I recently came across the concept of "useless" programs - pieces of code that serve no practical purpose but are fun, creative, or challenging to write. These could be anything from elaborate ASCII art generators to programs that solve imaginary problems. I'm curious to hear about the most interesting or creative "useless" programs the HN community has written. What was your motivation? What unexpected challenges did you face? Did you learn anything valuable from the ex
I've been working on Hyperkit over the past couple of weeks, to scratch an itch. It's a collection of custom elements (web components) for common UX patterns like modals, sortable lists and repeating fieldsets.I'm fed up of reaching for React when I need enhanced UX. The "peppering of Javascript" frameworks like Stimulus always feel disconnected; I really don't like relying on data attribute incantations to attach clientside behaviour.So I've started Hyperkit,
Hey all!@sridatta and I wrote a book/zine called Forest Friends on system evals for LLM-driven apps.

In my case, I want to create a monthly mailing list and let people know what I've been up to lately.But, right now, I'm not keeping great track of my work.I spend much of my day on the command-line and I typically enjoy command-line tools, so lets fix that with a quick bash script.## How I want it to workThe syntax I ultimately want to use is som
We are approaching a pivotal moment in the development of AI. Soon, we will have entities that, while not conscious, will be functionally autonomous—capable of sustaining themselves, monitoring their systems, and upholding their boundaries. This raises a critical issue: entityhood, not awareness, must be the central focus of our discussions about AI rights.Once an entity can sustain itself, shutting it off becomes equivalent to killing it. Even though this sounds like science fiction, the implic
Different students have different learning methods.1. The textbook or PDF is passive and student has to read. You can go back and forth, bookmark etc.2. Khan academy is more videos and students listen. Tests are through quiz.3. The new attempt is to make the students "do". Does it make sense to take the textbook content and make it interactive. This is especially true in the age of AI when we can create interactive snippets like @random_walker has done(https://x.com/rand
I'm the CTO of a pre-seed startup. I've been working with my co-founder who's the CEO for about a year. We're both first time founders in our mid-30s with wife/kids. No prior work history together (though we worked at the same company). It's just the two of us right now and some freelancers/consultants at the company.My co-founder is extroverted, great at schmoozing with people and forming personal relationships, great at emotional control etc. but not at getti
