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.

It still looks _exactly_ the same way as a decade ago (well, there were some CSS tweaks). I used to use it for my own projects until friction overcame my tastes, but I remember one of the things I rea…

I watched this over the weekend and loved the approach. I’ve played with SDF for 3D modeling (even though the current libraries generate meshes for slicing using marching cubes, which is slow as heck …

Yup. That’s what I use it for.

https://taoofmac.com/space/blog/2022/04/12/2330 is what most of my XFCE desktops have looked like for the past few years. I carry the theme around.…

I created this over the holiday break to do mostly the same: https://github.com/rcarmo/PhotosExport ...when you try to export files using the (restricted) APIs we get, it automat…

Two weekend projects: - https://github.com/rcarmo/gotel (an OpenTelemetry tracing collector/UI, under heavy refactoring) - https://github.com/rcarmo/toa…

gpt-5-mini can go a surprisingly long way, and Mistral's stuff is also quite good so far.
comment
Linting and proper tests are the reason why I can use even simple models to get a lot done—preferably writing the tests with a second model.
comment
I would dispute that since many of my automations have broken throughout the years as Apple tweaked their applications.
comment
Before someone else points that out, you missed the opportunity to run Crysis and some schools of thought would consider any kind of gaming benchmark to be invalid due to its absence :)

I would heartily recommend Sebastian Lague's latest video, which covers this in a very approachable way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08mmKNLQVHU …

I think mine have a little more code, but they also have a lot more tools: - https://github.com/rcarmo/bun-steward - https://github.com/rcarmo/python-steward…

As someone who's been back into Go a couple of times (oscillating between Python, "C-ish" languages and the like), the ONE thing I hate about Go is error handling. The rest I can live w…

I was looking for more speed on ARM devices.
comment
I took a look at this during my holiday break (where I was hacking BasiliskII to do JIT emulation on ARM), and it’s quite neat but, IIRC, wasn’t enough of a speed up over the existing emulator.
comment
Weird. Copilot knows what tests are and only "fixes" them after we've refactored the relevant code. I really wonder if Claude Code and other agents keep track of these dependencies at a…
comment
Wow. And yet, no Mac version. Anyone got it to work on Linux/Proton?
comment
I’m bearish about that kind of future :)
comment
That’s where VS Code has helped me the most, it provides a lot more model guidance than people realize.
comment
Well, like I pointed out somewhere else, VS Code gives it a set of prompts and tools that makes it very effective for me. I see that a lot of people are still copy/pasting stuff instead of having…
