I have a really bad prescription (something like -12.5, -13), and I've had multiple pairs of glasses before. Changing from one pair to another gives me a headache. How am I going to use this device?


Would be nice to know what "level" you're on.


I've been really impressed with RealLifeLore: https://youtube.com/@RealLifeLore?si=WQu7xnY1zMr7m8jU

The video on Saudi geography is especially good: https://youtu.be/uz88EurZdrI?si=Zjbm_L30Y8-LpaaJ


As an ideas generator. I often tell it to ask me 20 questions that will help me plan my week or something like that.

As the AI for the card game I'm developing. It knows the rules of the game so I can play test various scenarios really well.

As a travel planner. Queries like "Give me a 5 day itinerary for Luang Prabang, Laos" are a great way to get a broad overview of the main things to see in a new destination.

As a wordsmith. I like to invent fun new terms sometimes. For example: "Invent a word that's kind of like vegan but for people who only eat animals which would plausibly eat humans in nature." Response: "Predatovore".

As an emoji recommender. I don't want to sift through tons of emoji to find the appropriate one, so I just ask ChatGPT.


I have an emoji recommender here: https://github.com/smuzani/openai-samples/blob/main/node_exa...

It's wired into my command line. There's some crude instructions how to wire it into zsh on the README, but honestly, GPT-4 can give better.

Your other uses sound like they're common enough to use on the command line too.


Thanks for this. I'm building a card game that needs an infinite canvas. I'm currently using Miro but there's no easy way to "flip" the cards so they are hidden or make certain decks just visible to their owners.


Just a random thought, but what if companies were required to include an "expected lifespan" label on clothing.


Is this a serious comment? If so, why lotus 1 2 3 over the trillions of other more modern spreadsheet applications?


I think it would be great to have an ebook interface that shuffled the content in a way that mimicked some aspects of HN, Reddit, and maybe even Tinder.


"Nobody should call themselves a professional if they only know one language".

Presumably he means programming language, but this may apply more generally.


Thats very bad take.

Concepts are above languages.


I would respectively beg to differ.

Getting your hands dirty actively engaged in the practice of building software in multiple languages is needed to get good, diverse sets of experience around what works and why.

Reading books or worse, opinions on HN, just isn’t sufficient to claim a robust and well-rounded resume.


Nowadays languages are huge enough to cover various paradigms and countless concepts

That should enough, right?


If I could add a pile on question, how about bar graphs and line graphs?
