Ask HN: Options for critical thinking and learning outside work?What options in today’s world exist to support critical thinking? I’m at FAANG basically trying to stay afloat as an expat in a foreign country and hate my job. Mostly forced to do AI LLM stuff. Security and quality out the window since management stopped caring about that.I miss deep thinking and training my brain. Should I pursue a masters in math or something? I have a masters in general CS, but this was 10 years ago.

Show HN: Monochess – A chess variant with rule-bending action cardsHey HN,A while back I saw a video[0] of people playing chess but using action cards to modify the rules mid-game (skip turns, reverse, draw 2, etc.). It looked incredibly chaotic and really fun to play, so I decided to actually build it as a playable online game. A small difference in Monochess is there's no need to call out a phrase if you just have one piece. I noticed while testing with the mrs. it became really annoying to keep doing this every move.That also gave me a really good reason to build on Cloudflare using their entire stack, something I've been meaning to get my hands dirty with for quite some time. The app is built using SvelteKit and hosted on Pages, there's a Durable Object worker-backed game server, and D1 as the database layer for accounts/games.This project included:- A Custom Engine: Standard chess engines panic when forced into illegal board states. The engine wraps standard chess logic to allow for mid-turn state changes—handling concepts like rolling back a com

Show HN: Smithereen – an early-Facebook-style Fediverse serverHey! I'm Gregory Klyushnikov, a former lead Android developer at VKontakte, Russia's Facebook. And I hate enshittification with a burning passion. I quit in 2016 because the mismatch in values with the new management started driving me crazy.My core issue with Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, VKontakte, and other commercial, centralized social network services is that they all eventually drift away from "staying updated on your friends' lives" towards "getting world news", "communicating with businesses", "a town square", "a place to look at ads", "endless supply of brainrot", and all kinds of other things that involve the platform forcefully shoving strangers at you and you at them - I call such pivoted services social "media". If you want to just be with your friends on the modern internet, you're out of luck. (Yes, messaging apps are a stopgap seemingly everyone has settled on, but it's not a good solution.)This gaping niche is what eventually got me interested in developing for the fe

Show HN: Trainy, an AI team that fires youHi - I'm Patrick. Did YC in S22 + Revolut, Nubank alum.Trainy is made for you to learn how to build AI products, without being fired in real life.It seems like every company in the world wants to use AI (for whatever reason). At the same time, 95% of their workforce has no clue how to do it. Plus, AI jobs are the hottest right now but talent is scarce. So basically, everyone needs to up-skill.I'm not an ML engineer so struggled to learn how to build an AI product. Took me months and a bunch of mistakes. So I decided to try to fix it.Trainy is a simulator to replicate the experience of building an AI product from within a large company. You interact with agents representing CEOs, CTOs, Compliance, etc who have their own expertise, way of looking at things and even personalities. If you screw up the CEO will actually fire you.The full simulator is still being built but on this link you can experience a few scenarios. Would love to hear what you think feels off about the interaction.
