Imagine a restaurant chain called “Macros.”
You walk in, tap your target macros into a kiosk — protein, carbs, fats, calories — and choose your preferred ingredients: chicken breast, rice, potatoes, greek yogurt, eggs, vegetables, etc.
The system instantly designs the optimal meal to hit your numbers exactly.
Then a cook behind the counter assembles it Chipotle-style, weighing every ingredient on a scale down to the gram.
Fast food for people who track their calories.
@DeanTTraining why aren’t you doing this?
Private equity healthy snacks be like:
Aunt Marsha’s gluten-free, soy-free, dairy-free farm-to-table chocolate morsels. From our loving family to yours.
Processed on shared equipment with gluten, soy, dairy, weed killer, military-grade uranium, and Palantir & Peloton data.
@dennizor It's either bloat via information or exhaustion via action unless you possess an uncommon ability to focus on moderately-difficult tasks for extended periods
It’s a work in progress, but, yes, you can run Claude Code through a Furby.
Hardware:
• Stock Furby Connect (2016). No mods, just BLE
• Mac
• USB mic for voice capture
BLE (Bleak):
• Connects via GATT characteristic to Furby's GeneralPlus chip
• Two command types: antenna LED color [0x14, R, G, B] and stock actions (eyes + motors + sound) [0x13, ...]
• Write-only
• Auto-reconnect on drop
Voice (sounddevice + Whisper):
• 16kHz mono stream, RMS energy detection
• Starts recording at 0.3s above threshold, stops after 1.5s silence
• Clips sent to Whisper API → checked for wake phrase ("hey furby")
• Wake word only → records a second clip for the actual command
Claude Code (subprocess):
• Spawns claude -p "<command>" with stream-json output
• --dangerously-skip-permissions (no terminal to confirm)
• Whitelisted tools: Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Grep, Glob
Resumes session for conversation context
• Parses stdout line by line → system, assistant, result events
Furby reactions:
• Every Claude event maps to a stock Furby action + antenna color
• Thinking → giggle + purple
• Writing files → hollywood lights + green
• Bash → ninja dream + yellow
• Success → stars + gold
• Error → eyes squeezed + red
• + 12 more
Working on custom DLC eyes now:
• 64x64 pixel art uploaded to Furby's flash over BLE at ~4KB/s
• Terminal prompt, magnifying glass, loading spinner, checkmark, X mark
• 6-bit palette-indexed, packed 4px per 3 bytes
I have a massive Furby-induced headache. Do not recommend trying this at home.
OpenClaw just pulled the greatest April fools day prank of all time.
It just leaked my social security number, API keys, and passwords on the Internet.
Seriously impressed with the product
