The warehouse apartment: how I moved my house onto industrial logistics standards
Renting in Israel means moving often, involuntarily, and expensively. My answer: store everything in the same standardised industrial containers — Euroboxes, pallets, picking bins — that industry uses to move things at scale.
An index of Israeli open-data projects
A point-in-time snapshot of Israeli open-data resources I've been tracking — government catalogues, scrapers, MCP servers, and downstream utilities, grouped by domain. Useful starting point if you're building anything against Israeli public data.
My index of Israel agent-skills repos
A small index of the Israel-focused Claude Code skill repos I'm working on — released plugins, the workspaces feeding into them, and a pointer to Skills-IL, a broader Israeli AI agent-skills directory.
What Jerusalem's air looks like when it stops driving
A natural-experiment analysis of 12 months of hourly Jerusalem air-quality data, relabelled against exact halachic windows and benchmarked against London and New York. Findings, methods, and caveats.
A few Hebrew fonts worth knowing about
A short tour of Hebrew fonts you can install today from Google Fonts — the workhorses, the formal ones, the handwriting, the deliberately weird, and the Rashi script.
A small Hebrew date widget for KDE Plasma
I wanted the Hebrew date sitting quietly in my system tray next to the English one. KDE didn't have a widget that did this, so I built one — sunset-aware, configurable, and small enough to live between the clock and the notification icons.
Voxcast: a small voice-to-text app for when "send the email already" is the bottleneck
An open-source Android app that takes your voice and reshapes it into clean prose, polite emails, AI prompts, or Hebrew messages. Two presets are Hebrew-specific — useful for olim and anyone whose Hebrew register is a daily second-guess.
Five Frontier Models Walk Into a Forecasting Council
I stripped the heavy actor-simulation out of my geopolitical forecasting pipeline and ran five lineage-diverse LLMs as a council on Iran-Israel-US. The consensus was interesting. The disagreement was more interesting.
Three repos for running purchasing decisions through Claude Code
A pattern I've settled into for buying things thoughtfully: one repo per purchase, standing preferences in Mem0, an Israel-specific plugin that handles the local retail quirks, and two workspace templates that split product merit from sourcing.
How much bitrate does an audio-multimodal LLM actually need?
An eval across 12 audio-capable models on OpenRouter, 5 MP3 bitrates, 4 dictation samples. The default upload quality in most dictation apps is 2–4× overprovisioned — and the more interesting finding had nothing to do with bitrate.
