   I've responded to this claim in more detail at [0], with additional context at [1]. Briefly, the project implemented substantial components, including a JS VM, DOM, CSS cascade, inline/block/table layout, paint systems, text

   Thanks for the feedback. I've addressed similar feedback at [0] and provided some more context at [1]. I do want to briefly note that the JS VM is custom and not QuickJS. It also implemented subsystems like the DOM, CSS cascade, inline

   Thanks for the feedback. I agree that for some parts that use dependencies, the agent could have implemented them itself. I've begun the process of removing many of these and developing them within the project alongside the browser. A

   Hey, Wilson here, author of the blog post and the engineer working on this project. I've been reading the responses here and appreciate the feedback. I've posted some follow up context on Twitter/X[0], which I'll also wr

   Thanks for the feedback. There were some build errors which have now been resolved; the CI test that was failing was not a standard check CI, and it's now been updated. Let me know if you have any further issues. > On twitter their

   I'm not sure what were the exact limits, but I definitely recall running into server errors with S3 and the OCI equivalent service — not technically 429s but enough to essentially limit throughput. SQS had 429s, I believe due to number

    Thanks for the heads up, just fixed this.

    Thank you! And thanks for raising that issue. I've pushed a fix that should hopefully mitigate this for you: it's possible to unselect, card images are hidden on mobile, and the invisible results area around a card (caused by the

    You may be right, a more tailored classifier for HN comments specifically may be more accurate. It'd be interesting to consider the classes: would it still be simply positive/negative? Perhaps constructive/unconstructive? Use

    Thanks for the great pointers! I didn't get the time to look into hierarchical clustering unfortunately but it's on my TODO list. Your comment about making the map clearer is great and something I think there's a lot of low-h

    by wilsonzlin 2y ago

    Thanks! Yeah I'd like to dive deeper into the sentiment aspect. As you say it'd be interesting to see some overview, instead of specific queries. The negative sentiment stood out to me mostly because I was expecting a more "c

    Thanks! Do you mean within the sentiment/popularity analysis graph? Or the points and topics within the map?

    Thanks for the kind words, and raising that problem --- I've added it as an issue to fix. Thanks for sharing that article, it was an interesting read. It was cool how deep the analysis went with a few simple statistical methods.

    I think your curl approach would work just as fine if not better. My instinct was to reach for Node.js out of familiarity, but curl is fast and, given the IDs are sequential, something like `parallel curl ::: $(seq 0 $max_id)` would be pret

    Thanks! Yeah if there's enough interested users I'd love to turn this into a live service. Would an email subscription to a set of communities you pick be something you'd be interested in?

    Thanks! Haha yeah I'm trying to get into the habit of writing about and sharing the random projects I do more often. And yeah the cost was surprisingly low (in the hundreds of dollars), so it was pretty accessible as a hobby project.

    Thanks! Yeah sometimes there are one or two "far" away results which make the auto zoom seem strange. It's something I'd like to tune, perhaps zooming to where most but not all results are.

    Hey, thanks for the kind words. I wasn't able to mention the costs in the post (might follow up in the future) but it was in the hundreds of dollars, so was reasonably accessible as a hobby project. The GPUs were surprisingly cheap, an
