H3X_K1TT3N··on Claude Opus 4.8
Thanks for also sharing the prompt. I've been testing claude by asking it to make similar things, so it's useful to see what other people are doing.

I do find it interesting that the visual style is pretty similar to things it's produced for me.

Yeah, I don't understand why everyone is trying to invalidate their experience or suggest workarounds (implying that they are the problem); this isn't stackoverflow.

Every TV I have interacted with in recent years is slow and terrible, except for really old ones. The TVs are the problem, and we shouldn't be making excuses for that.

H3X_K1TT3N··on JavaScript Demos in 140 Characters
Every time I think I couldn't possibly make it smaller, I manage to shave off a few more bytes. Got it under 400 now:

x.arc&&c.parentNode.replaceChild(g=c.cloneNode(),c);x=g.getContext`webgl`;f=Float32Array;eval(`d=320()395(41,318())310(41,new f([0,n=0.5,-n,-n,n,-n]),46)${z='382(a=322(13'}9),'attribute vec2 c;${d='void main(){gl_'}Position=vec4(c${w=",0,1);}')313(a)302(d,a)"}${z}8),'${d}FragColor=vec4(0,1${w}376(d)393(d)435(0,2,128,0,0,0)406(0)404(12,0,3)`.replace(/\d{2,}/g,"\nx[Object.keys(x.__proto__)[$&]]"))

Yeah, that's fair, but I just wanted to see if I could do it this way (for funsies)

Welp, that took up a chunk of my day. This is as far as I got tricking it into doing webgl (it just renders a triangle):

if(!window.g){gc=document.createElement('canvas');g=gc.getContext('webgl');c.parentNode.replaceChild(gc,c);k=Object.keys(g.__proto__);d='void main(){gl_';str = `g395(g41,g318())g310(g41,new Float32Array([0,0.5,0,-0.5,-0.5,0,0.5,-0.5,0]),g46);a=g322(g139)g382(a,'attribute vec3 c;${d}Position=vec4(c,1);}')g313(a);b=g322(g138)g382(b,'${d}FragColor=vec4(1,0,1,0);}')g313(b);d=g320()g302(d,a)g302(d,b)g376(d)g393(d)g435(0,3,g128,0,0,0)g406(0)g404(g12,0,3)`.replace(/g(\d+)/g,"\ng.\${k[$1]}");eval("eval(`"+str+"`)")}

I assume there are far more advanced methods than what I managed to do, so it's probably possible to actually get that to 140 characters.

This should work: function scale(multi) { cnv = document.getElementsByTagName('canvas')[0]; cnv.width = 358 * multi; cnv.height = 360 * multi; window.focalLength = 200 * multi; window.init(); } scale(4);

I cheated (for science)
H3X_K1TT3N··on The iPhone 15 Pro’s Depth Maps
I did a test scan on a small object (1:12 scale doll), and it seems to capture fine details really well, but I can't say for sure that it would be suitable for things like car parts; you would have to try it and see I suppose.

I take it back; I double checked and it was more like $180. Still worth it IMO.

I've had the most success doing 3d scanning with Heges. The LiDAR works pretty well for large objects (like cars), but you can also use the Face ID depth camera to capture smaller objects.

I did end up getting the Creality Ferret SE (via TikTok for like $100) for scanning small objects, and it's amazing.

I used to want the visual c++ 6 icon lol

welp, that was short, but neat
H3X_K1TT3N··on Show HN: A difficult game to test your logic
wait, I reopened the link in a new tab and it's suddenly working; not sure what's up with that.

I clicked the frogs, but nothing happened. Am I doing it wrong or is it broken?
