I think the moon gravity is a bit much. It would be cool to use the gravity of the moon in your attack, but I think that would require it moving slower and perhaps some prediction logic where you can see where the moon will be if you fire now?

I've built an iOS game (https://eveofimpact.com) years ago (an earth vs asteroids kind of thing) and I ran into similar problems where gravity was too strong, and trying to use gravity to your advantage was very tricky and unpredictable making it less fun. I eventually decided to just make it play a more "decorative" role.

edit: Forgot to say awesome job :)

Got it as well a couple years ago, it was no joke. :/

Luckily we could get vaccinated a year later. If you’ve had it and catch another variant mortality rate jumps to 10%. But usually those variants don’t overlap, it’s region based.

“That number matters more than it looks.”, then the next paragraph starts with “Here is the uncomfortable part”, and then I closed the tab.

Maybe possible with https://lyra.horse/x86css/ ?

I’m still working on filepond v5. A JavaScript file upload library that supports client side image manipulation, chunked uploading, various file sources, and is procedurally animated.

Imagine if all that money was donated to open source instead.

It probably has to do with other styles assigned to the textarea, maybe the ::placeholder as it hides when typing (I assume on focus)

In any case. In the screenshot the scrollbar is inside the textarea as it aligns with the resize control on its right. This is basically all the info needed to deduce the textarea overflow is the culprit.

But could be that the overflow-x is just a bandaid hiding the issue causing the overflow in the first place, like crazy styles on the placeholder.

I looked at the screenshot and for the rest of the article wondered if it would be as simple as `overflow-x: hidden`.

And to my surprise it was.

This would’ve take a frontend dev 10 seconds to deduce and another 10 seconds to confirm.

A similar dilemma presents itself when blocking AI spiders.

You’re free to block them, but the websites cloning your content won’t. So either way they’ll get the content they’re after.

Worse, when/if the time comes that LLMs source their claims they’ll refer you to the websites that cloned your content.

+1 from me. I always find it very challenging to speak to strangers, but not at the Boulder gym. There's just so many opportunities to start a natural conversation:

- new climbers asks you for advise

- you can ask a new climber if they'd like some technique tips

- you finally top your project and someone commends you for it

- someone tops your project and you ask them for advise

- you're trying to top a boulder on a new set and are solving it with others

- you're _constantly_ in the gym so staff starts talking to you

Nice, enjoyable.

I did however expect the stars to attract my ship, that combined with the top down gravity vector made it less intuitive.

It also makes it feel like a game happening in earths atmosphere instead of space, it impacts the possible sense of scale.

Still fun :)

I asked the Gumroad support AI for a human.

It forwarded my request which was then answered by an open claw agent :/

Still waiting for a response two weeks later.

It seemed to be a common AI style, so I was suspicious. Zoomed in on the laundromat window sign and it says “vioice”, so yea.

Looking at it again now, things like the electrical wires not being aligned, or going nowhere are always obvious tells. The outlines on the A in “laundromat” are okay but for some reason the vertical line on the R isn’t open.

It’s impressive that this can be generated with AI. I just wish it would come with a “generated with llm-name” label.

When I noticed the article header image was generated with AI my interest in reading the article itself dropped to zero.

This.

We need a way to flag AI generated articles.

Looks like the article was 80% AI generated as well.

Alright, if I understand correctly, what you're saying is they make this distinction because they operate in the "text and code" space but not in the media space.

I've written _a lot_ of open source MIT licensed code, and I'm on the fence about that being part of the training data. I've published it as much for other people to use for learning purposes as I did for fun.

I also build and sell closed source commercial JavaScript packages, and more than likely those have ended up in the training data as well. Obviously without consent. So this is why I feel strong about making this separation between code and media, from my perspective it all has the same problem.

Right, that's what I'm thinking too (I'll update my statement a bit to make that more clear), but I constantly hear this perspective that it's all good for text and code but when it's media, then it's suddenly problematic. It's equally problematic for text and code.

> No AI-generated media is allowed (art, images, videos, audio, etc.). Text and code are the only acceptable AI-generated content, per the other rules in this policy.

I find this distinction between media and text/code so interesting. To me it sounds like they think "text and code" are free from the controversy surrounding AI-generated media.

But judging from how AI companies grabbed all the art, images, videos, and audio they could get their hands on to train their LLMs it's naive to think that they didn't do the same with text and code.

I don’t think the scraping party cares about the license, if the JavaScript code is linked online they’ll just take it. Source: see the art industry

So nice, it’s just unfortunate that even fun experiences like this first show you a cookie popup.

Recently a customer pasted a complete ChatGPT chat in the support system and then wrote “it doesn’t work” as subject. I kindly declined.

I’ve also received tickets where the code snippets contained API calls that I never added to the API. A real “am I crazy” situation where I started to doubt I added it and had to double check.

On top of that you get “may I get a refund” emails but expanded to four paragraphs by our friend Chat. It’s getting kinda ridiculous.

Overall it’s been a huge additional time drain.

I think it may be time to update the “what’s included in support” section of my softwares license agreement.

This post ticks all the AI boxes.

Working on FilePond v5.

Entering year three of a complete rewrite. It’s kind of ridiculous but as I’m still enjoying the process of trying to built/craft a performant and flexible file upload web component I just keep going.

V4 is live on https://filepond.com, plan to release v5 before the end of summer.

I tried to read this on mobile but the blinking cursor makes it impossible.

This.

They do this with Threads as well. If you’re not on there long enough, they’ll pretend there are notifications waiting for you, but it’s just “Posts that might be of interest to you”. They’ll even show this fake data on Instagram to get you to open Threads.

Hey! Thanks for mentioning Pintura :) And good luck with the project!

The Portuguese town of Nazaré can deliver 100-foot (30.4 meters) waves.

Completely random, but Christophe gets his hair cut in my sister’s tiny hair salon.

It's so good. Tauri package size is 9MB vs 250MB+ for the Electron one.
