NoiseCraft: a Browser-Based Visual Programming Language for Sound & Music pointersgonewild.com/2021/12…

More fuel for open models and local models to catch up 👌

I added tool use 🔧 to my Rust-native implementation of LFM2.5-8B-A1B and published it as a cargo crate 📦@liquidai github.com/maximecb/bebelm/b…

Fable just released. Meanwhile I've been trying to use Claude Code's remote control feature for the last 3 days, and it's broken. CC gets stuck as soon as I try to approve something from my phone.

I put together a minimalistic pure-Rust, CPU-only implementation of the recent LFM2.5-8B-A1B language model from @liquidai that you can directly link into your Rust projects😎 github.com/maximecb/bebelm

This is one of those things that's obvious in hindsight, but there are implications if you are ever asking an LLM to make "random choices" or pick among items in a list: sanand0.github.io/llmrandom/

Trying out Qwen 3.5 0.8B to see what it's capable of. Has anyone found viable uses for tiny LLMs with ~1B parameters or less?

The thing is: if you maximize trying to make everyone happy, you end up optimizing for the lowest common denominator. That's not good taste. Good taste is opinionated and it upsets many people when confronted with it. Makes it very difficult to build good taste as a product.

I tried to get Claude Code to recreate the Quake start map in my game engine but it really struggled. I even gave it access to a screenshot feature and the original Quake map source. Neither was helpful. I think CC can't process visual information very well.

I had Opus 4.7 build me a little castle in my custom map format. It came out pretty nice 👌 No manual edits: github.com/maximecb/tinkerfi…

Hard to understand why, in 2026, audio quality on phone calls is so bad. Super heavy compression, ultra low bitrates, often hard to make out what people are saying... In a world where everything works over IP, why is the default 8 kilobits per second or some shit?

One shot attempt at 3D pelican on a bicycle (Claude Sonnet 4.6, 17m13s)

I had Claude vibe code some simple 3D worlds in my SDF game engine, in a custom textual map format. Not bad! 😆

A little update on Tinkerfield, my toy 3D game engine / construction game based on signed distance fields :)

I'm finding that asking LLMs to debug 3D graphics problems can be an experience in frustration. They can't see the program running so you have to describe the issue to them. They speculate as to the cause of the issue and are often confidently wrong.

There's many reasons to intentionally minimize the number of external packages your software depends on. pointersgonewild.com/2026-05…

For anyone still doubting that humanoid robots are happening and will provide value.

Which coding agent do you use for your personal projects, and why?

Jensen is one the smartest and most far seeing folks the world. "If an AI scientist warns people that AI is going to permeate across radiology and radiologists are going to get wiped out, it might seem helpful but it's hurtful. If we convince everybody not to be radiologists and we now need radiologists, that actually is hurtful to society. "It is hurtful to convince all the young college graduates not to study software engineering because we are going to need more software engineers than ever. That's hurtful." "Scaring people with nonsensical things, which are not going to happen, that this is an existential threat, there's a 20% chance that is is existential, that's ridiculous. "That it's going to wipe out 50% of college level jobs. "That is it going to completely destroy democracy. "These kinds of comments are not helpful. They are made by...CEOS. And you become a CEO, maybe you adopt a God complex and somehow you know everything." Brutal. And right.

Passive dynamic stability. Intelligence in mechanism: no sensors, no feedback control.
