I'm sure I'm not the only one who's noticed, but nearly every post on Hacker News is getting LLM comments now. For anyone who works regularly with LLMs, it's very obvious from the tone alone - and a quick check to…

The overall idea is to chart out the thousands of Mini PCs by benchmark and reveal the Pareto Front so you can get the most Compute per Dollar. Definitely a labor of love as I have a number of Mini PCs for my "homelab"…

Hey HN! About a month ago I launched https://words.zip - a little (infinite) word search game - it's been very slowly growing, but now has over 300,000 words found! Lots of cool things people are doing, using it as a…

Hi HN! This is a word search game I launched in the beginning of this year - didn't get much traction then, but it's been posted around a bit (right now getting some traffic from kottke.org) and now has over 12,000…

Sorry for the typical, unoriginal advice thread. BACKSTORY: 25 years old. Not married. I've spent the last 3 years working at a FAANG company - more or less right out of college. For the first 2.5 years I lived at home…

I (a 25 year old software developer) am constantly working on side projects. Most of them ideas for applications - but even other, more creative pursuits. However, unless the project is something that can be completed…

I'm a sophomore currently majoring in IT, and I have absolutely no idea what I want to do. I switch between wanting to focus on security, to mobile development to system administration to game development. It seems like…
