  1. With GitHub pausing Copilot Pro+ signups and Claude Code potentially leaving the Pro tier, I started building the AI coding tool I actually wanted to use. One that doesn't depend on cloud access staying cheap and available.

  2. I replicated an Anthropic experiment about emotion vectors in an 8B Llama3.1, and then hooked the model up to a weather API to make it happy/sad based on the weather.

  3. TL:DR - Remembered FPGA PCI boards being a big thing from my crypto days. Wondered if AMD Alveo V80 FPGA card could be used to approximate the performance of a Taalas HC1 (LLM-on-a-chip).
