ChatGPT counts outloud to 140 – beat our record
I watch ChatGPT fail to count to 1 million with pretty wild excuses and the user wasn't able to prompt around it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djZVWc1PkIo. My friend and I tried a couple of variations to get it started counting to 1 million, all failed. So we settled for trying to see whats the maximum number we can reach. Methods we tried: - Framing it as an experiment, on beating a benchmark against other llms or its previous runs, encouragement after small successes - Foot in the door - ask to 10, 20, 30, 50, etc - kind of successful, record 110 And the winner: - Simply…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch

Followup failed miserably. Have not tried counting to more, ran into daily limit : D Anyone who has tried this how high did you get? We wern't able to find anyone get to a higher than 140 on youtube / google so far. Dethrone us.

Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…

I went down the rabbit hole on a side project and ended up building this: Strange Attractors(https://blog.shashanktomar.com/posts/strange-attractors). It’s built with three.js. Working on it reminded me of the little "maths for fun" exercises I used to do while learning programming in early days. Just trying things out, getting fascinated and geeky, and being surprised by the results. I spent way too much time on this, but it was extreme fun. My favorite part: someone pointed me to the Simone Attractor on Threads. It is a 2D attractor and I asked GPT to extrapolate it to…

Hey all, I built this. It’s not trying to capture every autistic experience (that’d be impossible). It’s based on my own lived experience as well as that of friends on the spectrum. I'm trying to give people a feel for what masking, decision fatigue, and burnout can look like day-to-day. That’s hard to explain in words, but easier to show through choices and stats. I'm not trying to "define autism". I’ve gotten good feedback here about resilience, meds, and difficulty tuning. I’ll keep tweaking it. If even a few people walk away thinking, "ah, maybe that’s why my coworker struggles in those…
