Yes, and so is this guy's website. Because who is going to interact with a computer-screen when we can just literally talk (as in: speak) to an AI?

As someone who knows something in the space he brags about, it is fascinating to see the dunning kruger effect in realtime here. Even with all those claudes in “adversarial review”.

Realtime soft lighting is possible on mobile but if he had known that, i bet claude woulda been able to do it but he didnt.

If there was even the speckle of curiosity, he would have asked beyond “dont make mistakes” but i guess he was too busy riding his bike while burning 50k to make a blog.

it loads as a plain text site in Brave with WebGL disabled - I had to re-open it in Chrome to see the actual fancy thing only after seeing the comments here

It's the view off the Warschauer Bridge in Berlin, nobody actually lives there.

It's from the public domain

I used to live in this area in Berlin and immediately recognized it. It's weird, broken, dirty, rough and somehow exciting. And I'm gonna join the good tradition of people saying that it used to be better in the past because big money(tm) took over and changed things for the worse.

> In addition, Flash has not performed well on mobile devices

H5 animations performs much worse on all devices.

Flash animations like Felix's can run well on a Pentium III processor with 64MB memory.

Can we reverse engineer the prompt? Can we reverse engineer the meta prompt? Can we reverse engineer the meta^n prompt?

Im going to port it to Rust

Everything that ever had value went the same way: food, art, motorcycles, tourism... you visit somewhere or buy something that looks exciting and 9 times out of 10 it's soulless, industrially produced, mass-targeted and ends up worth less than the money you spent on it.

It's surprising to feel that way about code projects. For most people computers always were soulless machines without anything creative associated with them. Now we're in a strange inversion of history where people who never had any idea what to do with a computer suddenly feel very creative talking to the cloud to ask it to rain down some weird and wonderful thing on them that they feel proud to post about on their social media.

Weird times. Anyway just wanted to say you're not alone.

He is a technical manager at Anthropic, so what do you expect?

Interesting, I find the 'mood' very cozy and welcoming. There's nothing nicer than a warm, dimly lit room with a computer (or in this case VCR) when it's cold and rainy outside :)

The stark landscape and accented voiceover seem to be inspired by the documentary Happy People: A Year in the Taiga by Werner Herzog: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psnY17CImaQ

It's just themed on a Werner Herzog documentary (which are inherently pretty gloomy). But also, who can say for sure

It feels like it's trying to evoke Bioshock vibes or a similar retro-punk dystopia.

Well he did use the penguin that walks off into oblivion

You are the prototype of the jealous HN commenter.

I also lived in Friedrichshain, Berlin during Covid. In fact, at the corner of Warschauer str. & Boxhagener Str. The first thing I noticed was the Mercedes Arena and the (Ost-)Bahnhof.

The remains of the wall, (Mauer) is not much visible from that point, but definitely gives certain hacker-vibes...

guide to how it was created: https://felixrieseberg.com/made-by-mechanical-means/

It is a marvelous thing. A beautiful app platform. Suddenly, one day, I was no longer Linux user without app. Linux app was standard. Everybody has Linux app. I had dual-boot Linux computer to play Valorant on Windows and to live normal life on Linux. And I use Mac at work. And it is all glorious because I no longer think about which is which. And there are people who are saying it is not amazing, but it is. I can hit Ctrl-R and the application refreshes. What an astounding tool.

For me the great app platforms:

* the terminal

* the iPhone/Android

* the web

And suddenly, the web is brought to the desktop and it is cross-platform. Everything is here on my Linux. It is the Year of the Linux Desktop and everyone is complaining about web platform. But it is web platform that has brought it here. Praise be the forces that made this happen. This man has a great website, and if he has made Electron then he is always welcome to me.

I can’t find anything better than Electron/Tauri for building cross-platform desktop apps. The browser engine is quite efficient and performant for building complex interfaces

Electron might be a good example of worse is better.

Electron was too good when I first saw it, and gave the "Javascript everywhere" for the desktop apps. Then quickly felt like a bloatware.

Please post generic snarky swipes like this on HN. The guidelines make it clear we're trying for something better here. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

To be fair; Node is involved in this too.

if (when) a better solution arises it will be the dominant solution. long live electron

There is a button ”Enter muted” right below enter

Hmm, here (macOS + Chrome) it starts with 'Sound off', says even so in the bottom right corner.
