While I pine for a dark sky, it makes sense that these operations should move in the same way century old optical telescopes in cities are no longer used for cutting edge science. The far side of the moon seems like an increasingly viable o

The electromechanical television got me in trouble with my 5th grade teacher. When she stated that television dated to the 1940s, I (obnoxiously) had to correct her that in fact it was invented the late 1920s as I had seen one of the origin

I think a lot of these concepts are fun/interesting, but I like that email today functions more like a mailbox than WhatsApp or Telegram. Whilst digital (or paper) spam is obnoxious I dislike the idea of binning every sender into a &qu

As someone still smarting from the loss of Google Domains, I would consider this advice carefully. When domains are not the profit center the company might just arbitrarily turn them off as a feature.

This is really cool, time to dust off an old PowerPC. I've been thinking about building apps for old Mac OS versions for a while with the advent of LLMs, glad to see someone is doing it.

Yes, same. I am now really curious for someone to culture bread tags, milk tops and fruit stickers.

...and further imagine the science that could be done if we mass manufactured probes rather than using experimental engineering for each one. We could have had dozens of Voyager probes in the outer reaches of our solar system by now. I woul

Agreed. Phrases like "journalists are currently gooning over OpenAI and Anthropic" really put me off. It's a poor attempt at modern muckraking; cheeky yet offering little substance.

It's difficult to take articles like this seriously when they use hyperbole like "...the most evil industry the planet has ever seen [oil]", never mind things like chattel slavery. I don't own an EV and am sympathetic to

Worse yet, you might not have a choice; the article notes that “sprinklers are already required in all new California homes built in 2011 and later.”

I've found that releasing and maintaining production Android apps has become more difficult in the last decade as compared to iOS which (surprisingly) has improved slightly. Google Play removed a perfectly functional NFC utility app we

United sadly removed games from its in-flight entertainment so I can no longer trounce 6 year old Magnus.

One simple solution here (and for all sorts of legislated fines and thresholds) would be to tie them to inflation; it looks like the fine of $5,000 dates to the early 90s.

I'm playing with modifying a BitAxe design ( https://github.com/bitaxeorg ) by allowing for more chips on a single board. It's theoretically pretty simple, but locating a buck that can handle the current I want to s

I'm toying around with a custom board and searching here is far better than shuffling through the old Digikey filters. Awesome!

Huh, an arbitrary tax from a remote sovereign. Sounds familiar.

Congratulations on the launch! Stablecoins are a powerful use of blockchains and it’s great to see a novel means of distributing them. A lot of commenters on HN are deeply biased against anything to do with blockchain, so best to ignore the

Honestly, X is such a cool prefix I would opt for this batch. It sounds like you are part of some skunkworks batch. The "F" batches are a bit confusing due to the YC Fellowships eons ago whichd I recall were prefixed with "F&

I've heard about these systems, and they indeed sound really cool. Unfortunately living in a 50 year old home with a patchwork of poorly sized ducts, no attic and a tiny crawlspace this will never be economical for me to do.

No, great question. We offer an open source SDK library that can interface with chips today ( https://github.com/arx-research/libhalo ) and will open source the web app. Both would allow you to interact with Burner entir

Maybe, but our first customers are people who want to gift crypto.

It turns out that many people don’t spend the gift cards designated for specific retailers, but rather trade or sell them for cash in their local market.
