hello12343214on Show HN: Sup AI, a confidence-weighted ensemble (52.15% on Humanity's Last Exam)

I use gemini and cursor for enterprise software implementation, but they often suggest incorrect solutions to edge cases and unique config requirements. An AI that has a higher likelihood of being accurate is very appealing. I'll give Sup AI at try over the next few days at work.

Also, discovering HLE was great... scrolling through some of the questions brings back memories of college organic chem.

Thanks. It's just javascript using mainly math.sin() functions, html, and css. And yeah, a few websites have installed it and a few blogs picked it up. It's been a fun little project. Open to suggestions as well!

There is a setting "reduced motion" on many browsers and devices. It should disable Scroll Buddy if a user has this turned on. Hope that helps. Thank you to @jsheard for the suggestion

hello12343214on Made a scroll bar buddy that walks down the page when you scroll

Instead of a boring scrollbar thought it would be fun to have an animated stick figure that walks up and down the side of your page when you scroll.

This is the first prototype i made.

Going to make a skateboarder, rock climber, or squirrel next. what other kinds of scroll buddies should I make?
