Whats the frequency, Kenneth?
Cold war style number stations for good little bots built on Ethereum
On Diffusion
From early StyleGAN experiments and latent walks to Mercury 2's fast diffusion language model, and a simulation stripped down until its agents begin coining terms of their own.
Text your tools
Wiring a Farfield homelab up to iMessage with Photon and OpenPoke, so slash commands reach personal apps and talking to your agent feels like texting a friend instead of learning another tool.
Now Playing
Putting my Apple Music "Now Playing" on display with a Raspberry Pi and a 64x64 LED matrix.
Post-UI
Do we still need to ship a frontend?
Intern
The Autonomous Intern ships as a Raspberry Pi 5 in a desk-toy case running a stack I didn't pick. I flashed it to Debian Trixie, swapped the whole thing for the Hermes agent with its own built-in memory, and folded it all into one setup script.
Toy GPTs
Two tiny GPTs out of Karpathy's microGPT. One keeps its weights on Ethereum. The other holds a séance with dead presidents.
Adventures in Machine Vision
A Nat Friedman anecdote about an AI watching him drink water sent me digging for a spare Raspberry Pi. Now a camera and a sensor HAT watch my desk, a self-inflicted panopticon that logs who walks by and what the room is doing.
Farfield
Five small Go services, single binaries, content-addressed records, running on my homelab. The new backend for the site.
I Got a Common Turtle
I got a Common turtle from Claude Code's deterministic buddy system, so I brute-forced the generation algorithm.
Replacing a Rabbit's Brain: Connecting the R1 to Hermes
I replaced the OpenClaw agent on my R1 with Hermes, running locally on a MacBook Pro.
OpenClaw and the Rabbit R1
I got my Rabbit R1 talking to my Pinata-hosted agent. The agent did most of the work.
