The fly has most of its motor functions cut in order to better enjoy the sugar

I've seen many projects so far subjecting this poor fly to various manmade horrors, so I tried to do the opposite. The name is an intentional play off of "Infinite Pain" by Harris Rosenblum, a 2025 artwork in which a simulated nematode nervous system is provided with continuous pain stimuli.

In Travis Diehl's critique of this work he writes: "The piece conveys a negative aura simply in that the artists decided to build a torture chamber. Why not a nematode orgasmatron?"

I personally do not feel limited by the ~100mb binary size. We're working in Javascript after all.

A few takeaways from my limited test runs:

1. Gemini really loves wizards

2. Running agents is expensive

3. Supervising auto-bloons is about as fun as playing it yourself

cnqso — Wed, 12 Mar 2025 14:54:24 +0000

I'm a hyprland zoomer but I used Niri for a bit and it worked pretty well. It slots in perfectly for someone coming from an average single-monitor Windows workflow (for most office-style tasks). I still think that more complex tiling setups have a higher productivity ceiling though. I guess if you're like this guy and keep >10 workspaces open at once you'd have to go with Niri. I wonder if the increased battery life would still hold for someone that only keeps a few windows open at once. 2 hours is insane from just a change of wm

Any modern web scraping set up is going to require browser agents. You will probably have to build your own tools to get anything from a major social media platform, or even NYT articles.
