The inspiration was this post by @RG_Leachman on X: https://x.com/RG_Leachman/status/2035537289812816128

They vibe-coded a piano app for their daughter, and since my daughter is also learning piano I figured I'd give it a shot. The whole thing came together in minutes with Claude Code. My daughter immediately started giving feedback — she's basically the product manager now.

My daughter is learning piano, and I saw someone on X who vibe-coded a similar app for their kid. So I plugged a USB cable into our 10-year-old Casio AP-450, fired up Claude Code, and had a working falling-note game in minutes.

My daughter immediately became the product manager — she requested a beat toggle, caught that long notes disappeared too fast on keypress, and spotted visual overlaps I completely missed.

Deliberately vanilla JS/HTML/CSS — no frameworks, no build step. Setup is: USB cable + Chrome + open index.html.

Notable omission: 2025 is also when the ghosts started haunting the training data. Half of X replies are now LLMs responding to LLMs. The call is coming from inside the dataset.

First time I see such a simple but attractive puzzle. I had to try to reproduce it using my Codorex tool, it's semi-functional needs a few more iterations:

Congrats on the traction!

New comment by victorbuilds in "A wireless subdural-contained brain–computer interface with 65,536 electrodes"

victorbuilds — Mon, 08 Dec 2025 15:27:47 +0000

The device (BISC) is a single CMOS chip, thinned down to 50 μm, that slides into the subdural space (between skull and brain).

The specs are pretty wild:

Form Factor: It rests on the brain "like a piece of wet tissue paper."

Resolution: 65,536 electrodes with 1,024 simultaneous recording channels.

Bandwidth: 100 Mbps wireless link (custom ultra-wideband radio).

Power: Fully wireless via an external relay station.

The differentiator here seems to be the non-penetrating approach. Unlike Utah arrays or Neuralink threads that penetrate the cortex, this sits on top, which theoretically minimizes tissue scarring/reaction while maintaining high data throughput (100x current wireless BCIs).

Paper: Stable, chronic in-vivo recordings from a fully wireless subdural-contained 65,536-electrode brain-computer interface device
