About half-way through Charles Petzold's Code https://codehiddenlanguage.com/ and continuing studying linear algebra (weak points as a self-taught coder). Tidying up an e2ee, server/client, CRDT-backed, collaborative sync system I'm working on.

#474During my 45 min commute to work I listen to podcasts. Over the last year, like most here, I have been focusing on AI and agentic engineering. The podcasts that I enjoyed the most profiled research papers.
In April I started playing round with generating a semi-automated pipeline with python and Claude to generate a private podcast that does a deep dive into AI research papers. I think it is really cool. It fetches papers, scores them based on novelty, importance, relevancy, etc., and then writes the podcast script. It then generates the show by using Eleven Labs voices and then puts it in an RSS feed that Apple Podcasts is ok with.
My personal expense for generating this stuff is a sunk cost, so in May I opened it to everyone via https://paperdive.ai/ It was really fun working with Claude 4.7, 4.8 and even Fable 5, to make the site and refine the pipeline. Now I put out about 4-5 episodes a day. I listen to each one first, then promote the "staged" episodes to my "prod" feed.
This weekend I just add weekly and monthly reviews. Claude will write the review and another instance will generate a script the converts the review into something (hopefully) easier to listen to.
Here is last week: https://paperdive.ai/review/weekly-2026-06-14.html And here is the review for May: https://paperdive.ai/review/monthly-2026-05.html
Now, during my commute, I listen to the individual episodes and the reviews - I typically run them at 1.5x to 2x speed. I have become a much better user of the AI tools by keeping up with recent research.

#477Opening a new maker space in Berkeley, July 3rd Noon-Midnight. Founded by 2 guys in a basement 9 years ago. Now opening it up to the community of local makers as a non-profit 501(c)(3). 3D print, laser cutters, CNC, full e-bench. https://eastbaymakersclub.com
I'd be tempted to cross the bridge by a DMC2-mini...

#478A CPU only benchmark for typical data-science and ML tasks that I can run on a few different systems that will help me figure out what the next system I should buy is. I have no idea what Apple silicon is like for these tasks.

#479https://raizensoft.com - Game development tutorials and resources for code-centric frameworks (libGDX, LWJGL, MonoGame, etc). All articles are written by me and I've been running the site for 10 months to share my passion and technical knowledge. 200+ articles so far and I'm planning to add more.

#480Working on making my first video game (unannounced, https://gamedepartment.com). We're also spinning out some of our internal playtesting tools into a playtesting service that I think is going to be really cool.
