My thoughts are so loud, I can't hear my mouth.

@PhilipPanass I do see the ordering data being sent.. right before/after the image is being pulled. Anyway, the LLMs can even read the minified javascript from the site and figure out how it is being done. They are good at reverse engineering.

@PhilipPanass Maybe when I find time I will try to upload to https://t.co/HvBHqNlkQZ.

[Sreeram Kandimalla @RamSeraph]

@PhilipPanass Lol.. this is new.. and very much scrapable.. I would suggest asking an LLM to write the scripts for you.. they supply the image scrambled.. and then they pull the data needed to rearrange the image in the next network request. So, no need to screenshot, but script still needed.

@thede_plandude I have been talking to people about this for a while now.. given where the tech is at.. this should be doable. I am glad to see that you are thinking about it too. Good luck man.

[Sreeram Kandimalla @RamSeraph]

@ponnappa Mine just a made a copy of the code it needed to test in the test.. this was sneaked past me while I was paying attention. I don't know how people are running multiple agents.. maybe it is a skill issue.

@pranesh @sunil_abraham Showing a map on the https://t.co/XYlGwUHUlI website is not the same as making it available to everyone.

[Sreeram Kandimalla @RamSeraph]

@pranesh @sunil_abraham OSM India is not supplying a basemap for free as the OSMF has been doing with borders which are problematic to use. So.. no it is not easy to use OSM with Indian government provided borders, currently. Btw, there is no registered OSM India organization.

Public Good Alert 🚨

If you’ve ever spent hours merging messy admin datasets reconciling districts/subdistricts splits,merges, or renaming, well, no more!

we(I,@harikv73,@asad__tariq) have built adminlineage, a Py package that uses AI to solve this #AI https://t.co/NtyEvu1OAF

@pranesh @thedivtagguy I am curious( for no reason whatsoever :) ).. I do see terms and conditions at https://t.co/5RyyUYj3U9 it says reproducible right? This was not on the https://t.co/vqpMg2Pig4 page though. There it says rights reserved. Definitely not public domain but reproducible?

@championswimmer @Resorcinolworks Whoever sets it up is going to risk getting arrested and there are other problems related to lack of institutions, but this map tops the list.

[Sreeram Kandimalla @RamSeraph]

@championswimmer @Resorcinolworks Ok.. fair. Just got triggered because it is a major roadblock for the existence of OSM India as a registered organisation and people normalising this is not helping.

[Sreeram Kandimalla @RamSeraph]

@championswimmer @Resorcinolworks Yes.. if ever there was a company best placed to know which ip belongs to which country it's cloudflare. And why are they showing that map in India.. knowing that it is illegal

[Sreeram Kandimalla @RamSeraph]

@championswimmer @Resorcinolworks I am aware that protomaps folks are working at fixing things.. but still it is basically a result of lack of push back and us not being a lucrative market yet.

[Sreeram Kandimalla @RamSeraph]

@championswimmer @Resorcinolworks I would suggest opening that map and checking how they show Crimea and stop gaslighting people for the OSM ecosystem's inability to handle multiple country perspectives. I wouldn't call it an international map.. it is an European map.. thought this particular provider is not.

[Sreeram Kandimalla @RamSeraph]

@saidbyarshad Regarding dependencies.. mostly have been coding in python and I only have one instruction in my agents/.md. which is.. use 'uv run --with deps' for python.

[Sreeram Kandimalla @RamSeraph]

Recently took over from the agent for a complicated piece.. made so many mistakes, so much for nostalgia of perfect code. It is not that I wouldn't make mistakes before, but the review to find the mistakes was manageable. The speed at which agents write now makes this part hard.

[Erik Meijer @headinthebox]

It seems that with the advent of AI coding people have completely forgotten that human authored code suffered badly from quality degradation. That is why we coined the term "technical debt" and why companies like Meta incentivized "Better Engineering" as part of their performance review cycle.

But suddenly, just like # of times of sex per week, IQ, ...., many humans now believe their code quality is higher than average. Sorry to disturb your dreams folks, but your code sucks louder than a jet-engine.

The real opportunity here is to play the movie below in reverse. You *have* an unhealthy codebase but you use agents as some kind of white blood cells to continuously fight the disease and clean shit up.

This is so fucking obvious, I keep wondering if I live in some alternate universe full of midwits and I am the only reasonable person around.

[Sreeram Kandimalla @RamSeraph]

@saidbyarshad If it is a library I am writing I would pay more attention, again depends on whether I am expecting collaboration.

Haven't done anything mission critical recently.. I don't see myself letting go in those scenarios. /3

[Sreeram Kandimalla @RamSeraph]

In general.. finally a library for what has been problem for a long time.

[Sreeram Kandimalla @RamSeraph]

Web map rendering software can benefit from this. I think.
