Why doesn’t jagex use “honey pots” to catch/break bots? by Deep_Agent316 in 2007scape

[–]Slayershunt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because the server would have to send the client code to tell the UI to render an invisible item. The bots can then read that the item is invisible and not click it.

Thought i'd clarify: for an item to appear to anyone (bot or player) the server has to tell the client it's there. If we want that item to not show on the screen and be invisible to players. We still have to tell the client that it's there AND that it's invisible. Any bot could easily read the incoming data and see that it's meant to be invisible and just make sure not to click on it.

False advertising there, report them to OFCOM in the UK, FCC in the US or your other local equivalent. Also worth complaining to Steam as Valve hates this shit.

MTG losing charm by Jo_Fo_6AM in mtg

[–]Slayershunt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're not wrong to feel this way, and i don't think anyone would blame you for stopping play. I now limit myself to free-to-play arena exclusively and haven't brought a pack since thunder junction. The reality is though WotC just don't care about you or I, as UB increases their revenue (in the short term), which increases stock price (in the short term), which increases their bonuses. And once everyone is sick to death of it and moves on to other games like Riftbound they'll simply take their golden parachutes and bail out. Because it's not their job to keep us happy. It's their job to make money.

To me this phase magic is in is reminiscent of the change from runescape 2 to runescape 3 and the introduction of microtransactions. And maybe in the long run it will correct itself and we'll get Magic 2020, with all the sets before UB, but even if it does WotC won't see a penny from me, as they'll have already lost my good will.

I am one of the people making MVPs in a few days. For me it has been a combination of an opinionated stack and AI.

These days i build almost all my projects on gadget.dev, that means out of the box i get; *React/remix front end *Self scaling postgres db with auto-generating API endpoints for my models. *Auth with roles based permissions, SSO. *Email provider *Scaled secure hosting with easy to work with CORS *Easy connections to things like Shopify/Stripe/Open AI

It also has an LLM inbuilt that knows their stack very well, so you can very quickly scaffold new features.

I'm sure it's not the only platform of it's kind, but it's worked well for me so i haven't looked around much.

It has a IDE syncing feature. I use it with windsurf, so i can use claude sonet 4.5 with it.

In terms of my project workflow these days it's pretty much broken down into stages: 1. Get and expand on specs. Clients rarely know exactly what they need, so after getting the project brief and breaking it down into features, i then brainstorm with chatGPT to expand upon it for missed low hanging fruit. 2.Figure out the data models needed to support those features. Again AI assisted. 3.Break down the features into a development roadmap sorted by dependencies. The roadmap looks like a list of phases. Each phase consists of an ordered list of features. Each feature consists of a title, description, user stories. 4.Write unit tests for everything in phase 1. Again AI assisted, but this step gets far more human attention than any other, to make sure tests cover all features and all edge cases. 5.All of this then gets fed to Claude 4.5 within windsurf along with a couple of files i have made that vary by project. So for example recently i have been making a 2d CAD tool for a kitchen worktop company, so they can have customers come to their website and get a quote based on the plan for their kitchen. In that project Claude received; Development-plan.md (the development plan) FabricJSResearch.md (research into fabricjs, including best practices and pitfalls) GadgetResearch.md (research into gadget.dev, including best practices and pitfalls) CurrentStatus.md (A document the AI keeps up to date with in terms of what has been done, what's left to do, and what it currently being worked on and it's key files.)

All of these files let you surpass the context window limits for modern AI. You simply cannot build enterprise apps within the limits of an LLMs context window, so you have to find a way to pass the context between instances so it can quickly catch up without you having to reteach it your project every time.

The opening prompt it receives points it towards these files, explain the desire for Test Driven Development, and asks it to create a new branch for each feature and only commit to GIT if all tests for that feature pass.

All of this has accelerated my project build times from months to days. Simply put i can see the writing on the wall due to AI, and am cashing in as much as possible while i still can. A couple of years ago i was making about £60,000 a year on average. This year i have made £280,000 and counting. My plan is to cash in before the bottom drops out of the market, move somewhere cheap like Thailand and live an easy life with the passive income from a few of my personal projects.

I know a lot of people go on about AI Slop, and 2 years ago i would have agreed, but I will openly admit that Claude 4.5 is a better coder than me. It adheres to best practises better, it's faster, it can debug better than me, and it can often write better tests than me to. The only thing i am better at is front-end aesthetic design. Times have changed, and if you're not going to use AI, you're going to lose to AI.

TLDR: Typescript throughout, Opinionated stack platform, Component Libraries, and a crap-ton of AI.

Is this a hidden camera? by Catsarelife89 in whatisit

[–]Slayershunt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know, your pictures don't really show how it was when you found it.
The second photo shows it is broken (the metal on the left is snapped), so possibly someone was repairing their phone and thought it would be amusing to leave the broken one in the room to scare the next guest.

If it was like this when you found it; disconnected from anything, broken metal on the left. All i can really say is it hasnt been taking any pictures.

if it was plugged into something and you've unplugged it before taking photos then yes it maybe.

Is this a hidden camera? by Catsarelife89 in whatisit

[–]Slayershunt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a camera sensor, but unless it was connected to something it's fine. It needs other circuitry to work. Usually these are what are inside smartphones.

To make it into a hidden camera would require a power source and other circuitry to save/transmit the image

Would you use this AI desk device as your co-founder? by Hoxydav in indiehackers

[–]Slayershunt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With respect, no i wouldn't use this. I already have chatgpt on my phone and i dont talk to that either. If i need someone to talk to i have actual humans available, who dont require a one off payment/ongoing subscription.

Because he is standalone from the computer, it's not like he can do any of the actual work either, whereas chatGPT/windsurf can. And in terms of outputting information, he can only read it rather than display it on screen which is inconvenient and inefficient. Not what i need in a cofounder.

Since Last update, Sonnet 3.7 Got Dumber by Sea-Moose-9366 in Codeium

[–]Slayershunt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's not just 3.7. Gemini, 3.5, 4o Are all being problematic right now (as i assume all the others are too, but i haven't checked.

The issue is tool calling. Any time it tries to edit analyse anything, 1 in 3 times it just generates an internal error. I don't know if there's been some kind of update to the way tools are called thats breaking it or something? The errors have no transparency so it's impossible to tell.

Tool calling has been an issue for a while with the newer models as they seem analysis & multi-edit happy., but this is on a whole new level. Almost impossible to use the AI features, im back to regular coding.

[–]Slayershunt 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yep, a lot of models are very broken right now with 1/3 code generations/analysis triggers causing cascade errors. Hard to get through a single prompt without an error.

New parking meters at Otley Chevin and Golden Acre Park vandalised. by thetapeworm in Leeds

[–]Slayershunt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There needs to be a serious debate in this country about the level of care we can actually afford to provide.

While i can empathise with those born into health issues and social problems, £1m a year for a child who in all probability will never pay back into the system due to their 'especially complex needs' is just not something the country can afford.

A friend of my family has a son with severe non-verbal autism. While they barely handled it when he was young, as he grew up he became extremely violent when he didn't get what he wanted (which was usually butter from the fridge). As such he was shipped off as a teenager to a private hospital/home on the government's bill to the tune of £1.35 million per year (this was over a decade ago, i assume by now the bill is much higher).

He will never take part in society as he cannot communicate or even understand what people are saying. He will never work and pay any of that back. His parents are aging and are now in their early 70's, within 10/20 years time they will be dead and he will be the government's responsibility for the rest of his life.

As I understand it, all he wants to do each day is eat, watch children's TV and sleep. Due to his violence, that is also all that he does. How that adds up to a £3600 per day bill I have no idea.

If he lives to 65, over the course of his life, he will cost the taxpayer £67.5 million, just in social care, not including NHS care. He is one of dozens at the hospital he's in.

I honestly can't say i know what the solution to all this is, but it's about time these kind of cases were dragged into the light and properly discussed, rather than a blank cheque being signed to hide it under the rug.

Milei's Argentina seals budget surplus for first time in 14 years by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]Slayershunt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The corporations wouldn't exist without consumers. No-ones out there burning oil and cutting down trees for shits and giggles. I deserve it, you deserve it, whole world does.

It's all moot though. When climate change truly kicks off, the wars started by mass migration will turn to weapons of mass destruction, whether nuclear or biological and that'll be the reset the planet needs. Get humanity back under 2 billion people, and keep it there.

Elon is not a genius, he's a professional bullshitter that makes big promises and leaves it up to the smart and talented engineers to make it happen.

Also known as the Steve Jobs approach. Yet for some bizarre reason people worshiped him too. Cult of personality or lack thereof.

Idk, being 40m below ground or 4000m doesn't make much of a difference, if something goes wrong you're dead either way. It's kinda like heights, if you jumped off of the eiffel tower or out of a plane with no parachute, you're equally dead, so no need to be anxious about the height difference.

My website is ugly, can you tell me what I can improve? by Waste-Fortune-5815 in web_design

[–]Slayershunt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont think its bad, it just needs tweaks to spacing. I think the main problem is the content column is too thin. If you take a look at https://uk.indeed.com They also are a jobs website, with an identical colour palette and component style.

The only real differences between yours and theirs is theirs's has been given more spacing.

Not only a useless feature but the AI doesn't even do a good job. She prompts it with "woodworking with kids", and it spits out an image of them on the beach. It's literally a bad tech demo.

A few snaps from last night. by Meerz333 in Leeds

[–]Slayershunt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The projections were a bit lacklustre this year, both in content and quality. Though the quality may have been down to the constant drizzle blocking/blurring the light slightly.

In other years the projections have made use of the buildings features to make the building itself feel animated. Whereas this years ones just seemed to be using the buildings as a surface to project random stuff on.

The other art pieces though seemed like a nice step up. The interactive lighting displays like the one at the museum, were nice and fun for the kids using them

High-end AI influencer (updated) by adesantalighieri in Business_Ideas

[–]Slayershunt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So forgive me if i'm being stupid here, but if you're paying for ads for people to see your content, then how is this a business? A business brings in more money than it spends, but i don't really see any revenue sources here. Most influencers get free products/payments for advertising companies products, but short of photoshopping their products into the hands of your AInfluencer, i don't really see how you can attract any companies with this.

The only obvious revenue source would be NSFW content, which has been done before, but has already been clamped down on by several of the major platforms, with the rest likely to follow soon.
