• Don't watermark your legal PDFs with purple dragons in suits

  The coked-up AI cartoon dragon attorney. His website, which also features the purple dragon and a bunch of busted links in the footer, says that the firm "integrates AI to lower the cost of legal services." Hopefully this lawyer is making sure this AI isn't making up the cases it's citing, which is a continuing problem: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=ai+make+up+legal+cases. - Source: Hacker News / 5 days ago

• Mesmerizing Interlocking Geometric Patterns Produced with Japanese Woodworking

  Reminds me of Islamic Mashrabiya screens. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Mashrabiya&ia=images&iax=images Historically, the screens were quite simple, with more complex patterns rendered in ceramic tilings (symmetry groups, colorings, knots and intertwinings). Now there are good modern screens with more innovative patterns, made with computer-controlled laser cutters. In a quick search for Kumiko examples, I very... - Source: Hacker News / 10 days ago

• NSF director to resign amid grant terminations, job cuts, and controversy

  Https://archive.org/details/resignationinpro00weis From an Amazon review comment: "This book offers an insightful analysis into the history and norms involved in the tradition of resignation in the U.S. And the U.K. Why do the British tend to resign loudly in protest and Americans resign “to spend more time with family” while praising their president? How do these norms benefit and harm their respective systems?... - Source: Hacker News / 13 days ago

• I Created Perfect Wiki and Reached $250K in Annual Revenue Without Investors

  [sorry for the late reply] Do you have a blog or Instagram or something with your work? Non computer projects sometimes get traction here if they are unusual or interesting or are made by a regular or whatever criteria the hivemind uses to choose the upvotes. I'd like to take a look, in case there is one where my spider sense feels that can farm some karma. (Obliviously, my spider sense can fail!) Take a look at... - Source: Hacker News / 7 days ago
