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:
https://rtsoft.com/temp/daily_digest_2_25.htmlCouple 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.
