Apple spent 7 years and $3,500 per unit building... Vision Pro, this guy did something better with a webcam in his bedroom. And no, this isn't a render, it's running live on his laptop right now with a webcam pointed at his hands. The webcam tracks 21 points on each of his hands in real time, every fingertip, every knuckle, every joint, mapped to a 3D skeleton at 60 frames per second. A piece of digital silk is rigged to that skeleton, so when he opens his palm the fabric drapes across his fingers, when he closes his hand it crumples in his fist, when he tilts his wrist the cloth slides off and folds with real physics, light reflecting off it like actual material. He can grab it, stretch it, throw it, catch it, all with his bare hands and zero hardware on his body. No headset, no gloves, no $3,500 face computer, no 600 gram brick on his skull, no 2 hour battery, no Apple ID, no App Store. Just a webcam, TouchDesigner and a kid who saw the Vision Pro keynote and thought, I can do that for free. Apple has 3,000 engineers, $200 billion in cash and 7 years of development time, they built a face computer most people will never own. This guy has a laptop, a webcam and a weekend, he built a future most people can actually use. The mixed reality industry just got embarrassed by a guy in a white t-shirt.show more

This guy built a visual scanner that reads 468... points on his face and 42 points on his hands from a regular webcam and turns them into a cloud of thousands of particles right between his palms. Inside, MediaPipe and TouchDesigner are linked: the first captures hands and face from the webcam with high accuracy, the second turns those coordinates into a live plane and feeds it into a POP system that instantly generates a swarm of particles in the shape of a head. No studio, no render farmer, no VR headset. Just a laptop, a webcam, and 1 TouchDesigner session. And traditional VJ studios keep teams of 5 people on a setup with lighting, custom hardware, and commercial plugins, while his expenses are only a TouchDesigner subscription and a regular USB camera. One laptop runs MediaPipe and TouchDesigner simultaneously, holds the camera stream at 60 FPS without drops, and in parallel processes 468 face points + 21 points on each hand. The camera captures frame after frame, MediaPipe in real time sends TouchDesigner the finger coordinates and face geometry, and the POP operator inside the engine translates those numbers into thousands of particle points with colors from bright pink to gold. This setup immediately defines the role of the tool and the limits of its autonomy. It knows where the fingertips are at every moment of the frame. It knows how to read the face geometry at any angle to the camera. It knows how to draw a swarm of particles between them with the right color and contour. → MediaPipe pulls 468 points from the face and 21 points from each hand, 60 times per second → TouchDesigner receives those coordinates, builds a virtual rectangle between the fingertips, and feeds it into the POP system → POP generates thousands of particle points in the shape of a head, coloring them in a gradient from bright pink to gold → The HUD layer adds green corners and a blue neon frame, styling the image like an AR interface → All layers assemble into 1 real-time frame that projects back onto the video in the camera window → The final image is recorded to a file or broadcast to a projector for a live installation And only when the guy spreads his hands wider does the plane between the palms stretch; brings them together, it narrows. Otherwise the system runs on its own. And when he moves from his home room to a concert hall, the same laptop with the same webcam launches the same TouchDesigner session in just 5 minutes, without reconfiguration, without a new team, and without a single line of new code. In his work setup there is no studio of his own and no team for assembly. On the desk sits a laptop with a webcam, on top run MediaPipe and TouchDesigner with POP operators, and the same setup through a USB camera moves to any concert without a new configuration. Out of everything I have seen this year, this is the cleanest Creative Coding setup on 1 laptop: 0 render farms, 0 studio lighting, and between them 3 libraries, thousands of particle points, and 1 webcam.show more

Cancelled ChatGPT -> Built JARVIS -> Pays $0 ->... it works offline + it's smarter than the $20/month version. No WiFi needed, no cloud, no API keys, no rate limits, no queues, no $20/month just to ask a server in Virginia for the weather. Just a local model running directly on the laptop hardware, voice activated, system integrated, controlling apps, answering questions, doing the work. Iron Man had JARVIS embedded in his suit, this guy has it embedded in his MacBook and it works on a plane, in a basement, on a remote cabin with zero signal. OpenAI is burning $700,000 a day on infrastructure to deliver something this guy runs for free. Anthropic charges $200/month for unlimited Claude access, microsoft built Copilot into every product they sell. This guy skipped all of it, downloaded a model and made his laptop the smartest device in the room. No subscription. No login. No internet. No data sent anywhere ever. The most powerful AI assistant on earth is now the one running locally on hardware you already own. ChatGPT charges you to think slower, he pays nothing and thinks alone, he made it himself.show more

THIS 12-YEAR-OLD CHINESE KID JUST BUILT THE IRON MAN... INTERFACE WITHOUT WRITING A LINE OF CODE He waves his hand and 6500 particles on the screen behind him morph into Saturn, then a globe, then an alien mountain range. The trick is MediaPipe tracking his fingers through a laptop webcam, mapped to a particle physics engine running in the browser. He didn't write the code. He told Gemini what he wanted to see, copy-pasted the output, and shipped it to GitHub the same night. The ceiling for what a kid in his bedroom can build has quietly become absurd. Last year this was a Stanford grad project and this year it is a Tuesday... Save this time capsule from 2026 ↓show more

Anthropic didn't build his memory system. He built it... himself, and what you're looking at is the proof. Same source, no gatekeeping. The Obsidian CEO published it, anyone can install it. That's not a screensaver on his second monitor. It's his vault. Every point of light is a note. Every cluster is a project his AI already understands without being told again. He doesn't even touch the keyboard to move through it. One hand up, and the whole cluster tilts and spins, like he's turning a globe that happens to be his own head. A year ago he opened a new AI tab every morning and explained himself from scratch. Who he is, what he's building, what he wants. 200+ hours a year, just re-introducing himself to a machine. Then he stopped writing prompts and started writing one file instead. It loaded before every session. His goals, his projects, his blind spots. Claude read it first, every time, without asking. Now the cluster on that screen keeps growing on its own. New notes link themselves. Nothing gets explained twice. He's not showing off code. He's showing off the machine that finally stopped forgetting him.show more

A 17 year old high schooler told his mom... he needed a Steam Deck for school. She said no, it's a gaming console. He said it runs Linux. She didn't know what that means. Bought it for his birthday. $280. He never installed a single game on it. Opened the terminal, installed Claude Code and typed his first command while holding the device like a PlayStation controller. Thumbsticks on both sides. Code editor in the middle. The most ridiculous dev setup anyone has ever seen. At second 0:09 you can read what he typed into the terminal: claude your code looks like absolute shit Claude didn't argue. Just started rewriting the shader, adding bloom effects, fixing chromatic aberration and improving the particle system. On a gaming console held in two hands on a couch. His friends play Fortnite on their Steam Decks. He builds software on his while lying in bed. He set up Claude Code with custom skills, hooks that auto run tests every time a file is saved and memory that remembers every project across sessions. The stuff most developers pay $200 a month for and use at maybe 20% capacity. He runs it on a $280 handheld and squeezes out every feature. Within three weeks he had built and sold four small apps to local businesses. A booking page for a barber shop, an inventory tracker for a vape store, a menu site for a taco truck and a scheduling tool for a dog groomer. All built on a Steam Deck in his bedroom. All coded by Claude while he gave instructions with his thumbs. Made over $13,000 in his first month. His mom still thinks he plays games on it. His teacher caught him using it during study hall. Looked at the screen expecting a game. Saw green code scrolling and Claude asking: Do you want to make this edit to main.js ? Teacher had no idea what she was looking at. Told him to put it away. He closed the lid. Claude kept running inside. A $280 gaming console that his mom bought thinking it was a toy is now a development workstation that earns more per month than her car payment. Setup time: 20 minutes once. Time he saves every day: 3 to 5 hours. Money made in month one: $13,000. Games installed: zero. His grandpa asked him to install FIFA last weekend. He said the console is busy. Grandpa asked doing what. He said working. Grandpa didn't ask again.show more

When James kills Eddie he doesn't say a word,... but his face says it all; He knows it isn't his first time killing somebody. He stares at his hands because he checks his missing wedding ring (the ring mark is visible), then tries to feel where the ring used to be. He took it off in a fit of anger shortly before he killed Mary, most likely. It's also important to note that he stares at his hands and feels his missing wedding ring the exact same way in the opening cutscene. #silenthill #silenthill2 #silenthill2remakeshow more

The most retarded thing about Zack's Pixel Fold battery... explosion is his claim (and people repeating it) that this is the first time ever that this happened. Well YEAH because it was also the FIRST TIME that he pushed it way beyond his usual destruction and kept trying to fold it over at the breaking point (the antenna) way after it already got destroyed On all his other ""tests"" he always stops when the phone breaks. Not to much here. After it broke he tried to completely fold it and THAT was the point that damaged the battery which resulted in it starting to smoke. Don't blame fucking Google, blame his retarded ""testing"" It's literally the FIRST time he did this to a phone. Not the first time this happening in his tests". It would happen almost every single time if he did this to all his phones and foldables. For comparison on the Fold 7 he just stopped after a quick bent. On the Pixel he didn't.show more

57 YEARS OLD GUY IN US MADE MORE SELLING... THIS TOOL THAN HE MADE IN 30 YEARS WORKING ON CONSTRUCTIONS Here's the story: a guy named John, worked all his live as a construction worker, his main job was building foundations for commercial and private properties He was getting too old and the job was physically exhausting, so he took a risk: He understood what problems his part of job has and started searching how to fix it He found this tool for reinforcement bending and came to his employer with an offer: Your firm spends $5,000/a month per guy who is responsible for this job + it takes 1 hour what this machine does in 1 minute I don't remember the whole math behind this offer, but he came up with $5,000 price per this device and they were ready to buy it He sold 20 of this to his firm, then he went to other firms and sold another 200 pieces Overall he managed to make around $500,000 of pure profit, making him a good retire money The guy saw the opportunity, took the risk and made it.show more

We’ve seen guys like Judge, Stanton, Wells and others... tinker with their stances to get into a better hitting position to attack strikes in the zone. When a guy like Volpe has struggled to hit consistently for his first 3 years, is constantly late on mid-velocity heaters in the middle of the zone and is constantly off-balance when he misses the off-speed stuff; you think to take a look at his pre-pitch habits especially what he’s doing with his hands and stride, and consider eliminating some of the unnecessary movements to simplify things and be ready to attack a pitch in the strike zone sooner. Volpe starts with his hands high above his head with some waggle to probably keep his hands moving and stay in rhythm, then as he strides he drops his hands into the slot while he loads, then wraps his hands behind him as he strides and keeps his weight back on his backside. That front foot needs to get down early as he gets his hands back to be ready to smoke something in the zone. Why hasn’t someone suggested dropping his hands pre-pitch in his stance to get them into the slot early, keep them back to prevent wrapping, and cut out one less moving part to get him better ready to attack pitches in the zone? He can even still have some waggle back there if he prefers to keep his hands moving. In theory if his hands are down and back already, all he needs to do is get his front foot down in time? It’s worth a try lolshow more

Saw this today and it honestly broke me a... little. This man was sitting on the curb with a small food container, clearly not much. Right next to him was his dog, wrapped in a little blanket, lying on a makeshift bed. The guy opens his meal, takes a few bites… and then without even thinking twice, he feeds his dog from the same box. You could tell it wasn’t just “a pet.” That dog was family. They looked at each other with that kind of trust that you can’t fake. It’s crazy how people with the least often give the most. No phone out for attention, no crowd watching, just a quiet moment between two souls surviving together. I don’t know their story, but I know love when I see it. And this right here, this is love.show more

After a lifetime together, neither of them wanted to... let go. The old lion no longer has the strength he once did. His steps are slower, his mane is weathered, and his eyes carry the weight of many years. As his caretaker kneels beside the mane in tears, he gently leans into her hands and closes his eyes, trusting the same person who stood beside him through every season of his life. No words are needed. Just a lion, an old friend, and one quiet moment that says everything. Some goodbyes are spoken with a touch instead of words.show more

Elon Musk gave the entire entertainment industry its expiration... date, and he is the one building the thing that kills it. Musk: “My guess is that we see the first compelling half hour, pure AI show next year.” Next year. A complete show generated entirely by AI. No writers. No actors. No cameras. No sets. No crew. No studio. Just a prompt and enough compute to render a reality that never physically existed. And shows are the easy part. Musk: “I say probably we’re maybe three years away from AI does the whole video game.” A show plays the same way every time. A game has to generate a living world that reacts to every decision in real time across every single frame. That is a fundamentally harder class of problem. And Musk put three years on it. Right now a single AAA title takes seven years and half a billion dollars across thousands of engineers and artists just to ship it. Musk is describing a world where one person types a paragraph and gets something comparable. The entire value proposition of a multi-billion dollar industry lives inside that gap. And it closes in thirty-six months. But the prediction is not the story. The person making it is. This is not an analyst speculating from the sidelines. This is the man building the largest AI compute clusters on the planet. The man who built xAI from zero in under two years. The man stacking hundreds of thousands of GPUs into facilities designed to do exactly what he is describing. When Musk says three years, he is not guessing about what someone else might eventually ship. He is reading you a delivery date off his own roadmap. Every media company on Earth is valued on a single assumption. That quality content is expensive and difficult to produce at scale. That one assumption is the structural foundation underneath every studio, every network, and every publisher in existence. Musk is dismantling it with raw compute. The studios still parading thousand-person production teams are not demonstrating strength. They are advertising the exact cost structure that one person with a prompt and a GPU allocation is about to make irrelevant. And it does not stop at entertainment. If AI can generate an interactive world that responds to human input in real time, it can generate anything. Advertising. Architecture. Training simulations. Product design. Every industry built on humans manually constructing visual experiences frame by frame is sitting on the same countdown Musk just read out loud. Now zoom out. Because this is not just an industry story. For the entire history of human civilization, the distance between imagining a world and actually creating one required thousands of people, millions of hours, and billions of dollars. That distance built Hollywood. That distance built the gaming industry. That distance made content scarce and studios powerful. Musk is collapsing that distance to zero. When the gap between imagining something and it existing disappears, every business model built on the difficulty of creation disappears with it. That is not disruption. That is a full inversion of how human beings create. Musk did not make a casual prediction on that podcast. He told you what he is building. He told you the timeline. And he told you which industries do not survive it. The entertainment industry is still debating whether this future is real. Musk is not part of that debate. He is building. And he just told you the delivery date.show more

the most beautiful DIY robot build i've ever seen:... this guy turned a robot dog into an off-road wheelchair so his dad could go hiking again his dad used to run marathons, but 20 years ago multiple sclerosis put him in a wheelchair. so his son Jake took a Unitree B2-W (an industrial robot with 4 legs and a wheel on each foot) and built a custom seat on top. on flat ground it rolls just like a normal wheelchair. but when it reaches rocks, water, or stairs, each leg can lift and adjust on its own, allowing it to step right over them. getting this to work safely took a while. > the robot was never designed to carry a person (it tipped over many times during testing) > so Jake spent 3 years recalibrating it. he tested it on his friends first, then once it was stable enough his dad finally got to try it. > and after 20 years in a wheelchair, he climbed a hiking trail again. a chair like this could eventually give wheelchair users access to trails, beaches, broken sidewalks, all the places that are still out of reach today. and one dude built it in his garage lol we truly live in a golden age where a single person can create world-changing techshow more
