I like making things. Most of them are silly. Sometimes I post about them.

I couldn't find a travel planner I liked, so I made one: www.wherewhen.cc Invite only for now, but here are some: KGHW-3GA8-6VUQ YC9B-23HT-7K4F 3TZ7-ZFM7-TUPP 6NMQ-JHBE-7JNY 49T5-M8N7-W7MW Feedback appreciated! Keep in mind it's under rapid development, but your data is safe.

I got a Pebble Index ring, and I made it so if I say "mayday" to the ring, my phone rings with a fake incoming call. Thanks @ericmigi.com for getting me out of awkward social situations.

@ericmigi.com are there any plans to make an Index app for the Pebble, that lets me record notes with the watch (as if I was recording them with the ring), for the times my ring isn't with me?

1/2 I bought a Pebble Index 01, a ring for recording voice notes, by @ericmigi.com. I really like it, the app is great, and the team is very responsive. There's one big issue, though: Because it's not rechargeable, I find myself not using it because I don't want to spend the charge.

I have a small projector that is sitting idle, and I was figured I'd have it project something on the bedroom ceiling. Here's an aurora with an accurate starfield over your current location: skorokithakis.github.io/ceiling-auro...

@ericmigi.com Is there any update on the Index 01? Back in May most were supposed to have been shipped by now, but we haven't heard anything.

It used to be that one engineer wrote the code, another reviewed it. Now the first engineer uses Claude to write the code, and the second engineer uses Claude to review it, and then everyone complains that engineers might be out of a job soon.

Hey @martin.kleppmann.com, I saw you tried www.writelucid.cc, I got an error that the API key is out of credits, I don't know if that surfaced in the UI properly. You should get a better error message now, if you want to try again.

The problem with LLMs is that they're accessible, so everyone thinks they're an expert on them. It's like swinging a hammer around and then complaining the hammer ruined your house. Let alone the "omg LLMs have massive environmental impact because we're all using them all day long!".

I wrote a quick script to calculate how many times the AI architect/reviewer rejected an implementation per implementor model. Basically an AI change failure rate. @simonwillison.net do you know of anything else like this? Could be an interesting aggregate metric.

I compared implementor LLMs: * GLM-5.1: a bit sloppy. It did deliver the feature. $3/mo plan. * Qwen3.6: ran out after $5. OpenRouter didn't use cache. * DeepseekV4: made 2/4 of the same mistakes GLM-5.1 did but way more thorough. $0.09 via DS API. * Sonnet: sloppiest. Works, half-assed.

I hooked my Home Assistant Voice up to my AI bot, and gave the latter the ability to make shortcuts. I can talk to my bot (slow) but also turn the lights off (very fast, using a shortcut), and the bot itself adds the shortcuts. github.com/skorokithaki... stavrobot.stavros.io

I don't understand why Claude will do this: - I could do that, but it's a big change for a very small benefit, so I hacked this kludge together instead. - No, please do it. - Ok I changed three lines in one file and removed my 20-line kludge. Mystifying.

1/ My AI bot hacked me. I asked it (github.com/skorokithaki...) to create a subagent to read some messages. I forgot subagent didn't have access to the database, but the bot was so determined to help me that it gave the subagents access to run Python code, and it found my Docker container.

Lately Hacker News has been making me regret sharing my projects. The "you used an LLM, therefore it's all terrible and you're shit" people need to go back to the holes they crawled out from.

Of course I had to make my own personal assistant agent: github.com/skorokithaki... It's more secure than OpenClaw, but perhaps not as competent yet. I really like it, though.

I couldn't wait to get my Pebble Index and made a pendant with a button that I can use to record my thoughts and notes. I also made an Android app that will receive, store, and transcribe those notes. I'm really liking this, I'll write it up soon.

I really hate how I have to log in EVERY SINGLE DAY to the 100 sites I use, because someone opined that "long-running sessions are bad for security". I ended up disabling 2FA everywhere because I couldn't deal with wasting 10 min a day logging in. @owasp.org please update your guidance.

Is GPT-5.2 Codex *way* too snarky for anyone else? It's been giving me lip for ages, and now it made a mistake and I got fed up at the snark and demanded it apologise. This is its refusal.
