The opened underside of a Sony M-101 microcassette recorder: a green circuit board dense with hand-soldered joints, a large brass flywheel under an angular metal bracket, a smaller brass pulley, black foam pads, and colored wires looping across the board.

Got my OG Bell Labs Lineman's butt-set working as a mic. 🙌 I got it at a garage sale a while back, but can't seem to find a two tone version of this set.... I am thinking the tech may have mixed more than one handset together. Anyone have any insight on that? #Phreak #lofi
A cluttered granite countertop workbench at night. In the center, a white solderless breadboard is wired up with jumper wires, a small electrolytic capacitor, and a 9V battery in a snap connector. Orange and blue jumper leads run from the breadboard to alligator clips attached to a vintage blue-and-orange flashlight lying on its side. In the foreground sits a Roland P-6 sampler, its red LED display reading 138.0. Behind the breadboard are an orange multimeter with test leads, a blue parts bin, a bottle of Four Roses Single Barrel bourbon, a red ceramic crock, and a pair of sunglasses.

Cisco launches Anteres-350M, 1B & 3B local models for defensive cybersecurity, finding vulnerabilities blogs.cisco.com/ai/introduci...
A scatter plot comparing File F1 Score against parameter count (in billions) for various AI language models. The x-axis uses a logarithmic scale from under 1B to over 1024B parameters, and the y-axis ranges from 0.0 to 0.30 File F1 Score.
A highlighted curve on the left features Foundation AI's small models—Antares-350M, Antares-1B, and Antares-3B—showing high F1 scores (0.13 to 0.21) despite their tiny parameter sizes. On the top right, a shaded region labeled "Closed-Source LLMs" highlights large models including GPT-5.5 (xhigh), GPT-5.5, GLM-5.2, Gemini 3 Pro, and Gemini 2.5 Flash at parameter sizes ranging from hundreds of billions to over 1000B, reaching scores between 0.11 and 0.23. Additional benchmarked models across various creators (such as Gemma-4, Qwen3.5, CodeScout-14B, GPT-OSS, and Llama-3.3-70B) are scattered along the 2B to 250B parameter range, generally scoring below 0.10.

Just as a heads up, if you are ever asking Claude code using Fable 5 to do a workflow without specifying using specific agents or models it will spin up the whole workflow with agents running Fable 5, which will blow through your usage.

Why do they have to drop fable when I got the day off lmao. I have seen some people mentioning Fable being a different model. Just a note, that when initializing it, it starts in "high" effort. Might want to mess with the effort levels if your not getting great results. So far so good for me.

Finally setup my ESP32-S3-BOX-3. I figured it was a good project to test out the Claude's /goal skill(command?). It got it to MVP and am pretty impressed. Now trying to get it wired up to @nousresearch.com Hermes Agent. Finally getting my LCARS assistant I have been dreaming of. #startrek
A small ESP32-S3-BOX-3 development board (Espressif's 2.4" touchscreen dev kit with dual mics, speaker, IR blaster, and a detachable mmWave radar dock) sits on a laptop keyboard. Its peach-colored upper face is tilted up to show the square color LCD running a Star Trek LCARS-style interface. The screen header reads "FRI MAY 22 08:00" and "LCARS4722" with a microphone icon. The main display shows "LENNY" in a small label above large block-letter "STANDBY" text. Below, a "TRANSCRIPT / SECTOR 47" bar separates a status panel listing "USER: AWAITING INPUT" and "LENNY: STANDING BY". A left-side rail of rounded LCARS pill buttons in lavender, peach, mustard, and pink reads "01-422 / 47-238 / LCARS-22 / 03-117 / ALERT". The footer shows "READY UPTIME 47:23" and "47". The lower half of the device is a mint/teal housing with an exposed IR sensor module on the left and a "Radar" labeled mmWave sensor panel in the center. Behind the device, a laptop screen displays a terminal with lines of code and text, out of focus.

Screenshot of an email from Claude (Anthropic). The message reads:

"Hi n0v,

Starting June 15, Max 5x plan subscribers can claim a **$100 monthly credit** for using the Claude Agent SDK and `claude -p`, including third-party tools built on the Agent SDK.

As part of this change, Agent SDK and other programmatic usage will run on this credit, and will not impact your subscription limits. This includes third-party applications built on the Agent SDK. If you use your full Agent SDK credit in a given month, continued use will draw from extra usage, which can be manually enabled and disabled.

Your subscription usage limits don't change. They stay reserved for interactive usage of Claude Code, Claude Cowork, and chat. See the Help Center for more details."

The Claude logo (orange starburst) appears at the top, and "manually enabled and disabled" and "Help Center" are underlined links.

Screenshot of a terminal-style installer interface on a dark navy background. In the top-left corner is a pixelated white "Pi" logo on a dark square tile. Below it, bold cream-colored text reads "Pi Installer" with the tagline "There are many coding agents, but this one is mine." underneath.
The terminal output shows:
"This will run:

Continue? [Y/n] Y"
At the bottom, a horizontal progress bar (mostly empty/dark brown with an orange and red segment near the middle showing partial progress) sits next to the text "Installing Pi fetching package metadata (245)" in bold cream type.
