@levelsio @BetterDisplay does it and also allows for hardware controls where native macOS doesn’t recognise it.

Today I made a new free open source app called [ ☀️ XDR Boost ] for MacOS
Before I use Vivid to make my MacBook Pro 16" screen brighter, it uses the XDR feature to pump the brightness to its physical max (and yes it's safe)
Problem is Vivid is buggy, I close my MacBook and if I open it next time, Vivid says it's ON but it's not bright, I have to then switch it ON and OFF and ON again, and it's annoying, many people have the same bug but they can't fix it
So I asked Claude Code to just build my own version of Vivid and it took 5 minutes
Now my screen is bright forever!
I asked Claude Code to make it an open source repo, my first ever I think:
github.com/levelsio/xdr-b…



@levelsio@levelsio
Anyone else running @thevividapp And you have to Disable -> Enable it again everytime you close your MacBook? Been a bug for ages?

moving out soon and need to fix a door before the handoff. the problem is the vestibule; i can't have neighbors see me doing repairs and snitch.
so i asked my smart home to run survival analysis, poisson modeling, monte carlo simulations, and change-point detection on 3 months of person detection and camera events to find the optimal 15-minute window where nobody would catch me.
THIS IS PEAK

Today, we're introducing Spectre I, the first smart device to stop unwanted audio recordings.
We live in a world of always-on listening devices.
Smart devices and AI dominate our world in business and private conversations.
With Deveillance, you will @be_inaudible.

@learnwithnoel @adocomplete On hold:

On release:

@adocomplete To build on that, I now need to think about how to use the Elgato foot panel appropriately with Claude Code haha

Facilities just sent me an email asking why the server room temperature is set to 62°F.
They said it's "excessive" and they want to raise it to 68°F to save on cooling costs.
I replied with a six-paragraph email explaining "thermal load balancing," "equipment MTBF degradation," and "catastrophic failure risk."
I cited a "study" that showed every degree above 65°F reduces server lifespan by 15%.
There is no study. I made that up.
But I CC'd the CFO and said if Facilities wants to take ownership of a potential $200K hardware replacement due to overheating, they're welcome to adjust the temperature.
Facilities backed off immediately.
Here's the truth: the servers would be fine at 70°F. Data centers run hotter than that all the time.
But I like the server room at 62°F. It's the only place in the building where I can go to cool off and get some peace and quiet.
Plus, now I have an email chain proving that I "advocated for infrastructure longevity" while others wanted to "cut corners."
Technical decisions are rarely about what's right. They're about who's willing to use more jargon.

Oh, you're writing CUDA kernels? Everyone's on Triton now. Just kidding, we're all on Mojo. We're using cuTile. We're using ROCm. We have an in-house DSL compiler targeting the NVGPU MLIR dialect but wait, Tile IR just dropped so we're going to target that instead. Our PM is on TileLang. The team lead was on CuTe but now she's back to handwriting PTX. If you're not on Pallas, you're ngmi. Our intern is building on TT-Metalium for our Wormholes. Our CFO approved an order for some big chungus wafer-scale chips so now we're porting our kernels to CSL. Our CTO is working on a kernel-less graph compiler so we won't need to write kernels anymore. Our CEO thinks we're talking about the Linux kernel. We're building Claude for dogs.

@funnyhippo420 @SecurityTrybe Elaborate! Nix has been nothing but incredible for me and companies I worked for several years. Just devShells and streamLayeredImage alone, nothing comes close.
NixOS obviously is a separate question, but it became my goto for linux on servers or desktop.

@0x77dev @SecurityTrybe You're not actually supposed to use Nix
Communism os, works only in theory
