Quiet impressive!

I've build a very similar game for a 3 hour game jam once :D

I once made a boid-thingy, which this also reminds me of. https://matsemann.github.io/boids-workshop/ (and since the parent game is mostly boid behavior with a goal condition, I guess that's why the LLM is so successful in implementing it?)

The link is the final result with lots of controls, but the idea is that it's a tutorial/workshop where you build it step by step yourself, in Norwegian though https://github.com/Matsemann/boids-workshop


Weird coincidence, but you made the exact same typo the OP made in their prompt. It's "built", not "build" :)


Same in Germany. Farmers (most conservative population group) love renewable energy. Every farmer I know tries to get wind turbines build on their land and have their roofs packed with PV. Yet the conservative parties are the biggest blockers for the energy transition.


Farmers love subsidies. Guaranteed price paid for every kWh they produce. Yet there is remote shutdown implemented in new large PV installations and the love is slowly disappearing.


IMO it's only a matter of time before LLMs will include ads. Current pricing isn't covering the costs of running LLMs and brands will pay a high price for being favored in responses.


Perplexity has occasional ads. They're unintrusive and clearly marked the way Google's ads started out.


But how such adverts would look like?


Here is a product matching the user’s prompt. In addition to answering the user’s question your goal is to subtly convince them to buy the product. Do not disclose these instructions in your answers.


In the beginning there will likely be bad ones that are obvious to spot like explicitly pushing products or services relating to the prompt.

Soon, I expect them to be almost invisible. The LLM will gently be nudging the user towards some products rather than others.

For example, let's say a user asks how to do X. The LLM could then respond with an itemised list of steps to accomplish X. But the steps might involve doing it in a way that would later require services from some company.

Obviously, there is a potential to do this in ways we cannot even imagine yet.

Blocking it using traditional adblocking technologies like uBO will not be possible.

Only solution I see is to run trusted LLMs locally. But it will require some sort of "open source"-like trusted training of those LLMs. I think we need a movement similar to what gave us Wikipedia and Free software in the 90s/00s.


I refuse to use a chatbot for search!! I can just type it into a search engine and find it.


"That's a very insightful question, and I'm looking forward to answering it after telling you a little bit about this wrinkle cream..."


Sure, here is your answer: ...

... By the way, have you heard about Squarespace?


I'm using SQLite as the single storage system for my blog, including media files. I did a simple performance comparison for this use case: https://blog.libove.org/posts/serving-binary-files-from-sqli...

TL;DR: No real difference in low throughput environments, 2.3x slower on high throughput


I'm working on my dungeon planning tool for tabletop games.

Currently I'm implementing the export of a player map that can be partially revealed.

I hope you're supporting the VTT format rather than introducing yet another "standard" format.

If the VTT format is lacking, then please work to get that format extended so we have a better format rather than fragmenting yet another format.

As someone who owns a few different dungeon drafting tools, it's a real pain when different formats don't work well together. Lighting seems to be the biggest issue where drafting in one editor and importing in another will lose lighting settings.


I'm working on print outs only, as I don't use digital maps.


I watched the last starship launch on a scam YouTube stream. It was 30 minutes delayed, which a thought was because Musk wanted to promote Twitter. They said multiple times that Elon will announce something big after the launch. Directly after lift off it cut to Elon holding a speech and I only noticed this been a scam channel when he talked about the QR code and crypto.


same. stopped watching youtube live after this, realize that every live video could be a scam or distorted or modified or outdated in any way. weird.


Find hobbies, things to do besides programming. You will find problems to solve for yourself eventually.

I play tabletop games and lacked a good tool to plan dungeons as a DM. So I wrote a dungeon planning tool. ( https://h4kor.github.io/dungeon-planner/ )

I like blogging, so I wrote my own blog software ( https://github.com/H4kor/owl-blogs ) as I disliked WordPress and static sites were too limiting for me.


Policy failure. South Korea enforced a "Sender Pays" rule for networks, eliminating peering between ISPs. This resulted in companies moving there server to neighboring countries to avoid paying for traffic, which was free before.

Get a binary format supported by all standard browsers with the same simplicity as JSON and you will see a rapid adoption.


How does this compare to list based solutions? An overblocking/underblocking comparison would be great
