Hmm. I tend to have the opposite. With science usually the process of overwriting a credence means increasing understanding and getting a deeper perspective. No one is born knowing anything, and as we advance it’s inevitable to learn certai

Well it was fun as a child to speculate. Definitely don’t think there are ruins from ancient Egyptians on Mars now LOL. But the possibility of signs of microbial life is fascinating from an evolutionary biology perspective.

Loved the movie as a kid, I watched the series also, and am currently rewatching it.

Yeah very cool filming locations. Also the university they filmed the Tollana planet is where they filmed certain scenes from the new Battlestar Galactica.

The 10 year old inside me is so incredibly excited. My actual 10 year old self was obsessed with tombs and ancient Egypt. I remember a whole summer I couldn't stop thinking about and talking about the "Sphinx on the face of Mars&q

Back when I was hiring my team we looked through HN posts quite a bit to reach out. It's a good resource for potential employers. With everyone trying to AI-ify everything these days, makes sense they'd try to do the same with the

Serializing has many uses. - Memory might not look the same on all platforms, if your app is multi-platform you stop being able to share your data cross-platform. - The internal data structures of your app will absolutely change as your app

Bad code as an invasive species is the freshest take I've heard. I have a hard enough time arguing with people that tech debt isn't about bad code, but shifting priorities and requirements. This is going to be a really useful anal

If you enjoyed it and want a code to unlock the mobile app let me know, I have codes for iOS and Android.

Feels like 2026 is the best time for non-US tech companies to grow. What a weird timeline we're in. Excited for our developments up here in Canada too :D

I wish I had learned about this when it was still $60. In Canada I can't find any for less than $300.

Consumer solar has been a game changer, so doing the same for wind would be a huge innovation. But the reasons everyone doesn't already have wind generators on their roof is it's a much harder problem to solve. Not least of which

There are two sides to this with companies automating hiring with AI as well, so the whole interface between employers and job seekers seems to be getting an ever thicker layer of bots talking to bots. I've heard stories of interviewee

Appreciate the feedback, thanks for checking it out. To be clear, LLMs were not used to design this game, just to edit my post talking about creating the board generator. And I do play it every day, today was definitely a tougher one, but t

Thanks for the feedback. The premise of the game is you solve each individual word in order, so greyed out cells are places that aren't the next letter for any of the words right now. As you place the letters those cells open up.

EDIT: I used an LLM as an editor, and clearly that stank. So I just touched up my original draft and updated the page.

by jamwise 3mo ago
Yeah that's fair. I might dust off my draft and re-edit myself, I foolishly thought this would lead to a better post, and I guess am not as attuned to the AI smell as others.

by jamwise 3mo ago
Seems like others feel the same. I guess getting an LLM to help with editing was a bad choice. Thanks for the feedback.

Well it certainly was a wall. That's how I kept describing it to my partner, I was hitting a wall.

by jamwise 3mo ago
Sorry about the turn off ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I tried to put my best foot forward by reading about prose, engaging story telling, and did use an LLM to help me edit and reword parts of the post. Either way, I appreciate the feedback.

Yeah no criticism of the devs here, it's a great project. I meant to point at Apple. Though I'm a customer and like many of their products. I do hate their rigid clearly profit driven walled garden.

Information theory has been a really fascinating topic to get more acquainted with. Not really related to the crossword, but I highly recommend 3Blue1Brown's video "Compression is Intelligence", https://www.youtube

Yeah I understand. But there are plenty of good headphones that work with Android and include most of the features. That's kind of the point of Librepods right? To bring AirPods up to par for non-Apple devices and make them a viable op

If I wasn't certain Apple will do their best to patch every avenue to this working in the future it might be motivation to buy AirPods.

Fair enough. I appreciate the feedback regardless. Thanks for sharing.
