The font, the colors, and the design is so similar to what an LLM will choose.

This is most likely done by claude as per the aesthetics. Every AI has its own aesthetics as well.

It was fun. xD

The coverage area it promises is up to 5 acres. But with only five minutes of flight time and 30 minutes for every recharge, I don't know how long will it take it to actually do the work it promises.

The solution is definitely cool though. I could pay another small drone to track the movement of tornyol's drone and show me how it tracks and kills the mosquitoes.

Thanks for creating it. I love maths, and this was very pleasing to play. Have you published any other projects similar to this one? I mean, the ones that would be relevant for non-schoolers as well?

Relationships are of various kinds that extend in various dimensions. What the Author has talked about definitely sounds more like a "work-friend" relationship, but is not entirely separate from a "friend-friend" that you define.

It’s deeply believing that a rising tide lifts all boats.

This is true, but with context. "Growth" and "Comfort" are two different elements of a good friendship. We can replace "rising" with "happy", and the same quote works for comfort.

Are both necessary? Depends on how you define "friendship". If comfort is the only thing, you dog can be a comfortable companion. But for a human friendship to last longer, both must enjoy each other company for longer time horizon, and that needs growth in both. This growth needs not be only in career, but mental too.

With such growth, envy can't come in and corrode the bond.

In the army, competitions are not as much of an issue because the goal is not to make more money or mere promotion, but to serve the country. "Dying in the act of war" is not frowned upon but celebrated as a badge.

Opposite to contrary belief, higher rank individuals (except the topmost levels) are at the front line leading the pack. Army personnel have families, but they kill others who also have families — this is not normal for most people. They get desensitised after practice and war in difficult terrains.

I was told by an army lad, his father had instructions to always move forward. If you turn, your own men can shoot you, mistaking you for an enemy.

Why don't devs use React Native like tech stack that allows development across platforms at the same time, especially for simple apps like this when they probably don't have to use all native capabilities different platforms provide.

You are telling me that my cosmic clock is not usable?

PS. I made it for myself just for fun. Haven't checked issues such as time for other countries. Just checked, time still stays local (Indian) for me even if I use VPN to change my location. I am using p5 and JS for the two times.

Loved this.

Love to build. Build to love.

Reminded me of Wordle and a few more projects like https://www.robinsloan.com/notes/home-cooked-app/

It's always wonderful to see projects we build for love. Haha. Cheers OP.

He owns xAI and runs grok.

Reminded me of MIT's game "A Slower Speed of Light"

Thanks a lot.

BTW if I may clarify, by thought leader, I mean people who are leaders or popular figures in a particular industry, whose voices matter and shapes up that domain.

Think of Sam Altman for AI, Marc Andreessen for VC, Andrew Huberman for Mental Health, and figures like Jordan Peterson, Elon Musk, Naval Ravikant, etc.

Makes sense. What other platforms do you know where we can get access to the network of entrepreneurs, thought-leaders, governments, and authors? I am considering text-based social apps only.

That's alright. BTW, paulg is the founder of YCombinator.

Thanks for clarifying.

I mentioned some global accounts that are very generic, but I do follow some folks from my country (India) who share valuable content for my field of work.

Such content doesn't seem possible on other platforms. FB is dead here. Insta is only images/videos. Threads is a no-no. I don't know any alternatives as of yet where my network is active.

“Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster... for when you gaze long into the abyss. The abyss gazes also into you.” ― Friedrich W. Nietzsche

Elon's proclamation that he is fighting "them" (deep state/democrats/...) has turned around and he is the same now. He is the USAID-ish funding for his cause. The cause could be different but the tools are the same, albeit in different names.

Some free speech is more free than some free speech. /s

Which platform provides the same network effect? Bsky? Mastodon?

I don't see the popular Twitter personalities there such as naval, balajis, paulg, etc. or folks from TOPT, etc.

Twitter is valuable only because of its network effect. Not everyone is going to try both of the apps. Thus, they will lag in both places.

There can be only one winner I presume.

"Free speech" on a centralized platform always seems fishy. One can't expect it from Elon at least. He always has extreme/polar thoughts on various subjects.

How does one close a physical book into an ebook? Is it simple scanning? That won't allow selection, copying, or highlighting as easily.

It's rather pushing me away from kindle books because of they will be restricted. I am more likely to get ebooks from other sources and read them in my kindle.

They wish to increase sale of Kindles, but will end up decreasing sale of Kindle ebooks.

Same. The blog says, "Download & Transfer via USB" option will no longer be available, but "You can continue to sideload e-books on your Kindle via USB cable".

What is the difference? How is sideloading different from normal USB Transfer?

Thanks for sharing. I was not aware. I am new to Hacker News. Why is that post flagged?

You are outsourcing thinking. If the AI is biased in any way, you might be given purposeful misinterpretations changing your feed and thus your thoughts.

Sabine Hossenfelder: We now live in the grip of post-factualism would seem naturally repellent to most physicists. But in championing theory without demanding empirical evidence, we're guilty of ignoring the facts ourselves.

100%. I code like OP and find it much easy to understand. The latter could be well structured but a novice coder like me needs comments to understand it.

A name defines a company. It has to be something primal—something that you can scream out during interc*urse, like Aviato.
