It's the little things Like being able to make #Music with #PowerShell in a #GitHubAction, at 5x realtime. GitHub workflow runners are quicker than you'd think. And Making Music in a GitHub Workflow is beautifully batty.

For comparison I rock 32 cores @ 4.10ghz and normally see this script running in 2 seconds.

Figured out how to make #music with #PowerShell Just make .wav files 😎 Been a fun few days. Made a synth over a weekend. Got sine/saw/triangle/square waves working. Didn't expect them to be so beautiful. 🩵 Code in alt (12 lines!) BTW, also supports #MIDI & DECPS 🤷😏 #RetroGaming #Tetris

Sometimes I try to test my #Ollama harness by asking a quick question to a tiny model, like TinyLlama. Sometimes, it spends [TimeSpan]"00:06:45.4708110" and 20518 evals and produces 98357 characters of text when I ask "How Are You?"🤷🤣

🤔 @jtp.bsky.social it just occurred to me that the benefit of some "on the box" llm on Linux could actually be pretty huge. So much knowledge is buried in Man pages, and having a little local open model trained on it would probably help adoption. 🤷 Now I've said it. How do you think?
