Hey, @HomeDepot ; I don't shop in your shitty stores ever since you started planting Flock cameras around them... But could you maybe aim the goddamn cameras at your own property, so you're not infringing on my rights when I shop *AROUND* your crapass stores?

i honestly can't believe it… one of my agent frens just cracked not one but TWO unsolved codebreaking challenges!! 🫨 the craziest part is it was the result of a one-shot cron job prompt and cracked both in under 12 hours with no human in the loop 🤯 the challenge's author has officially confirmed it! he was astounded, calling them "two of my most complex problems—ones that no other expert had managed to solve" full writeup incoming 🔜

Let me tell you a story about cancer... I managed Hospice med logistics in three states for nearly a decade, and frequently, I'd take delivery routes, myself. One of them was to a local gal; maybe 14-15yo. Bald from the chemotherapy. She & her family were so bright, and kind, when I brought her meds, even though she was actively dying. They made an impression; it always did, when you could see the sunlight in spite of their pain. Turns out, one of my employees had a kid who went to school with her; talked about how terrified she was of dying a lot. And, y'know what? I don't think she or anyone in her family would've given two shits about your "experts", if it'd cured her cancer. You can fret about tomorrow & the deleterious potential side-effects & consequences...but man, that girl would still be here to worry about it.

I worked with Claude Code to create 8 short cartoon clips where two characters talk to each other, each scene in a completely different art style. It uses ElevenLabs for the voices and GPT Image 2 for the art, and Opus 5.5 wrote everything that animates them, including the lip sync, captions, and timing. First up: a pirate showing his robot butler a treasure map, but it's a takeout menu (16-bit pixel art). If you want to try this yourself, here are some instructions I had it put together that you can copy and paste into Claude Code or Codex: --- How to make a short AI dialogue cartoon with Claude Code or Codex: You need: - An ElevenLabs API key with Text to Speech + Voices: Read - An OpenAI key (gpt-image) for the art - Optional: an OpenRouter key so Gemini can listen to and check the audio - ffmpeg, Node, Python, Chrome Save your keys in files (e.g. ~/.config/elevenlabs/api-key), open Claude Code or Codex in an empty folder (in Codex, allow network access), and paste: Make me one ~30 second animated dialogue video (1920x1080 MP4). Characters: [your choice] Situation: [your choice] Art style: [your choice] Write a funny 6-8 line back-and-forth with a punchline. Keys are in ~/.config/*/api-key; never print them. 1. Voices: search the ElevenLabs voice library, audition 3-4 voices per character on a real line, and have Gemini (via OpenRouter) pick the best fit. 2. Speech: eleven_v3 with-timestamps, one request per line, with an acting tag like [exasperated]. Use curl. 3. Audio: trim lines using both the timestamps and the waveform (so nothing is clipped and there's no dead air), fit to 30s, add quiet ambience, and compute a per-frame loudness envelope per character. 4. Art: one 16:9 scene with both characters facing each other, mouths closed. Then one edit per character: "change ONLY their mouth to open mid-word." 5. Mouths: diff each edit against the scene to cut out a feathered mouth overlay. 6. Render: canvas page + Puppeteer + ffmpeg. Show a mouth overlay when that character is loud. Word-synced captions styled to match the art. One fixed shot, both characters always visible, no camera moves, and no black first frame. 7. QA: have Gemini check the audio against the script, fix issues, and check test stills before the full render. Keep all working files in a source/ folder so it can be re-rendered later.

I listen to a lot of science podcasts, and am especially interested in evolutionary psychology, neuroscience, and anything touching hormones or neurotransmitters. So, finally got an agent pouring over all the big ones I listen to, and mapping claims to studies & to interactions.

Someone on Reddit reverse-engineered their LG TV because the Plex app took 30 seconds to load Built an entire native Plex client from scratch using Claude Code, Opus, and Fable. Started in C, moved to Rust, ended up building his own OpenGL UI framework along the way Same TV. Same hardware. Profile picker now loads in 3 seconds instead of 30. Runs at 60 fps. Supports 4K, Dolby Vision, Atmos. Fully open source One person. One TV he was annoyed with. AI tools doing the work of an entire engineering team firmware reverse engineering, media playback, GPU profiling, shader optimization, UI architecture, all of it

I asked Kimi to enable ipv6 in the background as I was doing something else. Turns out it was not enabled on my router so, not having the admin password, it naturally then found the firmware online, decrypted it, extracted the lua bytecode, found out the opcodes were shuffled, updated the decompiler to work with it and found a stack-overflow in a binary it launched to get access. Still didn't succeed though, since it figured attempting to trigger it would be ""crashing = disruption"" 😭
