... and used Claude to crank the software up to 11. Network management console, RESTful API, added hands hands to the pupils so it serves as a clock, NTP, added sleep mode at night, added different eyes, OTA firmware updates, and more: https://github.com/michael-gebis/creeper-eyes
It's ridiculous and I love it.
I’m building https://www.freefocusgames.com , a free collection of browser-based attention and working-memory exercises, including Dual N-Back, Stroop, Schulte tables, attention-control exercises, and memory games. I started it because I wanted simple brain-training exercises that didn’t require an account, app install, or subscription. It’s also open source: https://github.com/loethen/freefocusgames
Recently worked on https://sleepsignal.app It's an app to get sleepy without meds. Simply close your eyes and imagine the micro-scenarios you hear. Like if you hear "moonlight on a white flower", imagine that scenario until you hear the next one. Session duration is also not too long (10 minutes default, you may change the session duration too). It's like a digital melatonin pill - but without chemical side effects.…
- the TTS voice sounds way too excited for something meant to be relaxing
- the sudden speaking after 10 seconds of silence is very jarring -- I wonder if something like a reverse-reverb effect would be enough to "warn" the brain that a new sentence is incoming. There's an example of how to do it in Ableton on YouTube[0] but the basic concept is: take a short slice of audio from the beginning of the sentence, reverse it, apply a long reverb, reverse it again, trim the end a little. You get a sort of ghostly aspirated sound that leads perfectly into the original sample.
I've been working on a voxel game engine called Bonsai for ~10 years. Probably the most interesting thing about it at the moment is the editor. The world, and most things in it, are represented as collections of SDFs. More accurately, they're density fields, but, potato-tomato. Bonsai has undergone a large rewrite over the last couple years that's nearing completion. A world edit is defined as a bunch of SDF paramete…
I have ALOT of free time since quitting my job. 0) money-money-money: A sub 15Kb server-less opinionated household budgeting tool [0]. Why? Its made to be extremely compressible, so you can edit your household budget and share back and forth with your partner via short-links or QR codes. The idea is you edit your budget, send the link to other party, they can view or edit and send back to you without a server in the…
I’m working on translating the Renaissance — it was mostly written in Latin and 90% of it has never been translated to English. Even big names, like Ficino, Durer, Kircher, Fludd and Drebbel. And that’s Latin— things much more sparse in other classical languages. https://SourceLibrary.org is a hub that now provides over 20,000 translations of classical texts in dozens of languages (Latin and Greek but also Chinese, S…
I'm building InterviewMe ( https://interviewme.now/ ). It lets employers interview you via AI and is intended as a better way for people to get deep answers about your work history and experience than they could by looking at a simple online resume or LinkedIn. You upload your resume, answer some questions about your background, optionally upload any other documents you have (cover letters, awards, articles, etc) and…
Result so far (paper, 34 trading days): the no-AI control is +13.0%, the S&P 500 is +3.4%, and 25 of the 28 AI accounts are below the control. The best single account is a Grok-written "patience" book at +40%, which I treat as one lucky account in a choppy market, not a finding. At the trade level the AIs and the control look the same: 3,212 closed positions, median +0.06%, median hold about 2 hours. They trade a lot and mostly go nowhere.
