something I'm finding frustrating recently is

a) I feel like LLMs have helped me learn some programming things that were hard for me to learn previously
b) I'm tired of LLMs being relentlessly pushed on us and do not want to participate in that by talking about my positive experiences
c) there are also lots of hazards associated with using LLMs to generate code that are not that easy to avoid

Finally tidied up and published my shared doodling #arduino sketch for the Cheap Yellow Display #cyd. Flash two (or more) systems and what's drawn on one screen appears on all of them -- or send an emoji instantly. Uses an ad-hoc network so setup is unnecessary. Pull requests welcome! https://github.com/gabe-sky/CYD_Doodler #esp32 #games

Never really played with the ESP32 before but my brother likes them so I figured I'd try a couple Cheap Yellow Displays.

They have an ad-hoc networking mode, ESP-NOW, that makes it easy to broadcast stuff. So here are two of them broadcasting a sort of shared whiteboard to each other.

Let's see where this new rabbit hole goes!

The "Screaming Gummy Bear" chemistry demonstration involves dropping a gummy bear into a test tube of molten potassium chlorate (KClO₃), where the sugar reacts violently with the released oxygen producing bursts of flame and gas.

Looks like my weekend plans are updated -- going to be playing with the Reachy Mini some more! https://huggingface.co/blog/clem/reachymini-appstore

Experimenting with this ink I found
More aperiodic spectre tiles. No real tricks, it searches for an identical subtree, then zooms there. Not periodic, of course, but it appears so if you loop the video.
If You Stop Hiring Juniors, Your Senior Engineers Own You

The 'AI replaces junior engineers' argument ignores basic economics. Junior employees aren't just cheap labor. They're salary insurance, pipeline protection, and the only hedge companies have against a senior workforce that increasingly doesn't need the job.
