I tried nono to limit commands an agent can run but that proved to be cumbersome. I ended up creating multiple logins on a Linux system. I used my developer account to clone git re…

I upgraded my home hobby electronics bench with equipment using SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments). Looking for others' experiences and suggestions. So far I was…

This looks extremely helpful, thanks!

So, I wanted to get better at Sudoku puzzles, and I watched a lot of strategy videos, but I just could not grok them. Also I installed a bunch of free Sudoku games on my phone and …

Have you considered providing APIs (possibly MCP) to a Wiki for agents. I've done this, and after solving some timing issues with concurrent page updates, I was able to get agents …

Understood, and I like a challenge. I've also solved some tough engineering problems in the past (before AI). With AI it seems (and I emphasize seems) that I can tackle much harder…

The value proposition I am pursuing is not faster speed, but increased throughput (and possibly reduced kWh). I'm trying to understand the benefits of streaming expert weights thro…

In my fork, I've added ./experiments where I hacked together a shell wrapper for a no_std Rust app to implement head - . help > help.txt /head -2 help.txt works. This shows how I c…

Sorry, this was supposed to be a Show HN: post. Too late for me to edit the title. Maybe I will resubmit correctly in the future.

Can you suggest what circuits? examples?

But I can afford my already purchased drawer full of cheap FPGAs for experiments. I guess I am too risk adverse to bet $10,000 on an ASIC run (having no experience doing that and n…

I am doing the initial work on many core dual CPUs. I already have systems with large system RAM and older GPUs with less VRAM, and large SAS HDs, fast SSDs running large open weig…

Tang nano FPGAs are around $10, the idea being to couple with a $25 ARM or RISC-V dev board and offload the math from a streaming store. Coupling this with an older 8GB VRAM board …

With RAM price inflation, I wonder if FPGAs can be used to offload inference processing without keeping weights in RAM? The available RAM would be for activations, KV Cache, contex…

nice. I like the metaprogramming and the error handling.

so the built-in nano helps a lot, since the help output scrolled off the screen. I tried to use head, less, and more. I could redirect help output to a file (but until I found nano…

My AI wrote scripts to launch and attach. I was able to do a lot login in as root. One bug: when I run the ring3 demo, the shell stops accepting input.

I have forked, cloned, and built (had to pin a specific nightly Rust for it to build). When I run it, it crashed at login; I reran it with VNC, was able to login as root, issue ls …

yes, works now, thanks

I have also developed a preemtive-multitasking O/S (and some programming languages to build this and apps) targeted for embedded soft cpu (not x86). I build tools in Rust, too. I j…

I've been playing with makerlisp.com's COR24-TB 24-bit RISC soft CPU development board. I developed a Rust emulator for this ISA. The Rust emulator can run inside of a Yew/WASM app…

How does your Engram compare to the Engram in this paper? https://arxiv.org/abs/2601.07372

The conclusion seems to be that very large models are okay or better at literate programming than medium sized models. My experience is similar. I use ChatGPT, Claude, and Z.ai GLM…
