Hi HN!I wanted to share with you a chess analysis tool that I was building for the past week.First of all I want to explain what is the problem that I'm trying to solve: Chess Engines such as stockfish are superior for us humans, but it's not self explanatory. A player can review their game by stockfish and it will tell them that some moves are very bad and losing, but why? This is the problem...

Wow, I wanted to name it vaultd, but I thought vd would be shorter and better as a command in the terminal.
A little bit unlucky naming.

How does it work?
Chatbang works by scraping ChatGPT's website. It opens ChatGPT on a headless session when you execute Chatbang and take your prompt and paste it in ChatGPT's prompt area and execute that prompt, then it waits for the response and copies it as a markdown format and then render it in the terminal.
In the competitive programming community they always use CP as an acronym for competitive programming.

This chorus deserves a Grammy.
That was a very good decision because I think the majority don't understand well what has happened, even inside OpenAI itself, and that's very weird.
Jobs are so influential, Sam has his own kind of charisma and persona, as same as Musk.
"Programming: Principles and Practice Using C++" by Bjarne Stroustrup, the creator of C++.
I learned programming first time from this book and I think I'm so lucky that I've done it. The book is about philosophy and the mindset of programming more than introducing some tools or techniques, so we can consider it as "timeless".
Isn't that saying that we are not that important in the universe? I mean we should change our behaviour as humanity to expand in the cosmos, instead of focusing on silly wars because of silly reasons.
I thought about the same thing, I've seen a lot of apps that have similar ideas like "ChatGPT chatbot for your data or your website", I don't know how will they deal with it.
Yeah actually I'm living among a not-good group of people, and that's a problem with the place, city, and culture.
But I'm still waiting to graduate to start figuring out what is a "better place" at least for me.
But I think reaching a "better place" is the result of the contribution of many people, and everyone should contribute with anything he/she can.
For me I can contribute by solving some problems with software, and I think there are plenty of problems that we can solve with software, we just have to make getting money a second priority after making something really useful, and money will come after.
At least the environment is better in many countries? Because I have some stupid policies here like "you can't spend more than X dollars buying anything from outside, including any subscriptions" and many similar constraints to do anything, compared to many countries we have a terrible environment to think about changing the world, I think the best 2 options for me is to leave, or to change the country itself, but the second is way harder because I will literally compete against an army.
As someone from Egypt, my goal when I was young was to change the world to a better place, but as I was growing up I realized that the country that I'm living in doesn't care about all of this, and the people that I'm living with also don't care about "making the world a better place", at least 90% of people focus more on social media trends, they are too lazy to make some effort, they are also not aware enough with the big problems around them.
So I'm 22 now and I decided to focus on leaving the country after graduating, will I have the same motivation/drive to change the world after leaving? or will I be too tired to try?
This article was written in 2007:
"Why to Not Not Start a Startup"
http://www.paulgraham.com/notnot.htmlIt says in 7.No Idea:
> We're going to let people apply with no idea at all. If you want, you can answer the question on the application form that asks what you're going to do with "We have no idea." If you seem really good we'll accept you anyway. We're confident we can sit down with you and cook up some promising project.
And we all know this is never gonna happen these days.
So I think the claims of this article are not valid in 2023 right? Or at least most of it, especially something like "If you don't have an idea just apply and we will give you one!”.
The article says that "tech will be like banking, so the opportunities won't be as crazy as these days", but I don't know if this is true or not, even the reality tells the opposite though.
I think I don't have to "follow" or support anyone, or is that become a must in this new digital world? Like, if you don't follow anyone the system will ignore you or something, I don't know.
