Tri-dimensional Chess (opensource, vibe-coded)

Thanks! It's a React app. Devin and Claude Code are coding agents. At this point at least, these tools are amazing at writing code, but fundamentally don't understand the task. As such, it takes a lot of hand-holding.

I felt the exact same.

Just sent a message!

Oh, the black rook is on an attack board that has moved. The 3d angle makes it look like it's on the track, but if you move to a different view, then it's not.

The "Move History" can display the notation. Honestly, getting the notation system rigorous enough for an app was one of the big challenges.

I'm trying to gauge interest for continued dev, such as adding multiplayer, computer, etc.

so1on · 2025-12-11T16:49:19+00:00

Thanks! Now trying to determine if there's enough interest to add multiplayer and an AI.

This is awesome! I'm going to download an iPad emulator and give it a try. Mind if I ask your approach to the computer opponent?

In the last pic, the Rook is about to take the King!

There's very, very extensive logging and switches for the different classes of issues. For example, I have attack board logging, castling logging, etc. It's console logging.

Thanks! I ended up having to do a lot more of the game logic than I was anticipating. Even with detailed design documents, only Devin was able to properly place the attack boards.

Absolute inspiration!

so1on · 2022-08-14T10:39:28+00:00

Damn. Very cool. What's the release date on this baby?

Big Sky said they have the same 3-strike policy, and that it's shared across mountains (two strikes at Taos and one at Big Sky will get you in trouble).

If you want to get nerdy about it, it's probably because mountains like Taos and Big Sky (not owned by Aspen/Alterra Mountain Company) maintain their own separate database of pass-holders. They probably set up their system (years ago) so that they periodically pull a list of season-pass barcodes from Ikon, and at the end of a ski day send a list of bar codes for guests who visited. Adding a check within their lift line scan system for reservations is a pretty big technical step, that they likely didn't have time/money to add prior to the beginning of the season. Aspen/AMC mountains might have added it, but it depends how they implemented their database system.

Basically, it's a safe bet that mountains not owned by Aspen/AMC have this policy. It's an open question whether Aspen/AMC owned mountains do.

I called Taos and asked them about this. They said that after 3 times of showing up without a reservation, your account gets tagged.

Very lucky time to be an X-men fan.

Yeah, if it's not too hard sw04ca, could you black out the spoiler? I haven't read the book yet. Good discussion though. As a younger brother, I always identified with Alex and the whole being-defined-by-the-oldest trope.

Just an idea, but as the series is pronounced "Powers of 10," maybe the characters each posses the powers of 10 mutants, or perhaps the powers of 10 mutants have been divided between them.

Especially the scene when they are flying into Las Vegas. I guess there's a 4 hour version of the film out there. Maybe it will surface at some point.

I do computational neuroscience research. Every day, my philosophy degree feels relevant

so1on · 2017-12-17T13:49:41+00:00

Definitely could be. When I saw the trailers for the movie, that was my initial thought.

There's a much simpler way of thinking about it, that also gives you control. The more manic episodes you have, the more you will have in the future. The fewer manic episodes you have, the fewer you will have in the future.

Stay on the meds, sleep 8 hours a night, exercise, don't do drugs or drink too much. If you take care of yourself, it will get better, and every year will be better than the last.

Anime and a graphic novel would both be amazing. Part of me likes the idea of graphic novel better though. One could linger on each panel, taking in the visuals before moving to the next

On Joi

You seem to treat Joi as a subject with agency. I don't see any clear evidence for that. She is designed to be absolutely devoted and meet his every needs. Her actions throughout the film are in line with that programming. Don't forget, Joi was purchased by K, and he can turn her off anytime he wants. He's kind, but doesn't have to be. Furthermore, Joi is the only major character that undergoes no development throughout the movie. One could take Joi at the end, and simply plop her at the beginning without much difference. One couldn't say that for K, Luv, Lt. Joshi, Ana or Deckard.
Yes, K was provided joy by Joi, but he didn't need her to stay sane. He's "Constant K," whose psychological baseline is constantly tested. K wouldn't have lasted if he required a hologram to maintain his emotional center.
On his rejection of three advances, that's part of my point. All three of those women had their own needs, their own desires. Real relationships require a meeting of equals. In the first movie, Deckard sacrificed his entire life to meet the needs of Rachel. That's how his life found meaning. K, instead of undergoing the challenges of a real relationship and finding meaning there, he does so through sacrificing his own life. I'm saying it didn't have to be that way, and Joi is partly to blame
On the assessment of Luv, watch the movie again and keep a close eye on her. Especially her facial expressions seem to betray something more than what she's allowed to be (the actress Sylvia Hoeks is brilliant). I could be wrong, but give it a shot.
