Really just the grammatical correctness in the generated text (pronouns and possessives). Early versions produced awkward sentences when the model guessed incorrectly. It is a good point I didn't think about regarding making it optional to input.

Hi HN,I built TinySolvers (https://tinysolvers.com) as a side project to make math more engaging for kids.There are plenty of generic math worksheets online, but I wanted something more personal to help connect the math to the student. TinySolvers generates customized math word problems using a child’s name, favorite nouns (dinosaurs, pizza, unicorns), verbs (jumping, exploring), and a selected...

I wanted a quick and painless way to update personal metrics into a Grafana visualization that was adaptable to adding different types of metrics. Including units, a reset daily option, and type classification. There is a TUI and a webapp to be able to add/modify metrics.

I am not in the software industry, I am a biosystems engineer student. But, I love math, programming, and all other types of engineering and that's what I write about. I need to write more but struggle to find time.

He is accountable to people. Those people just happen to be shareholders. And if the stock price continues to increase then what's the incentive for shareholders to ask for more accountability. All the bad news and publicity without the de-investing means that it is ultimately good news (from a shareholder perspective), thus no financial action.

Hi HN! Long time lurker but seeking advice. I made a personal website this year writing about topics I love. Unfortunately, my direct peer group is not that involved in the same interests as me, and I've found it difficult to share the stuff I create with the right audience. Without using the social media gimmicks, how do I find that audience?

Here is my first post I wrote back in Jan '21. I hope someone enjoys it! Always looking for feedback.

I'm very glad I stumbled upon this today. Also as a fellow avid tea drinker, I have also applied an absurd amount of home engineering to serve my tea drinking needs. Specifically on the steep time for loose leaf tea.

I am by no means a very good blogger and have really just started being a socially active engineer. Hope someone enjoys it!
