Mel's Hack – The Missing Bits

New article on Mel's Loop project – an analysis of Mel Kaye's hack for his blackjack game for the RPC-4000 computer.<p>"This approach to coding is far from extinct. One often finds it in software teams, among some highly regarded – though less valued – members. If you've spent several years in the industry or in Computer Science academia, you surely know this subspecies: the developer that replaces a straightforward loop with a series of auto-resolving promises, capped by a cryptic reducer, then revels in their teammates' bewilderment at the sight of the new code. Hardly the personality that you'd select for a coding legend." (ibid)

Show HN: Generate quiz questions using AI

One of the coolest things I've been able to get GPT-3 to do is generate questions based on a piece of text.<p>So, I built a simple site to help others do the same. Hopefully, this can be useful to teachers, trainers, or just anyone who wants to create a fun and unique quiz.

Show HN: AI magics meet Infinite draw board

I have been dreaming of creating things (arts, games, etc.), but that wouldn't be possible because I can hardly draw anything. But now with Stable Diffusion everything is hopeful again, so I further collected the AI magics that I considered necessary in creation activities, and integrated them into an Infinite draw board (like Figma).<p>Hope that I can hear from you, any advice or suggestions will be really appreciated!

Show HN: Open-source user onboarding and KYC flow made with Svelte (~50kb)

Hi everyone, We’re building an open-source identity and risk management platform and we’ve just released the first chunk of code, a fully customizable KYC flow & UI, to the public. We’ve chosen to use Svelte so our flows would be lightweight (it is ~50kb gzipped). Next up: - Adding forms and components for it to be used as a full onboarding flow. - Releasing an open-source case management dashboard, for manual approval of users. - Releasing an open-source rule engine, to help automate decisions. We’d love to hear your feedback, suggestions, or any question you’ve got. And if the rest of the project is relevant or interesting to you, follow us and, we’ll update you once new things are available. Thanks!

Show HN: Google hijacking search from GitHub, Twitter, others

I couldn't find any relevant info about this. Maybe I'm part of some new Chrome experiment, or just very bad at searching.<p>Here's what it looks like: https://imgur.com/a/idXLYOJ<p>I opened a new Chrome tab just now, typed GitHub in the address bar. Opened the top suggested repository I'm checking frequently, and then used the GitHub search input box. As GitHub search results loaded, on the right side of the Chrome address bar I noticed a new, and colorful G icon. Animating and distracting, the icon expanded into a pretty big inline notification saying "See more search results". After a few seconds it animated and minimized itself back to the G icon.<p>Clicking the icon opens a right side panel with Google results of my GitHub query.<p>I then tried to search for something via the Chrome address bar. Without clicking on any of the results, I used the address bar again to open Twitter's home page (typing twitter.com). The animated G icon showed up again - right there on Twitter's home page.<p>Firefox installed.<p>Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
