Yes, technically HN is full of these kinds of corrections... but HN isn't actually wet.

Love this idea! Really makes my mind wonder what else I could do with those esp32 chips I have sitting around?

Hard to take it serious when it opens with this note: `48% of AI-generated code contains security vulnerabilities (Apiiro, 2024`?

Really? 2024? That was forever ago in LLM coding. Before tool calling, reasoning, and larger context windows.

It is like saying YouTube couldn’t exist because too many people were still on dial up.



The Wordle list is available here (in addition to many other places): https://github.com/pseudosavant/ps-web-tools/blob/main/wordl...

Has anyone confirmed if they still use only this original list? I would think the NY Times could change the word list however they choose.

They changed some words pretty much right after the acquisition. There was some controversy when they started doing "themed" words (like Christmas stuff in December) vs more "random" words. Some words were also removed for having negative vibes/political liability

They removed WENCH from the list of upcoming solutions fairly quickly, but forgot to add it back to the list of available words so you couldn't use it as a guess for a little while. It made it back to the list eventually.

I believe these lists are more like what is described in the blog post. Diction of words, filtered to 5 letter words, no plurals, etc. It most likely has 99%+ of the words, but maybe some they don't actually use in Wordle.

I've used my own tool (https://pseudosavant.github.io/ps-web-tools/wordle-solver/) for understanding how many words are left after each guess. It'll show hints if you want them too, but they are disabled by default. I like understanding how my guesses reduce the word space well (or not).

It uses the list of all of the words that can be in Wordle, and there are so many words I can't imagine anyone guessing. And I come from a family with large vocabularies.


Remarkable tech that is now accessible to almost anyone. My cloned voice sounded exactly like me. The uses for this will be from good to bad and everywhere in-between. A deceased grandmother reading "Good Night Moon" to grandkids, scamming people, the ability to create podcasts with your own voices from just prompts.


It's a good thing governments (https://www.ato.gov.au/online-services/voice-authentication) and banks (https://www.anz.com.au/security/how-we-protect-you/voice-id/) haven't gone all in on using voice as an authentication mechanism.


But all of my great ideas are purely from my own original inspiration, and not learning or pattern matching. Nothing derivative or remixed. /sarcasm


The truth is that on average Republicans have way more guns that Democrats.

Anecdata but… I’ve personally known many Republicans who have massive gun collections and even personal shooting ranges in their basement. I’ve never met a Democrat with any of that.

Only one side of this conflict is meaningfully armed and they are already in power.


We are trying. Please realize that the second largest conflict (based on spending) in the world right now, behind the Russian invasion of Ukraine, is DJT’s ICE attacks on the US. That is how much he is spending to attack his own country. More than Israel spends to occupy Palestinians.

Sadly, if you look at polling, none of this is remotely unpopular with US Republican voters. Our country’s union is hanging on by tattered threads.

They’re violating the U.S. constitution and committing crimes daily.


Does the law require them to kill civilians?


As was the Gestapo :-)


Maybe your country's union was a bad idea? Feels like it's allowed the regressive parts to keep control over the greater whole. Maybe y'all should've just let secession happen - at least the worst parts of America would've been contained.


The South wasn’t punished enough after the civil war is where a lot of this stems from. There was no cleaning house like what happened with Germany after WW2.


It's easy to look at the politics of individual states as a means of breaking things up if you ignore the economics. Things get very complicated, very quickly when you set a political threshold for breaking up the country.


I encourage you to watch or read the Handmaid’s Tale if you want to see what that could look like.

Are you familiar with America's history with eugenics? Contemporary with Denmark's human rights abuses in Greenland you're bringing up (1960's–70's), America's government was doing very much the same thing, to their own vulnerable minorities.

> "Between the span of the 1930s to the 1970s, nearly one-third of the female population in Puerto Rico was sterilized; at the time, this was the highest rate of sterilization in the world.[120] "

> "An estimated 40% of Native American women (60,000–70,000 women) and 10% of Native American men in the United States underwent sterilization in the 1970s.[125]"

There were never any leftists in control of the US government. Please don't spread FUD.


Those sterilized during Nazi rule would like a word.


My experience has been that people are usually (>50% of the time) offended and non-compliant, no matter how politely you ask. Who am I to ask them to be quieter? They only stop if something annoying is happening for them, like this app, or audibly responding to their call/video.
