That skill has not been updated since its release.

I would suggest checking out this project for a boost in design skills:

rlorenzo··on Various LLM Smells
For designs, try https://impeccable.style/slop/ to detect AI slop patterns and improve your designs. I found it helpful for critiquing designs, developing a DESIGN.md guide, and iterating on UIs.
rlorenzo··on Show HN: Zebrapuzzles.com – Daily Logic Puzzles
I had to break out the paper for 3+ light bulb puzzles.

It would be great to mark which options aren't valid on the website. Maybe a checkbox UI for the more challenging puzzles? Where we can mark a checkbox for entries that aren't the right answer and choose the correct one with the dropdown?

rlorenzo··on Get $15k to move to Michigan and work remotely
Here's the website with the program. The actual article is behind a paywall.

rlorenzo··on The Far Side is officially online for the first time, with new comics to come
Is there an RSS feed for the site that anyone can find? https://www.thefarside.com
rlorenzo··on Robinhood launches 3% checking account
I wouldn't mind switching to them, but they don't integrate with financial tracking systems like Mint. I find the ability to get a birds eye view of my finances too valuable. Sticking with Ally and their 2% for now. Do wish they integrate with Mint or Personal Capital.
rlorenzo··on SMT Solving on an iPhone
Seems like Mac Minis are the new Xserve: https://www.macstadium.com/

Maybe the next upgrade of the Mac Mini in 4-5 years will be to A series of chips.

rlorenzo··on IRS Notification
This is exactly what I was looking for.

Just wondering, I see the Tax Summary. It seems to be all that I would need to fill out my taxes, right? What does generating the 8949 form give me?

rlorenzo··on Classroom for GitHub
A company that creates discussions boards for courses is already doing that. They are called Piazza (https://piazza.com/) and used the student data they have been collecting to Piazza Careers: https://recruiting.piazza.com/

It has caused some heated discussions at our university regarding student privacy.

rlorenzo··on FaceNiff takes Firesheep mobile, hacks Facebook and Twitter accounts in seconds
Do the Facebook/Twitter mobile apps connect to their servers via SSL? Is this only a problem if you use the web version via your mobile phone?
rlorenzo··on Track Amazon.com price drops with Firefox and Chrome addon
How is this difference than http://www.pricepinx.com? I currently use this site and it tracks more stores than just Amazon.
rlorenzo··on Ask HN: Do you face problems with using Google Chrome?
Sometimes when entering a search term in the address bar the "instant search" goes a little crazy and loses half of the text I typed in. Not a big deal, but happens once in a while.
rlorenzo··on I'm seeking beta-testers for my user support snapshot service
Is there a future plan to maybe provide an option to pay for the ability to host the jooplicate service on our own machines?

I work for a university that still is very hesitant on using cloud services, because they don't want student data going outside our machines.

rlorenzo··on Google Reader reader? Would you find this service useful?
Does this help with buzz updates? It bothers me that if I read buzz updates in gmail that they are still unread in google reader's "friends you follow" and vice versa.
