Re:Show HN: Twon – Tweeting Effortlessly on Monday June 19, 2023 @12:38PM (#36393095)
Looks cool! I can see this being useful if you're serious about growing your twitter account and want to brainstorm tweets before sending them out.

Small thing, you have a typo in the page header. Potencial should be spelled Potential.

Hello Hacker News community,

I'm Michael. Over the past few months, my wife and I have been working on a project that we're excited to share with you all. It's a chess game that we've built from the ground up.

A couple of years ago, I developed a keen interest in chess. However, I found that I didn't particularly enjoy playing against other humans. The anxiety was just too much for me. Instead, I found myself gravitating towards playing against chess bots.

This led us to the idea for our game. We wanted to create a chess game where you could play against a bot, but with an added twist. We wanted to incorporate an element of conversation into the game.

The way we've achieved this is by 'injecting' the game state into the conversation prompt. This allows the bot to have a deeper understanding of the current state of the chess game, and it can then comment on it.

We're really excited about this project and we hope you'll enjoy it as much as we've enjoyed creating it. We're looking forward to hearing your feedback and thoughts.

Just released https://www.chesswith.ai today. It's a basic chess app, but it lets you play against hundreds of famous historic/fictional characters.

The in game dialogue is powered by OpenAI's ChatGPT API. This dialogue is always unique and tailored to the events happening on the board, making every game a one-of-a-kind experience.

Re:Deleting an S3 Bucket Costs Money on Tuesday October 19, 2021 @11:43AM (#28919391)
Not only is a problem that deleting a bucket costs money, but if you have a big bucket with many deeply nested files, it can take a really long time to clean it up using the AWS command line.

I ran into this with a bucket full of EMR log files a few years ago and had to figure out some pretty crazy command line hackiness, plus running on a EC2 machine with lots of cores to figure it out. This a write-up I did if anyone else ever runs into this issue.

Yes! Thank you, this has been my #1 objection to using Athena more.

I hope this is just a temporary thing. I love this site!

If it matters, don't take the job
You would have to suffer from multiple personality disorder to pull that off, I'm sure :)
Re:India, U.S. Agree to Joint Exploration of Mars on Thursday October 02, 2014 @11:32AM (#8401117)
Sure, just like probably the biggest reason the US put a man on the Moon is because of the Cold War. Still pretty cool.

By that rationale, any website is a cancer.
Not yet. Give it some time.

Re:Dropbox opening my docs? on Friday September 13, 2013 @07:54AM (#6379842)
Hi Andrew, thanks for the explanation.

Could Dropbox perhaps let me disable this feature? I almost never use the web interface so I wouldn't miss it and I prefer that my documents are not opened after being synched.

I don't think it would be a good idea if wikipedia required that you to run Javascript to navigate the site, and it would make for pretty bad SEO.
Uhm, did you read the post? That is exactly what they say the reason was.
Re:Reddit to go dark on Jan 18 to protest SOPA on Wednesday January 11, 2012 @07:14AM (#3451415)
I wish Reddit would make their planned anti SOPA page available as a template for other sites that wish to show their solidarity and join them on the day.
