ChatGPT is just trolling you. It's pretty much designed to do that.

Sigh. I am going to spend too much of the rest of my life squinting at glib, confident prose and trying to figure out whether it makes any sense at all. “Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.”
It's that intersection of confident and so on its face, even at first glance, wildly incorrect that it just makes you feel like you're the stupid one who's missing something obvious
Re: My mom left behind some number code
#63Posts like this remind me what an amazing phenomenon Internet is. 20 years ago a question like this would have been left unanswered. I hope we get to protect and keep Internet for generations to come.
Not only would it have been left unanswered, it would have been almost impossible to get an answer even with enormous resources. You could have paid a detective agency millions of dollars and the chance that one of them would stumble upon an obscure memory test containing the numbers would have been slim to none, even with tens of thousands of man-hours dedicated to the task.
I suppose the memory test would likely be in a book or pamphlet in the house

> I'd totally love to leave a little puzzle for those I love. Maybe this is a good way of reframing my mess of a Home Assistant install. Why does the coffee machine turn on at that time? Why does the ventilation system do that?

I'm away from my family (with a 3.5yo kid) and I've been annoying them and reminding them of my existence daily by talking to them over the security system, replaying "I love papa" songs in our Tesla when they drive and making the car fart when my daughter walks by it.
I like to think if something happens to me, my wife could impersonate my "ghost in the machine" presence for a bit.

#65Just for fun, it would be cool if each of us remembers to take the time to leave at least 1 or 2 little puzzles for our descendants to figure out, as a way to have happier feelings again one last time with you, in a way. My grandpa would totally have done something like this. I remember he showed me a big book of unsolved lost locations of buried treasure, and a related story he read me about a golden key hidden behi…
In the last three years, I have lost my dad and my mother and father in law. Don't worry, you will leave puzzles behind you whether you want it or not. Taking care of the administrative remains of a modern human being is a big big puzzle.
The mind departs and the body decays, but the bureaucratic soul lives forever in the paperwork of relatives.
Re: My mom left behind some number code
#66A few hours ago, while searching for something completely unrelated (decoding serial numbers for some obscure equipment) on Google, this odd result showed up and I decided to have a glance out of curiosity, but now to see someone else submitted this exact same page to HN and that it's on the front page? A very puzzling coincidence indeed!?
It was earlier on Stackexchange’s list of “Hot Questions” that appear in the sidebar on their sites. Presumably Google prioritises those in the SERPs.
A puzzle on top of the puzzle. The fractal nature of our reality.

24 year old level 11, seems like level 11 is the sweet-spot for HNers.
24 level 10, missed out on level 11 by 1 number :')
I was honestly surprised that I reached level 11, the last 3 levels felt like I completely forgot the number, but my subconsciousness seemed to remember after all. Missed out by 1 number as well on the last one :')

I've decided to make videos to leave for my descendants and family. Even just one person sitting and describing memories of people with a few family pictures looped in has to be interesting eventually. I'd love to hear my great grandparents talk about the dumb stuff in their life.
