This is the best way. Inline duct fan and a flex hose running out of your window (you can print an adapter/connector to fit perfectly). It works very well even if your enclosure is not airtight (and it shouldn't be when printing P

This is fantastic, thank you for your work! I'm excited to see this project combine a clean API in a popular language, with a fast online playground that requires no installation. Having played with OpenSCAD and CadQuery in the past, t

You can prefix a prompt for Whisper with a small text section containing desired vocab, and it will likely improve accuracy for that specific domain. Whisper source is very readable, check out https://github.com/openai/

Yes, thanks for the correction! In DIY keyboard community a microcontroller breakout board is often referred to as MCU which makes things confusing.

I love RP2040 (especially how circuit designer and firmware dev friendly it is) and even tried building my own MCU with it[1] However I don't quite see the Bluetooth use case - RP2040 is not really a low power chip, making it pretty

Very cool, and excited to see more "Geometry as Code" tools getting built. In addition to comparing to OpenSCAD it'd also be awesome to see a comparison to CadQuery.

Cool idea, but it'd be great to add an explanation for choosing this over Stripe payment links ( https://stripe.com/payments/payment-links ). For Stripe, you can configure a redirect on success linking to your paid

This is mostly nonsense, you can easily check for yourself. Load up the OP's page with Chrome dev tools network tab open. Connection start: 90ms (60ms of which is SSL handshake) Request/Response: 30ms request / 30ms response

For sure, nothing is 100% secure (and even with multiple U-locks an angle grinder will win out after a while). I've had a good experience with hexlox so far - they are super hard to remove without a key. Haven't had any theft issu

While the overall point of simple racks being better definitely stands, the premise that a bike needs two locks is just silly and impractical. Get wheel locks for your bikes - pinhead, hexlox (my favorite), etc. If your wheels are secured t

Given that most old Android phones stop receiving security updates after only a couple years from purchase, you should probably not do anything that involves connecting them to your local network.

E-ink monitors are really cool (I've had a couple different ones for a while). However if your primary goal is reducing eye-strain, there are much better ways: https://twitter.com/levpopov/status/1466835595984

The nice thing about the current version is that it's just a straight-up HDMI peripheral so you don't have to worry about any security issues (Dasung's software is not exactly confidence inspiring, and I definitely would not

Thanks for linking to the report, it's interesting reading. I think it largely confirms the point of my post though - we need independent certification labs in the US to make imported PPE usable. It is unclear what % of reported qualit

by levpopov 6y ago
The US does not even need to ramp up PPE production. Mask availability is good outside of the US, but you don't know if you are importing a fake one, unfortunately. This is solvable. What's needed is additional certification labs

Congrats on launching! yaseer, why does Axiom require a desktop app (vs running purely as a chrome extension)?

Paul, is there anything HN readers can do to help with this?

You can use Flowlingo on desktop/laptop at https://reader.getflowlingo.com - the mobile apps are definitely the most polished at this point which is why we’d prefer people start there first (we send a follow up email after

Flowlingo dev here: Thanks for the suggestion - all this info is linked from app store pages (I'm guessing this is where the person above found it). Having a separate about page on the website is a great idea as well, we'll add th

Gracias! Feel free to send us feedback in the app, any time (just tap “Help” and scroll to the bottom)

Almost everything in the app is free - including the tech news. There is a premium subscription to help our tiny team of two fund the development. Subscribers can practice with books (Flowlingo works with any .ePub file), and get more video

Great feedback. We plan on adding both - a notification, as well as a button to add and remove flashcards after tapping.

Hey - the phone number is just a convenience if you want to text the app store link to you phone (from the desktop landing page). You don't need a phone number to use Flowlingo, and we don't ask for anything other than email when

Hey, thanks for the feedback. We definitely need to improve the app for Chinese - word tokenization is much harder here so we don't handle word selection well right now. Our app is most polished for languages like Spanish, French, Germ

Yep, that's exactly how Flowlingo works! We do the same for books and videos as well (native content in foreign language with ML translation tools to help you read/watch)

Hey, thanks for the feedback on the site being confusing. Will update to make it more clear! All content is native content in the foreign language you are learning. Suppose you are learning Spanish - we'll show you a feed of popular ne
