[ Video ] Stories From The Vibe Coding Trenches – When the Agent (Claude) Deletes your Files
During development of one of my apps, Zen Tales, my coding agent (Claude, bak) deleted some audio files I already paid for. A difficult lesson.

During development of one of my apps, Zen Tales, my coding agent (Claude, bak) deleted some audio files I already paid for. A difficult lesson.
Second installment of my stories from the vibe coding trenches is about a mindset shift: nothing is difficult anymore. Listen to your users.
Nvidia Nemotron Dory 1.0 4B is a surprisingly good model that can be run locally, on a 16GB MacBook Pro, for coding and text generation.
The 4th video in the series about what models can you realistically run on a 16GB MacoBook tests Liquid AI LFM 2.5. A solid model.
Artificial Intelligence might be replaced by Super Intelligence. It's just a word play, for now, but it may shape how we call it too.
Setting up local AI on a 16GB MacBook involves using optimized binaries for the Metal architecture. Start with MLX-serve. Optionally OpenWebUI
This week I'm testing Xiaomi MiMo V2.6, Qwen 9b distill, on a 16GB M1 MacBookPro. It works good enough for text generation and light coding
This week I'm testing Google Gemma 4 E4B on a 16GB M1 MacBookPro. It works surprisingly well for text generation and even light coding.
This is a brief test of a heavily quantized version of Qwen 3.8 27B, fitting in 7GB on disk. Impressive, but not 98% of the original [...]
In the final episode I talk about open weight model harnesses, or how to actually talk to your local AI. From llama-cpp chat to Pi, or [...]
In this episode I talk about running an open weights model locally. Two main hardware lines: Apple Silicon and NVIDIA, both good.
Episode 2 of the mini series about how to choose an open weights model, this time how to choose an open weights model provider.
How to choose and open weights model: the difference between slow, dumb and laggy - and state of the art inference, like Claude or Grok.
AI watermarking is not baked into model weights, it works at the generation level, by sampling different tokens, paired with a private key.
Running local private AI models is now realistic, affordable, and urgent. Here's what hardware to use, which open-source models are ready, and why you shouldn't wait.
Flight Lens computes a real-time traffic pulse for global aviation. Search flights, set alerts for delays and prices, and track live aircraft. Free on iOS.
Calculate the life hours cost of any purchase, install financial habits in 15 days, and track your financial vitals. Hacking Habits - the app.
Light Njoy transforms your iPhone into an intelligent ambient lamp with AI colors, breathing exercises, and shareable light sequences. Free on the App Store.
Introducing AIGernon, a lightweight always-on AI agent with cognitive framework awareness. Built on ADD principles, it adapts to how you think. Open source.
How using Claude skills reduced my ADD framework's integration overhead by 94%. From monolithic megaprompt to dynamic, modular architecture. Open source.
