a couple hours ago i had astra take on a 10 month old repo of mine <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;callbacked&#x2F;neural-band-poc&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;callbacked&#x2F;neural-band-poc&#x2F;</a> that involved finding a way to use the meta neural band independently from the glasses to read the sEMG data off of it. i really think it is a cool piece of technology that largely gets overlooked by the glasses, and always thought it was a shame it couldn&#x27;t be used outside of its main application.after making quick work of that, i wanted to use it to control my mac using gesture controls and that&#x27;s how kinesis was born. it has been very cool being able to swipe from desktops using my fingers, swiping up to open up mission control or controlling a virtual knob to adjust my volume.i definitely havent scratched the surface with the neural band but it has been a really fun endeavor thus far! i really hope others can find creative uses for their neural bands too :)note: i really hope this works on other bands because the sample size has just been me so far.

Notes on gotchas while migrating 35kb preprompts from Opus to self-hosted Ollama

In November and December 2025, inspired by Simon Willison’s pelican-riding-a-bicycle benchmark, I had some then-current LLMs create SVGs from thirty similar prompts, such as “Generate an SVG of an octopus operating a pipe organ.” Simon mentioned that experiment on his blog [1].Nine months have passed and much stronger models have been released, so I tried the experiment again today. The linked site shows the results.Running ten of the prompts through six models at OpenRouter cost about twenty dollars, so I stopped there for now.[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;simonwillison.net&#x2F;2025&#x2F;Nov&#x2F;25&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;simonwillison.net&#x2F;2025&#x2F;Nov&#x2F;25&#x2F;</a>
