How I Gave My AI Assistant a Radio
Building a bridge between Meshtastic LoRa mesh radios and OpenClaw to give an AI assistant off-grid communication over radio waves.
I gave my AI OpenClaw assistant a radio ๐ก
It's a #LoRa mesh radio connected via USB to a Mac. Send message from my phone over the Meshtastic network, it wakes the AI, processes the message, and replies โ all without internet.

If you're trying to connect to a Raspberry Pi running Home Assistant in Brave, it may not work. Mine seems to block the connection. Try Chrome #homeassistant #raspberrypi

What are you all doing to test agentic workflows? It's overwhelming because there are many paths an agent could take. I'm thinking maybe a starting point is verifying that it called expected tools and returned an expected format for critical tasks. #ai #agents #artificialintelligence #agentic

Thanks, Matthew! That's exactly what it was. I fixed that and it worked fine, no fallbacks needed.

It's very possible that I misattributed the issue. I'll take another look at it. :) Thanks for helping me dig into it further!

I kept running in an issue where I could register a passkey with Apple Touch ID without any issues, but then the browser couldn't find my passkey. This seemed to solve that, but I bet there's a better approach.

Passkeys, WebAuthn, and Next.js: a Practical Guide
A hands-on guide to adding passkey login to a Next.js app using WebAuthn.
I like seeing passkeys showing up in more places because they're much easier to manage than passwords. It inspired me to do a deep dive on how they work. #nextjs #webauthn #passkeys

Springs and Bounces in Native CSS โข Josh W. Comeau
The โlinear()โ timing function is a game-changer; it allows us to model physics-based motion right in vanilla CSS! That said, there are some limitations and quirks to be aware of. Iโve been experiment...
Thereโs something magical about physics-based animation. When we use springs instead of Bรฉzier curves, we tend to get way smoother motion.
Up until recently, weโve needed to use JS libraries for this, but a modern feature lets us emulate springs in native CSS. โจ

You want to ship a Linear-like experience, so you install some CRDT libraries and expect things to Just Workโข.
@hausdorff.bsky.social of moment.dev digs into why this isn't that simple.

Pretty impressed with the Cursor + Playwright MCP. Within a few minutes, it solved some tedious responsive fixed position updates that would have taken me a while. ๐คฏ

Build a secure MCP server in TypeScript
Learn to build a secure MCP server in TypeScript with proper setup, transports, and safeguards like auth, validation, and rate limiting.
My prototype servers always worked fine, but I wasnโt asking the right questions about security.
This time I built one Iโd actually trust: a secure MCP server in #TypeScript.
For anyone else tired of saying โIโll handle auth laterโ: rebeccamdeprey.com/blog/secure-...

@function --light-dark(--l, --d) {
result: if(color-scheme(dark): var(--d); else: var(--l));
}
Disclaimer: the following is Chromium-only and more than cutting edge, but it's kinda wild that we can implement custom functions like "light-dark()" ourselves eventually.
Here's @bram.us looking into the future. ๐

Found a "Magnitude" on this week, it looks interesting.
That is a Playwright where you write a declarative AI prompts in test files instead of selectors and expected states assertions.
There are some problems, but that approach could replace manual QA on small projects.

Agent Engineering
Defining Agents, Why now, and why Agents are the biggest opportunity for AIEs
I've been thinking a lot recently about the differences between #AI agents and workflows. This Latent Space post does a good deep dive on the topic, www.latent.space/p/agent.
A key takeaway for me is that agents determine their own workflows.
