I'm a 47yo full stack developer that's investing all his free time (and not only that) into thinkering, building, researching with AI. Some days ago I found a paper about distilling kokoro on a ~9MB with around 25x RTF. It was very interesting and since the experiment was on a single english voice and I'm Italian, I wanted to see if I could manage to distill it in my language but the training recipe wasn't replicable. So I spent some days researching, experimenting and found the why and even some more tweaks to improve the overall result. The demo I linked shows you how close it is to the oriβ¦

Endo is a Higher-Order Harness (HOH). From the easiest concept to understand to the more complex ones, Endo gives you: A single, simple UI to use any agent provider with your existing subscriptions, and hot-swap agents right in the middle of a session. An orchestration layer, which I call HOH, allowing arbitrary composition of agents to achieve any workflow. A fun case I tried was asking Fable and Astra to mock a presidential debate. * An agent protocol that abstracts any agent. The key insight here is that every LLM is an agentβinstead of treating the LLM as just one node inside an extβ¦

when I started using coding agents heavily, they began creating tons of Git worktrees. different tools like Codex, Claude Code, T3 Code, Orca, Superset, and others all put their worktrees in different directories, which made them pretty hard to find. I know you can just ask an agent to find them, and a lot of people do exactly that. but I wanted a deterministic solution that wouldn't depend on an agent getting things right or waste extra tokens. so.. I built Lopper! it's a tool that searches for git repositories and worktrees across different directories on your machine and shows them all inβ¦

When Apple left Clozure Common Lisp behind by switching to Apple Silicon, I started kicking around the idea of building my own Lisp/Objective-C bridge by combining Apple Documentation, the clang AST, and introspection of the Objective-C runtime.

So I let that idea rattle around in my skull for a while β and eventually it bounced up against the memory of Ck (Curses-based Tk). Anybody remember that? I liked Tcl/Tk and [incrβ¦
