I’ve been a fan of Brilliant Labs for a good while. And have had a preproduction pair of the Halo glasses for a good bit. Their approach is fresh, unique, and frankly, needed

Made a tweak to go with scribbles instead of dictation/typed on the notepad, and yea, it’s better…

…do I lose the “ease” of LLM analysis? Yep. But that wasn’t the point of this.

…do I gain a more sticky memory of some client interactions? Yep

Reminds of how I used to tell faith leaders how “compensated preaching” could work… back when “gamification” was becoming a mainstream speaking point

Depends on what region you are in… and then, even in regions, folks cook things so, so different.

In my family, we dropped the turkey and sides a long time ago. Been thru a “let’s do a bushel of crabs and sides” moments, and lately have been in a “let’s just share meals and hop to different houses” moment.

As for why the gov likes sharing the costs… there’s likely a link between costs and consumer sentiment. Folks spend for food & family when things get tight, so the costs of a bigger meal might reflect towards other bits. Just guessing though… I’ve not looked into the data for a long while

Trying something different alongside my #nostr use where I’ve made a personal ID portal and there’s a (concept?) of doing DMs/Lightning enabled messaging.

Don’t know if it will work, or catch on. But am feeling like pushing a bit more into a shape of web use and authentication that has some principles I’ve gleaned here and with the web3 community

2025-08-01T00:09:54Z

Earlier today, during a meeting with a technical platform, the conversation was broached by one of the attendees asking me about my glasses.

Made for a neat conversation to talk about the Brilliant Labs Frame glasses. Especially since right after that meeting I would be sitting in the Reddit AMA where Brilliant Labs was talking about the brand new Halo glasses they announced earlier today

https://brilliant.xyz/

I really like what they are doing overall. That doesn’t mean I am such the developer that I’m able to build exactly for these glasses. The way that I would like. Part of me has an analogy to Replit in my head where i should be able to describe functionality and then use that scaffolding and BL’s SDK and docs to make the integrations I desire.

We aren’t there yet. I’m not there yet. But seems even in this learning, am giving folks a sense of what it might look like to author a bit more of their connected experiences.

Thoughts while playing/continuing with an idea for my Brilliant Labs Frame 👓

So, am back to playing with an idea for a potential “app” for Frame 👓 . And having gotten some neat “discussion” thru my idea with ChatGPT, am getting ready for the fun part, actually attempting the build. Realized a few things which sit more in the “I wish” category more than anything else…

I can “chat” with an instance of an LLM thru my glasses, but I cannot append the programming to/of the glasses thru such a chat. There’s no current “switch to developer mode” kind of interface within the Noa chats if you will. And even if I could, such a mode would need certain safe guards before and even after making changes to the glasses (ability to roll-back. preview/show-me-as-if-state in the chat or thru the HUD, etc).

That goes a bit further (as if something like Replit were a part of nearly any chat-based LLM interface I guess). So I step back some…

…there’s not a means (yet?) in Noa to add/edit scripts in the app itself. I imagine something under “Hack” where one gets an ability to add new scripts, with a means to test them there before “pushing to prod” in the glasses. Where there’s maybe a “do you wish your hacks to be backed up to your Git/GitHub as you iterate” type of function. And then maybe a “share to Brilliant Labks repo for inclusion into community scripts” type of function.

I thought of a simpler “add script to Frame” before all of this. Now, I’m down the path of rethinking whether apps/scripts matter if a platform is this malleable. Just my mind stretching the evening some.
