A terminal window displaying a command execution log titled ‘mlx_whisper –task 1/V/V/P/2026-01-13_YT_Starting_a_new_new_job’.

I’ve been transcribing my YouTube videos locally for a few months now. It took some trial and error to get a setup that actually works reliably, so here’s what I learned. The problem I wanted good subtitles for my videos—for accessibility, but also so I could feed the transcripts to Claude for gener…

A tabby cat with striking amber eyes sits at a desk in warm, golden lighting, surrounded by an open book, stacked papers, and a glowing desk lamp. Digital icons representing WiFi, images, shopping, and other technology symbols float in the air around the cat, suggesting connectivity and digital communication.

He appears to be speaking or presenting, with built-in shelving visible in the background and natural lighting from the windows.

I don’t use AI. I work with it.

Great intro to the “why” and “how” of using AI in your everyday life by Stanford adjunct professor Jeremy Utley. His background is design, not tech, and thus, he has a very different, human-centric view on AI, which I find refreshing.

A black and tan dachshund named Elvis sitting on wooden flooring, wearing a pink bandana with watermelon print. He has soulful dark eyes, floppy ears, and is looking directly at the camera with an alert, friendly expression.

Over the last few days, I’ve been working on putting Elvis, our Dachshund, onto this blog’s banner.

About two weeks ago, Zed, my favourite code editor, introduced agentic coding, replacing its previous assistant panel on the right of its UI. A blog post walks through the way agents work in Zed now. The documentation now has an Agent Panel section. I’ve used it a bit for tweaking some stuff around …
