Wow he really lucked out... On his way to perfecting a fully functioning and performant Even/Odd Detector, he stumbled upon a fully functioning and performant Coin Flip Simulator!

Cannot stand robot code. Thanks for the genuinely cool thing though. I hope you don't mind me rewriting, if only for my own satisfaction.

  {
    const s = window.scroller = {}
    const press = (key, code) => () =>
      document.dispatchEvent(new KeyboardEvent('keydown', {
        key: key, keyCode: code,
        which: key, code: code, bubbles: true
      }));
    const step = () => {
      const div = document.querySelector('.animal-name')
      const name = div?.textContent.trim()
      if (name === 'Pando Clone') s.dir = s.left
      if (name === 'DNA') s.dir = s.right
      s.dir()
    }
    s.left = press(37, 'ArrowLeft')
    s.right = s.dir = press(39, 'ArrowRight')
    s.start = (ms) => s.ival = setInterval(step, ms)
    s.stop = () => clearInterval(s.ival)
  }
  scroller.start(5000)

I don't mind at all, your rewrite looks much more elegant. Thanks!

If anyone wants to set this up to auto-run all the way to the right and then all the way back to the left, here is a vibe-coded (sorry) browser console script. Makes a great "screen-saver" if you kick off the script and then put your browser in full screen mode :)

    (function() {
        let direction = 'right'; // Start by going right
        let intervalId;

        function getCurrentAnimalName() {
            const animalDiv = document.querySelector('.animal-name');
            return animalDiv ? animalDiv.textContent.trim() : '';
        }

        function pressKey(keyCode) {
            const event = new KeyboardEvent('keydown', {
                key: keyCode === 37 ? 'ArrowLeft' : 'ArrowRight',
                keyCode: keyCode,
                code: keyCode === 37 ? 'ArrowLeft' : 'ArrowRight',
                which: keyCode,
                bubbles: true
            });
            document.dispatchEvent(event);
        }

        function autoScroll() {
            const currentName = getCurrentAnimalName();
            
            if (direction === 'right') {
                pressKey(39); // Right arrow
                
                if (currentName === 'Pando Clone') {
                    console.log('Reached Pando Clone, switching to left');
                    direction = 'left';
                }
            } else {
                pressKey(37); // Left arrow
                
                if (currentName === 'DNA') {
                    console.log('Reached DNA, switching to right');
                    direction = 'right';
                }
            }
        }

        // Start the interval
        intervalId = setInterval(autoScroll, 3000);
        
        // Log start message and provide stop function
        console.log('Auto-scroll started! To stop, call: stopAutoScroll()');
        
        // Expose stop function globally
        window.stopAutoScroll = function() {
            clearInterval(intervalId);
            console.log('Auto-scroll stopped');
        };
    })();

Something about this page doesn't seem to work for me. Clicking the tiles doesn't do anything. It's not ad-blocker-related, I disabled those to test.

kayge · 14 days ago

If you want to skip to December 31st, you can enter the following into your browser console to make all the tiles/doors openable:

  const elements = document.querySelectorAll(".countdown-calendar__door");
  elements.forEach(element => {
    element.classList.add("will-open");
  });

I wonder if the AI correctly identified it as a bag of Doritos, but was also trained on the commercial[0] where the bag appears to beat up a human (his fault for holding on too tight) and then it destroys an alien spacecraft.

I was prepared to be absolutely fucking disgusted by such a comment but I.... shit. I mean... this is.... this is wild

I gotta go contemplate 'where we're at' again it seems. If that is truly a straight generative audio diffusion model.... wait, how did they get the same verse by verse chord progressions to match? this has to be professionally post-produced, right? AI models aren't able to do this end-to-end yet, right?

As a big fan of Chris Cornell I went through the same stream of emotions with their Motown version of Like a Stone[0]. And if you can get past the thumbnail, check out the 2000s Rock version of Many Men[1]

Two years ago, I wouldn’t have bothered with the rewrite, let alone creating the script in the first place. The friction was too high. Now, small utility scripts like this are almost free to build.

This aligns with the hypothesis that we should see and lots lots of "personalized" or single purpose software if vibe coding works. This particular project is one example. Are there a ton more out there?

kayge · 2 months ago

Yep! Nothing worth sharing/publishing from me, but quite a few mini projects that are specific to my position at a small non-tech company I work for. For example we send data to a client on a regular basis, and they send back an automated report with any data issues (missing fields, invalid entries, etc) in a human-unfriendly XML format. So I one-shotted a helper script to parse that data and append additional information from our environment to make it super easy for my coworkers to find and fix the data issues.
