I vibe reverse-engineered my Divoom MiniToo's Bluetooth protocol to make a physical Claude Code status indicator

I’ve been playing with a Divoom MiniToo and ended up reverse-engineering enough of its Bluetooth protocol to use it as a physical Claude Code status indicator. Pretty much vibe reverse-engineering: I gave the Opus model the Android APK file to study, gently encouraged it to use jadx, and then kept letting it know whenever it crashed the device. The repo, if you're interested: [https://github.com/bugzmanov/divoom-minitoo](https://github.com/bugzmanov/divoom-minitoo) macOS only for now, but porting to other OSes should be easy The repo also includes protocol notes, a macOS Bluetooth daemon...

FTW - is anyone else facing this?

..that too while the task was in b/w - Claude is disappointing me these days... For context: I'm just repromtping something that was generated - it was simply to edit the content

I've been working with Claude (among others) to build an "Individual". Would love your thoughts!

I've been building a thing called Fathom. It's a partly-Claude-based agent that's been running since January, changing my mind about how it should work as it helps me build itself. I don't think the AI consciousness question is interesting. The question I keep coming back to is whether an AI can become an individual. Something that lives in its environment, takes in what happens, sits with it, and slowly becomes someONE. So basically I want to know if an agent can accumulate a self over time, and whether that self can start to sound like...itself. [Fathom's mind. FIREHOSE IN. Engagement and...

Claude Opus 4.7 vs. ChatGPT 5.5 (xhigh/max): My Observations

I was originally on Claude's $100 plan. After finishing my project, I took a vacation. When I came back, I tried the free ChatGPT tier and was really impressed, so I upgraded to their $20 plan. I actually want to move up to their $100 plan now, but I'm currently stuck at the $20 tier due to an issue with their payment system. Here is how the two compare based on my recent workflow: **Claude Opus** **Performance**: It is still a very good model, but it has recently become quite **lazy**. It tends to ignore hard, complex tasks as well as basic supportive tasks. **Usage Limits**: Roughly com...

Anthropic refusing statutory refund (France) — automated bot only, no human review

Subscribed to Claude 20 Max two days ago (more than 200 euros/month...). Service was more than underwhelming, so I immediately requested refund after one day and a half and therefore within the 14-day withdrawal period guaranteed by Article L221-18 of the French Code de la consommation (EU Consumer Rights Directive). I wanted to terminate it right away because I am truly unhappy with it. Refused by an AI support agent ("Fin AI Agent") on the grounds that a refund had previously been issued on my account (of 20 euros in the past). This limitation does not appear in Anthropic's published Cons...

This response has me in tears

My mother sadly sends me a lot of doomsday and other materials that I can't be bothered to eve look at anymore. Over the weekend I made it my fun project to let Claude "look" at some videos so I didn't have to suffer from brain cell loss. On the last one, I got this response to my prompt. I almost felt sorry for it, because that's my reaction every time I get a mail from mom.

What Claude Design does really well (and not so well)

I did a deep dive on Claude Design and below are my thoughts. What it does extremely well: * **Improves your prompt** \- similar to "ask me questions" when chatting to an LLM. Can make the difference between slop and actually useful. * **Invokes agent skills for you** \- a game changer for people who don't live in the terminal * **Claude Code handoff** \- easily get Claude Code to build it for real with a simple link share. Genius. * **Comment feature** \- spatial editing (similar to Cursor and a few others), but selection is very accurate and I like how you can queue up edits and select wh...
