It’s the evening before publication, and a pair of Hackaday writers convene to record the week’s podcast. This week Elliot Williams is joined by Jenny List, and it’s a bumper episode!Of course, a bit of Hackaday news makes the cut, as it’s time to make an entry in the Green Powered Challenge. Then we make the first of a couple of sojourns into AI, as we talk about the Linux kernel stance on AI code. In short: if you submit AI code you’re responsible for its bugs. Meanwhile out of this world, we look forward to a time when astronauts breathe oxygen from moon dust.There are hacks aplenty for your enjoyment, starting with far more than you ever thought it was possible to know about sound-reactive LED strips. Then we have among others a Mac on an ESP32 forming the UI for a weather monitor, Doom on a toaster, and a fascinating look at screw threads for plastic.In the longer reads we have our colleague [Tom Nardi] finding Chinese people’s personal data on hard drives he bought in an electronics store, and an attempt to look at what an LLM can do that might be useful.
