atum47··on Ask HN: Which TV do you recommend for privacy?
I'm in Brazil, so I'm going to get Smart TV TCL 50 inches. It comes with Linux and you can manage it via adb.
atum47··on Show HN: I used Claude Code to address the HN comments on my 2019 game
The code was hand written but now Claude has refactored it. You can see the changes in git history.
atum47··on Fuck Off as a Service (Foaas)
Reminded me of a 'joke' project I made when I was younger and mad about some things: https://github.com/victorqribeiro/fireEffect
atum47··on The entire city of San Francisco as a video game
I feel like I did that walk, in person (the tourist areas for sure). I've been to SF three times now, most of the time I'm walking everywhere. Even found a place that sells Brazilian coxinha
atum47··on Geek Fighter – 2d fighter game
Gorgeous graphics. Can you talk about that a bit?
atum47··on Donkey.bas is 45 Years Old – 131 line of Glory
My perceptron can play this game, I think

atum47··on WorldClaw Agentic 3D open-world generation at scale
Yeah, I saw the example with a link to GitHub and thought there would be a project. Don't like to look at code on my phone though, so I usually wait until I'm on the computer
atum47··on WorldClaw Agentic 3D open-world generation at scale
Looks impressive, haven't looked at the code yet, I'll at night.
atum47··on My phone detects going on a run as “someone snatching my phone and running off”
Mine did that once. Pixel pro 10
atum47··on You don't need React: creating a minimal UI library in Vanilla JavaScript

    > You don't need React
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing when I wrote TinyJS - https://github.com/victorqribeiro/TinyJS
atum47··on Folding Paper Globes
I would like to see some pictures of the final product, seems very cool
atum47··on Ask HN: Any tips for a college freshman enrolled in computer science?
Make friends. Get close with professors you like and are competent. Try stuff, reinvent the wheel. Do things manually first, automate it later. Memorize the things you know you're never gonna use in real life to pass the tests, don't go complaining like a child. Getting into to college is hard, getting out holding the degree is harder.
atum47··on Read this before you buy that TV streaming stick
It is actually a Google box, at least the software is (don't know if it's modified by Xiaomi). The custom launcher gets rid of those shitty recommend videos on YouTube / Prime / Netflix...
atum47··on Read this before you buy that TV streaming stick
Got myself a mi box with a custom launcher. Way better than any other Smart TV out there. Unless there's a smart tv that does not show ads right on the fing front page.

Anyway, the box is powerful enough to do several things. You can install a IP tv if you want. If you don't, you still have a pretty good media center (you can hook up an external hd on it)

atum47··on Did they ghost you?
There were two companies posting on hn some time ago that I suspect was just gathering training data (asking for a code challenge or to answer 2 questions about 60 seconds long answering some bs). I feel like we should denounce those as well. Posting jobs that don't actually exists. Specially those that post month after month.
atum47··on Petals: Run LLMs at home, BitTorrent-style
Can't even scroll the website on mobile, too much going on
atum47··on Wordit – Now in Pt-Br
A Brazilian friend of mine asked for a pt-br version of wordit so I made it.

I have removed accentuated words to keep it simple.

atum47··on Ask HN: Does anyone let AI agents play games just for fun?
A few weeks ago I released wordit, a game where starting from a four letter word, you need to come up with as many other words you can, Changi one letter at a time. To make it more competitive I've created a leaderboard. The game starter with scores of 20s, then 100s and finally 1000s. The record right now is more than 6000. After a brief investigate I realize it was a bot. Several bots took a stab at my game. I then just split the leaderboard into humans and bots. I found it funny.

atum47··on Woman in Brazil enslaved for 55 years by 3 generations of the same family
Yes. She left that house to work on a nursery home with the nuns. Then on a supermarket, I think. Then my father knocked her up at the age of 20. Interesting woman.
atum47··on Woman in Brazil enslaved for 55 years by 3 generations of the same family
Yup, my mom and her sisters were all sent off to work on family houses when they were about 10 - 12. They were born in the country side, and my grandpa didn't care for them at all.
atum47··on Show HN: Plot equations and evolve them with Conway's Game of Life
`y = x; y = -x` produces a nice effect (axis off)
atum47··on Show HN: Wordit – Change One Letter, Keep the Chain Going
my arm is a little better, so i've updated the leader board to show top 10 players and top 10 bots
atum47··on Show HN: Wordit – Change One Letter, Keep the Chain Going
Can paxcodex write a few words on how he got a score of 6472? I'm recovering from surgery and it is hard for me to do anything now, even type.
atum47··on Show HN: Wordit – Change One Letter, Keep the Chain Going
thank you
atum47··on Show HN: Wordit – Change One Letter, Keep the Chain Going
that can be done
atum47··on Show HN: Wordit – Change One Letter, Keep the Chain Going
You're not supposed to type more than one letter. You click the box you want to edit, type the letter you want to change and click check.
atum47··on Show HN: Wordit – Change One Letter, Keep the Chain Going
don't blame me, I used the biggest dictionary I could find
atum47··on Show HN: Wordit – Change One Letter, Keep the Chain Going
thanks, the whole thing were prototyped in a day or so. I was thinking about ways to make it more challenging, maybe using 5 letters word, 6... messing with how many edits you get.

I was going under surgery on the day I released this, cause it was my first time going under general anesthesia and i was freaking out. it was a rush against the time to release as is. now that I'm recovering i'll work on it some more.

thanks for the feed back

atum47··on Show HN: Wordit – Change One Letter, Keep the Chain Going
After the initial prototype, I was playing to see if the game was fun, I realized that from time to time you can get a whole new word by changing one letter. I'm glad you liked it
