This? https://98.js.org/ that ones older than vibe coding afaiw

No problem on an i3-1215U running kernel 7.2.9 and Firefox 157.0.1...

Kinda weird so many people are having issues with it

Disable javascript and you'll be redirected to the static version.

Everything that ever had value went the same way: food, art, motorcycles, tourism... you visit somewhere or buy something that looks exciting and 9 times out of 10 it's soulless, industrially produced, mass-targeted and ends up worth less than the money you spent on it.

It's surprising to feel that way about code projects. For most people computers always were soulless machines without anything creative associated with them. Now we're in a strange inversion of history where people who never had any idea what to do with a computer suddenly feel very creative talking to the cloud to ask it to rain down some weird and wonderful thing on them that they feel proud to post about on their social media.

Weird times. Anyway just wanted to say you're not alone.

As someone who knows something in the space he brags about, it is fascinating to see the dunning kruger effect in realtime here. Even with all those claudes in “adversarial review”.

Realtime soft lighting is possible on mobile but if he had known that, i bet claude woulda been able to do it but he didnt.

If there was even the speckle of curiosity, he would have asked beyond “dont make mistakes” but i guess he was too busy riding his bike while burning 50k to make a blog.

Yes, and so is this guy's website. Because who is going to interact with a computer-screen when we can just literally talk (as in: speak) to an AI?

> I've been wondering, who builds tools now if AI are the primary users?

AI already builds tools for itself as part of solving a problem. I expect these to get more sophisticated with time.

> Will AI agents build and publish tools for the greater good? Or will vendors hold back AI generated composable modules as a competitive advantage.

Oh they definitely will - it'll be their last ditch attempt at staying relevant, after they get over denial phase and realize that products are already being subsumed by general AI systems, and reduced to bag of tools agents can use.

But then, for any given bag of tools, how hard will it be for an agent to build a clean-room version of it, instead of paying the vendor? This is the end of software companies as we know them.

> Similarly for languages, I wonder if or when AI generates machine code and skips all our higher order languages we've built for human needs.

That's currently too big a target to hit - the weight of all pretraining, and existing infrastructure, will keep programming languages alive for a while (human languages, that's another topic - there's not as much baggage for agent-to-agent communication).

It will take time. We've only started the co-evolution process very recently: we built agent-optimized wrappers around CLI tools and APIs, and around now that should've percolated into training data for the current or next generation of models. I imagine over time, the tools and agent preferences will co-evolve towards an equilibrium.

it loads as a plain text site in Brave with WebGL disabled - I had to re-open it in Chrome to see the actual fancy thing only after seeing the comments here

It's the view off the Warschauer Bridge in Berlin, nobody actually lives there.

It's from the public domain

I used to live in this area in Berlin and immediately recognized it. It's weird, broken, dirty, rough and somehow exciting. And I'm gonna join the good tradition of people saying that it used to be better in the past because big money(tm) took over and changed things for the worse.

Can we reverse engineer the prompt? Can we reverse engineer the meta prompt? Can we reverse engineer the meta^n prompt?

Im going to port it to Rust

I also lived in Friedrichshain, Berlin during Covid. In fact, at the corner of Warschauer str. & Boxhagener Str. The first thing I noticed was the Mercedes Arena and the (Ost-)Bahnhof.

The remains of the wall, (Mauer) is not much visible from that point, but definitely gives certain hacker-vibes...

Clippy is a great little project he did in electron: https://felixrieseberg.github.io/clippy/

What laptops are yall using? My Samsung phone with Firefox got very slightly warm while I spent a minute there, but that's it.

In retrospective

> In addition, Flash has not performed well on mobile devices

H5 animations performs much worse on all devices.

Flash animations like Felix's can run well on a Pentium III processor with 64MB memory.

Interesting, I find the 'mood' very cozy and welcoming. There's nothing nicer than a warm, dimly lit room with a computer (or in this case VCR) when it's cold and rainy outside :)

It's just themed on a Werner Herzog documentary (which are inherently pretty gloomy). But also, who can say for sure

The stark landscape and accented voiceover seem to be inspired by the documentary Happy People: A Year in the Taiga by Werner Herzog: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psnY17CImaQ

It feels like it's trying to evoke Bioshock vibes or a similar retro-punk dystopia.

Well he did use the penguin that walks off into oblivion

You are the prototype of the jealous HN commenter.

He is a technical manager at Anthropic, so what do you expect?

There is a button ”Enter muted” right below enter

Hmm, here (macOS + Chrome) it starts with 'Sound off', says even so in the bottom right corner.

guide to how it was created: https://felixrieseberg.com/made-by-mechanical-means/

It is a marvelous thing. A beautiful app platform. Suddenly, one day, I was no longer Linux user without app. Linux app was standard. Everybody has Linux app. I had dual-boot Linux computer to play Valorant on Windows and to live normal life on Linux. And I use Mac at work. And it is all glorious because I no longer think about which is which. And there are people who are saying it is not amazing, but it is. I can hit Ctrl-R and the application refreshes. What an astounding tool.

For me the great app platforms:

* the terminal

* the iPhone/Android

* the web

And suddenly, the web is brought to the desktop and it is cross-platform. Everything is here on my Linux. It is the Year of the Linux Desktop and everyone is complaining about web platform. But it is web platform that has brought it here. Praise be the forces that made this happen. This man has a great website, and if he has made Electron then he is always welcome to me.

I can’t find anything better than Electron/Tauri for building cross-platform desktop apps. The browser engine is quite efficient and performant for building complex interfaces

Electron might be a good example of worse is better.

Electron was too good when I first saw it, and gave the "Javascript everywhere" for the desktop apps. Then quickly felt like a bloatware.

To be fair; Node is involved in this too.

Please post generic snarky swipes like this on HN. The guidelines make it clear we're trying for something better here. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

if (when) a better solution arises it will be the dominant solution. long live electron
