Who the heck is on your UX team?

WHY is a huge % of my UX filled with nothing? I would apprececiate metrics, token graphs etc

samstave··on Ultima VII: Revisited
uhm.. I might be a part of your guy's hist...

In 1997~ish, I was on the Intel team to test celeron procs on games (the team was 2 ppl, me and my best friend...

We had a bank of ~6 machines and accounts on a T3, and we rand circles around y'all PVPing the heck out of everything...

Dread Lord Phlux, Dread Lord Mym, HellFire Club)

It was my golden days of gaming, but it was because we were testing the new SIMD instruction sets in procs on celeron...

However, we had a T3 to desktop whilst everyone else had 56K modems... hahha fools...

(we were the reason you claimed "died due to lag")

*mym went on to be an EVP at BLIZZARD btw)

samstave··on Who needs a sneaker bot when AI can hallucinate a win for you?
Wait until bot gambling agents are AI swarms to fail_up all the bets of the grafting account..

Make N grafts, and N failurebots and spiral up. If you can twirl through consumption of trial account $ inputs (like $5 bet, fake account) and then just cycle through such.

as one who helped build the total awareness apparatus, I dont care about my privacy, only as a defeatist.

The only weapon again is trancperency of the Entanglements (recall that term, about AI entanglements?) -- What is unclear, is, WRT to these current revealings /confirmations(DOGE, etc) -- Are these institutions being untangled and removed, or squeezed out of their territory?

samstave··on Show HN: Mind Map Wizard – Generate Infinite Mind Maps with AI, for Free (FOSS)
I love mind maps - and I used to attempt to apply them to my workflows very early on (MindMeister, and a thing called workflowy.

But do to the non-agentic nature (silos) of info placed into mind maps, and workflowy hierarchic as well as checklist_manifesto workflows, they were all still disjointed and provided negative value in the use of the APPLICATIONS -- however, their impacts on my thought process was valuable insomuch as I could visually map HOW I want the information to be represented, which, with todays toolbelt that is thankfully free to the world, I can now weave those thoughts together, and @HN has, for the last 20 years been super inspiration...

What I want from a mind mapping AI thing, is something that I often direct the bot to create, Mermaid diagrams, sanky, and export to svg... (I also have them python blender scripts... which if you havent tried that out yet, please do (tell the bot to produce a blender python script to do [blob] and then paste to blender... Super fun)

It would be interesting to have the mindmap be able to have my @codebase thrown to context and have the output an interactive with tool_tips being certain metrics from the hover, or a minimap of the codebase where that noe appears - then an .blend output such that you can take a whole mindmap, icosphere_ize the nodes...

I really want to talk to cursor through blender... (or something like that -- there were some folks who said they were making such, but they vanished.)

Add FluidX3d

and then you can have Cursor layer over an actual fluid dynamics to the catchments and determine how the Sphinx was eroded...

Jokes aside, do it for wind flow layers as well.

samstave··on Emergence of collective oscillations in human crowds
Id bet that the 18 seconds is related to the amount of time between when people naturally shift on their feet/comfort pocket...

Meaning that, if you notice the frequency by which people shift their weight and move -- its likely in that window, assuming other externalities (bathroom, heat, thirst, anger, etc -- the physiological cycle of body comfort may be in that area of 18 secs)

samstave··on GoScrapy: Harnessing Go's power for fast web scraping
inspired from your launchy.

Im "in the market" for robust scraping...

There have been a bunch here on HN recently - this poem is a meta about how I need a scraper to scrape HN for all the scraper posts then scrape together a scappy script with a sucky bot to slurp me some slices of data I can slap some python around and humiliate a senator based on grifty mcGriftishschzitch,

(serious - AI scraping and into trained funnels is the furture.

I wrote about Discernment Lattices...

Which are structured/weaponized scrape funnels.

REP-EDIT:

You can literally just ask bot for api docs to access info - then gimme a python for such:

>>"..evaluate the docs for each API and give me the most straight-forward python to connect which prompts me for which fin inst - with a menu for inputs. define an .env with the reqs fin inst fields i'd need to add.. but use the vars in the script... define in mermaid and swim."..

The problem is that I have so many logging iterations I get lost...

What I NEED is an AI co-AIHDHD-Pilot -- that watches all mY iterations and birdwalking through a problem, curiosity, muse, failure, success - -and give me a Charlie Day Version of my thought process

What about token sniffing? Is that even possible? Interesting? Valuable?
samstave··on Show HN: Node.js ORM to query SQL database through an array-like API
Have you use BI tools, such as Looker, Tableau, and the like?

LookerML is their abstracted version - but they always have an expander panel for seeing the sql.

---

What I would like is to use this in reverse - such that I can feed it a JSON output from my GPT bots Tribute - and use this to craft a sql schema dynamically into a more structured way where my table might be a mark-down version of the {Q} query - and it does SQL to create table if not exist, insert [these objects from this json for these things into this DB, now these json objects from this output into this other DB. Now I am pulling data into the DB that I can then RAG off as I fill it with Cauldrons of Knowledge I am scvraping for my rabbit-hole project thingamijiggers.

Or at least state what you configured toward and how?

samstave··on CSS @property and the new style
At some point, it will be nice to have an "Information Experience Palette" that is in your locked .env.pii.llm personal AI firewall, gateway. All of your digital DNA is held, managed, protected, and preferred by you, in your own, Sound Voice.

So ultimately, you apply the view to the page and the page conforms to your ingestion preference.

I should carry my own 'css' and be able to just pluck any URL and let me speak to my filter on how to display it.

And it will provide a new way to interact with my browsing history - allowing me to recall how that thing from HN from 3 months ago can tie into this thing, and augment my understanding when I can view them next to eachother... and I can categorize them into tags of the same ilk and have a mental rolodex that lets me re-view my browsing history in the UX lens of my choosing.

This looks great!

Ill definately be building something with this. Il give more detailed feedback after use - but from vid:

Have you used SPLINE at all and looked at their events menu system for anims in Spline (which BTW you should take a look at how to integrate and work with the Spline folks as their app would be an indeal way to make interactive 3d UI/X on this as well...

But also - (il test this,) but UI scaling for the windows to get them out of way given canvas, the ability to s=zoom a single element/page on the canvas?>

And the ability to float menu panels to a second screen? (I have a USb monitor on laptop, move all the menu panels to that usb monitor and have the canvas full screen laptop)

-Excited to try this out later today.
