Sachymetsu @sachy.dev · 22/09/2026Did some benchmarking of nailpit's markov chain impl, and I'm quite surprised. 20-22 million tokens per second after being trained on the full Moby Dick text. I think iocaine does around 10 million tokens per second currently? There's potential improvements still, but that will be a whole effort... 120
Sachymetsu @sachy.dev · 21/08/2026Got my (very basic) KDL config being processed and sent to my Pico 2W over BLE, which powers a pump at the configured times! It feels great to have my timer code work correctly and then recalc the next alarms fine. All with a config that looks like: 120
Sachymetsu @sachy.dev · 20/08/2026It's over. An end to an era. Thank you for finally allowing me to be fully free from browsing reddit. I am healed. 150
Sachymetsu @sachy.dev · 18/08/2026After a week long, intensive grass touching holiday, I feel pretty recharged. As proof of this field trip, I provide photographic evidence. 10/10, just don't lose track of where you parked your rental car in an unfamiliar town. 170
Sachymetsu @sachy.dev · 25/07/2026Making my code unscrapable by shitposting as hard as I can. This is serious code written by a very serious person. Link in case folks wanna see for themselves: tangled.org/sachy.dev/wh... 050
Sachymetsu @sachy.dev · 23/07/2026I dunno, but I have one here who thinks he owns the place. Very demanding. 010
Sachymetsu @sachy.dev · 17/07/2026Just use the DefaultPacketPool provided by trouble-host. Be normal Sachy, don't rein... Oh FFS 020
Sachymetsu @sachy.dev · 09/07/2026Prusament PETG V0 is a tricky filament. I solved bridging issues, but now on the last skirt, it keeps not printing well and burning the filament. This only happens on the last bit, because I figure the other layers get enough time to cool & set. Anyone got tips for this particular filament? 010
Sachymetsu @sachy.dev · 30/06/2026I know there are plenty of folks who shit on @edzitron.com for being a hack, but uhh... I think the finance folks are starting to say the shit he's been saying for years now. ... is that good? (Link to the report in question: www.bis.org/publ/arpdf/a... ) 110
Sachymetsu @sachy.dev · 27/06/2026Also happy at how my coffee plant is doing. Might be a bit too warm for it, but humidity is good outside, and it is shaded with enough sunlight. Might have to figure out a better way to keep it going over winter tho 030
Sachymetsu @sachy.dev · 27/06/2026Love it when I go off on a trip and the parlsey seeds I planted are already sprouting. Mulch applied to deter weeds and retain soil moisture in this damned heatwave. 130
Sachymetsu @sachy.dev · 04/06/2026Been printing out replacement enclosures for my moisture sensors, and the Prusament PETG v0 natural filament has been a nice improvement, since it lets through more light in, allowing better data out of the light sensors the board has. Still figuring out the best print settings for it 230
Sachymetsu @sachy.dev · 29/05/2026So, here is an example of a fundamental misunderstanding of why artists are so against AI. Ignoring how AI is being wielded against them, trained on their work without compensation, and completely oblivious to the motivations and needs of artists. "Better results" ain't it /1 130
Sachymetsu @sachy.dev · 15/03/2026Or you can just cut out the middleman and write the code yourself, without a lossy and gambly translation layer involved. A lot of advice on LLMs seems to ignore the existence of folk who have stronger nonverbal reasoning skills, who don't get the benefit of LLMs in how they work 1/ 230
Sachymetsu @sachy.dev · 13/03/2026Time to spread some joy instead with #cat pics: Very eepy & comfy 080
Sachymetsu @sachy.dev · 09/03/2026Can't mention my cats without tax. Here's one making himself comfy on the pile of fresh clothes I have yet to fold and put away. Fucking bastard ♥️ 051
Sachymetsu @sachy.dev · 01/03/2026Now that I'm back from my trip, getting to work on my projects again. Tweaking my lightning detector monitoring app, upgrading the #bevy version and bevy_ratatui. Still some networking bugs, but at least I have a nice util to help improve the MCU/driver code. #tui #ratatui #embedded 030
Sachymetsu @sachy.dev · 28/01/2026Super serious testing regime of my lightning sensor. Voltages within the circuit a bit different to my prototype, but it seems to be even more sensitive. Driver code coming along nicely, but plenty to tweak still. #embedded 010
Sachymetsu @sachy.dev · 26/01/2026And done with soldering the last remaining bit, the IC that makes the lightning sensor work. All with a cable I can use to connect to my Pico W. Probably will start testing it in earnest tomorrow. 020
Sachymetsu @sachy.dev · 26/01/2026Fucking hype! I just received my sensor boards. Gotta solder on the last bit (the TA7642 IC) and I will get testing. Will have to create a connector cable too to my Pico board. #embedded 050
Sachymetsu @sachy.dev · 24/01/2026I think it might be a little cold... #cat #cozy #CatsofBlueSky #Caturday #catsky 060
Sachymetsu @sachy.dev · 20/01/2026My #meshtastic starter kit arrived. No box/case for it yet, but that comes later. Gonna first test this out and see how it goes. 051
Sachymetsu @sachy.dev · 16/01/2026Figuring out KiCAD a bit better now, updated lightning detector PCB. Now with a JST-PH 3-pin connector. This is kinda fun. #embedded shenanigans. Maybe I should place an order for these. 110
Sachymetsu @sachy.dev · 15/01/2026I can't quite figure out KiCAD (I need to practice more), but LibrePCB got me covered. A little lightning detector sensor, let's gooooo #embedded 330
Sachymetsu @sachy.dev · 10/01/2026Hell yeah! My #tui app for monitoring lightning detection data from my Pico W board is working nicely. Working with #bevy for the ECS/app structure and #ratatui for the rendering has been pretty nice. Still a lot more features to implement. 140
Sachymetsu @sachy.dev · 07/01/2026Success! Yak shave complete. I can now discover my lightning detector on the network via mDNS Service Discovery. Now onto other things... 000
Sachymetsu @sachy.dev · 04/01/2026Finally back home, and now I can test my lightning detector with my redone pico w code: tangled.org/sachy.dev/pi... Embassy makes #embedded programming so... fun & cozy! Things just work. 110
Sachymetsu @sachy.dev · 29/12/2025Nothing cozier than a kitty sleeping next to a wood burner in the winter. #cat #cozy #catsofbluesky 050
Sachymetsu @sachy.dev · 23/12/2025The fun part of open hardware is instead of using the provided firmware, you instead write your own firmware! *In Rust~*. And then you get the warm fuzzies when it all works. Why am I like this? github.com/rbaron/b-par... tangled.org/sachy.dev/sa... 000
