Show HN: Test your license plate identification skills

22 forthwall 13 5/21/2025, 6:52:12 PM shub.club ↗

Earlier this week on HN I came across a dataset that had a bunch of approved/rejected California license plates, so I made it into a game! Enjoy

    LUV CBDS

    YOUR ARE WRONG!!!

    REJECTED | Reason: CBD=CANNABIDIOL, A COMPOUND OF MARIJUANA LIKE THC.

Well, that's silly seeing how CBD is available OTC basically everywhere (thanks to Mitch McConnell and the law of unintended consequences https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/how-mitch-mcconnell-acc...)

Virginia has a national park license plate with a picture of a black bear. I recently saw it, vanity letters, "AHHBEAR", googly eye glued to the bear.

EvanAnderson · 8h ago

Several years ago I received a letter from the Ohio BMV asking me to explain my vanity tag. I always wondered if somebody complained about it. I bet my explanation ended up in a database not unlike the one this game is based-on.

(My explanation to the BMV was that it was my favorite prime number less than 32,000...)

This game feels like someone trying to RLHF some license plate model

jony1266 · 9h ago

LOL this is so fun -- esp because these are real license plates that got approved + rejected...

where did you get the data for the license plates from?

cAtte_ · 8h ago

OP seems to be referring to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44025022

forthwall · 8h ago

Yup! I actually couldn’t find it for some reason, will add it to attribution- thanks

jony1266 · 8h ago

ah very cool

croisillon · 8h ago

i don't get it?

CHULO62

APPROVED | Reason: CHULO=PIMP

forthwall · 8h ago

These are the notes written by the DMV. They may note that a plate may have a negative connotation, but they will still approve it

croisillon · 8h ago

ah ok thanks!

laweijfmvo · 8h ago

Same. I don't really understand the output.
