I vibe reverse engineered my Bluetooth mouse to support it on macOS
I bought a Razer Basilisk V3 X HyperSpeed to use as a Bluetooth mouse for my mac without realizing Razer doesn't offer software support for it. So instead of returning it, I used coding agents (mostly codex) to reverse engineer the BLE spec and then build an app around it! Along the way I added support for a few other Razer mice. I have essentially no reverse engineering experience, so I likely would not have attempted this project without a coding agent to help. The general process was: Capture BLE packets with btvs on windows, perform an action on the mouse with synapse open, then send the…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
I bought a Razer Basilisk V3 X HyperSpeed to use as a Bluetooth mouse for my mac without realizing Razer doesn't offer software support for it.

I have essentially no reverse engineering experience, so I likely would not have attempted this project without a coding agent to help. The general process was: Capture BLE packets with btvs on windows, perform an action on the mouse with synapse open, then send the capture to codex to figure out what happened and update the spec. I repeated this for every mouse button and binding until I had the full picture. There are some docs in the docs folder that detail the process and results if you are interested!

I've built a thing! A few months back someone (not me) posted my Mac app Droplings to HN. It was incredibly rough around the edges back then, and in alpha. Well, it's finished now and sparkles like crazy. Please take a look! :)

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…
