Direct API access I’m afraid, it was not my intention to spent it all in one go on this. But after 12€ I didn’t want to stop anymore

Would love a PR with this!

Not sure if it would've gone to the front page of Hackernews with that title! I was also trying to make a little fun about the drama around Mythos/Fable: Even though Fable did this really well, to me it does not appear to be fundamentally different from other top models.

This was my second attempt, I'm still learning! Besides, the wolf was freaking me out.

I also realized this, a quick Google search would’ve told me that this game has been made several times before, also way before I ever had this idea. Apparently it’s a pretty obvious game idea.

Ah well, it’s still fun and it does appear to measure how good AI is in creating these kind of games.

Maybe, but using state-of-the-art large language models to solve customer support queries with agentic can quickly use a lot of tokens. What I understood from the talk is that they used agents with limited responsibility and (assumption from me) smaller models, to the make sure the answers were quick, reliable and not too costly.

Yes, that's right, it's https://github.com/vnglst/stacked-game-of-life

The link was broken indeed. Should be fixed now. Glad you like it!

I asked Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview to generate the modern artworks as SVG for my Pelican Art Gallery. I particularly like the rendition of the Sunflowers: https://pelican.koenvangilst.nl/gallery/category/modern

I've been experimenting with using Claude Code for researching political topics using the archive of UN General Assembly speeches provided by the University of Birmingham (https://www.ungdc.bham.ac.uk/). Here are some initial results.

Oh that's weird. Are you sure it was the basic link and not the one with count down mode?

The one I shared in the parent is for the New Year's countdown: https://tetris-time.koenvangilst.nl/?mode=countdown&to=2026-...

The basic link should show the current time, even at high speeds: https://tetris-time.koenvangilst.nl/?speed=10

Oh wait, I just tested it on a higher speed (20) and I see what you mean. It's drawing over the existing Tetrominoes! I'm going to max the speed at 10.
