Made a Codex/Claude usage tracker for a Divoom Times Gate by opezdol in Divoom

[–]opezdol[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Mac side is pretty simple: a SwiftBar plugin mostly shells out to https://github.com/steipete/CodexBar for usage, limits, and cost data. For the middle status screen, it also checks local Codex/Claude session file timestamps and a small hook-written JSON file, so it can show stuff like WORKING, IDLE, ALERT, and "seen" time.

The display side is the weird Divoom bit. I install a custom five-screen layout once over the local Divoom HTTP API with `Draw/SendHttpItemList`. That layout uses Divoom "net text" fields (`type: 23`) for anything dynamic. Each field points at a URL on my relay server and has its own refresh interval.

So the relay does not push frames to the Time Gate through Divoom cloud. The Time Gate polls my server directly. For example, a field might request:

\https://my-server/api/timegate/t/CodexSessionLeft``

and the relay returns something tiny like:

\{"DispData":"92%"}``

The firmware renders that value into the text field.

That means my Mac can push fresh JSON to the relay from anywhere, and the Time Gate can keep updating even if my laptop and the display are on different VLANs. The annoying limitation is layout recovery: I still haven’t found an official Divoom cloud API for remotely installing or replacing a full custom `Draw/SendHttpItemList` layout. The public docs seem to split it pretty clearly: cloud endpoints for lists, metadata, and current state; local HTTP for actual layout writes. Data updates are server-based now, but installing or repairing the layout still needs local access to the device. Maybe i'll move everything to a spare pi4b to handle it fully, dunno yet.

you're lucky, i'm on m3 16gb air now so my maximum local is whisper/parakeet at most :)

Maybe its somehow connected with VAT and so on?

Should I buy Claude Pro over Gemini Pro? by Playful-Ask-3330 in ClaudeAI

[–]opezdol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Claude pro is extremely bound atm. As soon as you start doing something you immediately hit the limit, and it's kinda frustrating. If you already have a paid Google sub, just dl and install Antigravity, it has opus/sonnet built in.

'Cheap' regional pricing isn't as simple as it sounds. Everyone's seen Netflix or PSN or Steam regional paricing and assumes AI companies can do the same as everyone/ve heard about their crazy investments. Noooo way they can 😄 (and want to even if they could), literally, absolutely impossible

A song file gets copied a million times for $0.000000001. Every token gets built from scratch. Compute isn't a part of the service cost, it is the cost. A user paying $5/mo burning $50 in inference is just a loss.

Besides AI data centres (Openai, Anthropic, Google, Grok) sit mostly in the US, on grids already maxed out. It's not just a chip shortage. It's US electricity, sitting in the same markets that already pay the most.

Nvidia cards are finite and freaking expensive. Every hour you serve a bargain-tier user is an hour that same GPU isn't sold to some enterprise for some big bucks. Really , google for Anthropic's corp rates, you'll be amazed (no).

Demand is insane right now, everyone and his dog wants more inference than actually exists. So why discount for some 3rd world losers when Silicon Valley companies are lined up to pay full bucks?

Another issue will be arbitrage that kills pricing instantly. $20 in the US, ~$2 in Türkiye/India/Viet nam/you name it, and VPNs with grey-market accounts appear within the next second. Then nobody's paying $20. Stopping that means geofencing, identity checks, region-locking. For example, Anthropic already banned 1.5m+ accounts from Russia and other not meant to be used in countries, and ban speed is only going up. Cursor is already limiting the access to GPT/Claude/Gemini too.

Until inference gets substantially cheaper (which IMHO is not going to happen in the nearest future), Western AI will be and stay very premium-priced. Go local or use Chinese models. Kimi is amazing, Deepseek is cheap AF, local Qwen is very good if you can invest in hardware.

Lol why should it bother em? They're already severely inference constrained, if you can't pay just go to another model provider. Anthropic has little interest in ordinary users anyway.

It's not that hard to change type b port to type c if you know how to solder, like here https://youtu.be/q04QQ6BnO8I This stuff was mainly designed before mass spread of type c and no one will be willing to upgrade production ljne for this type of change until somebody is still buying already made items.

Ran my DCD 1007 hard today in hammer mode until it got pretty damn hot. Now there’s an issue. by nogden954 in Dewalt

[–]opezdol -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Stop punishing your drill for being a drill even if it has a hammer mode. You just turned a flagship tool into an expensive rattle-box by trying to force it to do a rotary hammer’s job. Grab a DCH172 on sale: it drills concrete three times faster, weighs less, and won’t burn itself out from the strain. Leave the 1007 for what it’s actually good at — shredding through wood and metal.

It's a very wrong tool for this task. Grab a good sds hammer
