The core of my response was not about appealing vs understanding, but about the objective function being to max(number) with whatever operator (appeal or understand) But you demonstrated that in a beautiful way with your misunderstanding! H

You're making a huge assumption yourself - that the goal of communication is to appeal to the greatest number of readers. This is not always true and often deliberately not always true.

This is me too, it’s a great source of news for areas of science that I’m not an expert in but am curious about.

Thank you! This is my first project where I integrated many things together, and it went through a few iterations (I replaced the lights twice) I think the key was: patience There were many times where I didn’t have the right connections, o

It sits on my desk right next to where I work every day, and it looks kinda sci-fi, I was motivated by Star Trek a lot when I was very young, and having some futuristic bit of tech beside me while I work (that I created) reminds me that we

Thank you! Originally, before I knew which plants I would use, I was going to use ML models to measure the surface area of the plants, and in earlier versions (before the camera) I had rotating, high polygon 3D models. So I threw a bit more

When I was a teenager at high school I used to compare everyone else to myself a lot (I think everyone does since it’s part of building your identity) I remember thinking “ok there’s a future doctor, and there’s a great manager of some sort

Good for you for plowing ahead and “just getting it done” and launching! This is the hacker spirit that hacker news was originally built on, and it’s joyous to see it still alive p.s. the game looks great I have purchased a copy!

This is such a cool idea. When I was about 7-8 years old I used to get the "Tell me why" books, which were books that had 5-ish pages on all sorts of different topics. https://archive.org/details/heresmoretell
