Ask HN: Burned Tokens scented candle ideas
The other day my relative, who is a data engineer, floated the idea of a scented candle that would smell like burned LLM tokens. His birthday is coming up, so I was thinking of turning this into reality. Problem is, neither me nor my immediate social circle have a good idea which scents would best convey this, so I figured I would reach out here. Some initial propositions include: -Burned toast -Diesel fuel -Gold (no discernible scent though) -Fresh water -Rainforest (that's being destroyed?) 1 comments on Hacker News.
