- jdpigeon 3mo agoYea, interesting how this outs the README as AI Generated. I don't think any human would ever write a sentence like this without first explaining THE FREAKING CONTROLLER IS MOVING BY VIBRATING Proximity Creep Mode: Automatically cuts haptic pulse frequency by 50% when the controller is within 150 pixels of the puck to ensure a gentle magnetic dock.
- hombre_fatal 3mo agoBut the intro paragraph does explain the project. The person you responded to just points out how useful it is to see it in action.
- clayhacks 3mo agoNo? It says “pilots the controller” which is fairly vague of the cause and effects going on. I think a real human would clarify the controller motors being used to physically move the controller.
- serf 3mo agoyes? it says it uses the haptic motors like within 2 or 3 sentences, it says it 'slams the controller into the puck until it charges', it says it uses an overhead camera, and it even says that it navigates the controller to the puck using the motors and camera further down if you don't feel like taking the 3 seconds to connect the dots. a video would've been nice, but I would've communicated this the same way and i'm not an llm, even if this thing may have been written by one, nor did I have any problem understanding the intent - not a brag, it just doesn't seem that strange to me.
- Gigachad 3mo agoIt doesn’t say haptic motor anywhere. The only reference to how it moves in the whole thing is “internal dual Linear Resonant Actuators” which seems intentionally obtuse and even that is buried in the depths surrounded by a ton of unimportant detail.
- jorvi 3mo agoAny human would have taglined this "vibrate to magnetic charging puck with computer vision". It just feels horribly low effort. Respect your fellow man.
- ssl-3 3mo agoThey put some code together and published it for all to use, with an MIT license, that lets a game controller wiggle itself over to a charging puck using computer vision. That's pretty neat. If you want the documentation to be written to a standard that is more to your liking, then you're free to submit a PR or fork it -- or do just about anything else you want with it (including ignoring its existence). Respect your fellow man.
- stevage 3mo agoThese are the weirdest criticisms. It seems totally normal to me for engineers to be bad at explaining their project to a lay audience. Whereas that's the kind of thing that LLMs are great at.
- fhd2 3mo agoAGENTS.md is fun too, solid AI bro stuff: > Code like Anthony Fu and Evan You > default to the highest quality modern code the legends would ship What a time to be alive.
- rootsudo 3mo agoCode like the masters FU, You.
- bee_rider 3mo agoWow, that was better than I expected. I expected some janky “technically it is moving in the right general direction” thing but it scurries right along.
- dmix 3mo agoThat's hilarious
