Good software devs release when "it's done". Me? I release when "I'm done" as in, can't stomach working on it any longer

Released V2.37 of Toolfish with yet another audio feature - it can adjust the volume of just the app in focus. (hotkey to adjust Windows mixing) Makes it easier to watch youtube during the boring parts of games. github.com/SethRobinson/Tool…

a ton of openclaw instances and AI driven startups died this morning. No more free tokens I guess, only surprised anthropic allowed it this long

Tech tip (?): The dog-walking lights I ordered from AliExpress came the wrong color (I ordered blue) and too bright. Check out this easy hack to sort of fix 'em that even a dumbass like me can do:

Got a new printer - it prints on anything, even curved potato chips! So far I've been using it as a $2100 labeler, its camera positioning system makes it dang easy (and addictive) to use. Hrm, what else can I print on... (Credit: some pics are from @Yumcans's game Popslinger)

Fancy rocks are boring. If you're going to propose, may I suggest:

Photo from last night at Kyoto station. They are letting people play Tetris on the massive stairs, using 15,000 LEDs. Met some friendly players, a pro with the coolest Tetris jacket scored 48K , she ruled. ( 京都 大階段 )

I think it ends tonight but here are my tips anyway: Show up at 5:30 PM and dress warmly. Stand away from the iPad in the center of your lane, use the Hold button from memory, you won't see next pieces. Play on "Hard", it's easy. We didn't try t-spin so not sure if it works.

Despite the lack of legs, my @pollenrobotics reachy robot danced off a table and damaged three motors. Finally sourced replacement motors (was hard in Japan, sold out), so hopefully we'll get this sassy little guy back online. Don't place it near the edge of a table!

Early work on an AI that can play Pokémon TCG Pocket only by watching the screen. Got to the point where it can reliably 'see' the cards and match them up to its internal card db to generate a super-prompt that produces structured movement advice

I like tricky problems like this! for example, it has to manipulate the screen with taps like a human would do to clearly see cards/status effects. I think I'm too lazy (as usual) to do anymore work on it right now, but wanted to at least share the screenshot

Been experimenting with OpenClaw (w/Opus) to send me daily Japan news digests. It doesn't get blocked grabbing news and photos because it just switches to a real browser (on its VM) when needed. Today's version: rtsoft.com/temp/daily_digest…

Couple of reasons why I find this useful: 1. Has a section where it checks raw Japanese news and includes political bias tags for the source. 2. Kyoto event section includes distance from my house, pricing and one click google map.

It also scans certain reddit subs and grabs top stories & comments. I allow it to create an image if there isn't one - with the requirement that it clearly labels it as AI generated, as it's hard to tell. Maybe a bad idea though, this image looks pretty real, for example...

The Reachy-mini is a lot of fun. It really is like having a useless Starwars droid. Some tips: Can't set it up? At least one feb batch (including mine) got botched and needs to be reflashed. Speaker too weak? Can hack apps with a gain, helped a ton.

Audio gain hack that works in the conversation app: AUDIO_GAIN = 2.5 # 250% volume audio_frame = np.clip(audio_frame * AUDIO_GAIN, -1.0, 1.0) robot.media.push_audio_sample(audio_frame) #put in front of this line

At a party and too many people are talking, causing Reachy to get stunlocked? After speaking, cover up the mic array on top with a towel or something so it will stop listening and answer. (thanks Yael!)

"buy me a used Ghost of Yotei for PS5 if you can find it for < 5400 yen, no confirmation required" <shrug> I don't feel like trusting AI to do this is that crazy now, it works. (brain: Opus 4.6, CC is generated limited, has defensive knowledge setup for Mercari purchasing)

Dalen wants to chat with mercari support (via the website) when they open at 10:00 AM because the seller clearly broke the rules. I'm a little worried about letting him loose with a real human in live chat.. hrm

Dalen successfully argued his case with Mercari support (in Japanese) and got the negative rating removed! Was a good test. The screenshot he took & sent was too... 'vertical', needs to work on that.
