heyyeah··on Autism is genetic – and why this information matters now
These people are not liars. It’s anti-vax conspiracies that willfully mislead people and for what? The scientist who claimed a link between autism and vaccine was a fraud who misrepresented research data. Why do intelligent people perpetuate conspiracy theories?
heyyeah··on Show HN: Open-source engine running Gemma 4 26B in 2 GB RAM on any M-series Mac
100% agree. We're on Hacker News. We should be open to people who aren't native English speakers using LLMs to help them communicate their ideas and more importantly, cool projects without getting dragged for AI speak in the text.

heyyeah··on Google's Antigravity bait and switch
Did anyone else have the bug (?) where they had to consent to these: "Yes, I agree to help improve Antigravity IDE by allowing Google to collect and use my Interactions data, subject to the Google Antigravity IDE Terms of Service and Google Privacy Policy. I understand I can choose to opt out later whenever I want via my settings." data collection terms to finish the Antigravity IDE installation? I filed a bug and searched for the setting to switch it off.

heyyeah··on Claude Code: connect to a local model when your quota runs out
It's definitely a backup solution but even since I was drafting the blog, Qwen3 Coder Next was released. It's a functional stop gap if you want to keep things local. I try to be up front in the blog for people to "Reduce your expectations about speed and performance!"

(Also, I love your podcast!)

heyyeah··on Claude Code: connect to a local model when your quota runs out
When you run out of quota it presents you with options to stop, upgrade -- or I added a third option in this blog to connect to a local model until your quota resets: https://boxc.net/blog/2026/claude-code-connecting-to-local-m...
heyyeah··on Claude Code: connect to a local model when your quota runs out
This week: look at Qwen3 Coder Next and GLM 4.7 but it's changing fast.

I wrote this for the scenario you've run out of quota for the day or week but want a back up plan to keep going to give some options with obvious speed and quality trade-offs. There is also always the option to upgrade if your project and use case needs Opus 4.5.

heyyeah··on Adobe to acquire Figma for $20B
Adobe will be facing an existential crisis trying to maintain this monopoly vs AI generated content, AI augmented content generation tools and cheap image and layout apps.
heyyeah··on Stable Diffusion is a big deal
It is capable of surprising beauty. It will however be as beautiful as the disaster that is modern Facebook -- and the misinformation will be more convincing and subtler.
