A Brazilian friend of mine asked for a pt-br version of wordit so I made it.

I have removed accentuated words to keep it simple.

A few weeks ago I released wordit, a game where starting from a four letter word, you need to come up with as many other words you can, Changi one letter at a time. To make it more competitive I've created a leaderboard. The game starter with scores of 20s, then 100s and finally 1000s. The record right now is more than 6000. After a brief investigate I realize it was a bot. Several bots took a stab at my game. I then just split the leaderboard into humans and bots. I found it funny.

Yes. She left that house to work on a nursery home with the nuns. Then on a supermarket, I think. Then my father knocked her up at the age of 20. Interesting woman.

Yup, my mom and her sisters were all sent off to work on family houses when they were about 10 - 12. They were born in the country side, and my grandpa didn't care for them at all.

`y = x; y = -x` produces a nice effect (axis off)

my arm is a little better, so i've updated the leader board to show top 10 players and top 10 bots

Can paxcodex write a few words on how he got a score of 6472? I'm recovering from surgery and it is hard for me to do anything now, even type.

thank you

that can be done

You're not supposed to type more than one letter. You click the box you want to edit, type the letter you want to change and click check.

don't blame me, I used the biggest dictionary I could find

thanks, the whole thing were prototyped in a day or so. I was thinking about ways to make it more challenging, maybe using 5 letters word, 6... messing with how many edits you get.

I was going under surgery on the day I released this, cause it was my first time going under general anesthesia and i was freaking out. it was a rush against the time to release as is. now that I'm recovering i'll work on it some more.

thanks for the feed back

After the initial prototype, I was playing to see if the game was fun, I realized that from time to time you can get a whole new word by changing one letter. I'm glad you liked it

I've been getting some job offers on LinkedIn, all of them are shady af. Apply using a platform. Apply recording a video of yourself. Apply by resolving a calibration code test (behind a code platform)...

And phone companies are enabling telecoms by manufacturing devices that don't take physical sim cards anymore. I recently migrate from pixel 8 to 10, it only supports eSim. In order to migrate my sim to an eSim I had to provide voice, image, documents and info of the phone I was installing the eSim on. One of the worse companies in Brazil, Vivo, now have everything about me. I bet they keep it in a big excel file accessible via a secret but public link

That's nice. I've always been a fan of this effect. I myself was working on something (way simpler) in the past. I was just getting a pixel splitting into three separate values (r,g,b) and plotting them side by side to emulate LED behavior. I end up creating an image that you can use on your website to give the impression of lines - https://github.com/victorqribeiro/oldTerminal (that was the best I was able to do without using canvas, for the web).

Some day I might try it again using modern css

I was in the US two weeks ago, looked everywhere for 1 module 32 gb ddr4 sodimm, couldn't find it anywhere. But apparently it was pretty expensive as well (from the price tag on the empty shelf in best buy)

I never liked React, but after working with it for several years, I got use to it. Specially JSX. Pretty neat to mix html and js in the same code. That actually inspired me to write tinyJS - https://github.com/victorqribeiro/tinyjs

Later I've a managed state, cause let's agree, it's pretty convenient to have UI updated after a change in the state.

That's very interesting, thanks.

The first time I went to the US I saw a foldable electric bike, in target, I think. Being someone who likes to explore the city (burning calories) I thought to myself: I can cover a way bigger area by bike than by foot. I can carry this with me to my travels and goodbye Uber. Thankfully I called United before buying it to ask If would be able to bring it home with me. The answer was no, of course. No eletric vehicles of any kind on a plane. What a shame.

Should I assume a steam room has the same effect? I prefer it over sauna

My Philips smart tv started to give hints of programmed obsolescence this week, after 4 or 5 years. Besides the fact that I cannot install any real apps other than the ones built in this model (YouTube, Netflix and Prime). How I wish I could hack it and install another os. Honestly I don't think I have the time anymore to investigate this kind of thing. I decided to leave this comment here in hopes of someone pointing me in the right direction, if there's one. For now I'm thinking about getting a TV box and ditching the smart features all together.

One of my hobbies back in college was to write fun js fiddles [1]. It was super fun to have the time and curiosity to investigate something. I've been missing it more and more each passing day. I was super curious about generative art, procedural generation... I guess it is a negative term now, with AIs being able to create such complex stuff as video, audio and God knows what else. I was once working on a memes app where users could submit images. I was knee deep in how to identify duplicate images to keep my meme database "clean", so I was investigating cosine similarities... Few months went by and AI can do that better. Thats how ai feel now: AI can do it better, so why bother?

I gave up on Netflix years ago, never looked back. Went back to my old reliable external HD which I can plug directly to my TV.

See if you can count how many times the video "where do video games come from" appears in my front page.

I'm not popular enough to write a post about everything that is wrong with YouTube, from recommending the same few videos over and over again in different "categories" to ALL the results of a search being cringe shorts no one wants to see.

I spent years doing that post processing on Photoshop, trying to increase realism on my archviz scenes, clients never went for it. They use to prefer the fake, perfect 3D look. Nice project, well done.

Don't know what happened. I stumbled onto a funny coincidence - me talking to a LLM about its similarities with MC - decided to share on a post about using MC to generate text. Got some nasty comments and a lot of down votes. Even though my comment sparked a pretty interesting discussion.

Hate to be that guy, but I remember this place being nicer.

Yes. Yes I was. Thank you for the wake up call. I was under the impression that he was talking only to me.

When you say nobody you mean you, right? You can't possible be answering for every single person in the world.

I was having a discussion about similarities between Markov Chains and LLMs and short after I found this topic on HN, when I wrote "I can share if you like" was as a proof about the coincidence.
