Released V2.37 of Toolfish with yet another audio feature - it can adjust the volume of just the app in focus. (hotkey to adjust Windows mixing) Makes it easier to watch youtube during the boring parts of games. github.com/SethRobinson/T…

@rtsoft live on a Intel46 Win 3.1 at @TheMADE

@cagan_aydin Visual Studio (I still use it, although I tend to use VSCode (and its derivatives) more these days

Hey @rtsoft Which IDE did you use when writing Growtopia?

a ton of openclaw instances and AI driven startups died this morning. No more free tokens I guess, only surprised anthropic allowed it this long

@xbitbbs @redblobgames Is x-bit.org down? I want to see it! :)

I was shocked 👀 when i found a ton of my old bbs communications from the 90s tucked away! So I made a museum page: x-bit.org/museum/ Some favorites: My Spitfire BBS reg packet. Thank you Mr. Woltz, you are missed x-bit.org/museum/1-Spitf… @redblobgames x-bit.org/museum/srgames… x-bit.org/museum/srgames… x-bit.org/museum/srgames… @rtsoft x-bit.org/museum/lord2.J… x-bit.org/museum/lord.JPG I think its time for a comeback rtsoft and srgames ;)

@geerlingguy Grabbed! $82.50 shipped to Japan

10G USB-C Ethernet adapters are now a thing... just ordered one ($87 shipped to US), probably will run out of first batch quickly: wisdpi.com/products/usb-c…

@TrapTrapTrap14 I really didn't. Had the light on when removing them, so if the blue led turned off, I'd have just soldered that resistor back on and tried another!

@rtsoft How did you know if a resistor was connected to a specific LED?

Tech tip (?): The dog-walking lights I ordered from AliExpress came the wrong color (I ordered blue) and too bright. Check out this easy hack to sort of fix 'em that even a dumbass like me can do:

Got a new printer - it prints on anything, even curved potato chips! So far I've been using it as a $2100 labeler, its camera positioning system makes it dang easy (and addictive) to use. Hrm, what else can I print on... (Credit: some pics are from @Yumcans's game Popslinger)

Fancy rocks are boring. If you're going to propose, may I suggest:

I think it ends tonight but here are my tips anyway: Show up at 5:30 PM and dress warmly. Stand away from the iPad in the center of your lane, use the Hold button from memory, you won't see next pieces. Play on "Hard", it's easy. We didn't try t-spin so not sure if it works.

Photo from last night at Kyoto station. They are letting people play Tetris on the massive stairs, using 15,000 LEDs. Met some friendly players, a pro with the coolest Tetris jacket scored 48K+, she ruled. ( 京都 大階段 )

Despite the lack of legs, my @pollenrobotics reachy robot danced off a table and damaged three motors. Finally sourced replacement motors (was hard in Japan, sold out), so hopefully we'll get this sassy little guy back online. Don't place it near the edge of a table!

@bateskecom Seems reasonable, Sonnet is pretty capable. I don't trust OpenAI models for coding, they just seem to lack common sense for me, even Codex 5.3

@rtsoft Like using big models to do simple things can get it to chase it's own tail as much as a small model will choke on complex tasks. I use chatGPT 5.2 to generate "mega prompts" and generally opus one shots the major implementations, then i switch to sonnet to make edits.

Early work on an AI that can play Pokémon TCG Pocket only by watching the screen. Got to the point where it can reliably 'see' the cards and match them up to its internal card db to generate a super-prompt that produces structured movement advice

@bateskecom I like Cursor (a forked VSCode) with it set to Max->Opus, it's really hard to go back to dumber models. Being an IDE (instead of CLI) has allowed me to find a nice balance of hand-coding + AI. Token anxiety is real and this is spendy. But worth it!

@rtsoft Are you doing this with local models, or which AI do you use for coding? I just signed up for copilot pro+ after hitting the limit for pro and now i have constant anxiety over how many tokens im using.

@bateskecom Like training neural networks to predict/generate the next frame in a video sequence? Sorry, don't know anything about that. What are you making?!

@rtsoft Any interest or knowledge of training tensors to do next frame generation? 😁😅

Been experimenting with OpenClaw (w/Opus) to send me daily Japan news digests. It doesn't get blocked grabbing news and photos because it just switches to a real browser (on its VM) when needed. Today's version: rtsoft.com/temp/daily_dig…

@bateskecom Claw is local (VM on a mac studio) and it uses local AI. (right now it's Qwen3-VL-235B-A22B-Thinking-FP8 running on sglang on four RTX Pro 6000s) but... it flips to Opus 4.6 to do 'difficult' things. Qwen 3.5 won't run well on sglang for me yet :/

@rtsoft Are you running claw locally or in the cloud?

It also scans certain reddit subs and grabs top stories & comments. I allow it to create an image if there isn't one - with the requirement that it clearly labels it as AI generated, as it's hard to tell. Maybe a bad idea though, this image looks pretty real, for example...

Couple of reasons why I find this useful: 1. Has a section where it checks raw Japanese news and includes political bias tags for the source. 2. Kyoto event section includes distance from my house, pricing and one click google map.
