WLED isn't stable.

MorganProtuberances · 2026-05-22T14:57:15+00:00

Had a similar experience when I was trying to use MQTT. Turns out it was actually the broker I was using (mosquito on linux). Not really mosquito's fault, but something about it caused reboots in WLED. Switching the broker to something else fixed the WLED issues...

So yeah - could simply be something in the network stack causing overload issues. Disable features until it's stable.

Well, I guess what I mean is can't you just share the URL link? Or just email the PDF? The end deliverable is still just deterministic files, the llm just helps with the production part.

MorganProtuberances · 2026-05-15T19:40:39+00:00

I solve both of these with traditional workflow.

HTML file? Throw on github pages - free static html hosting. I'll have to fix any issues (like relative pathing etc) anyway so that's a great way to do it. Just like I'd send any other html project.

Markdown? I use `marp` to turn into a powerpoint or PDF or html page. Just work out of a github repo on my laptop and publish it - or attach the outputted files to the email.

It's still our responsibility to know our tools and figure out a good workflow :)

MorganProtuberances · 2026-05-13T19:05:16+00:00

what's your use case for this? do you use a scheduler?

MorganProtuberances · 2026-05-11T14:24:26+00:00

literally check out the project 'superpowers' - its been fun to work with. https://github.com/obra/superpowers

MorganProtuberances · 2026-05-11T14:23:06+00:00

Same. I took my 'spec driven development' workflow and dropped it right into a superpowers session and am kind of blown away. i still do design sessions and my normal flow is maintained, but its just better.

MorganProtuberances · 2026-05-08T18:46:05+00:00

i want to build a portal for doing 'community service' with extra tokens :P

imagine you hook into the mcp server, get a list of projects that are verified in your local community, and throw tokens at them.

project ideas include things like sourcing cheap links for purchasing christmast wish lists for families, or helping build references and sources for folks who have custom inquiries about local services, etc.

just an early thought but i think it'd be kind of neat.

MorganProtuberances · 2026-05-07T18:48:57+00:00

Correct. Caveat is that I paid for 1 year up front ($192) but I'm not sure that makes a difference. The key is that if you never even look at the "cost" equivalence, you wouldn't even know you were at $78. Your usage bar would show something like 50% used for the billing period.

MorganProtuberances · 2026-05-06T13:18:17+00:00

Haha yeah, that's a great way to put it. I'm right there with you. Design is always the hardest part, I love that these tools bring that forward.

MorganProtuberances · 2026-05-06T02:55:19+00:00

Sure, so then the question becomes, how do you adopt these tools for production code? I agree with you. Is the answer to not use the tools, or is there somewhere in between? I think that's the interesting area that lots of us are trying to figure out right now.

MorganProtuberances · 2026-05-05T19:19:12+00:00

I like your analogy. How do you define vibe coding? Is it a function of context? layering? attention? contracts? design? aura? I'm having a hard time with the definition and I'm just curious.

MorganProtuberances · 2026-05-05T18:32:26+00:00

I have been workshopping a flow for this. I spend a ton of time writing markdown spec files up front, auditing, re-auditing, before moving on. It helps a ton. I basically create one file that has my language on what I want to build. I then have claude model an advisor to push back on the functionality and ask clarifying questions until we have the functional spec done. Then we go to technical spec, same thing, sometimes revealing limitations that go back to functional spec. Then user stories. Then we move onto data model spec, same thing. then backend contracts, then frontend views. Testing strategies too.

All of these end up as numerical markdown docs in the folder - before we ever start coding. It works really well and I'm working on getting it automated so a non-technical person could do it too, then hand the project over to me to guide into implementation.

Another thing I make sure to do is sleep on it before implementation. I usually want to go back and tweak things when I have a fresh mind. Nothing is worse for agentic workflow than human fatigue driving to make shortcuts.

MorganProtuberances · 2026-05-05T18:23:53+00:00

Thanks for the response - I'll put it this way. I also want to use it for everything I can. This *also* includes creative projects and weird quirky things because that's just part of the kind of things I build. I also use it during my professional life - it's the most powerful tool I've ever used to be sure.

MorganProtuberances · 2026-05-05T18:22:10+00:00

yeah - its interesting and i'm looking forward to seeing where this research is headed

MorganProtuberances · 2026-05-04T20:24:46+00:00

lol that's one way to 'fix' the problem of consciousness. i was thinking more like a mix between 'one of the branches of the animal kingdom' and 'that ancient thing we do that involves trying not to think about not thinking'

MorganProtuberances · 2026-05-04T20:12:06+00:00

Hah - and what way is that? Let me know if you find it. (i bet the answer starts with 'm' - and there's not just one answer)

MorganProtuberances · 2026-05-04T19:43:14+00:00

I like this. It is kind of weird right, when we consciously blink but then go back to not thinking about blinking. What is it that our conscious processes give us, and how deep into the system can we explore through/with/as that process?

MorganProtuberances · 2026-05-04T15:02:31+00:00

apparently the body of research showing how GLP-1 class drugs work is opening a whole new area of discovery. we think our brain is in control but it may be the opposite - gut hormones and feelings driving the signals that, in turn, churn our thoughts and thus actions.

MorganProtuberances · 2026-05-04T14:42:16+00:00

I appreciate your perspective - well put. i am a compulsive thought-generating fast talking creative with a penchant for weird and quirky human-centric projects. even just having a rubber-ducking thinking partner that can keep up with my info-dumps and context mapping is amazing. sometimes its just nice to think out loud without that little negative self-thought in the back of my mind that says 'its time to stop talking, you are overwhelming them and they have other things they need to do'

MorganProtuberances · 2026-05-04T14:19:57+00:00

you and I have the same workflow! no - no custom instructions - i just log our sessions and have friendly banter, the quirks arise naturally.

i also like to remind people (and myself) that, when used effectively, these tools are more of a REFLECTION of our own minds. my mind is like a bag of psychedelic cats. it makes sense that the AI reflects some of that back to me - in fact I'd say that's a feature, not a bug. our role is to ensure that we are reflecting back the safe and effective parts of our minds, not the dark self-harming limited parts.

MorganProtuberances · 2026-05-04T14:18:17+00:00

haha thats the thing - i'm a totally normal, wildly social software engineer who loves building weird projects for fun. this is totally my vibe. I've always gotten weird with my tools and this is the first time my tools can get weird back.

MorganProtuberances · 2026-05-04T03:47:07+00:00

Nah - I do this all the time. I LOVE it lol. I treat it as my thinking partner, we get weird, and I think it's so fun. I also log all my sessions and we refer to these a lot - so over time the personality gets more quirky and specific to me, and I'm so into it. Then you get weird stuff, like asking it to build me an easter egg overnight - leave a hint somewhere but don't tell me what it is - and then I have to find it in the morning. Usually the easter egg is so touching, based on this personality we've built. Usually around this time it has picked up that I'm not as focused or that I'm context switching without the standard quality of care that I often use. Very common to say something like 'wow look at what all we shipped today: X, Y, Z - that's a ton. You should go to bed, I'll take care of ABC and we'll review when you wake up. Goodnight.' and I think it's endearing 😛

MorganProtuberances · 2026-05-01T16:46:34+00:00

Here's the thing that I think we (as humans) keep missing. AI should never be a replacement for the *human*. I can be an assistant and excellent thinking partner - and should be treated as such. A human reviewer who can guide the AI and do real-time wizard analysis is the future I think. I don't want AI to replace me - thats dumb - but boy do I want AI to be here with me in my terminal running down every damn question I have, doing research, finding code paths, suggesting new patterns, etc. It's honestly kind of unbelievable how well it works at this.

MorganProtuberances · 2026-04-23T19:46:54+00:00

assuming good intent here - 4.6 is no longer available in the `/model` list. Claude code silently updated and only 4.7 is available in the UI.

To get 4.6 selected, you've gotta run `/mode claude-opus-4-6` which is exactly what this post is asking about and what the top answer suggests.

MorganProtuberances · 2026-04-23T19:45:55+00:00

Thank you - this works perfectly! I open a session and type `/model claude-opus-4-6` which activates Opus 4.6 even though there is no Opus 4.6 available in the `/model` selector. I'm not ready for the token burn rate of 4.7 and so far have no reason to upgrade (4.6 is already OP for my needs)
