Haven’t started, still in the planning phase, but I want to build a Tamagotchi for readers. I’m calling it Tome & Tail: a little black dragon living in a pixel-art library on an ESP32-S3 with a small round AMOLED screen. You’d start a r

You mentioned benchmarks don’t mean much in this area. What are the best models you found in this area? Personally, I’ve had the most success with GPT models using MCP servers for this task.

Given that Fable is the only one that fucking listens to me and writes proper Go code, that’s what I use for everything code-related. At least on my personal projects. If I don’t care about the code, i.e. I’m writing something quick just to

Really wish they'd release a version that works with the thinking disabled, so I could use it as a voice assistant. Thinking, even set to low, adds way too much latency to be useful for this task.

You just convinced me to buy a Pebble Index, which I was on the fence about. No idea it supported MCP servers.

I built an MCP server for my voice assistant. By default, Home Assistant offers a few tools to the models, but I felt like it was missing some, so I built it. It has tools to get real jokes, do math, unit conversion, get stock information,

I don't know about others, but I use JSON because it's in the standard Go library, and most of the times, I rather use something weird than add a dependency.

I paid an actual designer to come up with a design system for my project, which I then made Claude follow. Works like a charm. To give more details, the designer created the system in Figma and created a guideline document for a human to fo

With SourceHut banning projects that use LLMs[1], I’m looking to migrate this weekend. While I can host Forgejo just fine[2], doing so means no one will be able to contribute to the projects, since federation isn’t a thing yet. Heck, gettin

There is an application for Reachy that makes it so you can connect to Home Assistant, but it's broken and seems abandoned, so I forked it, fixed it, and customized it. That gets you 80% of the way. The rest is based on automations bui

Not much to say, really; it controls my house in Home Assistant using an LLM, and a STT/TTS server. It acts as the Home Assistant Voice Preview Edition, with a trigger word and whatnot. It's basically like giving an Alexa, Siri, o

I use one to control my house with Home Assistant. It's pretty great, and it was a lot of fun to assemble.

Fable is the only one that follows my instructions correctly, which I find quite important. It takes STYLE.md and SPEC.md as law, and code just like I would code, with the same mistakes and all. I just can't get Opus (Opus 5 is dumb as

Is there a plan somewhere that gives access to Kimi K3 and GLM-5.3? I was thinking of testing both to run security reviews of my code. I know OpenCode Go has both, but their limits seem kinda low, so I'm not sure how feasible it is to

While I daily use an iPhone now, my original Pixel Fold is still working and running GrapheneOS. Besides a bug caused by GrapheneOS where the outer screen wouldn’t work, it has been flawless, and I can’t really blame Google for that one. Gi

I review and approve every single line written by Claude because I want it to code like me, in my style. Yes, even with the bugs and problems I would introduce if I wrote it myself. Part of that is because I break from “idiomatic Go” from t

A voice assistant comes to mind. Ideally, it'd be local, but if you don't have the hardware you'll go with the cloud, in which case, the fastest, the better.

A Jellyfin or Plex server can be had for real cheap using used hardware. A Ryzen 3 build can be found for next to nothing here in Brazil[1], so I imagine it’d be even cheaper in the US. Add an old Quadro card for hardware decoding, or go wi

I self-host most of the things my family and I use on servers at home, and I document everything. Hopefully, the documentation will help. I have a “death instruction manual” document with all the data and information my wife will need to ac

This seems pretty awesome; being able to use an 8B model for tool calling would be perfect. Interested in using this for Home Assistant using a Mac Mini as my server. Does it run on MacOS? How is the latency when using the proxy? I’m using

The software seems pretty interesting. Is any integration with Home Assistant planned?
