Hahahaha! Yeah, you’re probably right. Today I was reminded of how useless Siri can be when I asked it to turn off the lights in my office. Meanwhile, my custom agent is smart enough to rebuild OS images…

As I reading the news right and Bixby is now more useful than Siri?

Finally saw #F1 (the #movie). Can’t believe it took me this long, but it was a decent start to the year.

Unicode is hard. But I couldn’t pass up the chance for a snarky commit message…

Have we started sending out #ai generated #xmas cards yet? If not, I’ll have a go at it with something perfectly sensible, just that little obvious bit off, but well meaning - Merry Christmas!

We are now at a point where AI is self-improving. I added a tool to a local project-specific MCP server, Copilot started using it, spotted a bug in the outputs, fixed the MCP server, asked me to ps aux & kill the Python process for the MCP, and carried on.

GPT-5.2 is scary good compared to Claude.

You know we’re closer to AGI when it can sort out issues with CMake

GitHub - usetrmnl/byos_fastapi Contribute to usetrmnl/byos_fastapi development by creating an account on GitHub.

So early this morning I released a #python #fastaoi server for #TRMNL #eink devices on #GitHub, and the founder asked me if it could be added to their set of contributed BYOS implementations - and of course I just moved it there:

TIL that #samurai #jack art looks amazing even in quad-level #eink (my custom #trmnl server is set to rotate a random image in every now and then).

I hate to be the one person pointing out bugs in the #simulation/#matrix, but Coke Zero Vanilla is clearly something that shouldn’t exist.

Test print (old filament, so it’s weird, but dimensionally accurate). Now to finagle the internals a bit, and get the One Button to click. #mac #retrocomputing #classic #mouse
