New best story on Hacker News: Show HN: I spent 6 years building a ridiculous wooden pixel display

Show HN: I spent 6 years building a ridiculous wooden pixel display 975 by benholmen | 131 comments on Hacker News. I built the world's most impractical 1000-pixel display and anyone in the world can draw on it. It draws a single pixel at a time and takes 30-60 minutes to complete a single image. Anyone can participate in the project by voting for the next image to be drawn, and submitting images. https://kilopx.com/

New best story on Hacker News: Show HN: Draw a fish and watch it swim with the others

Show HN: Draw a fish and watch it swim with the others 858 by hallak | 220 comments on Hacker News. Made this website as an exercise in vibe-coding and GCP. It was posted about a few times around the internet, on sites like [Morning Brew]( https://ift.tt/EBqUCcu ), [MetaFilter]( https://ift.tt/OFYhdqV ), boingboing.net, etc. I think it's cute! I built a basic CNN trained against penises and swastikas, and then anything that doesn't hit the 63% confidence score gets sent to a mod queue, a [vibe-coded fish-tinder]( https://ift.tt/pi4vTK7... ). Was a fun exercise, spent about a month on it. Frontend is HTML5 hosted on github pages, backend is Node.JS on GCP.
