foax··on Kimi K3: Open Frontier Intelligence
I've used K2.6 and K2.7 for binary reversing with a Ghidra skill. Very competent at mapping out flows and patterns, working in tandem with me too implement what I wanted to implement. I couldn't persuade GPT 5.6 to do this either. Was very impressed by Kimi, though it was on the slow side.
foax··on Valve open-source the Steam Machine e-ink screen so you can make your own
This is so cool! Coincidentally, I'm currently building something in a similar vein that pushes system metrics out to an Android app so an old phone or tablet can be used as a case screen. The app has widget plugins that expose a repo of metrics received and a GL surface, that can then be used to display fancy visualisations.

Check it out here: https://github.com/xfoa/humours. It's not finished yet, but the basic functionality works. It just has one widget at the moment that draws a spinning cube with temps, etc.

foax··on Un-0: Generating Images with Coupled Oscillators
This kind of reminds me of DCT in lossy image compression, but in reverse.
foax··on Show HN: Spud – cross-platform remote control, optimised for gaming
Good ideas, thanks! For latency measurement I'd love to do a proper measurement with an OSLTT but I don't have one. Could probably get a decent result for comparison just in software with some synchronisation though.

Currently working on gamepads and other peripherals. It's a tricky problem, but it will probably be in the next release!

foax··on Show HN: chop.ax – strip sites down to just their content
Aye I think it's struggling on the VPS I've got it running on. Was working much better on my laptop, so might bump it up to a dedi.

I often use a screen reader to help with dyslexia, and I think many screen readers will do this already. Though, the mess that index pages become with this tool might actually make it more difficult for them! I'll keep working on the strip logic, but it's quite a manual process at the moment.
