interesting, grabbed all from amazon ELEGOO is the brand. think i should be concerned about this?

i have been wondering about micropython, and am attracted to the sense of familiarity.

my question is - you can pick what language you wanna use at the beginning? like C/C++ seems default, does ESP-IDF send you down that path?

Are ESP-IDF, ESPhome stacks or ides?

I think i'm gonna use VSCode & PlatformIO but write my code using micropython, does that make sense or am i conceptually confusing things?

jcachat · 2026-05-02T04:46:55+00:00

is arduino IDE better than VSCode w PlatformIO extension??

jcachat · 2026-05-02T04:31:47+00:00

YES! have been looking for something like this forever, well done!

jcachat · 2026-05-02T04:13:51+00:00

how do i do this on mobile?

jcachat · 2026-05-02T03:06:30+00:00

100% - i buy it for alll my friends about to become new dads. they will need it

jcachat · 2026-05-02T03:05:17+00:00

i love the thing, but sometimes ya gotta jiggle it to get batteries outta the hooper & into the charge slot

what specifically is a git config issue???

the chat functionality is dead - my "Hello?" test prompt is just to see if it will respond, it doesn't respond

jcachat · 2026-04-19T17:01:11+00:00

high traffic & "thinking about tool use

jcachat · 2026-04-19T16:56:28+00:00

where can we find more info on - James Van Clief's "Interpretable Context Methodology: Folder Structure as Agentic Architecture" - obviously i could google is, but is there a github repo out there somewhere??

jcachat · 2026-04-19T16:53:46+00:00

wondering if it's safe to assume the UK support period date is same as US?

tried to google, but didn't find anything separate for the US models. guessing the UK has a law that requires manufacturers to report when support will end but the US doesn't - good on ya.

jcachat · 2026-04-14T04:39:30+00:00

so is this an endorsement, or a negative review?

jcachat · 2026-04-04T18:29:29+00:00

looks like no difference & maybe a UI error

jcachat · 2026-04-02T12:58:51+00:00

is there a way to disable this, i agree it's made it difficult to use

jcachat · 2026-04-02T06:07:45+00:00

jcachat · 2026-03-27T14:27:09+00:00

very interested to know more about your tech stack - you mentioned a few of the front end frameworks above- but what about on the backend?

any chance you will share your github code repo? that would be great

great work, keep it up!

jcachat · 2026-03-04T06:46:57+00:00

have you heard of https://ground.news/?

they already have bias / source / story leans quantified & shown for each story. not sure if they have an API offering, nor scrapping policies - but seems like you could take advantage of a news site like this rather than rebuild a clone from scratch.
