> They could have diverged their compute to another datacenter surely.

The latency impact would be huge

This is not an Unreal Engine agents? Very disappointed

Zooming in on a clock 4-500yds away and expecting a fully crisp image seems somewhat of a useless benchmark.

If harness is all that matters, a co-developed harness + model stack + large compute availability advantage + massive distribution advantage with data for post training will win the market.

What would be the point in making SC3? SC2 is free to play, great game, and still barely gets any players. I play against the same 30-40 people every time in ranked.

Congrats!! I remember growing up in Italy and really really wanting to attend Hacker School but couldn’t afford to. It resonated a lot with me and make me want to keep learning; I am sure you are still having that impact on others today, it’s great to see it’s still around!

NVIDIA already designs most of their chips using AI. Why would you assume it's meaningless marketing?

How many more years do you want to wait? I own a store and we have not really seen any dip in attendance. There are definitely lots of older players churning, but lots of new ones being brought in as well. It's clear the game is being Commander-ified and lots of folks who were more interested in constructed / competitive Magic aren't happy, but it doesn't mean the game will die or anything like that.

Final Fantasy, LOTR, Avatar, are some of the best selling sets in the history of Magic. As much as I don't like some of the spiderslop, there is no real argument against printing more of it. The Hobbit set is going to be a complete blowout success.

There is plenty of precedent being written here. It does not seem to be the case at all for the average use of this technology.

Solving merge conflicts on text-based files is infinitely easier than binary-based. It's not a useful comparison.

Show HN: Slop Meter for GitHub

FanaHOVA — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 20:03:14 +0000

About 6 years ago I wrote a blog post [0] with some ideas on how to help popular open source maintainers deal with all the noise on Github. Patted myself in the back and never did anything about it :)

There's recently been a lot more discussion around this due to AI, so I've built a simple tool called "Slop Meter" [1]. It gives maintainers a quick snapshot of the user's history in open source:

1) Do they just open issues and expect you to do everything, or will they put in the work to fix the problems and open a PR? What's the issues : PR ratio? 2) If they do contribute, what percentage of their PRs actually gets merged?

I feel like these are the two most important signals when triaging what to pay attention to in open source.

You can install this on any Github repo and it will automatically post a comment with the stats. We do not run this on maintainers or existing contributors.

You can also go on the web and look up a Github profile; it will take a minute or so to import depending on how much public data they have (maybe longer if this makes the front page...).

Example profile: https://slopmeter.kernellabs.ai/u/mitchellh

If you are an OSS maintainer, I'd love to hear any feedback.

You know it's a EU study because they bring up "AI patents" in the first 2 minutes of it, as if they mean anything
