QR Code

https://qr.jim.sh/ -- This is a real TrueType/OpenType font that turns bracketed text into QR codes during text shaping. There is no separate image generation or preprocessing step: type text like [hello], apply the font, and the font's built-in OpenType rules render the QR code. Because the QR code is still text, you can copy and paste the rendered QR block as ordinary characters, store it in plain text, or mix it inline with regular Latin text. Text outside brackets remains readable.

Sandbox for Coding Agents

Container Use -- Sandboxed dev environments for coding agents.

GitHub - abshkbh/arrakis: A fully customizable and self-hosted sandboxing solution for AI agent code execution and computer use. It features out-of-the-box support for backtracking, a simple REST API and Python SDK, automatic port forwarding, and secure MicroVM isolation. Perfect for safely running, testing, and backtracking multi-step agent workflows. See Arrakis: How To Build An AI Sandbox From Scratch - Abhishek Bhardwaj, OpenAI talk at 2026 AI Engineer Conference.

pi.dev

Pi Coding Agent.

I use it with GitHub - mitsuhiko/pi-ds4: Run deepseek4 locally on metal right from within Pi · GitHub, which allows me to call GitHub - antirez/ds4: DeepSeek 4 Flash local inference engine for Metal and CUDA · GitHub directly from within pi, without having to start a separate server.

Running Cohere North Mini 1.0

via

uv tool install git+http://github.com/Blaizzy/mlx-vlm
uv run mlx_vlm.server --model CohereLabs/North-Mini-Code-1.0

Add this following line to ~/.pi/agent/models.json under providers key:

"mlx-lm": {
      "baseUrl": "http://localhost:8080/v1",
      "api": "openai-completions",
      "apiKey": "none",
      "models": [
        {
          "id": "CohereLabs/North-Mini-Code-1.0"
        }
      ]
    },

Pi will use the above server running on port :8080:

pi --provider mlx-vlm --model CohereLabs/North-Mini-Code-1.0

The above will download the weights.

Attention

How's Your Attention Span? - by Alessandra Codinha

I’ll give you a program to follow every night, a very simple program. For the next thousand nights, before you go to bed every night, read one short story. That’ll take you ten minutes, 15 minutes. Okay, then read one poem a night from the vast history of poetry... Read the great poets, go back and read Shakespeare, read Alexander Pope, read Robert Frost. But one poem a night, one short story a night, one essay a night, for the next 1,000 nights. From various fields: archaeology, zoology, biology, all the great philosophers of time, comparing them. I want you to read essays in every field. On politics, analyzing literature, pick your own. But that means that every night then, before you go to bed, you’re stuffing your head with one poem, one short story, one essay—at the end of a thousand nights...

Github Actions

Alternatives to Github Actions:

  • CodeRabbit
  • Pullfrog -- open source CodeRabbit alternative that runs in GitHub Actions. see

Configure Pullfrog to review new PRs, auto-address new human reviews, triage/label issues, make plans and PRDs, autofix CI, autofix merge conflicts, or anything else—just mention @pullfrog to assign tasks.

billing:

  • first 30 runs free, then pay as you go: 7¢/run plus model costs. for model costs, either:
  • use Pullfrog Router to access any model at cost (no markup)
  • bring your own key or Claude Code subscription

ds4

ds4.c is Salvatore Sanfilippo’s deliberately narrow inference engine for DeepSeek V4 Flash on Macs with 128GB+ of RAM only. It is not a generic GGUF runner and it is not trying to be a framework. It is a model-specific native engine with a Metal path, model-specific loading, prompt rendering, KV handling, server API glue, and tests. (May 2026).

Autobrowse -- "TL;DR Browser agents have an amnesia problem. They re-discover every site from scratch on every run, paying the full discovery tax forever. Autobrowse fixes that by letting an agent iterate on a real task until it converges, then graduating the winning approach into a durable, reusable skill. That skill is memory the next agent, teammate, or customer can pick up and run without “re-learning” what's already been learned."

AI PRD

How to Write Product Requirement Docs (PRDs) in the AI Era

a few of the things a vibe coded prototype doesn’t specify:

1. What is the **hypothesis** of the change?
2. How does this **fit within the overall strategy**?
3. Is it going to be **rolled out to everyone or A/B tested**?
4. What **constitutes passing metrics** to graduate the experiment? 
5. What are **non-goals and potential side effects** that are worth accepting?

maximecb/bebelm: CPU-only, pure-Rust implementation of LiquidAI's LFM2.5-8B-A1B · GitHub; Jun 2026.

This model is very capable and has only 1B active parameters, making it possible for the model to run at interactive speeds without a GPU.

This package intentionally has very few dependencies and requires no extra system packages to run, making it easy to build and run. This is a library crate which can be imported into your Rust projects

Machinen — Hand off a running coding agent between machines

A MicroVM that runs on hardware you already own. Close your laptop and it hands off to another host.

Start work on your laptop. If you need to leave, snapshot the VM and restore it on another machine. The work continues from the same point — same process, same memory, same open files — without starting over.
