I asked ChatGPT (after posting my comment) and this is the response. "Uncle + Aunt = Great-Uncle is incorrect. A great-uncle is the brother of your grandparent."
Re:Show HN: Semantic Calculator (King-Man+woman=?) on Wednesday May 14, 2025 @05:51PM (#43989584)
uncle + aunt = great-uncle (91%)

great idea, but I find the results unamusing

Show HN: I built a personal MCP server

https://mcp-server.matallo.workers.dev

MCP is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs. [1] I built a personal MCP server that enables LLMs to perform actions through tools like `get_bio` or `get_work_history`. Connect to this remote MCP server from popular MCP clients including Claude Desktop. [2][1] https://www.anthropic.com/news/model-context-protocol[2]...

I immediately recognized the title of the HN post, and it always makes my day when I see GFW in the wild.

Thanks so much for your comment, as someone whose name appears in the list of contributors [0] and was in the presentation of the project when it first launched 8 years ago I feel very grateful being part of it and couldn't have expressed the work better.

Taking a look at the source code I can't tell if the author used a generator but it doesn't look like it.

I've worked in growth teams with a lot of SEO related work and I disagree too. Another thing is leveraging one of those engines to publish your content sooner, then iterate and build your own content management system.

I can't agree more with this comment, for anybody using Jekyll, it's worth noting it is the templating language it uses, and my experience pretty much resembles this.

Re:A Cartography Nerd's Guide to Custom Map-Making on Saturday April 28, 2018 @08:18AM (#16947307)
> Next up was the laborious process of determining which bus lines one could actually take to each tennis court. My approach was 100% analog, starting from the top of the alphabetical list of tennis courts (Alamo Square) and marching straight through to the end (Youngblood Coleman), noting all of the bus lines that had a stop within reasonable walking distance to a court.

As a cartography nerd myself I was surprised just one comment suggested using GIS and geospatial analysis to match bus lines to tennis courts. Actually this very analysis could be made via services that provide a visual interface such as Mapbox or CARTO.

I recommend watching this documentary where Roger Tomlinson ("father of GIS") is highlighted https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VLGvWEuZxI

For those interested in learning to create maps on the web and visualize geospatial data CARTO also has a free MOOC site https://carto.com/academy/

Disclosure: I used to work at CARTO

idea: using this as "send to kindle" generating pdfs from urls you stumble upon, and seamlessly sending them to the *@kindle.com email address to consume in the device

I don't know if there's an easier way or service these days
