I have been learning a bit of robotics and at the same time building my first robot. ๐Ÿค– Today, for fun, I made it play a little bit of boxing ๐ŸฅŠ

Cool stuff!! So happy ๐Ÿ˜€

The WWDC announcements I'm most excited about are the new Foundation Models framework (for accessing Apple's on-device LLMs) and the Containerization framework for running Docker-style containers without hosting them all in a Linux VM - here's links to relevant docs for both of those [โ€ฆ]

Starting easy by using a already designed model. Adding some flair by printing some parts with fluorescent filament

It's so frustrating when I order something online then turns out days later the item wasn't even in stock. The website shows nothing, so I have to call and ask why it was not sent yet. :ablobcatkeyboardbreak:

Original post on nullpointer.social

I was very skeptical of using LLMs for coding. Felt it was super distracting and wasting my time by driving me to wrong solutions.

Then I learned that I am more productive, by many orders of magnitude, if I do the opposite. I know what I want and I drive the LLMs to do what I already know that [โ€ฆ]

My llm-fragments-github plugin has a new feature that lets you import the markdown for an issue thread using -f issue:org/repo/number - so now you can feed it the repo contents with -f github:simonw/llm and an issue and tell it to "muse on this issue [โ€ฆ]

I frequently need to analyze GStreamer logs. I find it difficult to analyze sometimes, I have created a small utility that I wish existed. It is available here: https://gstreamerlogs.caricio.com/

and its opensource, of course.
