- wvbdmp 1y agoNot to alarm anyone, but when I ran this, the black ball eventually joined the dark side and the whole thing ended up black. I’m sure this doesn’t mean anything for the greater universe.
- bilbo-b-baggins 1y agoMetaphor for American politics.
- soneca 1y agoThis happened to me in the original site. I think it happens when the white and black balls collide at the exact same spot of the border.
- francisduvivier 1y agoI think it's just a tunneling bug that happens when the point that make up the wall get messed up a enough. Almost never happens anymore in the v2[1] that I added. This one also allows you to see these points. [1] https://francisduvivier.github.io/eternal-struggle-with-speed-control/v2.html https://francisduvivier.github.io/eternal-struggle-with-spee...
- anthk 1y agoDeclare it as a Quantum tunneling effect :p
- temp0826 1y agoA little matter-antimatter asymmetry never hurt anyone
- gedy 1y ago"I am.. Tetsuo."
- raspasov 1y agoThe opposite can also happen (where the whole thing goes white).
- nialv7 1y agoblack-white here doesn't mean bad-good. they just mean opposites, different aspects of things. I think wikipedia does a pretty good job explaining it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yin_and_yang https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yin_and_yang
- kragen 1y agohttps://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E9%99%B0#Traditional_Chinese https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E9%99%B0#Traditional_Chinese (陰) lists the following definitions: 1. cloudy; overcast; gloomy 2. hidden; secret 3. negative [of electrical charge] 4. the Moon 5. shade; shadow 6. north of a mountain or south of a river 7. back side 8. of the nether world; of ghosts 9. (philosophy) "female" principle; yin in yin-yang 10. in intaglio 11. treacherous; deceitful; cheating 12. (dialectal) to deceive; to trick; to trap 13. (Chinese phonetics, of a syllable) open; not having a consonant coda 14. (Cantonese) bangs; fringe 15. genitalia (of humans) 16. a surname The one (American) person I know who has 陰 as a surname reports that Chinese people are often shocked at her surname upon meeting her. I think it might be a bit like having the surname Death in English (https://www.ancestry.com/last-name-meaning/death?geo-lang=en-US https://www.ancestry.com/last-name-meaning/death?geo-lang=en...). That is to say, black kind of does mean "bad" here, in the popular conception anyway. Taoism and Buddhism promote a worldview that sees birth and death, creation and destruction, as neither good nor bad, simply inseparable parts of a larger whole. But most everyday people try to avoid darkness, death, destruction, cloudiness, gloominess, shadows, ghosts, treachery, traps, and so on, most of the time. It's more that Taoism teaches that this attempt is foolish. Not all the senses are unpopular; plenty of people like human genitalia, the Moon, and intaglio, and the shady side of a river can be nicer when it's hot out.
- camillomiller 1y agoHad the same experience and derived an absolutely unexpected bout of deep existential anxiety from it. Going to touch grass now.
- d4rkn0d3z 1y agoTunneling.
- low_tech_punk 1y agomaxwell's demon peeking from the dark side
- rnotaro 1y agoThis vibed coded implementation is buggy. If you go to 64.00×, it can't slow back anymore.
- ks2048 1y agoYes, going to 32x also won't let you back down to 1x. (16x and lower - yes).
- deleted 1y ago[deleted]
- francisduvivier 1y agoWell that's fixed in the V2 with even more vibe coding: https://francisduvivier.github.io/eternal-struggle-with-speed-control/v2.html https://francisduvivier.github.io/eternal-struggle-with-spee...
- ks2048 1y agoWatching it at 100x is cool - you can just watch the border wiggle around (at this speed you may as well not even draw the balls).
- patates 1y agoI think next level would be custom shapes, custom starting areas, more colors, ability to change physics (add gravity?), and user interacting (being able to help a fellow struggling entity -a ball in this case-, when it gets worse). Someone put this into an AI super duper thinking max edition, sprinkle some MCP on top and see what happens lol
- nandomrumber 1y agoRapidly converging on Conways Game of Life
- rottc0dd 1y agoNice work. Still buggy. If you increase the ball size and increase the speed, the whole thing goes black/white in 10 seconds.
- deleted 1y ago[deleted]
- maxlin 1y agoThanks :D I did really want to know what kind of shape it would tend towards over time. Running 100x for some moments, the white part got pincer maneuvered by the black and I ended up with the whole circle becoming black. Don't know what to think of that lol
- narrator 1y agoIt looks like it converges to a normal distribution curve with white being the area under the curve.
- loandbehold 1y agoWhy not other way around?
- brcmthrowaway 1y agoAt fast speed I see a trail of the circles. What gives?
- patates 1y agosomething about monitor refresh rate perhaps? https://www.testufo.com https://www.testufo.com
- Hendrikto 1y ago> vibe forked a speed control slider Very on brand, it does not work correctly. I can turn the speed up but not back down again.
- francisduvivier 1y agoYes true :D, I kind of just want to blame gpt-5 mini for it and that's one of the bad things about the bad coding, I immediately loose part of the sense of ownership and responsibility. I don't feel like I made it, I just managed it. Now to be honest I saw this bug, but I decided to just release it anyways because I also already had the v2 in the works which incidentally already had this issue fixed.
- rhubarbtree 1y agoInteresting data point on the vibe coding front, as this is very buggy. Doesn’t bode well for releasing an agent on a non-trivial problem!
- pmontra 1y agoOf course we want to make a ball faster than the other one and let it win the struggle.
- kelnos 1y agoFeature request: show a "scoreboard", that is, with every collision, show the percent of the circle that's white, and percent that's black.
