs/heads/master:refs/heads/gh-pages The magic is the last :gh-pages.
