Bro made a billion dollars and now wants to watch borderline homeless people do stupid shit for like 30 dollars. We are legit living in a Black Mirror episode lmao
Imagine every pixel on your screen, streamed live directly from a model. No HTML, no layout engine, no code. Just exactly what you want to see.
@eddiejiao_obj, @drewocarr and I built a prototype to see how this could actually work, and set out to make it real. We're calling it Flipbook. (1/5)
Read this months back, and it's one of the very few substacks that have stayed with me. I've talked about it to anyone who just gave me time to yap honestly 😅😅
“All of your relationships will get better when you learn you don’t need to react to or fix people’s problems. People just want to be heard and accepted. Maturing is realizing that everyone is capable and your role is to not be anyone else’s savior. Not everyone wants to get better. And that’s okay. Some people have an identity tied to sickness. Others fear true wellness because it is the unknown and the unknown is unpredictable. There is comfort in knowing exactly what your life will look like, even if that reality is making you sick. Healing is a daily event. You can’t “go somewhere” to be healed; you must go inward to be healed. This means a daily commitment to doing the work. You are responsible for your healing and will be an active participant in that process. Your level of activity is directly connected to your level of healing. Small and consistent choices are the path to deep transformation. The familiar feels safe, that is until we teach ourselves that discomfort is temporary and a necessary part of transformation.”

someone built a $96 3D-PRINTED MANPADS rocket that recalculates its mid-air trajectory using a $5 sensor and piano wire
its called Project Canard
it integrates with distributed camera nodes to triangulate airborne targets and update flight paths in real-time
it proves the barrier to advanced hardware has completely collapsed, moving precision weapons from defense labs to consumer garages
the entire launcher and interceptor frame is 3D printed in PLA and runs off a standard off-the-shelf ESP32 microcontroller
it even spins up a local Wi-Fi network so you can monitor live telemetry and arm the system directly from your laptop

I built Archie - an AI-powered procedural architecture generator.
Describe a building in natural language and Claude interprets it into a
25-parameter genome that drives a Three.js 3D generator in real-time. Breed
variants through genetic crossover, tweak every parameter from chaos to
verticality, and export to GLTF for Blender/Rhino/Unreal.
Features:
- Text-to-architecture via Claude
- Evolutionary breeding with a 4-variant selection grid
- Batch generation of 8+ variants from a single prompt
- AI critique that references real architectural movements
- 6 style presets (Deconstructivist, Brutalist, Metabolist, Hi-Tech,
Parametric, Minimal)
- 6 environment moods with dynamic lighting and fog
- GLTF + PNG export
