ellg··on Show HN: Panel – A research workspace where the agent can build its own panes
this is very easy (and fun) to do in emacs with gptel as well

you can do a lot of very neat stuff when your llm has full access to a lisp repl that can self modify itself / the ui its running in

ellg··on Show HN: Putt.day a daily mini golf game
I just used threejs
ellg··on Show HN: Putt.day a daily mini golf game
i fucked up the random seed and it generated a bunk level, its fixed now sorry
ellg··on Show HN: Putt.day a daily mini golf game
thanks again for the feedback everyone. I just pushed a few updates around physics and scoring!
ellg··on Show HN: Putt.day a daily mini golf game
ya its still a wip, I appreciate the feedback though and I do want to keep tweaking stuff like this. Feel free to add feedback at the end of level prompts too if you feel like it, I'll be reading all of them
ellg··on Show HN: Putt.day a daily mini golf game
I made this because I wanted something quick to play while pooping
ellg··on Show HN: Putt.day a daily mini golf game
tweaking this currently, thanks for the feedback

ellg··on Show HN: Twitch Roulette – Find live streamers who need views the most
ya but 99% of streamers have their stream up in their dashboard or on a side monitor, so its always going to be sending and transcoding something
ellg··on Show HN: Twitch Roulette – Find live streamers who need views the most
ill check, I honestly didnt even know that was a thing, thanks for letting me know

youre still encoding to like, 4 different formats and pushing bytes to a cdn for 80k+ streams in real time. I think the actual serving of hls chunks is the cheap part
ellg··on Show HN: Twitch Roulette – Find live streamers who need views the most
honestly not sure, but it would explain how they can keep it running
ellg··on Show HN: Twitch Roulette – Find live streamers who need views the most
no comment on the political bits, but the fact that 80% of twitch is streaming to themselves cant be cheap to run

I do wish they would revamp their discoverability process

ellg··on Show HN: Twitch Roulette – Find live streamers who need views the most
also neat! never heard of it, seems like we have a bit different ways about browsing similar data. very cool site
ellg··on Show HN: Twitch Roulette – Find live streamers who need views the most
ya it's why I have the default set to 0-5, theres weirdness in what twitch counts as a viewer

did I do something wrong or something

ellg··on macOS code injection for fun and no profit (2024)
if i wrap a bunch of abstractions in a `make run` command whats the difference
ellg··on macOS code injection for fun and no profit (2024)
what does compilation have to do with iteration speed? There's a lot of ways to get a similar feedback loop that youd get in something like react, like separating out your core gameplay loop into its own compilation unit / dll and reloading it on any changes inside your application
ellg··on Anthropic, please make a new Slack
If people wanted to do this theyd be self hosting xmpp servers already. No one wants to write and maintain the code and infra for things like this, you are grossly underestimating the effort involved here.
ellg··on Building a new Flash
Whats the key difference between this and Rive? Especially now that Rive has full scripting support? Just curious more than anything, this does seem neat, especially the fla / xfl support (although for new things this doesnt seem like a huge killer feature)
ellg··on Uv is the best thing to happen to the Python ecosystem in a decade
What are you needing to use `uv pip` for? I don't think I ever call into pip from uv for anything nowadays. I typically just need to do `uv sync` and `uv run`, maybe sometimes `uvx` if I want to run some random 3rd party python script
ellg··on AI has a cargo cult problem

ellg··on Wireshark 4.6.0 Supports macOS Pktap Metadata (PID, Process Name, etc.)
You're right, and I didnt mean to sound dismissive of the great work that has been put into wireshark. I agree with you on the refactoring comment, and if that's something that can be solved in the current codebase and something I can help contribute towards with donations I would be perfectly fine with this outcome as well.

As it stands though, using the gui bits of the wireshark family of tools is just painful, and slow (as you stated)

ellg··on Wireshark 4.6.0 Supports macOS Pktap Metadata (PID, Process Name, etc.)
Even the dissector stuff feels so.. broken? unmaintained? The lua api is very annoying to use and python support was removed over a decade ago. Have not used the C API so maybe thats just what most people use and its good, but for my usecase I usually just want to quickly sketch out a view for a custom protocol that I can see in the UI.

I would absolutely love for someone to write a good alternative to wireshark.

ellg··on FFmpeg 8.0
what is the point of spamming hn with low quality llm comments.. do you put your hn karma on your resume or something? like what's the end goal
ellg··on Ollama's new app
its ok to let other people have fun programming and code dumb tools. you can decide yourself what you want to or not to work on, doesn't mean you should be so negative towards the idea of people who do want to code these things
ellg··on Ollama's new app
Kinda odd to be so dismissive of this mindset given this websites title. Whipping up your own chatui really is not that hard and is a pretty fun exercise. Knowing how your tools work and being able to tweak them to your specific usecases kinda rules!
