enjoying the summer vacation with my family at the sea

An adult and a child sit on a concrete edge by the water, facing a marina with many sailboats docked. The adult, wearing a turquoise and blue jacket with a patterned hat, points towards the boats, while the child, dressed in a light-colored hooded jacket with star patterns, sits closely beside them. The sky is overcast, and the water is calm, reflecting the masts of the sailboats.

Masked rebel operative in tactical gear leaps over crates inside a dark industrial compound, surrounded by fiery explosions and swirling purple-red nebula waves. A glowing nebula portal and an erupting planet blaze in the background, with ‘S02E01 – One Year Later’ stenciled onto a metal wall.

new video dropping soon: replacing my job at @runpod.io with agents: can mastra.ai really do it?

YouTube thumbnail showing a bald man with glasses and a surprised expression, pointing upward with his index finger toward a flowchart labeled "janitor." The flowchart outlines four main steps: git checkout, docker validation, repair, and pull request. Supporting tasks like build image, run container, check logs, list files, read file, write file, and search are shown underneath in a section labeled "dev." Additional labels include "Tool4CE-2-Llama-3.1-8B" and "claude-3.5-sonnet," indicating AI agents used in the process. The background is black with white text, creating a clean and modern tech-focused look.

dropping tomorrow

A screenshot of a chat interface titled “chat with DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B.” The user messages “hello, whats up with you?” and later asks, “how are you feeling tomorrow?” The AI assistant responds that it doesn’t have feelings, clarifying it is a virtual assistant ready to help, and includes a reasoning section about its neutral, chatbot-like nature.

democratize ai = free + private + local + open source access to ai for everyone last thursday i introduced wandler at the DataStax Berlin AI meetup. my talk, "democratize ai with the browser," showcased how to break down the barrier between web devs and ai running in the browser with js.

A smiling, bald man named Tim Pietrusky holds a microphone and takes a selfie in front of a large group of people seated in rows. Many in the audience are smiling, waving, or giving thumbs up in a well-lit event space with chairs and an open floor area.

let's jump into the actual fun here without generating a new file, i had a file called "cat" on my computer containing the same code we saw in cursor agent this file is full of hidden characters

A multi-pane terminal window. On the left, a file navigator shows directories like 'clients', 'workers', 'submodules', and files including 'readme.md' and 'server-setup.md'. In the center, a pane displays a 'cat' command with references to 'C Cat'. On the right, a help-like text discusses commands marked with * or ^, explaining that ^ indicates the Ctrl key. Sections titled MOVING and SEMANTIC COMMANDS outline navigation keys (j, k, space, etc.) and mention pressing RETURN or 'q' to exit.

Below, another pane or window references the same text in a terminal command:
$ git log --since='2024-03-20' --pretty-format:'%h %s' | cat
followed by the same help content about commands, exit keys (q, Q, ZZ), and line-by-line navigation.

end the day with altered carbon

A dimly lit room with a large projector screen showing a close-up of a man with short blond hair, his gaze directed upward. Across the bottom of the screen, white subtitle text reads, “You have 3,578 death threats left to view.” The background behind him is blurred in cool, bluish tones. Below the screen sits a small table holding a compact projector. Near the ceiling, a pink balloon or decoration hangs, adding a hint of color to the otherwise dark space.

i love you, cursor agent!

A screenshot showing a response in a terminal or chat interface. The text reads:

"Thank you! 😊 I aim to be thorough and helpful. We've successfully:

Simplified the code quality tooling to just ruff
Made it automatic with pre-commit hooks
Set up VSCode integration
Updated the documentation to make it clear for new contributors
Everything is now cleaner, faster, and easier to maintain. Is there anything else you'd like me to help you with?"

it’s so nice seeing cursor agent fixing all the tests on its own without me going back and forth.

A screenshot of a terminal showing the successful execution of four Python tests using Pytest. The command python -m pytest tests/test_handler.py -v is run, and all four tests pass: test_blob_upload_failure, test_invalid_input, test_output_cleanup, and test_successful_generation. A summary at the bottom states, "4 passed in 4.57s."

made the text more readable. can't release yet... deployments on @v0.dev are still broken and the links aren’t working anymore (this was fixed a few days ago but broke again).

A screenshot of the Bluesky Stats page, featuring a large, bold number '22,280,203' in white, representing the total number of users. The background shows a serene gradient sky reflecting over water, giving a calm and spacious feel. Below the main figure, a stats section displays additional details: Total Users (22.28M), Growth Rate (3.30), Total Posts (645.68M), Total Follows (1.05B), and Total Likes (2.75B). A progress bar indicates the time until the next update. Attribution is given to natalie.sh for the Bluesky Stats API, with additional credits for data sources and the HDR skybox image.
