Author of this silly project here!

Sharing a bit of backstory on why I decided to work on this; Firstly, “for fun” but primarily because I felt like I started losing the childlike wonder/whimsy I once had with programming.

So I started this new hobby where I ask myself “can I hack on this?” upon getting/seeing something.

For instance, I got this new Aula F75 keyboard (really good keyboard for the price btw, it sounds good too!) and it only has dedicated control software for Windows. So I downloaded the driver files, software executable, and manual sheet and reverse engineered the full protocol/packets and rebuilt it for my Mac. Then played snake with the backlights. Fun.

Anywho, happy to see my blog on the front page. Would love to hear if anyones going through something similar or working on silly little projects! :)

It’s funny until one guy spills his bag of M&M’s and accidentally deletes the production database.

What color is your function?

This is what HN is all about

It's all fun and games until some fat bastard like me decides he wants a snack. Incidentally, which flavor? Asking for a friend.

it actually sounds like a fun idea, but i have one question. do you think a lightweight CNN trained on synthetic candy layouts would outperform the deterministic decoder for messy real world photos?

this is so cool!

This is AI slop but mildly amusing. Brainfuck did it first.

Am I allowed to use the term psychopath in the most loving, even inspired, way?
