stets··on Way to Play Super Mario 64: On Apple Vision Pro
Have you demo'd one? I use mine a few hours a day...great for pairing with a macbook and working from and awesome for movies too. Bit too expensive though
stets··on AI Makes Me Sad
> If I added a few vibecoded projects to my resume, the gaping maw of every startup, enterprise company, and FAANG behemoth would open to me

I have plenty of vibecoded projects. I didn't know it was that easy.

Dear: startups and FAANG: please send offers.

Not sure I'm gonna make it past paragraph one tbh.

This looks like a lot of fun. I wish they'd name it better though, the name makes me think it's a raspberry pi related thing. or a piece of hardware.

Super cool!

I'm an AI-assisted coder myself...but one thing I can't stand is the way Claude writes. It's so frustrating and cringe. Tells from the README:

emdash, byte-exact, "The full engineering log", piggybacks, "none of this is possible without it", etc

A remedy I've found for this is in my Claude.md to tell it: write like a mix of simple english wikipedia, mr. rogers and ernest hemingway.

> As I’ve mentioned before, we now live in a world where creative people have to prove they created the thing they created.

Do you? Just stop caring. I don't think it makes sense to keep asserting that you're an AI vegan in order to please randos. You'll always get hate creating/building anything online. The people that enjoy your work won't care if it's AI or not or they'll believe you.

stets··on A love letter to flashcards
Really curious exactly how you learn things like chess with flash cards. French makes sense as I would guess you just have a word or phrase in both languages.

What do you do for topics like chess?

Ha! Got a good laugh.

Two suggestions:

- Let me enter the time with my keyboard - Make your input numpad match a PC keyboard's numpad, not a phone's

Founder here, thanks for sharing! :-)
stets··on I let a bunch of strangers control my receipt printer
A week ago I got a receipt printer on eBay to play around with.

I launched Claude code and had it connect and print something, cool! Then I decided to hook it up to the internet so anyone could send me a message. Someone asked for a camera pointed at it, so I did. Of course that was a bad idea… So I hooked up Claude and made it reject naughty content.

It’s been a week and I’ve added tons of features: a mod panel to play with the queue settings, turn the cutter on and off, ban people, etc.

We even have my laptop playing AI voice reactions to the content that gets printed. The livestream has been going for like 4 days straight now. I added some basic monitoring, develop features that the audience wants, refill the roll.

I’ve made a tiny tiny amount of money from this. Yes I feel bad about “wasting paper” but also it gives people joy.

I’ve lost control of my life, I’ve become printer man.

I want this for Gitlab so badly

It was meant to be a direct copy of Drudge and they have a garbage mobile interface haha.

Maybe I will consider optimizing though!

That's good input actually. I should have added details on my usage of Claude Code.

Hell yeah

- I think it just came with a cable, USB-C. no plug. - I do have a battery, but I hear most people pull them and just plug in with none. - No, came with USB-C - Haven't checked! Maybe I will

Thx, Wifi! Was down for a bit yesterday but back up. No downtime due to volume of traffic
stets··on Show HN: Vibe Coding a static site on a $25 Walmart Phone
What? The how-to is the concerning part and not the code?
stets··on Show HN: Vibe Coding a static site on a $25 Walmart Phone
The only downtime has been due to phantom process killer (I think) still killing Andronix. I can't figure out why. Traffic was "only" 522 uniques today, easyyy for such a small site behind Nginx

This is an awesome idea!

That'd be cool too, wanna hack on it together?
stets··on Show HN: Vibe Coding a static site on a $25 Walmart Phone
it was $25
stets··on Show HN: Vibe Coding a static site on a $25 Walmart Phone
Yep, I have worked in IT professionally for many years.

I also didn't copy and paste, Claude ran the commands for me, so it was even easier than that.

You are making a lot of assumptions.

stets··on Show HN: Vibe Coding a static site on a $25 Walmart Phone
Thx! That's a good next step for sure. Rn git is my backup
stets··on Show HN: Vibe Coding a static site on a $25 Walmart Phone
The site was all "written" + configured on the device itself :-)
stets··on Show HN: Vibe Coding a static site on a $25 Walmart Phone
LLM inference is remote, yes, but tool calls happen locally on the device. So CC knows it has access to modify files, perform bash commands, etc.
stets··on Show HN: Vibe Coding a static site on a $25 Walmart Phone
Definitely, but with just standard playstore apps. You really can't get much hardware access from Andronix/Termux AFAIK so GPS, camera, etc don't work.

I had a vision for a fun project, made decisions, tried to understand why to make certain decisions or what was working or not.

I didn't write the front page index.html and I don't want to. Sure, I prompted it how I wanted to look, though.

tl;dr I had fun and learned stuff.
