10k fun run in 70 minutes. Getting this under 60min is within scope.
What *is* the deal with Brewers Fayre's menu? If you order from the grill, like a mixed grill, you get a choice of 1 egg or 3 eggs. 3 eggs!!! I thought it would be 2 eggs but, no, they served 3. Yes, I ate the whole plate. Gastonmaxxing.
Weekend project time with Android kernel stuff and the AI bubble has already burst. A single prompt has cost between £2 and £3 with GPT-5.4 in VS Code. I'm trying to leverage the free version of Copilot (web interface), which does offer models for fast-thinking or deep-thinking, but progress has slowed down a bit.
Trying to start an Android-based hardware project and this specific model I fought eBay sellers for cannot be rooted.
@heyandras Senior engineers deciding whether to allow limits:
I'm coming for you MOOCs! (The content of questions is all placeholders for now, testing the user experience.) github.com/J-Tynan/Interv…
Had an idea over the weekend and started building something, an interview prep PWA that I can add my own questions based on the projects and experience I have gained so far over the past few months. It's mostly scaffolding with sample questions. Need to work on the question & answer flow next before publishing.
Winter truly begins when you light the fire.
I have added an 'Export as PNG' button to my fractal explorer and now it can export beautiful images of fractals. Now with 3 different settings: HD, Ultra 2x and Ultra 4x. Currently it only works for the viewport, the size of your browser window. But soon there will be a feature to export at a custom resolution. For a live demo, choose Fractal Explorer at j-tynan.github.io/Software-Toys-…
I had always wanted to build a fractal explorer and despite the "simple, elegant" maths at the heart, this was beyond my capabilities. I would still like to know *more* so I will be adding more to this software toy soon. Built with majority of help from Grok and a little bit of Copilot.
Building some weekend projects in 1 weekend. Only got 1 so far but need some tweaks before I can upload to GitHub.
Good news on a Tuesday!? chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src… This means we can start converting old and new photo files to JPEG XL, confident they are more likely to be displayed accurately on everyone else's devices.
Part of the fun of Linux is turning mistakes into learning opportunities. Like when you run updates on your Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W and accidentally bork system. It's fine. This became a chance to explore other OS' for the Pi. I used the GUI once and stuck with SSH so choosing a headless OS has saved over 1GB of storage and some overhead. Maybe enough to squeeze another running service.
