I like this but the trends and comparisons would much easier to see/do if the data were presented as a chart.

I've been to the Altamira cave reproduction and I was skeptical at first on whether I'd feel immersed but they've done an incredible job of it. You quickly forget it's "fake" and sink back into time... It's marvellous.
It makes me wonder how much palaeolithic art has been lost because it wasn't done inside a cave.

On a similar note, for this August's total solar eclipse (in Europe), I 3D modelled the sun's position in the sky from the viewpoint that I am planning to go to. The eclipse will happen late in the day when the sun will be low, so I wanted to make sure that nothing will obstruct my view!
I've been meaning to post about it.

And you can take a look at my blog repo to see how I've used it with Jekyll:

Back in 2022, my little virtual bookshelf made the rounds on HN [0]. Since then, quite a few people have implemented it into their own sites.
Well, 4 years later I decided to push a small update [1]. Ladies and gentlemen, we now have slanted books. The future is now.

This is fantastic, great work. I will attempt to run it on my 16GB M1 but I doubt it'll run.
Out of curiosity, how did you go about replacing the CUDA specific ops? Any resources you relied on or just experience? Would love to learn more.

I recently built Cranki [0], a free little PWA that generates crosswords using your Anki flashcard lists. It's aimed at language learners (who find flashcards boring and crossword fun!).
To be honest I built it just for me and then decided it might be useful for others.
It's all local, no server, no database, etc. Mobile and desktop friendly.

I did build it with the help of AI, but no AI inside the actual thing.

Thanks for the feedback!
Yeah, it's more of a flashcard-crossword rather than a real crossword. I will have a think about how I can make the clues more interesting. I wanted to make this simple to use (and free) so adding an LLM in there might complicate things.
Thanks for trying it!

I like this but after 3-4 messages I got the AI to agree that my flight should be refunded yet the confidence was not zero. The tips just said to keep explaining why the particular law applies in my situation but I already kinda did that.
