Llama model on a Raspberry Pi repeats token generation about its disconnected state until it runs out of memory, crashes, and starts back over again. I love projects like this, and it's only his second video! www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fNY...

Part of me loves when an LLM completely butchers a coding task. Like hah, can't do that one yet Claude, can ya?

A great list from one of the best folks in the scene!

It's great when you finally stumble across a name for a particular aesthetic. Anyway, I think I'm in love with cassette futurism.

Multi-host Docker without K8s or Swarm? I need to play around with this asap. Uses Wireguard network + Caddy reverse proxy to handle traffic, all wrapped in a lightweight cli. github.com/psviderski/u...

I have a little buddy living on my shelf now. Wait til you see what he can do!

"...it seems like there has to be a secret behind it. There isn’t. It’s an LLM, a loop, and enough tokens." Fantastic article, removes a lot of the magic behind agent hype and shows how to make your own! ampcode.com/how-to-build...

Genuine question for folks who are using thousands of $ of Claude/LLM tokens per month: what are you building? Even using it every day for a few hours I'd find it hard to hit over a couple hundred bucks.

It would be great if someone (or something) could say "sink a lot of effort into this particular thing, and it'll get you where you want to be". There's just so many possibilities, so many options and noise, it almost feels like a gamble you know?

My dot matrix printer showed up in some random kawaii tiktok and I feel weirdly proud

Life really opens up when you remove the fear of being cringe

Bit of a personal post, but I felt the need to record something. tl;dr my organic views and discovery for the content I built my channel on has all but evaporated. I struggled with it, but ultimately have decided to change direction for the better. youtu.be/kTON1qVf4hk

It's wild how many businesses have the sole value prop of "we wrap an AWS service so you don't have to deal with their UI and admin console".

Nothing but massive respect for game developers. I'm toying around with the most basic of ideas and the spaghetti is already overflowing just trying to keep track of the state of everything.

This is an honest question: if I can type well, will it be easier for me to learn piano? Also, any suggestions for learning how to play from an absolute beginner’s perspective?

Here's how I made Scarn, my "autonomous coding agent" that handles webhooks from GitHub and converts them into PRs. It's built with 500 lines of PHP and works well enough about 90% of the time. Full build + walkthrough below! youtu.be/rSfIOyQASC4

This playlist has quickly become my recent favorite, just immaculate vibes all around

vibecoding is when I write the README and then never get around to writing the rest of the project

This weekend I built my own "autonomous coding agent" that works in the background and generates PRs when an issue gets added to one of my repos. Oh, and it's a single ~500 line long PHP file. Video coming soon!

Procreate has to be one of the most frustrating pieces of software to try and casually use. Every action feels like it's been gatekeeped by the UI and I have to dig through several tutorials to figure out how to do a basic task. inb4 skill issue or rtfm

Anyone else getting like a massive amount of "sponsored post opportunity" emails? I've deleted over a dozen just today.

I'd be okay with us going back to being a British colony if it meant I could get these on a regular basis

Uh oh I've been light mode pilled

"I created a movie trailer with AI!" and it's just three dozen 1-second clips stitched together with almost zero context between them

New vibe coding setup

AI didn't kill Reddit (or SO), overzealous mods and obtuse rules did. On Reddit, half the responses are the same lame jokes, or posts are outright banned for a myriad of reasons: self-promotion, off-topic, no flair, too niche/general Isn't this what voting systems were for??

Have you ever scanned a dirty or crumpled up QR code, *certain* it wouldn't work, and then it instantly does? They're built to be really resilient! Here's a guide I put together, full of interactive visuals to show the design choices in the QR spec. perthirtysix.com/how-the-heck-do-qr-codes-work

One of the best decisions I’ve made recently is bulk purchasing usb power bricks and 10 ft charge cords. Game changer

Getting back into the swing of recording videos this weekend. I'm excited about the next few I have planned, and can't wait to show you! And don't forget, if you have an idea for something you want to see me make or talk about, tell me about it 📣

So fun fact, me and @samwho.dev just sent each other boxes of snacks and random food from our respective countries (US and UK). I’m so excited to see what I get! If you want a sneak peek into what I sent Sam, it’s on my TikTok (but don’t spoil anything here pls)

Okay you got me, I'm finally trying out Raycast

Why is there no radar app for CarPlay? I need to know if the dark clouds I’m driving into are a quick sprinkle or a downpour I need to lock in for during the next ten miles.

More companies need to do this. This is the kind of behavior that should be encouraged.

Had a passing thought this weekend, ended up being large enough to warrant a blog article. Might start doing more impromptu smaller posts, feels good to get my thoughts out and share more frequently! Anyway, I think you should build your own tools: aschmelyun.com/blog/build-y...

I feel silly but I haven’t found a reason to switch from Sonnet 3.7 (or 3.5). I’ve tried Gemini, Qwen, o1/o3, and they just never quite hit the quality I consistently get out of Sonnet for programming and high-level structural tasks. Just me?

Any nice small-mid sized tech oriented Discord servers that have a good sense of community?

✨ It's new samwho visual essay o'clock! ✨ Reservoir sampling is one of my favourite algorithms. It allows you to sample from a set without knowing the size of that set. I try to assume no prior knowledge, and use no scary math notation. Just beautiful visuals. Let me know what you think! ❤️
