Design and implementation of Kana Chat, a personal AI agent system that wraps official CLIs. Covers the tmux bridge, context isolation, and tool approval gate that make it safe to run in your own environment.
How to configure VRAM/main memory split on the GMKtec EVO-X2 (Strix Halo) for local LLM inference. A 29.6GB model ran fine with just 8GB of dedicated VRAM.
Building an NSFW-capable local LLM on the GMKtec EVO-X2 (Strix Halo). Getting GPU inference at ~11 tokens/s with LM Studio and MS3.2-24B-Magnum-Diamond.
Upscaling images loaded via the Load Image node was producing garbled output. Fixed it by addressing the non-contiguous tensor issue — a one-line patch to comfy/utils.py. Added a 2026-04-29 follow-up after a ComfyUI update wiped the patch and the bug came back, with the upstream PyTorch issue and a recurrence-detection snippet.
Went 0-for-13 trying to train an Illustrious-XL LoRA on a Mac Studio M1 Max 64GB. With help from multiple AI agents, pinpointed the root causes and finally succeeded on a RunPod RTX 4090. The full record: three fatal parameters and the sd-scripts trap.
A thinking block corruption error crashed my Claude Code Web session and wiped uncommitted files. An investigation into the cause, workarounds, and whether the files can be recovered.
Hands-on RunPod log for Phr00t AIO Qwen-Image-Edit NSFW v18.1 (28GB). RTX 4090 24GB froze loading and --lowvram didn't help; the FP8 split version needed separate VAE/text encoder. RTX 5090 32GB worked end-to-end. Used it for 3-view reference sheets for a 3D model base mesh.
When building a WebRTC voice call, you can't pass a remote MediaStream to the SpeechRecognition API. Here are three workable approaches — remote-side recognition, server-side processing, and AudioContext — plus iOS-specific implementation strategies.
Generalized the scripts from the practice and optimization articles into a reusable framework and published it on GitHub. A walkthrough of how to use it and the design philosophy.
