Next time please ask it to respect system dark/light mode preference, it's trivial to do, especially for an LLM which can spin up light/dark alternatives easily.

no considering free windows being light theme only, it should be a button, not a "system default"

That's fine, too. Either way, give the user the choice.

As far as I can tell, the first combat level enemies all start with "ALERT-" and have exactly 3 digits.

sorry, second combat level. It's all 6 digit hex color strings, some good some bad.

Ah, I see. Yeah, that one definitely took me multiple attempts to see what it wanted.

I believe that the "enemies":

1. Must start with "#"

2. Must be exactly 6 hex digits

3. Must be lowercase

There should be a button too, but it's simple to add a line so that it also defaults to any provided preference.

A little bit early to tell. Let’s wait how affordable, available and good AI is when the companies turn to profit maximization and enshittification begins

You can go local now with qwen 3.5 9B Q4 powering hermes agent at 35 to 50 tok/s with 99 percent tool call success rate on a used RTX 3060 for the price of two months of ChatGPT Pro and never bother. https://xcancel.com/sudoingX/status/2033020823846674546#m This is the worst local AI will ever be. It only gets better from here. https://xcancel.com/sudoingX/status/2033959603944493192#m

Nope, if nobody trains the models on new data you have at some point an outdated model.

Imagine Qwen 3.5 created in the 1990s and then use it for today web or desktop development.

And is the problem solved that training AI with AI code makes the AI worse? If not the "it only gets better" claim is questionable.

There are, just not lowercase characters that are valid hex.

Haha, this is nice. I'm bad at regex most of the time. Playing this felt like when I first switched from Visual Studio to Vim. it’s a bit of a learning curve. It’s an interactive game btw
