OpenAI quietly shipped GPT-4.1 and two smaller siblings straight to the API this week, so I spent an evening dumping fourteen years of this blog into the cheapest one just to see what a million-token context window is actually good for.
Three weeks into using terminal-based AI coding tools like Claude Code and Cursor, some real notes on what works, what's overhyped, and the one habit that's saved me from a bad diff more than once.
Karpathy coined "vibe coding" a couple weeks ago and it's everywhere now. Here's how I actually use Cursor and Claude day to day, and the one bug that taught me to keep reading my diffs.
Skipping the DeepSeek app and the stock market panic entirely, I just ran R1's distilled models locally with Ollama on a three-year-old MacBook. Here's what that actually looked like.
A hands-on walkthrough of pulling DeepSeek R1's distilled models onto a regular laptop with Ollama, plus honest notes on speed, heat, and whether it's actually any good.
A weekend spent getting DeepSeek R1's distilled models running locally with Ollama on a regular MacBook, and why watching it think out loud in a terminal beat the Stargate headlines.
I spent part of the holiday break getting a local chatbot running on a six-year-old ThinkPad, and it actually works well enough that I've mostly stopped opening ChatGPT.
A practical walkthrough of the custom feeds, starter packs, and mute settings that finally made my Bluesky timeline worth opening every morning.
