5+ min ago (321+ words) Most people think running AI coding models locally is confusing, slow, and not worth it'here's the simple playbook for private, fast dev that works " You don't need the cloud to ship faster. You need control, privacy, and zero surprise bills. I learned this after testing seven open models on a normal laptop. Local wins when latency, security, and cost matter. Your code never leaves your machine, so risk drops fast. Tokens are free after setup, so usage can scale without panic. Modern 15B70B models handle code assist, tests, and docs well. Example. On a 16GB RAM laptop with a 15B model, code completions arrived in 0.9 seconds on average. Unit tests generated in eight seconds per file. We cut review time by 32 percent and saved 400 dollars a month in API fees. Setup took 45 minutes using a container and a GPU driver. " A simple way…...

13+ min ago (196+ words) This post breaks down how we deploy TensorFlow Lite Micro (TFLM) on ESP32-S3 to run real-time wake word detection and other edge-AI workloads. If you're exploring embedded ML on MCUs, this is a practical reference. ESP32-S3 brings a useful combination of: It's powerful enough to run quantized CNNs for audio, IMU, and multimodal workloads while staying power-efficient. ESP-DSP supports optimized FFT, DCT, and filtering primitives. 2. Feature extraction (MFCC) MFCC remains the standard for low-power speech workloads: On ESP32-S3, MFCC extraction typically takes 23 ms per frame. 3. Compact CNN model Model size after int8 quantization: 100300 KB. Convert & quantize: 4. Deployment to MCU Convert .tflite " C array: Load + run with TensorFlow Lite Micro: Because the workflow is generalizable, simply swapping the model unlocks new tasks: Environmental sound classification Glass break, alarm, pet sound detection (812 FPS depending on model) Vibration & anomaly detection Predictive maintenance for pumps, motors, or fans....

14+ min ago (450+ words) We're entering a new era of company building, one that doesn't look anything like the venture-funded, 200-person startup model of the past decade. The next generation of billion-dollar companies won't be built in glass offices, with huge teams, layers of management, and complex org charts. They will be built by 5 people and AI. This isn't a slogan. It's the new economic reality shaped by automation, intelligence, and leverage. Let me explain why this shift is happening, and why it's inevitable. 1. AI Has Collapsed the Cost of Building Products Ten years ago you needed: Today, a 5-person team with AI can: A small, smart team is now more powerful than a 200-person team from 2015. It's not headcount anymore. It's intelligence per person. 2. AI Gives Founders Leverage That Was Impossible Before The most important word in the next decade is leverage. AI…...

But sooner or later, a question comes up: If you have ever wondered about this, you are not alone. This article breaks down the real story behind React and ReactDOM; how they interact, why they were separated from the beginning, and how this architecture powers everything from web apps to mobile apps to VR. React is often described as a view library'but that description does not do it justice. React is the architect of your UI. It understands: React is extremely smart. It reasons about your UI with near-perfect efficiency. But here is the twist: React does not know how to talk to the…...

30+ min ago (586+ words) This is another installment in my Experience Series, where I share detailed reviews of the tools and software I use daily. Previously, I've covered topics like the Zed code editor and Brave browser in video format, but I thought it was time to bring this experience to written form as well. Today, I want to discuss a tool that many of my viewers have asked about but few truly understand'Mini Micro. Despite being relatively unknown in mainstream game development circles, it's a tool that has significantly shaped my approach to game development. Before we begin, I want to clarify that this represents my personal experience. Your mileage may vary depending on your background, preferences, and use cases. My approach to tools has always leaned toward simplicity and minimalism. When I began my game development journey, I was looking for an…...

40+ min ago (1616+ words) Have you noticed a subtle yet profound shift in how we interact with technology? Gone are the days of clunky keyword typing; instead, we're engaging in natural, conversational exchanges with our digital assistants. We no longer punch in "Paris weather"; we simply ask, "What's the weather like in Paris this afternoon?" This isn't merely a minor convenience; it's a quiet revolution reshaping the landscape of online visibility. With over 8.4 billion voice assistants active globally and close to one in five individuals (20.5% of worldwide users) embracing this technology, overlooking this trend means losing access to an ever-growing segment of your potential audience. This is where Voice Engine Optimization (VEO) steps in, poised to become the indispensable discipline of 2025. Far from being a mere appendage to traditional SEO, VEO represents a completely reimagined approach to digital communication. Join us as we explore…...

41+ min ago (559+ words) If you've ever set up a test database, you know the pain: This "data" is useless for realistic testing. You can't demo your app to stakeholders, test search algorithms, validate UI formatting, or catch edge cases. I'm building SynthDB to solve this - a zero-config database seeder that reads your PostgreSQL schema and generates statistically realistic, semantically coherent data. The project is in active development and I'm looking for contributors! The key insight: column names contain semantic information. merchant_name " should be a company name support_email " should be a support email (matching the company) mac_address " should be a valid MAC address birth_date " should be a realistic age By analyzing column names and types together, we can infer context and generate appropriate data. How It Works (Current Implementation) SynthDB works in six stages: Schema Introspection - Read tables, columns, constraints Dependency Analysis - Topological sort for foreign key order…...

43+ min ago (981+ words) I have been fooling around a lot with ai recently, and I thought I would write something about what I've been doing. There are a few things that I've been doing, and they're all fascinating. This is part one of a small series that I have created to walk through the process I went through to get decent code. I had a crazy idea. I thought to myself, let's write something that will go through my git repos and automagially update my dockerfiles so that the dockerfile uses a fixed but more recent version of the base image. Most Dockerfiles have a fixed base image line that looks something like this: This is painful to trawl through and update. Not least because I don't actually know what the latest version is, and I'm not particularly keen on just using the…...
