What fun websites do you know?
Many of us know the classics, such as: zombo.com (RIP https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombo.com) https://www.penisland.net/ (its SFW, I promise!) crouton.net (this seems to be down? :( Heres how it looks like though https://protoweb.org/2024/01/28/crouton-net/ ) But what else is there? What are some of the silly fun sites you know about? It doesn't need to make sense. Just.. Fun. Whimsy.

Show HN: Mljar Studio – local AI data analyst that saves analysis as notebooks
Hi HN, I’ve been working on mljar-supervised (open-source AutoML for tabular data) for a few years. Recently I built a desktop app around it called MLJAR Studio. The idea is simple: you talk to your data in natural language, the AI generates Python code, executes it locally, and the whole conversation becomes a reproducible notebook (*.ipynb file). So instead of just chatting with data, you end up with something you can inspect, modify, and rerun. What MLJAR Studio does: - Sets up a local Python environment automatically, runs on Mac, Windows, and Linux - Installs missing packages during the conversation - Built-in AutoML for tabular data (classification, regression, multiclass) - Works with standard Python libraries (pandas, matplotlib, etc.) - Works with any data file: CSV, Excel, Stata, Parquet ... - Connects to PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Snowflake, Databricks, and Supabase. For AI: use Ollama locally (zero data egress), bring your own OpenAI key, or use MLJAR AI add-on. I built
