Can a Large Language Model Understand the Waste Land?
(My account can’t submit links yet; feel free to submit this if it seems interesting.)I built an experiment mapping The Waste Land (Section III, "The Fire Sermon") into a geometric space across phonetic, semantic, and rhetorical axes. Annotations are generated by an LLM and updated context-by-context as the poem unfolds.What emerged wasn't "understanding" in a literary sense. The model consistently smooths ambiguity into precise coordinates—every word gets a clean positi
Show HN: Analysis of SpaceX vs. Blue Origin VP Backgrounds: Auto vs. Aerospace
I analyzed the employment history of ~100 VPs at SpaceX (2018-2025) and Blue Origin (2023-2025) to understand how their leadership pipelines differ.The data suggests a divergence in engineering philosophy: SpaceX appears to optimize for high-volume manufacturing (looking to the auto industry), while Blue Origin values legacy aerospace pedigree.The Data (n=101):SpaceX (52 VPs analyzed): - Top source: Internal promotions (40%) - #2 source: Tesla (15%) - #3 source: Automotive (BMW, Ford, GM) (~10%)
Show HN: Yeet – CLI tool to find and reclaim disk space
I kept running out of disk space and never knew where it all went. Paid apps exist for this, but paying $10-30 just to see what's eating your disk felt wrong. So I built an open-source alternative. Yeet finds stale coding projects (detects by package.json, pyproject.toml, Cargo.toml, etc.), scans for large files, clears caches (browsers, npm, pip, cargo, Docker, Homebrew - 60+ locations), cleans up Xcode on macOS (simulator runtimes are sneaky - 5-10 GB each), and has an interactive disk ex
