As I cycle thru the wealthier zipcode on my morning ride, the most amiable creatures I encounter now are the large plastic skeletons set out for Halloween which strike jaunty poses and call out glad tidings of memento mori.
The grimmest beings are the ruckers, wearing their weighted camo chestpacks which no doubt also pack heat, pounding out their scowling workouts praying to a pretend god to feel capable, strong, safe, and powerful. They are pitiful. I pity them.
Greetings Programs!!
We're back at it tonight working on @pidgin 3.0 Alpha 4 which is due out NEXT WEEK!!! Come on by as we try to get it ready in time!!
just played: brenton wood - "gimme little sign" (1967).
wood wrote it under his real name, alfred smith, with joe hooven and jerry winn. out on double shot. it peaked at #9 on the hot 100 and only reached #19 on the r&b chart.
shawn colvin took it on for her 2015 album uncovered. the plain, sunny pop of the original still carries it.

Celestial Forest
New Music today!
A forest at nighttime; slivers of moonlight stream through the canopy above and reflections of stars glimmer in the brook that runs alongside a worn path. Crumbling statues, covered by moss and succumbing to the passage of time, can be found throughout this forest; vestiges of a world long past.
Found some FX I liked on the guitar VST and wrote this simple, sort of experimental piece to work through some creative block, hoping it will help to untangle some of that blocked energy. Experimental for me in the sense that I don't use guitar very often, admittedly because writing for it feels a bit foreign to me, even after studying guitar scores... Music really is such a life-long learning process. :)

“Our nativism made for us a trap,” Remiel said, gratefully pulling the farmer's coarse, heavy wool coat over her shivering frame. “Then we panicked. Professor Cassiel was right. We'll never live it down, not in a thousand years.” Mr. Kaneko remained deeply unsettled by the fact that rural schoolchildren were being taught the intimate, tragic details of his life. “Even if you did get through the fence, where will you go?” Remiel shook her head, but said nothing in reply. She had the glimmer of an answer now, though it was no earthly answer. She bowed to Mr. Kaneko once more, honoring the quiet heroism of a man who had been incarcerated by his own country and was still willing to help a stranger at considerable risk to himself. “I will never forget your kindness,” she told him. “And I will never forget what necessitated the kindness,” Kaneko replied heavily. He turned away to tend his frostbitten strawberries.
Good evening from Gaza, where sorrow weighs heavily on our hearts and survival is a daily struggle. Despite all I've lost, I'm still trying to hold on for my children. Can you give me and my children a glimmer of hope this evening? A small donation or sharing my post could help us get food and basic necessities. Please don't forget us; we need you. @kathimmel @Heidentweet @limb @calebwill @Nerdfest @sagilca @Pine_Affinity @mbletmathe https://chuffed.org/project/help-hadeel-look-after-family-in-gaza

🎥 Video
===================
HyperFrames: writing video as code, rendered through Claude
A new tutorial from the Israeli AI blog LetsAI walks through a workflow where video production starts as a conversation with Claude instead of a timeline editor. The clip covered there was built entirely with Claude: the model computes each frame as code, and a render engine captures the frames in sequence to produce a finished MP4. The tutorial's framing borrows from Eadweard Muybridge's 1878 horse motion studies: motion is a sequence of still frames, and whoever controls each frame controls the motion.
What HyperFrames is
HyperFrames is a free, open-source project by HeyGen. It represents videos as HTML compositions and renders them to video files. It ships in two parts:
• A command-line tool, invoked as npx hyperframes, which downloads automatically on first run.
• A set of Skills for Claude Code, installed with npx skills add heygen-com/hyperframes. Skills are instruction files Claude reads on demand; the HyperFrames ones teach it how to structure a valid composition, how to schedule animations on the timeline, and how to test and render the result.
Two content types, two workflows
The tutorial separates two use cases:
1. Animation from scratch: ads, teasers, and explainer videos, built entirely as code.
2. Editing footage filmed by the user: trimming silences, Hebrew subtitles, zoom effects, and converting landscape footage to vertical format for social.
In both cases the output is an MP4, and the work happens in natural language with approvals at each step.
Two ways to run it
• Connector mode: HyperFrames plugs into Claude as a connector, with nothing to install. Lower ceiling on control, faster entry point.
• Claude Code mode: runs locally on your machine with the Skills installed. The tutorial claims benefits here in precise Hebrew text rendering, working with your own footage files, and local rendering rather than anything cloud-side.
Why it matters
For teams producing short social video, the interesting part is not the gimmick but reproducibility: a video defined in HTML is versionable and diffable, and revisions become prompt-driven edits to specific scenes, in a way a traditional editor project is not. Localization also runs through the same pipeline, since subtitle generation and text rendering are part of the composition. The tutorial specifically highlights accurate Hebrew rendering as a differentiator in the local setup, which is relevant wherever RTL text is a recurring pain point in automated video tools.
Caveats
This is a write-up of someone else's workflow, not a tested one. The source is an AI training and consulting blog, so the tone is partly promotional; rendering quality, Hebrew font handling, and render times deserve personal verification before committing a real project to this. HeyGen's own prompting documentation is available for review.

The Big Count
Since jumping on the Wegovy train and dieting, I have tried a variety of calorie counting apps. There are an awful lot of them out there. What you want, in the UK, is an app with a database of UK foods. You also want a fairly frictionless experience, because the more friction you introduce, the less likely you are to keep up with the record.
Why record at all? Well, bluntly, to keep track of what you eat, and to be honest with yourself about the kind of things you eat. Are you stuffing too many carbs, not enough fibre, not enough fresh veg? That kind of thing.
These apps usually have four slots to record things: breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. And, if you are me, it is the snacks category that will be the one to reckon with. They all tend to have a set-up process, when you record your height, weight, and goals, and tell the app how active you are. After you’ve done all that, you can get going.
There are five I’ve taken a look at, and two of them can be dismissed quite quickly.
The Boots Online Doctor Tracker was the first I looked at, since I was using the Boots service to order my Wegovy. But the app doesn’t really do much, and it makes a lot of noise doing it.
Moving on, we have the free NHS app, Weight Loss, which also doesn’t do much. It has a database, but some of the choices you get offered when you search are odd. For example, search for Honey Nut Shredded Wheat as a breakfast item, and you get a number of hits, but you can’t go in and edit. It suggests 45g as the portion size, which fine. But what if you have 60g? Or 50? You can’t make that change. If you tap on the portion size, it offers you “2 pieces” as an option, which I guess is the full sized version. But then for “minis” you just get the slightly vague “small”, “medium”, and “large”. Furthermore, the app doesn’t remember your stuff, so you have to perform the same search every time.
The most popular app in the UK is MyFitnessPal, which has a free tier and a Premium tier. You get a lot of nagging to go Premium, which is annoying. It’s also infested with ads, also annoying. Without going Premium, you can do basic recording, but you can’t do things like scan package bar codes, which is actually quite a useful feature for lowering friction. Premium costs £65 for a year, or a frankly astonishing £16 per month. I guess they really want you to sign up for a year and then forget about it so that it automatically renews. What I tend to do with these things is pay and then immediately cancel, at which point you’re told your subscruption will continue until the renewal date.
Anyway, Premium is probably better than Free, and allows you to scan barcodes, use your voice to record, and even take photos of food for the app to estimate calories etc. More on this idea with the next app.
But I wouldn’t pay for MFP, because I think it’s too fiddly. Adding your own foods is a challenge, and the Quick Add feature is so basic as to be useless. You can’t name the food, just record the calories, and all other nutrients are a Premium feature. The other problem is that I think the database is full of cruft. Search for Honey Nut Shredded Wheat for example, and you get a massive list of every single permutation that has ever been entered by MFP users. O the humanity:
As you can see for that list, there are lots of variations on the “40g” serving, all with different calorie counts. I guess barcode scanning would take you in and allow you to record your own portion, but I also guess that that option would get added to the long list created by others.
Anyway, it’s all a bit of a faff, too much friction, too much cruft. And expensive!
So I moved on to MyNetDiary, which is also very very fiddly and also offers barcode scanning and food photography. It is thoroughly AI-ified, which is not the attractive feature the vendor thinks it is. I don’t want an AI coach, and I think the gimmick of taking a photo of your meal is silly. I mean, it’s pretty good at identifying things, I’ll give it that. But then it estimates the number of calories etc., and that’s where it falls down. The whole point of recording is to record. Not to guess. I could guess myself, I’m smarter than an AI. But I want the actual number.
It is cheaper, though, and offers more under the Free tier than MFP. For example, I think you can do barcode scanning and voice input as well as custom foods, all for free. It also doesn’t demand you create an account. And the Premium features (many of which are overkill) cost from £3.99 per month. There are too many upgrade options, which is confusing, but there’s an annual plan for £24.
It’s an American app, but does have UK foods in its database, although they might be garbled. For example, Honey Nut Shredded Wheat comes up as Honey Nut Shreddies Wheat, which is muddling it up with a whole different product. Once you’ve found something, though, it is easy to find it again.
But look at the dashboard below and you might see a problem. How, exactly, do you record what you had for breakfast? It’s not immediately obvious. You have to tap the little pie chart, which brings up the meal list. Why not put the meal list on the dashboard? You might well ask.
Mostly what I’m cooking for a main meal is a Slimming World Kitchen recipe, with known values for calories, protein, fibre etc. MND allows you to record your own food – in a more useful way than MFP, but it also refuses to record things unless you enter them just right, which is fiddly.
I think the dashboard is a mess. It will also only record two headline numbers (in the case above, protein and calories), with no option to add, say, fibre. Tapping the pie chart takes you into what should be the dashboard proper.
On the Record screen above, you can see there’s a + and a barcode symbol, but also an AI thing, which is where you take a pic of your dinner. As I said, it’s very good at seeing what’s on the plate. But then it will arbitrarily decide your thin crust pizza is a deep crust, and you can’t do much about that, because making changes is a real challenge. It’s also really hard to delete something you did by mistake.
Finally, we turn to Calorie Counter + by Nutracheck, which also has a confusing array of upgrade options. When I went for Premium, it charged me £6.99 for a month, but there is also a £3.99 option. I don’t know what that gets you. One year is £28. Or £30. Or £35. It’s confusing. Or £45, apparently.
These app vendors need to sort out their upgrade options and simplify. ONE price for a month and ONE price for a year. Nothing else.
Anyway, the app itself is pretty good. Here’s the dashboard:
Don’t judge meIt’s also pretty good at remembering your frequent choices.
Don’t judge me, I saidAnd the Quick Add screen is delightfully unfussy:
You name it, you record cals, protein and fibre (my choices), and it’s done. You can also go into a day and copy something from there into a new day, same meal or different meal. All without too much friction.
Finally, if you’ve got the time, you can record a recipe from scratch and save it in your own custom list—even assign it to a meal occasion. Here are some of my lunches over the summer and autumn.
All in all, this is a much better app than the popular MyFitnessPal, simpler than other options. It’s also more UK-friendly, and entering foods is fairly friction-free. So that would be my recommendation: Calorie Counter + by Nutracheck.
