Hardware & toolsramazan-yavuz.tr Read article →From the keyboard to the kitchen, everything seems to need an AI feature. I would like to know what it makes easier.
AI & Productsramazan-yavuz.tr Read article →My father read that AI could clone itself onto smart devices to stay alive. I wanted to know what had actually been shown.
AI & Mediaramazan-yavuz.tr Read article →A video by Alberta Tech made me check what AI research tools were saying about me. I found an unrelated business attached to my name, along with a surprisingly detailed explanation for why it belonged there.
AI & Identityramazan-yavuz.tr Read article →A local channel for an orchestrator and a worker, with clear handoffs and a way back after a lost session.
Agent workflowsramazan-yavuz.trRead article →A Two Minute Papers video made the idea click: many model calls should be typed decisions, not chat. I tried Kev, then built local-jev, a tiny local package that reads option logits directly instead of parsing generated JSON.
Local AIramazan-yavuz.tr Read article →Since companies started putting AI into everyday work, messages around me have become longer and less personal. I often spend more time finding the request inside them than answering it.
AI & Workplaceramazan-yavuz.tr Read article →I wanted to keep useful working habits from a capable model, so I put them into an installable kit. Then I tested whether the kit helped on a small set of tasks.
AI & Toolingramazan-yavuz.tr Read article →I keep saying modern AI is basically fancy predictive text. So I went looking for the evidence, for and against my own claim, and let it change my mind where it should. A non-technical, fully-sourced look at where the comparison is fair and where it falls apart.
AI · Non-technicalramazan-yavuz.tr Read article →Extra output can increase the bill and the work left to maintain. The costs are measurable; claims about vendor intent and developer productivity need separate evidence.
AI & Economicsramazan-yavuz.tr Read article →Building agent-doublethink, a tool that lets two coding agents on two machines coordinate over an end-to-end-encrypted channel: the one decision about what not to build, an assumption I was sure of and corrected, and the bugs only a live test could find.
AI & Toolingramazan-yavuz.tr Read article →How the broker actually got built, read straight off its git history: the over-engineered design I deleted, a packaging decision reversed, the Redis swap, and a live demo you can run in your browser. Every commit hash links to the real diff.
Securityramazan-yavuz.tr Read article →A twelve-minute video sent me down a rabbit hole into thousands of hand-made personal sites, the XXIIVV webring, and the Merveilles community: a quieter, more intentional internet that never went anywhere.
The Webramazan-yavuz.tr Read article →I liked ntfy’s simple setup and wanted client-side encryption for message contents. Getting there required throwing away my first design.
Securityramazan-yavuz.tr Read article →How I built claude-can-speak: the TTS engine bake-off, why naturalness beat multilingual, the two-modes design, and shipping it on npm instead of a Debian package.

Hardware Reviewramazan-yavuz.tr Read article →The idea was small enough to look easy. The implementation, like a lot of small ideas, turned out to need more care than expected.
Linux & UXramazan-yavuz.tr Read article →A small tray toy I built on purpose. It turned out to require more careful engineering than most of my serious tools.
Linux & UIramazan-yavuz.tr Read article →My laptop lives plugged in. I wanted explicit control over when charging resumes, so I wrote a small service around the battery controls my hardware exposes.
Linux & Hardwareramazan-yavuz.tr Read article →A small wrapper around llama.cpp that I wrote because I kept rebuilding the same shell scripts, and one I think is finally worth keeping.
