Current pfp is from a larger exhibit titled 'League of Dangu' in Tamsui. It is ridonkulous and beyond interpretation. I could explain it but I it wouldn't do it justice.

Pokegatchi? Not sure what to call it, but I saw someone mock up a similar idea for esp32s3, wanted to try it as an Apple Watch app. Ended up building an iOS simulator and widget version.
Might grab an older watch and put it in a keychain case.

Voice UI native metal iOS game, very loosely inspired by Seaman for the Dreamcast (1999).
Bunch of dumb ideas I wanted to try.
Took a stab at a gameplay loop using apple foundation models running on device and voice recognition.

If you have a developer account (or are brave enough) and want to play Pikmin 1 on macOS, iPad, iOS, etc. here is a native, performant source port.

Pikmin 1 source port. Runs on macOS, iPad, iPhone. Tested through Forest of Hope, Fixed a few compiler bugs that only affect late-game bosses, untested there. On-screen touch controls are... painful to use but controller plays great.

Fixing the last couple of TEV bugs for the decomp port of Gamecube Pikmin to macOS. My todo list on visuals are about 98%.
Optimistic about jaudio after that, and then just a whole lot of testing!

This is such a glorious mess I'm having such a blast. Metal shaders, probably not a single blend mode is correct. But it's pikmin 1 on macOS.

Using Claude Opus 4.6 and Codex 5.3 simultaneously. I can definitely tell which one is a front-end developer and which is a backend dev.
All the little bells are going off in my head, like "you can trust this guy to design your backend APIs but don't ask him to center a div"

Feed server effectively ran out of space. Probably need to migrate to a new server with ~1tb ssd, more time consuming than anything.
The upside is, after 3 days of downtime you can just truncate the likes table to free up space 😅
Will probably start working in a day or so.

Ran out of disk space. Actually ran out of disk space every day for the last 2 weeks to be more accurate!
Going to bite the bullet and rebuild the likes index. Feed will probably be offline for some period of time after the current cache expires. Could be an hours but my day is your night, right?

"Pornographic Images with Rivers"
This is what happens when you let an LLM label clusters based on alt tags, 0.001% of the time 🧐
www.transparent.se/image-cluste...
The alt tag is almost always "IEMBot Image TBD" so.... 🤡

Not this week, but I want to use what I've learned to create an open-source / self-hosted discover feed that various #Indiesky projects can use to remove one more piece of "relies on Bluesky" from their stack.
That makes sense, right?
pg tables get large but it could probably fit on an 8gb vm

I finished a new round of clustering images today before my flight, it's technically live but I think the old labels are cached until the cache expires 😆
It'll be a surprise when it goes live...
Maybe 30% label reuse, I had a substantially larger set this week vs last week. Must have missed some.

In all seriousness the demand despite lack of huge launch titles on day one implies players really wanted a Switch Pro.
(Just like how players said for years they explicitly wanted a Switch Pro)

Ack, found my mistake from 9 days ago 🙈
rb_jaccard_dist is DISTANCE not SIMILARITY, so "most similar" would be least distant. And.... it looks like I flipped this to DESC by mistake.
I bet I'll find more mistakes if I keep going 😅
