APPLE JUST GOT HUMILIATED BY AN $8 JACKET BADGE
A random Japanese maker saw Apple's $3,499 Vision Pro Persona and decided to build the same thing for the price of a pizza.
Same real-time face mirroring.
Same natural expressions and blinks.
Same low latency reaction when you smile.
Apple needed a full headset with M2 chip, R1 processor, 12 cameras and LiDAR.
He did it with one ESP32, a tiny camera and MediaPipe running 468 landmarks on-device.
Total cost: eight dollars.
This is what happens when one weekend hacker destroys a billion-dollar feature in a jacket pin.
The hardware moat just evaporated.
Full system in the video below.
If you’re still not using /goal, you’re already falling behind.
/goal is absolutely insane.
You tell the agent exactly what you want done and it works for hours on complete autopilot — no babysitting, no constant intervention.
It evaluates its own progress, fixes mistakes, and keeps pushing until the task is completed perfectly.
While you’re still manually checking every step and rewriting prompts, other people are running autonomous agents that deliver 5-10x more output.
This feature is already live in Claude Code and Codex.
Want to work this way?
Use this prompt and put your agents on real autopilot:
THIS GUY BUILT A PHYSICAL DEVICE THAT LIVES ON HIS DESK AND TRACKS CLAUDE CODE USAGE IN REAL TIME
not a dashboard
not a browser tab
not another extension
an actual glowing hardware meter dedicated to one thing:
telling you exactly how cooked your Claude limits are
it’s called clawdmeter
and the craziest part?
it runs on a $32 ESP32 dev board with a 480x480 AMOLED display
honestly it feels less like a side project and more like the beginning of an entire “AI developer accessories” category
we officially reached the era where people are building physical anxiety monitors for coding agents
and yes — it’s open source on github
the claude code ecosystem is evolving faster than most startups right now
at this point anthropic could literally sell:
— desk companions
— token monitors
— AI usage keyboards
— coding status lamps
and people would buy all of it instantly
the future of software somehow became hardware again
Remember when I mentioned earlier buying Billions NFT masks on OpenSea and that there would most likely be a drop for it? Well, that’s exactly what happened - Billions published the airdrop criteria, and the masks were included:
— On-chain assets: Genesis NFT; Supermasks NFT; $SPOL stakers
Today the checker went live, where the allocation in $BILL tokens was supposed to be shown. I checked - it says “Not eligible.” I thought, okay, probably just a small amount anyway, whatever… but that wasn’t the case.
A friend texts me about the
claim. I say I have 0. He replies it’s strange because he got 130k tokens (~$4K at current price) for those same NFTs.
That got my attention, since I have 6 NFTs that I bought for around $70 each.
I went back to double-check everything:
— I was registered for the drop
— NFTs are on my account
— everything was done correctly
👉 End result: 0 allocation
I went to Discord and asked “Where are the tokens?” - got muted
I have a feeling I’m not the only one, and there may be many affected users. Let’s not stay silent and at least support this post - hopefully Billions will review these accounts and maybe create a form so everyone can be properly reconsidered

I'm back again after a long hiatus.
I can't get myself together and fully return to Twitter and continue working.
And right away, I did this work for @ColbFinance in the morning.
All day long, I do nothing but play Counter-Strike.
I still want to continue contributing to @ColbFinance , a wonderful community, in my opinion.
