Really curious exactly how you learn things like chess with flash cards. French makes sense as I would guess you just have a word or phrase in both languages.

What do you do for topics like chess?

Ha! Got a good laugh.

Two suggestions:

- Let me enter the time with my keyboard - Make your input numpad match a PC keyboard's numpad, not a phone's

A week ago I got a receipt printer on eBay to play around with.

I launched Claude code and had it connect and print something, cool! Then I decided to hook it up to the internet so anyone could send me a message. Someone asked for a camera pointed at it, so I did. Of course that was a bad idea… So I hooked up Claude and made it reject naughty content.

It’s been a week and I’ve added tons of features: a mod panel to play with the queue settings, turn the cutter on and off, ban people, etc.

We even have my laptop playing AI voice reactions to the content that gets printed. The livestream has been going for like 4 days straight now. I added some basic monitoring, develop features that the audience wants, refill the roll.

I’ve made a tiny tiny amount of money from this. Yes I feel bad about “wasting paper” but also it gives people joy.

I’ve lost control of my life, I’ve become printer man.

I had a vision for a fun project, made decisions, tried to understand why to make certain decisions or what was working or not.

I didn't write the front page index.html and I don't want to. Sure, I prompted it how I wanted to look, though.

tl;dr I had fun and learned stuff.

I opened Obsidian, wrote down the steps that I performed + pieces claude did. Most of what I did was little troubleshooting bits or hooking things together.

That + every little quirk or weird thing I ran into (eg: phantom process killer, which I actually did setup via adb) that I felt was worth mentioning and might help.

Then I told Claude to organize the document better, read it over myself, asked for edits or things to add, etc.
