We complain about and make fun of LinkedIn content, but it gets even worse when you realize that many people are not pretending and behave like that in real life.

I am not sure what I am doing differently when using AI for coding.

I am fine with using Chatbots as a Stack Overflow replacement, LLM-powered autocomplete, or to ask questions about a codebase.

Still, I feel extremely uncomfortable using Cursor Agents or similar tools for anything other than simple single-use Python scripts.

@VizzariG @melaniemitchell I read Complexity: A guided tour and it's amazing. It prompted me to explore the network science and cellural automata in depth.

Would someone from my network here be willing to invite me to @lobsters?

Pretty please :)

I turned an @arduino board into a custom RGB controller. Here is how: https://svana.name/2026/02/i-built-an-rgb-controller-with-arduino/

After starting to monitor my blog traffic with @Matomo, I discovered that Google Search isn't as dominant as it seems. Many people come to my website from Bing, Kagi, or DuckDuckGo.

These days, owning a laptop with 32GB of RAM and 1TB SSD makes me feel rich.

My first real hardware project. I've built my own RGB controller using @arduino. The color changes depending on hardware utilization (blue = RAM, green = CPU, red = GPU).

I'll publish a blog post with details soon.

In the meantime, here is what happens when I chat with Ollama.

@matejkastner Vědel jsem o tom, že něco jako fast.ai existuje, ale sledovat jsem je začal jenom nedávno.

@bins I have a similar opinion. Many people complain that in Europe with don't have companies like Google or Meta. But why the hell would we want them?

"Not everything that matters can or should be quantified."

@grumpyoldtechie This has become a standard way to install things, and many tools, including Homebrew or UV, use this approach.

As you point out, it's not necessarily for the better.

Hello @susam, I've recently discovered your blog. You have some great articles there, but for some reason, the "A4 Paper Stories" left the greatest mark. Just wanted to say thanks and keep up the good work!

After installing @forgejo to replace GitHub, I've also decided to switch to self-hosted @Matomo for web analytics. I stopped using Google Analytics some time ago and switched to Piwik, but their recent pricing changes made this option infeasible. $35 is just a bit too much if all I need is to monitor a few personal projects.

A second small update to Embeddings Playground. Now you can upload simple text files with one text input per line. Check it out here: https://embeddings.svana.name/

@jabgoe2089 I am inclined to run some experiments on this idea. Seems plausible, though. I've heard people talk similarly about coding - that LLMs produce average code, and the average is not that great.

A small update to my Embeddings Playground. I added 4 more original sentence-transformers models. Check them out: https://embeddings.svana.name/

I don't understand why so many people use planning a trip as a demo for anything "AI" or "agentic". Yes, it's simple. But also kinda useless.

Do LLMs hallucinate more in Czech than in English? I ran some benchmarks, and it looks like the answer is yes: https://svana.name/2026/02/do-llms-hallucinate-more-in-czech-than-in-english/

A few thoughts on benchmarking LLMs for hallucinations: https://svana.name/2026/02/benchmarking-llms-for-hallucinations/

Why is it that nobody really uses these benchmarks?
