numberlesson Show HN: A simple 2D fluid and gravity simulation with WASM and WebGL

Very nice! Took me a while to realise it has mouse based gravity but very good! (I clicked directly on the link on a mobile device without checking here)

numberlesson Show HN: I built a free in-browser Llama 3 chatbot powered by WebGPU

Very interesting! I would be quite interested to see this implemented as some sort of API for browser chatbots or possibly even local AI powered web games? If you don't know what Ollama is I suggest checking it out. Also I think adding the phi3 model to this would be a good idea.

numberlesson Google made me ruin a perfectly good website (2023)

It appears to not exist.

numberlesson World_sim: LLM prompted to act as a sentient CLI universe simulator

I made the Solar System then wiped it out with varying universe destroying machines, then made a lonely plant sitting all by itself surrounded by 3 stars. Life started growing on the planet... Wiped out. I then ordered it 'create Stone Cult' to see what would happen and it created a biological supercomputer which I then asked to 'the Question of Life the Universe and Everything' and...

It asked me what 6x7 is, after a large amount of descriptive text. Hitchikers reference moment

numberlesson Ask HN: How to Block YouTube at Home

I believe if you own a network, it's possible to lock YouTube to an age range which means however that works, it can probably be used to block it.

numberlesson Ask HN: Is anybody getting value from AI Agents? How so?

I personally use an AI FAQ bot to automate FAQ questions in some of my Discord servers. It doesn't always work as well as a human answering but it does help, in most cases. In other words, AI Agents can be very helpful but can only be trusted/useful to a limited extent compared to humans.

numberlesson Anyone knows a free extension to send personalized WhatsApp messages daily 100

It is against the WhatsApp terms of service to use 3rd party applications to use WhatsApp, meaning your WhatsApp account could be terminated if they find you doing this. Evidence from the WhatsApp Help Center: https://faq.whatsapp.com/1217634902127718
