This is not nearly as impressive (or useful) as the other posts, but when ChatGPT was released I developed this toy site almost entirely thru prompts. http://goodvibeai.com/ I told it to gen a bunch of heartwarming messages, make a website to display them, now make it have a color gradient, now make the text fade in and out, now have the site have a button to play an audio file, etc etc etc Spent more time hosting it…

This is fun, I like the music. Was ChatGPT able to give you the gradient animation as well? I have struggled to get ChatGPT to do anything that involves spatial reasoning.

https://dotfilehub.com No JS, and easy to self host. It’s a place to put your dotfiles. It comes with a CLI loosely based on git for editing, versioning, pushing, and pulling.

I saw this when it was originally posted. Never got around to using it, but I'll try it out

In-depth analysis of a memory allocation strategy, which allowed me to write an alternative to std::vector, which in my benchmarks performed better for all but a few workloads and on those few was competitive.

I was exhausted after finishing it. It may have been too long for some folks though. No upvotes.

I have a couple...

1. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34507046 I made a port of Xixit to the X16 [video]

It's super interesting as someone who never lived through the 80s watching someone programming an 8 bit system. Even more impressive is he is making his own "modern" 8 bit system with off the shelf parts! I'm amazed that people can make complex software in assembly. I feel like my brain can't deal with the limited abstraction

For original content, I would shamelessly plug my post from a month ago titled "The Fascinating development of AI: From ChatGPT and DALL-E to Deepfakes Part 3"

2. https://www.deusinmachina.net/p/the-fascinating-development-...

I look at the 3 main technologies that are shaping the way we create content, in text, art, and video, and talk about how we got there. If I were writing it today I'd have to include a 4th part about VALL-E which came out right after I posted it. Maybe I'll write about that later.

Excited to see what everyone else posts!
