Thanks for your feedback! Yes, we're using ChatGPT 3.5 for now and we will certainly switch to GPT-4o mini in the near future. It already works with ChatGPT 4 but we noticed that t…

Hi HN, We built Neurooo.com, an automatic translation tool like DeepL or Google Translate, but using LLMs with OpenAI and Mistral. We noticed that LLMs were quite good at translati…

Thank you! I didn't know PIN were also used for the magnetic strips (we never use them in Europe, or at least in Belgium). The legacy software could explain it. But the difference …

That's something that crossed my mind, a 4-digits PIN is a weak password by definition. But hashing them with the customer ID, date of birth, or something else, and using bcrypt to…

Hello HN, I received my new credit card with a reminder of my current PIN. I'm not sure how that could be possible without having a database of their customer names, addresses and …

I loved and finished the game but I had the same issue on two occasions. I felt sick and I had to stop. Now I know it was not the food I had just eaten but the game itself, thank y…

I have no idea, the title changed after I posted it and it was "288". It was also originally a "Show HN:" but someone removed it (maybe I was using it wrong, I don't know).

I was indeed afraid that it would look too static without using "random" phases. Using seconds would be great (I could try to make them look smaller too). Looking at my source of i…

The keyboard controls are the same as XMoto (up for acceleration, down for brake, left/right for rotation) but they are applied differently. The smallest difference in physical val…

I tried to start a blog to talk about the project's creation: http://xmoto.io But as always, I prefer to spend my time working on the code than writing blog posts... So they are no…

Thanks for the compliment! Nice catch for the bug! I fixed it on the wip branch here: https://github.com/MichaelHoste/xmoto.js/commit/24855d191a43... There is an abstraction betwee…
