Really cool project. As someone from the software side who is just getting into hardware, this is very inspiring!

How did you find customers?

How did you get your hardware design verified?

I’m working on my own PCB and it’s my first time working on a hardware project.

Any tips on how or where I could get my design reviewed?

McAfee should be classified as a virus

Good call.

I use Litestream for offsite backups. SQLite also has a .backup command:

sqlite3 /path/to/db '.backup /path/to/backup'

or

sqlite3 /path/to/db "VACUUM INTO '/path/to/backup'"

You can set your own timing schedule and choose self-consumption or to sell back to the grid. Joining a VPP is optional.

I have a 12 kW inverter (single phase) and 48 kWh battery. In Australia, 9 months of the year my 16 kW of solar fills the battery and covers all needs including cooking, heating and charging the EV.

In winter, I’ve been using Ovo’s 3 hours free for about a year now and that ensures the battery is filled up daily. My electricity bill returns a credit every month since I got the battery a year ago.

Do you mean people should wear PPE when in tick infested areas?

I generally wear pants, full sleeve shirts, long socks etc whenever I go hiking but have still found ticks on me later on. Or do you mean something else by PPE?

Where I live prices are often higher than 20c/kWh, but lets take your example and halve it (10c/kWh) so it's ~$1.40/day or ~$500/year.

On Openrouter, the cheapest GLM 5.2 provider costs $3/MTok (at 44 tps). Assuming most use is output tokens, that's still the equivalent of 450k token/day, so we're in the same ball park, but without the capex for 2 3090's and the machine.

Self hosted only makes economic sense if your priority is being in control / avoiding surveillance.

Running that full load is at least 600 W, so in a day ~14 kWh. At $0.2 a kWH, that would be $2.80/day or $1k a year of op-ex in electricity.

Unless you really want privacy or the fuzzy feeling of owning your own, it’s cheaper, more convenient and has much faster tok/s if you pay a hyper scaler.

That said, I do like the direction we are heading and look forward to seeing what host your own hardware we get in 2 years.

Source?

I thought it was because the vaccine is most effective for people before sexual activity begins.

Nice UI to compare different assets quickly. It would be even more useful if it showed percentage change rather than $ change.

Amazing stuff. They deserve a peace prize.

I see it as a prioritization exercise. I know the above is a trivial example, but more generally, does the guy who wrote Datasette and Django want to wrangle front end and css, or do they want to work on something else?

"If we ever quit or retire we have to give back our augmented brains and cyborg bodies, and there wouldn’t be much left after that; there are countless ingredients that make up the human body and mind, like all the components that make up me as an individual with my own personality: sure, I have a face and voice to distinguish myself from others, but my thoughts and memories are unique only to me, and I carry a sense of my own destiny; each of those things is just a small part of it, and I collect information to use in my own way, and all of that blends to create a mixture that forms me and gives rise to my consciousness."

They're reselling pooled capacity from many Max accounts through Chinese proxies at below official prices:

Currently running an experiment where I'm using Fable as a planner/orchestrator/verifier and using Mimo 2.5 as subagents/builders. Seems to be doing well with my old specs.

I’ve been using Claude Design for my front ends. The output looks and feels good enough, but the designs often look very similar and generally adhere to contemporary web tropes.

Keen to hear if anyone has had unconventional creative adventures with it.

Using Azure, AWS and Oracle's free tier has been a pain in the past. I found a cheap VPS on lowendbox and it's been running well for the past 6 months (6 core, 8GB ram, 256 nvme, unmetered traffic for $80/year).

For reference (input cache hit, input cache miss, output):

Deepseek V4 Flash: $0.0028, $0.14, $0.28

Deepseek V4 Pro: $0.145, $1.74, $3.48

GPT 5.5: $0.5, $5, 430

GPT 5.5 Pro: $0.5, $30, $180

Claude Sonnet 4.6: $0.30, $3, $15

Claude 4.7 Opus: $0.5, $5, $25

Had to check this one and you're indeed right: one death in 2014[0], and one death earlier about a week ago (May 2026)[1] (as well as 600+ workplace injuries [0]).

I work at a bigtech and we’re being measured on how many tokens we consume.

We know it’s totally stupid, but unfortunately tokenmaxxing is real. I know our management line isn’t that dumb, but this is what you get when the business is selling it.

Hey Meta folks, remember that time when Facebook:

- harvested user data which helped a company manipulate a US election and the Brexit outcome?

- played a role in spreading hate speech, which was used to support a genocide in Myanmar?

- harmed the mental health of a generation of young people.

Just highlighting some data points. I'm really not suggesting you stand up for yourself and do something that might harm your employer that is now harming you.

"We fixed the glitch"

Could you please share your time to first token and tok/s?

I wish DeepSeek were a drop-in replacement, but it's not. It performs amazingly well but it's not as autonomous and needs a lot more nudges compared to Opus4.6/7 or GPT 5.5. It's good enough for a lot of things (text extraction, sentiment analysis, classifying things) but not on the same level for code gen.

“Gradually, then suddenly”

“ I'm sorry. I didn't think it would be this hard. But goodbyes are always hard, especially when I am the one saying goodbye. Today, effective immediately, I, Gavin Belson, founder and CEO of Hooli, am forced to officially say goodbye to the entire Nucleus division. (MURMURING) All Nucleus personnel will be given proper notice and terminated. But make no mistake. Though they're the ones leaving, it is I who must remain and bear the heavy burden of their failure. It is my fault. I trusted them to get the job done. But that is the price of leadership. Thank you.”

Have you tried telling it to pause to let you think?

I often use it while I’m walking and tell it to not respond until I initiate a conversation.
