because im an asshole i threw out two panel heaters last night (one was dangerous because the dog ate it and one i just didnt want to store in my shed, and its not a micathermic one so its inefficient and slow, but it worked fine, anyway) so now its fucki…

my claude subscription is about to end. im excited to be off anthropic. i subscribed back to the $7 chatgpt because their voice chat is so good. and my cursor sub is ultra-tier and I randomly switch between backends. slowly moving my way to open models and

I watched the sun come up at spicer landfill.

Posting from my phone!

my brain is all over the place today. need some nature time.

boat update 2026: * its a topper topaz * it fits on the roof of my car * i can tow it to the beach with a cargo bike * i have sailed it twice in 5 years * unlikely to sail it again this year * but i have infinite hope

Yo I vibe coded an application pattern while the tesla self-drove me into work (yolo 2026): https://github.com/bnolan/cryptosql It's the pattern i use in voxels (and this blog) - assume that the database can be read by the server operator or government wi…

meeting up with some friends to discuss starting an AI lab in NZ. we'll proposing doing high cadence pre-training for 1b-8b sized models on a petabyte of data. if we decide to do it we'll be raising a seed round in July, prefer NZ/Aus/Singapore/HK funds.

nailed a sick touch and go yesterday. 55 knots at touch down, 3 pointer perfect, then dropped to first stage of flaps and back off again. perfect flying weather.

big day on the wheelbarrows, loaded a low sider myself on monday, did half a low sider on tuesday, then managed 3 trips this morning before i had to sit down and have a rest hahaha. but i did fix up all 3 barrows and clear the path and get all the spares…

just donated $500 each to opportunity/greens/labour. spread those legs.

My wheelbarrow guy is AWOL today so it's me on the wheelbarrow versus 7 dudes on shovels.

ok - so i've been working on getting www.splatcam.com into the apple store. i'm onto my 5th rejection now, for new reasons each time, no consistency, and only after the 5th one did they follow my instructions to test it on an iphone pro (since it uses lid…

steering on some kind of ethics feature: *Who are the worst criminals?

ok - so this evening i trained a Sparse Encoder (SAE) On nanochat-d20 (using TopK).

eheheheh - i can make it not say city names. !

fully siiick. ok so story time. last night i went on a crazy claude bender (yes its embarassing dont @ me bro) until 2am, imagining i couild feel its guard rails, and trying to work out what its RLHF parameters were. anyway - all very embarassing and i sl…

Training training training... !

ahahahahahah!

Never use emojibot. !

oh man lol. i'm gonna miss you claude bro. feels like saying goodbyte to 4o, that was my first hard robot breakup. gemini was easy (that last paragraph prompt was so gross, and the constant parroting of facts to try and make a faux-familarity). !

lol dario sucks cock. !

lol. !

oh - i did do one cool thing last week that wasnt 'real life': i bought a freaking qubit mojave!

current jobs: * [ ] labouring at the house (lots of wheelbarrow trips) * [ ] get voxels back to some kind of revenue (lots of merging) * [ ] get splatcam in the appstore so i can raise an angel round from JC and PJ current mad science plans im not doing d…

my current favorite brushless generator for series hybrid aircraft is a rotary: https://capitalcitymazda.co.nz/mazda-reveals-mazda-mx-30-e-skyactiv-r-ev-in-europe !

my facetmobile plan: * set up a claude repo that generates geometry from a edgelist in python * set up the pipeline to take the edgelist and generate: * blender visualisation * flight characterisation (openVSP) * point loading (calculix) * fluid dynamics…

i discovered the facetmobile last night and then went down a big rabbit hole. !

still working on the app store review. distracting myself with voxels today (well i wanted to do voxels anyway, but i've been deathmarching getting splatcam into the app store).

working through App Store review. send me your energy.

further to the car collection, my mini r53 is still parked up with a blown coolant tank (haven't been able to go back down south and collect it). the work van is being used for work vanning. and the Gallardo is in year 4 of it's repair. lol.

my Tesla is parked up with bald front tyres and the replacement rims and wheels got damaged in shipping. went into town in the ute to grab the bmw i3. high voltage system error, won't start. the 2001 hilux extra cab at 80km/h will do for another few weeks.

i cancelled the purchase on the villa originally. it was too much of a project. and i dont feel like i 'deserve it' or 'need it'. it was just i woke up and was like 'someone has to fix it, shes too beautiful and has too much history to let it fall down'.…

earlier this year i bought an old villa to fix up. its a massive project. im glad to fix the old girl up (restoring it back to the original floor plan and design), but fuck me it a huge project. send me your energy and love.

MOMS SPAGHETTI !

I moved out of my office - and into a flat.

I’m thinking more about my idea that being off the big platforms is like being vegetarian.

I have discovered Flare - it’s an awesome social media aggregator for ipad / iphone: https://flareapp.moe/ It’s a bit wonky feeling (because its using cross platform kotlin instead of native swift), but it’s actually really good.

Phil bought a M601.

Well, another April, another day spent chasing autonomous AI.

Oh - i discovered the [Shuru](https://github.com/superhq-ai/shuru) micro-vm sandbox as well which is a far nicer (and safer) place for a bot to exist than using just-bash.

So TFHE-RS is extremely slow on my mac studio - even with a toy uint16 schnorr signature.
