The boom loom boss was a winner of the 2025 Core77 Design Award for Toys and Play.

It's like an analog computer of weaving.

If you have any experience with weaving you will understand the importance of shed formation. The key innovation is the heddle mechanism which affords great efficiency with weft pattern making through rotation of a pattern bar allowing the weaver to focus on other variables like yarn selection or design sequence. There is even a web app pattern picker to plan out designs developed with the help of a mathematician [1]

Perhaps other similar ideas might be something like tablet weaving [2] or Der Weberknecht [3]

The primary difference is the quick prep and setup time with the boom loom and it's near instant to develop modular samplers [4]

If anyone knows of any other hacking mechanical weaving machines like the boom loom; please share!

I like my shiny local gewgaw as much as the next person https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLM/

but I find it curious that the many will always pay for the few https://youtu.be/y12yZ7bQizk?si=Mbgg-F7IP8HJXJPz

and at what cost ? https://youtu.be/-sNKfRq1oKg?si=6m8pVM9tvawohUbm

Why not just mechanical turk the codebase? Lotsa jobs even with LLM augmentation at current state.

Where is the long term thinking of utility vs cost?

Until AI can solve its own energy generation issues, the hype is gross.

Thankfully I'll be long dead (hopefully) before a local AQI > 500 is considered the new normal common good trade for high fidelity personalized deep fake pr0n

or the cure for cancer at US healthcare billable rates.

"All of our future books will involve AI." It is antithetical to the premise of the book (classic programming projects!) that they agreed to publish.

I hope this trend is not industry wide. A publisher chasing fads and trends over enduring quality, so sad. I wish I knew who the publisher was to avoid but I can foresee their pivot to AI authors with titles like "From Zero to Hero, ChatGPT 5.2 Top Prompting Secrets for Dummies"

Glad this story got on HN, it moved the heart and I hope it spreads in the little openings of our lives. Nothings perfect, but day by day, more kindness and care, we can share https://youtu.be/wlpcFnOPH2k?si=C1Wa1cviJMa1zlYm

Thank you, finally a SRS implementation I can use for my plain text files. Very nice! I had Gemini make a deck from https://github.com/eudoxia0/hashcards , hashcard_tutorial.md and after correcting my deck to account for escaping the < and > with \< and \>; on the second run ($ hashcards drill --card-limit=10 ./)dealt me all the correct cards, like a self QA I really like the keyboard shortcut of space and 1,2,3,4 for making deck reviewing quick work.

transparent leadership. In my book, a good leader ...

I practice this in my day job, as in that is the default mode for continued employment. Not sure how these practices are new. I wonder if it is a generational thing.

Enjoy Ollama CLI so the output can be redirected or piped; definitely a useful feature.

Nice filter of models supported: https://tenstorrent.com/developers but needs that another filter for Blackhole RISCV p100a p150; my guess going by memory https://tenstorrent.com/hardware/blackhole it is up there with n300 https://docs.tenstorrent.com/aibs/wormhole/specifications.ht...

Fall indeed. The ultimate state hack and this story is not even ranking high on HN.

I use w3m with vim https://github.com/yuratomo/w3m.vim but just reinstalled lynx from this post after a couple of decades. This has helped with vim bindings: https://www.fuw.edu.pl/~jt/lynx-FAQ/kbd_130.html basically o for options then on for on for keyboard input > VI keys. C-f works for page forward :-)

Challenger: "A lot of people just had this gut feeling that this just doesn't feel right."

Had an ex who did Peace Corp in Paraguay and first introduced me to it. Hated it: bitter, astringent; didn't really care for the green version. Later in life came across mate again from Argentine culture and fell hard. While I liked sharing, I did enjoy drinking solo more. It really made me super productive at work during problem solving and was an all-day drink unlike tea or coffee. Moderation is key: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/es303494s I had to attenuate my drinking after 3 yrs of my favorite brand, Rosamonte Seleccion Especial. I've since moved more to coffee but there is still a lingering tender spot for my beloved mate.

Here's an idea: disconnect from online and reconnect with nature: go outside and proceed for the longest distance comfortable to a park, a tree, a weed by the sidewalk, lichen on a rock; anything growing and not human. [1]
