I think their ads are better than chatgpt’s. I’ve seen them more recently encouraging people to “keep thinking” and use it to improve themselves

I did not realise there are ads for LLMs. Of course if I thought about it, I would conclude that there must be. But somehow the concept seems strange to me. What do they advertise? The LLM can do so many different things… I guess they are all “welcome! To the world of tomorrow!”

Then again, I know nothing about ads these days. Last time I had any ad exposure was twenty years ago, when I lived at home with my parents.

I've previously seen some ads for Claude on YouTube, mainly following the style of a programmer influencer talking about it. But I'm more of a technical audience.

Though, I happened to be watching the Superbowl, and Anthropic was all in taking pot shots at OpenAI's recent decision to start incorperating ads. Very much addressed towards a general audience. Here's one of them for example: https://youtu.be/FBSam25u8O4

I don't know, the one with the simple minds song was pretty good.

https://wordcollector.netlify.app An offline dictionary in your browser. Dictionary is pulled from the open source wordnet dataset and cached in browser as a sqlite database. Installable as a PWA as well. Working on adding a study mode to review words that you’ve looked up in the past to help commit them to memory and adding synonyms and antonyms. Plans to add multiple languages in the future so you could use this as a language learning tool as well.

I think the current way is fine but showing position on the bell curve would help for those who struggle with interpretation

I'm working on Paint Launcher (beta) – a minimalist Android home screen without icons, where you paint tappable zones onto your wallpaper instead. You can try it out now here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lukew3.pai...

Very cool. I wish there more more customizable smartphone interfaces like this.

I tried it on https://github.com/monkeytypegame/monkeytype and it just said ESLint and Prettier which doesn't describe much. It probably would work properly if it worked recursively or at least checked the first directories. I like the website and api option though.

For now the strategy is to check the manifests in the root of the project without fetching to the github API. Alternatively you can check recursively and search for manifests and other files also via API but you lose the speed of response. It is a first draft and above all an open source project and I would like someone to contribute.

Thanks for the feedback on the website. The API is intended as a core product, to help developers who integrate the github API to get programming languages from a repo.

Kinda mad I didn't show up when I searched my skills and location. Seems like people with those skills in their bio showed up first even though others may have more commits and their profile/repos have more recognition.

Cool project! I would probably call it an MCP server for every Github repo though since project could be confused for Github Projects which is their work planning/tracking tool.

Thanks!

Yes, I'd rather not share access to my private repos with an untrusted party. I would like to try it with public ones though

Kinda obvious this was written last minute haha. Basically rewriting this idea we've all heard many times. Good luck though!

Much of blogging (and creation in any form) is often exactly that: an existing idea remixed or reconsidered from someone else’s perspective.

After-all, the telephone wasn’t all that an original idea for a long while before the idea finally reached a salient and effective point.

My take has always been: just because you and I have heard the concept before does not mean everyone has. And if one person finds it helpful to read in this way, that’s a nice thing to have provided the world. :)

You said it well. We all stand on the shoulders of those that came before us.

Woah, that's pretty
