Did you know you're using an algorithm called a hash function hundreds of times every single day without even realizing it? From logging into your favorite apps, to securing your passwords, hash functions are the invisible backbone of the modern internet: youtu.be/UY3fpJmh75c

First MacBook Neo Benchmarks Are In...

GPT-5.4 Thinking and GPT-5.4 Pro are rolling out now in ChatGPT. GPT-5.4 is also now available in the API and Codex. GPT-5.4 brings our advances in reasoning, coding, and agentic workflows into one frontier model.

As a refresher, the A18 Pro is an Armv9.2 64-bit processor with 6 cores (2p + 4e) and a 5-core GPU with hardware ray-tracing. The Neo comes with 8GB of RAM (not upgradeable). There is support for one external display.

Apple has unveiled the MacBook Neo, a 13‑inch laptop with the A18 Pro processor. It comes in four colors (blush, indigo, silver and citrus) and starts at $599: hungrypenguin.net/macbook-neo-ap…

The Apple M5 Pro and M5 Max are not just another reiteration of the Pro/Max lineup. These two processors are fundamentally different to anything that Apple has released until now: youtu.be/zZfTvNMiAPk

Apple just dropped news about the M5 Pro and M5 Max... Video coming soon!

A "headless" Raspberry Pi has no monitor, keyboard, or mouse. You access it remotely. So it isn't a disconnected Raspberry Pi, but rather a connected Raspberry Pi without its "head". In this video I will show you 4 ways to set up a headless Raspberry Pi. youtu.be/-aYKWZ241oA

The Ralph Wiggum technique is a way to run an AI coding agent in a loop until it successfully finishes all of its tasks. In this video I explain the methodology and show you are real world demo where I get Ralph to code a basic MQTT server: youtu.be/A6vYr0dmQAY

@Zhongjiafe74922 I was using a Pi 5 with 8GB RAM and an nvme drive.

@garyexplains Amazing. How much RAM in your raspberry pi?

One of the keys to using OpenClaw (AKA Clawdbot/Moltbot) is to install it on a machine that is up 24/7, so that your AI assistant can work for you even when you sleep. The Raspberry Pi is perfect for running 24/7, which means it is perfect for OpenClaw! youtu.be/qePhufA1hSE

So it wasn't just me! BTW, everything seems to be back to normal at my end: engadget.com/apps/google-sa…

It seems like the SPAM filters in @Google @gmail have stopped working. I am getting lots of SPAM in my inbox. Gmail sees they are suspect and shows the option to "Report as SPAM", but they are in my inbox, not in the SPAM folder. Anyone else seeing this?

Things seem to have returned to normal for me, however not for everyone... I guess all will be well in a few hours.

Pillama is my new open source tool for interacting with LLMs on the AI HAT+ 2. The new HAT from @Raspberry_Pi uses the Hailo AI accelerator and offers a REST API via Hailo-Ollama. Pillama offers chatting & model management, in a single command line tool: youtu.be/rWXOeiLQv-I

Let's dive into the new Raspberry Pi AI Hat+ 2. I'll show you how to run a LLM on this new board. It is easy with my own project called Pillama. Finally, I'll reveal the performance numbers, showing the toks/s generated by the CPU alone vs the AI HAT+ 2: youtu.be/si6e5kmLbWc

The end of the year is nigh. With 2026 beckoning, I wanted to take a moment to cover my most popular videos of 2025 and ask you about 2026: youtu.be/GWyHRX3r1nk
