I remember when 8-bit machines ruled the Earth, IOS was a Cisco thing, and e-mail bounced around via dial-up, back before the first AI winter.
I'm now enjoying the new AI spring and doing all sorts of fun stuff.

I have a set of prompts that are essentially “audit the current code changes for logic errors” (plus linting and testing, including double checking test conditions) and I run them using GPT-5.x-Codex …

This is pretty great. I’ve gone and hacked your GTE C inference project to Go purely for kicks, but this one I will look at for possible compiler optimizations and building a Mac CLI for scripting…

I've been using AI to systematically go through my (extremely) long list of pet projects/fixes/gripes/things that should exist, and it's been fun, but I agree with the sentime…

People wanting a Retina-capable drawterm to access Plan9/9front from their Macs are welcome to have a look at https://github.com/rcarmo/drawterm …

This has been a recurring theme for ages, with a few companies taking it to extremes—there are people transpiring COBOL to bash too…

Hmmm. I recently created https://github.com/rcarmo/asterisk-embedding-model , need to look at this since I had very limited training resources.…

I am deep down into the rabbit hole of assessing various open source projects to build a custom trackball with a 52mm billiard ball (appropriately, it’s the 8-ball).

But Dilbert still lives on. As a telco person, Dilbert was always uncannily accurate -- to the point where I was once accused of telling Adams about a specific event :)

I had an interesting experience with OpenCode yesterday, and I was also sent that RCE: https://taoofmac.com/space/blog/2026/01/12/1830 …

Nice. I’ve gone down the same path, but with more creature comforts: https://github.com/rcarmo/toadbox …

I was using the OpenCode free model defaults. This was a test setup, so I didn't configure anything - toadbox just installs toad, which then lets me install and run OpenCode without any configura…

This happened to me an hour ago, and I thought it would be an interesting thing for the HN crowd to see - I had a transient DNS failure and OpenCode (which is running inside Toad, a TUI ACP front-end …
