  • I saw here on HN maybe a couple of months ago a post where someone had basically created a "color space" for breakfast foods... oh sweet, I found it:

    The Hunt for Dark Breakfast

  • Awesome work. I'm really interested in the parametric-driven recipe card. I wanted to do something like this for bread recipes where you can tweak the hydration / salt levels to alter the recipe but still get a traditional recipe card. I would be really curious to hear about the approach in more detail.
  • There's a whole lot of "I" in this post for something you didn't do. Why are you taking credit for Claude's work? What makes you feel entitled to say "I did this thing" when Claude did the thing?
  • I want to like this but it reads like Claude output, how much scrutiny did this get for accuracy?
  • Actually, the whole website is fire. There are articles on the same level on how to select T-shirts and pants.

    This is the second time I see a reviewer online doing the thing that was common a couple decades ago: actually doing the research.

  • Well I have a new favorite website. I don’t know the last time that I read something that was so thoroughly and multidimensionally my shit.

    Not actually measuring crispness when you self report having the perfect equipment to do so is a cruel, cruel tease though.

  • Perhaps you could add a classic Swedish take on pancakes/crepes - whisk a moderate numbers of eggs with milk (4 eggs for every litre of milk is a good starting point, but dealers choice), flour until a nice consistency, fry in a pan until they're your chosen colour of done. Serve with strawberry jam, or any sweet condiment of your choice.

    Edit: Also, what in the name of all that's holy - looking beyond the generator, this entire article is amazing. Absurd level of detail for pancakes, yes, but amazing.

  • A ten hour wait doesn't really strike me as a pancake? You should have a "it's 730am, there's four screaming girls, only two of which are related to me, the dogs are begging for scraps, and the demand for pancakes has crossed into Veblen goods territory."
