The "knowledge base" at the bottom is 100% slop. Why? Why inflict this on people?
Yeah, you're right — that part is pretty rough. I wanted to help people actually understand compound interest (it's kind of life-changing once it clicks), but I got lazy and let AI do it without proper editing. Defeats the whole point. I'll figure out a better way. Thanks for calling it out.

I think the words are "you're absolutely right".

#13$100 seems like a lot. I guess if you think about it compared to dev salaries, it's nothing. But for $10 per month copilot you can get some pretty great results too.

Just another AI generated website with 5000 calculators thrown together that looks like every other single one. From a brand new account with a post that looks like it was also written from ChatGPT. Somehow getting enough votes to show up on my homepage. Things are definitely changing around HN compared to when it first started.

#17Nice project! One small suggestion, adding a search or category filter would help simplify navigation given the number of calculators available.

#18Congrats! I never stopped coding, but AI makes it way more productive and fun for sure. $100 seems like a lot. I guess if you think about it compared to dev salaries, it's nothing. But for $10 per month copilot you can get some pretty great results too.

#19Same here. I’m an AI professor, but every time I wanted to try out an idea in my very limited time, I’d spend it all setting things up rather than focusing on the research. It has enabled me to do my own research again rather than relying solely on PhD students. I’ve been able to unblock my students and pursue my own projects, whereas before there were not enough hours in the day.
