Show HN: Telescope – Hassle-free company research 6 by GRVYDEV | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hey HN. I recently started a company and found myself constantly doing company research for competitors, prospective customers, and outbound leads. As an engineer, I found it challenging to figure out where to get up-to-date company information as well as tedious needing to visit multiple sites often. I built Telescope to solve that problem. Under the hood, Telescope performs multiple search queries the same way I would and synthesizes the results for me. This is very much a WIP but I would love for you to try it out and let me know what you think. Over the next couple of weeks, I plan on continuing to improve Telescope and add more features. Cheers :)

ZX Spectrum Raytracer 24 by ggambetta | 3 comments on Hacker News. Inspired by a recent article in HN about raytracing on some ancient architecture, I realized that I've implemented many a raytracer in my life, but never one for my first love, the ZX Spectrum. So I fixed the glitch. Trigger warning: the source code includes GO TO statements. Because that's how we did it in the 80s! Enter at your own peril.

Show HN: Edu AI, a company grown from my research (AI and pedagogy) 7 by charleduease | 3 comments on Hacker News. Hi guys, my name is Charlie and I am a 24-year-old researcher and entrepreneur from London. Innovation has been slow here, I regularly browse and read ycom news and thought I'd share my UK ed-tech startup that's sprung out of my AI-driven pedagogy research project here at Goldsmiths, UoL. Not sure what it's like over in the states or other countries, but we see here lots of educators using ChatGPT for creating assignments and marking; while simultaneously complaining about students using ChatGPT to write their work. It's really bad at the university level here at the moment, feels like we have a loop of ChatGPT producing learning material, students submitting work written by ChatGPT, and then lecturers marking it with ChatGPT. The basis of my research is around maintaining a human in the loop, learning from our past mistakes with social media and the int...

Wanted to see others in the HN community that may have done this... given brain plasticity and general age, what's the best way to go about it?

Show HN: Conway's Game of Life, but with a gallery of other peoples patterns 1 by Dave_Bruwer | 1 comments on Hacker News. This is my spin on Conway's Game of Life. I have added the ability to create an account, save grids that you have discovered, and browse the gallery of grids saved by other people and replay them. This project has served as a sandbox for me to practice various aspects of developing a comprehensive web application from scratch. This was my first time developing a full scale web app with [almost] all the features you would expect. I know it is nowhere near perfect in its current state, but I feel it has reached a point of diminishing returns, and therefore my time is better spent focussing on other projects with more potential. I may continue to develop this project further in the future just for fun.
