This one is mostly for documentation and proof of concept. I was able to get it to work, but it was never reliable enough. The iOS feature itself does work. But even at the basic home lab level, it doesn’t have any interface to speak of. For instance, I want to know if traffic is…

Inspiring yet Mad Spiels
How to Load Lazy-Load Images in Background
I have an assumption about average internet speed — it’s fast enough for most parts of the world to have streaming services. But somehow, some websites still do use lazy loaders on their images and assets. Mad Tea Party is one of them, due to server’s resource issues. But for websites that have larger traffic,…
Resurrecting Abandoned Projects with Vibe Coding
Open source projects always had a huge caveat in its system. If it’s too rigid and far too common, it is less likely to be given enough attention for maintenance until it breaks. If it’s too early in the development and quite niche, it is also less likely to be given enough attention. The projects…

But…
Are LLMs Terrible at Gauging Efficiency?

I know the title can be mouthful. So let me start by describing the problem first. There are different services available on the internet showing what streaming services in your region carry the contents you are after. The problem I had with these services were: one. it often fails to parse the localized titles used…
LLM, Subscriptions, and Tokens
As I have previously said, I don’t see Claude replacing a proper programmer’s job anytime soon. I am subscribing to meager Pro tier, and that’s nowhere near enough to replace my hobbyist’s job. Granted, there is the joy of not needing to fiddle with technicalities. Being able to implement new algorithm and upgrade existing core…
