Ooh this is the closest description I've heard to one odd thing I had which was a satisfying feeling associated with two specific thicknesses (one around the thickness of a school copy book, the other around the thickness of a school m

Recently had to install some stuff on a Windows laptop, test it, then ship it out to a customer, and my god the culture shock coming from Mac (and previously Linux and before that Windows)! Randomly selected (and not particularly good at th

Super fun, thanks for sharing! Might be handy to explain the rules up top (can't seem to see them): - Proper nouns allowed - Can reuse letters - Longest word possible might not use all the letters

Yeah, this gets reinvented every once in a while. I think Balaji’s earn.com was doing this for a while back around 2015/16

Hmm I wonder if some kind of beamforming would work? I think that's what the Miele Dialog uses to enable you to cook a fish while it remains in a frozen block of ice https://www.miele.ie/c/revolutionary-excellence-

Your last sentence is simply not true. Helicopters are massive in terms of volume and weight, and incredibly loud. You're also assuming our current layout of everything would stay the same. Imagine if teleportation existed, do you thin

Google have been terrible at copywriting (at least in their hardware line) for as long as I can remember. Here's an example from 2020: https://x.com/TheOisinMoran/status/1312560706965983234 It's a shame

This is great, I remember being sorely disappointed by the hyped up Timo Boll vs Kuka robot 12 years ago. I thought it was going to be a real match and seemed like the robot would destroy him, but ended up just being a marketing stunt and f

Oh delightful, thank you for this! I also maintain a somewhat similar meta-list on my site lynkmi: https://lynkmi.com/oisin/lynkmi%2520adjacent Going to dig into these soon and will post a few!

Ooh this one is fun too! Though it doesn't get quite as hard as the slider one. Breezed through all 47 levels of this pretty easily while there were one or two impossible seeming ones in the slider.

This is fun! I just played once and got 0.0016, which it says is "absurdly below the theoretical limit"... Okay, tried again and got 0.0034 which is still says is beyond the human limit! I'll have to give this to my mum becau

No mention of the Miele Dialog which gets as close as I've seen (though not quite there) to my dream of crispy fried eggs with runny yolk in the microwave. Their big example is being able to cook a fish while it remains in a block of i

I think the way the similarity is done is based on word co-occurrence and the dataset used is news articles. So you can imagine that not a lot of news articles mention castle in that context.

This is super interesting, thanks for sharing! I did a similar thing a few years ago which I'd been meaning to properly finish and share, and your post was the inspiration needed to make mine public (albeit still in a state much too me

To be fair, I initially had the same thought, and the HN item just two below this as I write also has agent (but the LLM kind) in its title.

Just on the redaction point, I did notice one email that looked correctly redacted but when zoomed in you could see some pixels from a few letters had escaped a little. It might be possible to reverse engineer the email just from that.

I had a very similar issue with Chants of Sennaar (another incredible game), where there were exactly 3 words I was missing, I knew what they were, but couldn't find them. I kept going anyway and found one (by a different method than u

An excellent 3 part video from Elyot Grant [0] introduced me to the term "fiero" for this conquering after a struggle, in contrast to a simple "aha/eureka". The difference being one is transmissible, the other is no

Just Connections, Wordle, and Mini for me (in that order), with the occasional Crossword (tend towards a barbell strategy of just doing maybe Mon, Tue, Sun to get the quick hits and a real challenging puzzle). Also experience the odd diffic
