Likewise, whole reason I made that button 😂

This is high praise, thanks!

YouTube video by Benn Jordan I Saved a PNG Image To A Bird

Holy shit. This guy saved a PNG to a bird.

(he drew a bird into a spectrogram, played that sound to a starling, and the starling reproduced it back to him with enough accuracy he got his bird drawing back in their call's spectrogram) www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCQC...

I’ve had a bit of a family emergency and it looks like I won’t be making it out to Laracon.

I’m not sure if I can transfer my ticket or if anyone would be interested this short of notice, but if so let me know!

I’ll catch you all at the next one

If I bring my switch to Laracon who’s up for some hotel lobby Mario Kart

I'm sitting here like "what can I make before Laracon??", the crunch is real

I regret that I waited this long to try bun, it's FAST

and built-in TS just seals the deal

I made a thing and brought back Clippy - combining my nostalgia for 1990s UI with the ability to run local LLMs.

Download it at felixrieseberg.github.io/clippy/

Oh thanks for the heads up!

This is the single worst UI that I interact with on an almost daily basis

Same here, still on the first gen M1 MacBook Air. Besides wishing I had a bit of a bigger hard drive, it handles all my needs beautifully.

What’s the best open source LLM model for coding right now?

Is there some kind of comprehensive list that keeps track of this

With Laracon coming up in under two weeks, who's going to be there? If anyone wants to chat or show off some projects while we're in Denver, let me know!

I saw a educational toy from 1989 and had to turn it into a punch-card driven mobile computing platform. Turning a toy into a cyberdeck

Incredible watch from start to finish, taking a vtech from the 80s and making a fully-functional cyberdeck PC: youtu.be/XewX68F0JDg

I’ve linked to it before but I gotta link to it again: nik.digital/posts/tab-ro...

@nik.digital’s design sense is _so sharp_. I’m jealous how good his site looks.

As I make this starter kit, I'm wondering what's the recommended level of "context" to add in for AI tools.

Are Claude md and .cursorrules files enough or is there more that can be done? What would be best for your workflow?

Just finished the first season of Arcane last night.

Knowing nothing about League or the lore going into it, it’s easily one of the best animated shows I’ve ever seen. Up there with Avatar.

When did you change yours?!

It completely died 1 month after I took that picture actually 😅

I have another one that's doing great, though!

Sorry to everyone who knows me as the guy holding a plant, but after 10 years I figured it was time for an updated profile pic

Any photographers in Denver (amateur or otherwise) that I could pay to help me out with something while I’m there at the end of the month?

Let me know!

I get the feeling that authenticity will have a bigger impact over SEO on getting stuff in front of people's eyes, especially past the next 2-3 years.

Kinda sucks that every productivity system or hack boils down to me needing the discipline to actually keep up with it

Banjo Kazooie has one of the best sound designs of any game I’ve ever played.

The fades between different instruments playing the same melody while walking through different areas captivated 8 year old me (and 34 year old me still).

Here's a little overview of my app PocketCal, if you haven't tried it yet!

Extracting my ~300 pages in Notion to markdown so I can use Obsidian.

Oh, and run Claude against them 😈

It Just Works (tm)

Hollow Knight soundtrack is absolutely perfect for locked-in coding sessions and I haven’t found something else that comes close to it

I'm hoping! That was my first smart watch, and I still miss it to this day.

I want to wear cool watches but also need to track my heart rate.

What’re my options?
