I needed to generate a large number of images using Nano Banana 2, using reference images. Playing with OpenRouter I discovered that most image gen models use similar params, so I made something I could use in a pinch to work with said params, without bothering with OpenRouter's playground.

Children's Commissioner also furious with Ofcom over a string of failures
We built Concorde, an open-source framework giving an organization one shared agent that's controlled by a group, rather than just one person. This is pretty cool because shared agents can bring us closer to single entities doing what took a whole organization to do, kind of moving us in the direction of the trend of the rise of the solo founder. Saying that entire organisations could be just 1 agent might sound sort of anti-democratic, but this is the reality of where things are already heading. The "organisation" only exists because humans hold limited context. agents don't have that limit.…

As FromSoftware’s new multiplayer game The Duskbloods nears release, the legendary game director behind Dark Souls talks connection, pessimism and of course, feet Since 2020’s Demon’s Souls, Japanese video game director Hidetaka Miyazaki has shown the world a different way to think about game design. His games defy convention with punishing fights, obscure rules, and unknowable, inhospitable worlds. The “Soulslike” genre – named after Demon’s Souls and its sequel Dark Souls – is now ubiquitous, influencing multimillion-sellers from God of War and Star Wars: Jedi to Hollow Knig…

I built a cross platform amateur radio program using the egui framework. It was originally built as quite frankly I got annoyed with having so many different programs installed to listen to and send radio signals. If you have a cheap SDR radio dongle like the RTL based ones or even better an AirspyHF+ Discovery laying around then give radio bench a try. Bonus points if you are a licensed ham and have a transceiver. The key idea behind the software is to have a much more realistic and calm workspace for making contacts. The all singing, all dancing programs with the windows 95 style ui are jus…

PicoLM is an LLM inference engine written in C99. It currently supports llama-2, GPT-2, Qwen 3.6/3.8(+MoE) and Gemma-3n models. Significant amount of work went into CPU SIMD acceleration/testing/correctness, and wide cross-platform availability with constant testing to never lose portability (from DOS through OS/X 10.4 to modernity). CUDA/HIP is supported, and accelerated IMMA kernels are available. More work needs to be done on prompt processing speed, but text generation is quite fast already. GGUFs are mmap()'ed, not preloaded, so it's much more friendly to RAM usage than llama.cpp. Extern…

Outrage grows over US strike that killed four people and wounded 67 at a wedding party in Kuhestak.
I built an AI course builder that helps you create hands-on course materials, interactive tutorials, exercises, and automatically checks the work submitted by students. It should feel like Claude Code or Codex for building courses. Most AI course generators stop after producing a syllabus or a collection of text. I wanted the agent to work on the actual course. After giving it a prompt, learning objectives, or a syllabus, the course builder can create and edit: - Modules, lessons, and learning paths - Coding, SQL, multiple-choice, checkbox, and written exercises - Starter code, public example…
mitmproxy cannot recreate the client's TLS, it uses python's TLS stack, so even with a real browser behind it, your connection looks like that of a python script. To solve this, I've created mitmcloak. It reads the client's ClientHello and HTTP/2 preface in real time and mirrors it with httpcloak (my other tls client library), no capture or fine tuning of the preset required. H3 is mirrored as well though QUIC only reaches the proxy in wireguard/transparent/reverse mode as a proxy setting doesn't redirect UDP by default. mitmcloak is an addon to mitmproxy, not a fork, so your setup stays exac…
