People have done experiments like this before.

Minecraft isn't a intelligence problem. An LLM is more than smart enough to play Minecraft. It's a robotic problem. Even a normal human player can click several times per second, can press two different buttons at the same time, etc. Mineflayer gives you an API that is more limited than a human in some ways (can't see far away from you) and less limited in others (can see through blocks) (if I remember correctly, I could be thinking of Baritone or a different project). Robotics or playing a video game requires a tight continuous feedback loop. When there's 500ms of latency in order to ask the model for every mouse movement, it's no wonder fighting a spider is scary.

Fun fact, Mineflayer, the Minecraft bot interaction API used by YCombinator for these tests, was originally developed by Andrew Kelley (before he started Zig).

I was shocked at the popup blocker bypass, then the UXSS. Really impressive endurance to take this all the way to ACE.

Then someone with Show Dead turned on will vouch for them. When I see comments from shadow banned users, I’ll open their profile and 99% of the time it’s slurs.

The raised their seed and series B, some $20 million, before Arc was publicly available. "gall" is a good word.

Very cool. I’ve been on Gemma 4 12B because of my limited RAM. There’s already an Unsloth quantization of this model so I’m downloading that and will check its performance in the morning. Someone else in this thread recommended Ternary-Bonsai-27B, which I’ll also try.

Just also wanted to note that this model has a questionably-enforceable non-commercial use clause in its license. I really wish they had consulted with an IP lawyer, it’s very confusing.

For me the distinguishing feature of OpenCode is the web ui/desktop app. I’m using OpenCode because it’s the only open-source agent-harness I’ve tried that runs outside of a TUI. I like terminals but not TUIs and especially not for prose-based interactions like prompting.

But that’s a shallow moat, and the rest of the features here are not particularly interesting to me. I don’t have a use for plugins or a model-server proxy (I can connect other tools directly to the model provider).

If these jobs are fully remote, why are tech companies going through the process of getting visas to import workers? Am I missing something?

This happened to me as well—thankfully not my personal account that I use for work, but the organization associated with an open source project I worked on was suspended. It similarly took 2 months for GitHub to restore the organization.

Fully self-hosted IMO can be an overcorrection. The issue isn’t “relying on other people”—it’s relying on GitHub, when they’ve made it clear they don’t care about uptime and they don’t care about support turn-around-time.
