Sould I get a new head mounted display I can bring with me walking + coding (better fov, perscription lenses), or should I get the Steam Frame VR headset for a bit more gaming and being stationary and less "walking and coding". Long form thoughts appreciated. #vr #ar #steamframe

I'm begging developers to please index the data they're storing locally in their apps so that it can be fast. I get IndexedDB users are kinda cooked if you also want encryption at rest, but folks using Sqlite have no excuse.

[LLM / local model "vibe coding"] Last week I set my local LLM to do it's first mission where it vibe coded some integration tests for me. I added a "allow local file edits" mode to my harness a little while ago but I hadn't had time to actually give it a go. I spent some time as I was logging […]

Can we stop the "prove you're human" checks now that vision models can solve them better than some humans and standardize on a hashcash HTTP challenge/response so we can mitigate the scraping asymmetry while ditching the surveillance JS bloat? Please? www.hashcash.org

[local LLMs] Been revisiting local models again. The state of the art for it's size is apparently MiniCPM5 right now. It can do very basic code related tasks but it's still way too stupid to do actual tasks. Might be enough for my "speech to code to speech" idea though? […]

[LLM rambling] I think of LLMs as tools that decompress a few words into more words. E.g. instructions into tool calls. My goal is to use as little power and as few words as possible to make it output the words I want faster than I can type it. It's like a keyboard / search tool but with a […]
