libvirt/qemu ecosystem is very powerful but kinda of complex... claude --dangerously-skip-permissions just seems to handle it so well. I'm back virtualizing stuff in my linux box!

IA experiment of the week: a "thing" to prevent my camera from spinning when floating, so I can record my own dives. 3d printing it in a bambu a1 mini

Why not both?
Has AI made you smarter, faster, or lazier?

Added a few more characters, and thinking this could be used better in a turn-based game like Shadowrun / X-COM

My time to shine!
interesting reversal happening where typos are now a sign of effort

Ok, gamedev with Astra and Three.js seems very fun! Not a one-shot - more likely ~20 small prompts - but it does a bunch of stuff already: - walk - run - attack - mouse / awsd - camera turns I was particularly surprised with the fire attack properly setting the zombie ablaze!

Need to set collision so characters stop behaving like 👻, and clicking a zombie to attack seems to be a bit difficult on certain angles.

AI experiment of the weekend: a "Diablo 1&2" in Three.js, set in feudal Japan Obviously I will add Zombies!!!

PiRover is rolling across the floor! 🥳 A one second burst at 20% output took it 9.5 cm forward. There’s a bit of drift when moving sideways, so some tuning is next.

A year ago, this little robot would’ve eaten up several weekends just doing all the “interfacing” around it. Now it’s basically one weekend + a $20 Claude/Codex subscription. There’s definitely something nostalgic about not writing all the code myself anymore. But being able to just try all the things I had in mind brings a different kind of joy.

First wheel tests! Short pulses, one wheel at a time. All four wheel positions and forward directions check out. 🤖

Well, that didn’t go to plan. PiRover’s four-motor test stopped responding, and I had to shutdown. Turns out the Pi supply isn’t up to this motor load. Switching to batteries now...

I heard Qwen 3.8 27B is a very nice model, but on my macbook air with 32gb it is slow and dumb 🫠

Gene Myers just released super fast whole genome aligner github.com/thegenemyers/FAST…. He and @c1zhou and I have lots of ideas for downstream use.
