I did some research on this about 10 years ago. I spent 2 days hand labelling data from scraped news sites. Then built a good old fashioned Random Forest model to classify html nodes based on some feature engineering. turns out the P tag and the number-of-words threshold get you 90% of the way there, on news sites anyway. Great thing about RF models is they tell you which features are the most important. fun little project (apart from the 2 days of data labelling).

yeah, me too. I usually ask it to do a code review using SOLID standards and it usually does a good job, if not a little overkill sometimes.

considering the amount of money they are making on Minecraft there is almost no forward momentum with the game. the tech is so dated that you have to go to mods to get basic performance improvements. Stuff like shaders and improving the render distance. more intelligent mobs.

The content updates are the laziest I've ever seen in a game, usually just re-skinned versions of other mobs.

really, it's illegal in Sweden to even think about lighting a fire under someone's ass. everyone's too comfortable to innovate. it's sad for a game with such potential. I'm waiting for someone to come and knock it off the voxel throne...

I think once the hardware process comes down and these mini DGXs become cheaper, and by then open models still be smaller and better, there is going to be less and less reason to use the providers. CEOs are already complaining that they are costing too much. There are also large organisations like Banks which can't use external services and are already looking at internal housing. it's a good thing so the big AI companies just went IPO as once the self hosting trend kicks in they are going bust.

funny that he put "cleaver" and "lazy" at the top :D

I guess with crime you have both going on. the majority is crime born from economic circumstances, but there are a small percentage which are just crazy mf

I love PG... but the covers stink. Should have a public competition to have new ones made and voted on. I'm willing to vibe code a website to make it happen if you're willing...

or use a hybrid approach and have the best of both https://youtu.be/1vB3JXzewx0?si=DWKNgPcJcz5u4Bkp

yeah, but everyone can use the coding agents, not everyone can choose well. the rarer the skill the more you get paid for it. also, the better you code the better the results you get from the agent

yeah, but they don't support a lot of the features Claude does like MCP integration. we've booked this up to logfire (telemetry provider) and it's a game changer when doing optimisation or diagnosis of bugs. plugins and skills also missing. but it is nice to switch between provider easily

these are unfair comparisons. it's not just a single laptop running all day it's all the graphic designer laptops that get replaced. it's not a single container of painting supplies it's all off them, (which are toxic by the way).

so if power were plentiful and environmental you'd be onboard with it?

please! nobody uses Xpath (coz json killed XML), it RDF (semantic web never happened, and one ever 10years is not fast), schema.org (again, nobody cares), PNG: no change in the last 26 years, not fast. the HTML "living standard" :D completely optional and hence not a standard but definition.

Word Bro! Regex is so simple to read and easy to get right... and its like if Immanuel Kant wrote find and replace, yeah, learn a new language to do a single function... yEAH! 98% Bro! I'd marry Regex if I could (but if we got divorced it would be my exregex [which is almost a palindrome!] Bro!)

I think the best example I've seen of the pipeline approach: ASR(STT) -> LLM -> TTS is still from about 10 months ago in HN https://github.com/KoljaB/RealtimeVoiceChat

Just a pity the code is undecipherable :(

Don't be so hard on yourself :P

what do you mean "infer"? how does the LLM get anything it of this as input?

I guess if I'd done all that work on lobster and then bipolar built a ray traced voxel engine on top of that, end game would be to licence the engine. You have something here that the other game engines don't have, and something Minecraft is not likely to have (they are pretty stagnant development wise). This is easily 100 times better than Roblox. If you focus on making the world building tools easy to use and modding/game design you could easily be the next big thing. Don't get too bogged down in game design other than to use it as a proof of concept to help you understand what game designers will need.

Is that what putting a camera in the hands of everyone with a smartphone (basically everyone) did for photography?

Or making video editing + free, global publishing platform did for film? (see: doom scrolling).
