Hah, I thought it just randomly started working. But no, you fixed it :)

It keeps saying "Your connection dropped. Let’s get you back out there." after a few seconds, then returns me to my spawn point. I don't see any bad HTTP status codes in the network tab

Can you make it a little more resilient on Wifi + 4G? I would really like to try this, it seems fun

Also, incorporating elevation data would also be really cool

The CoT shows Astra skipping spaces and words. I have never seen this before. Is it a consequence of the looped architecture?

Look closely. The second h is behind the word and almost as dark as the background

For me, it's about comfort. No need to bounce my right hand between the home row, the arrow keys and the mouse. No need to stretch my left pinky to Ctrl and Shift for every shortcut. Everything is near the home row in Vim, by design.

For all of the ciw examples, ce is easier since the cursor is at the first letter of the word.

Where dw works, this game teaches vlllld instead, which is a bad habit to teach.

Ctrl+A increments the first number after the cursor, which is easier than, say, f6r7 in cases where they do the same thing. Similarly, Ctrl+X decrements.

t:t: is weird when fY is much easier.

The Vim simulator has a minor difference compared to real Vim:

    0
    0

Start on line one and do CTRL-V then j then CTRL-A. Real Vim would increment both. The simulator only increments the one under the cursor.

Not just Claude. In my experience, almost any LLM running in Pi would rather go down rabbit holes than ask for clarification. I think the solution is to restrict what the LLM can do: If it keeps running into "permission denied" when trying to run disassemblers or read files in /lib64, then it's probably not doing what the user intended it to do.

But you're right, that report is definitely written by an LLM. Humans don't typically put parenthetical postmodifiers in headings ("Mechanism (from the shipped libc.so)"), but LLMs just love them too much.
