If anyone is going to an iPhone Duo Workshop or has access to a Duo in the next week or so and can do me a really quick favor, I’d really appreciate it. My DMs are open.

These numbers are also just Open Router. It does not include OpenAI or Anthropic. If we had their numbers it may also show major increases, but also could show a major shift to Open Router and open weight models which leaves behind the top 2 AI companies. #AI

Jev started something. I created System 1 Arcade using Laya which was made with Python and took a while to load. I've now ported it to Go and it loads quickly and it leverages Accelerate and Metal on macOS. Now it is very fast with lower latency per decision. #jev github.com/brennanMKE/l...

It is disappointing that so much of our news skews so negative. A museum dedicated to all of the creative work done by thousands of people over decades being trivialized by @sfgate.com as a vanity project is extremely insulting. www.sfgate.com/la/article/l...

The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art is ridiculous, sincere and completely worth it.

Gemini 4 Pro benchmarks may be leaked and the costs are much lower than OpenAI and Anthropic. This race to reduce costs is pretty heated right now. Many are looking for more affordable models and this looks like a very good option. www.reddit.com/r/GeminiAI/c... #AI #Gemini

Gemini 4 Pro shows much lower input/output prices than OpenAI and Anthropic models

"Computers aren't the thing. They're the thing that gets us to the thing." - Joe MacMillan Joe is a fictional character from a great TV show. The quote still applies well today. It could also be used to frame AI. It is not the goal, it is just a tool.

My Homelab is freshly cleaned up and now has double the ports with a 2nd switch. Now all devices are wired. #Homelab

Brennan @brennan.sstools.co · 14/09/2026

I've been calling this my Homelab. It is a few Mac minis and 2 Raspberry Pis, so far. It's doing a lot for me and I have much more to do. One Pi runs Home Assistant and the other runs Buzz. The M4 Pro Mac mini runs LM studio and M1 runs Plex. M2 is CI/CD currently. #homelab

M1, M2 and M4 Pro Mac minis and 2 Pi 5s. Plus external SSDs.

With the news this week of AI getting out of control and destroying us all, it would be a good weekend to rewatch Weird Science to see what could be done with a computer connected to the Internet in 1985. #WeirdScience #AI youtu.be/MzkeqZdUEms?...

My Homelab setup, which simply sit inside my entertainment center, is a few Mac minis and Raspberry Pis. I've named them all with the characters from Halt and Catch Fire. Since Ghostty/Batty support images it even shows the character when I SSH into each computer. #homelab

I love using btop but wanted a TUI which focuses on memory since I have had to work through memory issues in recent weeks. It's a Python script for macOS that you could simply install as memtop and put it in your PATH. #memory #memtop gist.github.com/brennanMKE/1...
