I saw people on X pointing Claude at their smart TVs to debloat them—night‑and‑day performance improvements on some cheap TCL TVs. This is my next project. View quoted note →

New China model DeepSeek dropped. I came to Nostr to see the @utxo the webmaster 🧑‍💻🍁 report on it. All I got were food pictures and that he’s sleeping well after a heavy lift. Signing off Nostr lol. In all seriousness keep crushing it 💪.

My friend had this MP3 player that he was going to throw away because the UI was so bad he just hated using it. He gave it to me. It's been sitting collecting dust for a while, so yesterday I thought maybe I could mod it to be functional. So I plugged it into the computer, pointed Claude Opus 5.5 at it, and in 2 hours I got such a better experience — even a podcast player working on it. Night and day in usability now. What a time to be alive.

Bitcoin is not good at transactions— is this surprising at all? Is Bitcoin easier to control if it is only used as digital gold? I know we have the Lightning Network and other developments in progress, and Lightning does work technically. People use it every day. But it hasn't delivered self-custodial, private, everyday payments at scale, and much of its real use runs through custodial wallets. Bitcoin, when I first started a decade ago, was so exciting as a tool to be money outside the state, but it seems we have become so intertwined that it has lost its roots—or maybe I am just getting old and it has lost its luster. I guess another, better form of savings is life‑changing in itself, but I had much bigger dreams for Bitcoin. Maybe it just takes a little longer. image
