The previous implementation was very very hacky and used a bookmarklet alongside uglified messenger classes from 2 years ago to monitor a chat, it was also only for image messages. The new release is a browser extension for chrome & firefox that you run on an alt facebook account on messenger that can monitor for new chat & image messages + video monitoring if in a call. You can create a group chat and use a special method (instructions in the readme) to force the Glasses to be aware of…

  • Glasses to detect smart-glasses that have camerasNov 2025 · github.com · ▲509

    Hi! Recently smart-glasses with cameras like the Meta Ray-bans seem to be getting more popular. As does some people's desire to remove&#x2F;cover up the recording indicator LED. I wanted to see if there's a way to detect when people are recording with these types of glasses, so a little bit ago I started working this project. I've hit a little bit of a wall though so I'm very much open to ideas! I've written a bunch more on the link (+photos are there), but essentially this uses 2 fingerprinting approaches: - retro-reflectivity of the camera sensor by looking at IR reflections. mixed results…

  • Hi everyone, I built PyXL — a hardware processor that executes a custom assembly generated from Python programs, without using a traditional interpreter or virtual machine. It compiles Python -> CPython Bytecode -> Instruction set designed for direct hardware execution. I’m sharing an early benchmark: a GPIO test where PyXL achieves a 480ns round-trip toggle — compared to 14-25 micro seconds on a MicroPython Pyboard - even though PyXL runs at a lower clock (100MHz vs. 168MHz). The design is stack-based, fully pipelined, and preserves Python's dynamic typing without static type restrictions.…
