SCRAP TO SPARK update #7 last package arrived today. everything's here. time to build the local AI pc. went with arctic p14 pro pst fans for cooling here's why that choice actually matters, fans have two stats people ignore CFM and static pressure. CFM (cubic feet per minute) = how much air the fan moves. raw volume. great for case fans pushing air through open space. Static pressure = how hard the fan can push air through resistance. dense heatsink fins, radiators, dust filters anything that fights back. most fans are good at one or the other: - high CFM fans stall the moment they hit a dense heatsink. - high pressure fans move less total air in open space. the bc250 ships with a thick passive heatsink: - zero fans, - designed for server chassis with screaming 40mm deltas blasting through it so I need both: 1. enough pressure to force air through those tight fins, 2. enough CFM to actually carry the heat away. the p14 pro is one of the few fans that doesn't compromise. high CFM AND high static pressure at 140mm. that's why it's goated for this exact job. build log starts now.

SCRAP TO SPARK update #6 three things went wrong before I got anything working. the AIO can't cool the BC250. rated dissipation is well under what the chip actually pulls it would've throttled on day one and I'd have spent a week blaming the board. the last package is sitting in customs. - no eta. - can't do anything about it. and the H1 is too short for the card. not tight. short. normally you buy a different case. I can't buy a different case. no top-ups is the rule and the rule is the entire point. so I did what any normal person would do and picked up an angle grinder. - cut left. - cut right. - gutted the interior, - drilled new holes, - fabbed a mount for the ATX plate. - different cooling solution entirely. the H1 that's sitting on my desk is not the H1 I started with. it fits. came here to turn scrap into a spark. today I just made more scrap. €0 spent still $4k from the Spark

local AI agents are about to get competitive. i'm turning old hardware into agents and documenting every experiment on the way to a NVIDIA DGX Spark.

some guy built a self-evolving AI OS on claude that just... runs itself 😳 it made its own tools, spawned discord bots, moved millions of rows around on its own it even has another claude checking its work so it doesn't go off the rails we are not ready for this

codex is a great research partner it helps me audit existing work by summarizing papers, then helps me brainstorm novel direction and questions back on its novelty, once we both agree it then writes a self goal for itself and a definition of done... after which i ask it to run the goal and go to bed. then i wake up in the morning and go over all the logs, diagrams, documents it created for me and decide if i should continue or try something else. feel the agi

Woke up to 7th sponsor for $1,199 💸 That's $4.7k/month on a project I built in 5 hours. Shoutout to postiz.io, run your social media on autopilot with AI agents 🙌 3 left. Next one's $1,299.

6 slots GONE. That's +$999 💸 I can't really believe this. Everything is blowing up. In the last hour: ~$4k/month, 2k visitors 📈 70k site views in 72 hours alone. Shoutout ScreenSnap Pro from @m_0_r_g_a_n_, screenshots that actually look pro 🙌 2 slots left. Next one's $1,199.

Sponsors on @canivibecodeit are already seeing an ROI less than a day after buying. 5,000 views on the site in the last 12 hours 🤯

Pierre-Eliott Lallemant@pierreeliottlal

We just bought a $499 ad spot on CanIVibeCodeIt from @robj3d3. From experience, these kinds of placements have consistently delivered great ROI for us. And just a few hours in, we’ve already seen: → 100+ visitors → A large share of traffic from the US → A few new subscriptions already We previously tested the same strategy with TrustMRR, and it worked extremely well. Why I like these deals: → Gojiberry stays top of mind in front of our ICP → We acquire targeted traffic cheaper than with traditional ads → We lock in a fixed price: if the website keeps growing, we still pay the same amount, so our effective CPC keeps going down Small niche websites with the right audience can be massively underrated acquisition channels.

OpenCode just added FREE access to DeepSeek V4 Flash 😳 no API key to bring. no extra setup. just install OpenCode and start prompting. what you get for $0: -DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 -1M context window -thinking mode + tool calling -OpenCode's fast terminal-native coding workflow what this replaces: -paying for coding assistants -managing API keys just to test a model all for $0. how to set it up: 1. install OpenCode on your windows or mac from opencode.ai 2. select DeepSeek V4 Flash 3. start coding or prompting perfect for bug fixing, refactoring, building apps, and shipping side projects without spending a cent. use it before OpenCode removes free option
