I've been working on Vision models for my pet project, a chessboard scanner, for close to two years.
Yesterday I applied everything I learned about computer vision pipelines to Go (the game), starting with 100% synthetic data.
It works!

Go Scanner lacks the dedicated app and infrastructure and is mostly used as a tech demo. The full experience is available with the chessboard scans:

Black magic once again leading the industry
Two years ago, I set out on a mission to build Adobe After Effects MCP, and that finally broke me.
Adobe's code and implementations are utterly unusable, and any 3rd-party MCPs since then are mostly a haphazard mess of workarounds.
I spent all day editing with Davinci MCP in Claude. Wow it’s insane. Testing Astra tomorrow. I probably saved 10 hours today. Mind blowing stuff from someone who’s edited for 15+ years across various software. It’s only going to get better. It did such crazy color grading on raw Alexa footage I was mind blown
Also, that's why the new implementation of GifGun, which I love and cherish, is a browser-based agent-first tool.

Recently, I discovered that Google Analytics MCP can be used to build an SEO/GEO feedback loop. I have a couple of pet projects, one of which is snapthatpiece.com/ – a chess position camera app.
With the loop running bi-weekly, it actually grew the user base from 20 to 150 with no external mentions, or ads. The numbers are small, but I still enjoy checking them from time to time.

The local inference community would greatly benefit from arithmetic 101, let alone a Probability Theory and Statistics appreciation course.
the average OpenCode Go user spent $1.14 per day on deepseek flash v4 this past week
the dual DGX setup people are running to do the same costs $10,000
it takes 24 years to break even
at 10x the usage it takes 2.4 years

Every time I want to feel horrible and stupid, I start replaying puzzles in Lichess Puzzle Dashboard. I know it's my tenth attempt at a puzzle that I clearly analyzed, yet I still fail. lichess.org/training/replay/…

On the bright side, github actions not working for most of the day is a good excuse to leave early and grab a beer

Mike is building an "MCP-light" for Gifgun Online, and that's a truly exciting thing. Any agent can easily use the website that we went to great lengths to work inside your browser. This means that you will get more things done in less time and spend less tokens.
Somehow I think this is the new meta, that’s being build at gifgun.online
Instead of blindly allowing agents to click around web pages, page publishes local bridge and local agents can interact much faster and more reliably, while also spending less tokens.

I swear, Toy Story 5 was written by Chat GPT. The script has zero cohesiveness and the whole piece is a tiktok feed at best.

The story portrays all parents as completely oblivious to their children's activates, essentially, absent. Toys and kids have to navigate this world all on their own, figuring out the balance between tech and play.

Unexpectedly, Gemini 3.5 Flash costs less that Sonnet, and does its job better(or at least not worse) than Opus in most cases.
Don’t sleep on Gemini, people
