Re:Ask HN: Any Hardware Startups Here? on Wednesday July 05, 2023 @06:14PM (#36607928)
We are building smart cameras for industrial automation and robotics. We are on our 3rd generation design with a 20.5TOPS Toshiba ASIC and Sony image sensors. A lot of sweat and tears have gone in the hardware and software design.

You can load AI models like YOLO, resnet, MiDAS onto it and we are working on porting some generative AI models onto it as well. We have tried to make this as easy as possible for non-devs to be able to use it:

We offer monocular and stereo versions. The current gen is 8MP/4K.

Re:Why do new cars look like “Wet Putty”? on Tuesday December 06, 2022 @11:57AM (#33883219)
I like this, it feels calming to me, not attention grabbing or distracting.
Didn't this just happen with Alzheimer's research??
Re:OpenArt: “Pinterest” for Dalle-2 images and prompts on Thursday August 25, 2022 @09:29AM (#32593435)
I love all of these!
Would be interesting to see engagement/people who like the current Twitter content assessed against customers/people with customer potential.

Same! The captcha doesn't seem to be able to slow down the bots. Inbox is still getting flooded with spam.
Re:What’s the strangest thing you ever found in a book? on Wednesday August 03, 2022 @02:54PM (#32335471)
Such a heartwarming story, thanks for sharing. Sad though how people's beloved possessions can be discarded after death.
Omg, that's hilarious!
Re:A Brief History of Peanut Butter (2021) on Tuesday August 02, 2022 @01:28PM (#32321730)
Save yourself a huge mess and don't try using an electric handheld mixer to do the initial oil stir...I got peanut butter EVERYWHERE. It's a nightmare to clean.
Yikes, I had suppressed the memory of a terrible university prof I had who was obsessed with DFW, this instantly took me back.
Ahah this is neat, thanks for sharing! Enjoyed looking up my hometown and seeing who was there.
Wow, what an incredible story! I can't imagine having to relearn simple tasks and skills honed over a lifetime.

ahah oh my gosh I love this! Neat project, thanks for sharing!
Re:In Remote Alaska, Meal Planning Is Everything on Tuesday July 26, 2022 @10:50AM (#32239101)
Wow, I can't imagine living somewhere so remote. I wish I was better at meal planning/prepping/organizing, but it's a work in progress. I also want to get into preserving, pickling, etc. I think since fresh food is readily available where I live and I have the privilege of usually being able to afford fresh produce I've lost touch with how to have a "cushion" in case of emergency (which is something I was raised with).
Re:Emoji Kitchen on Tuesday July 26, 2022 @10:43AM (#32238980)
Oh neat! I feel like Facebook Messenger already does this sometimes where it combines emojis.
Re:In Memoriam: Forgetting Your Password on Friday July 22, 2022 @10:39AM (#32192323)
Interesting read. I think something that bothers me more than trying to remember passwords (I have a system) is when an app or website won't let you see what you've typed! It's so easy to make a typo, especially on a phone and nothing infuriates me more than that "wrong password" message popping up when I can't even view what letters/numbers I've typed in before hitting enter.

This is so cute! I have all the collections and absolutely love Calvin & Hobbes. Definitely brings back some memories!

Everything looks delish!

Ohhh neat! Website looks nice!
Re:Being on call sucks on Wednesday July 20, 2022 @10:11AM (#32166048)
The only job I ever had where I was on-call was at a discount shoe store... it was ridiculous and unnecessarily stressful.
I can't access the full text but this is really interesting. I think with how fast paced all the advancements in the scientific community are it's crucial that things we thought we understood are continuously re-assessed and analyzed.
Re:Magnus Carlsen to give up World Championship title on Wednesday July 20, 2022 @10:03AM (#32165950)
Wow, what an impressive run though!
Oh wow, I like this!

Question: if I want to go back and change my selections from the first question about what I normally listen to, how do I do that?

Re:Show HN: I fixed journaling for myself on Monday July 18, 2022 @11:32AM (#32139529)
Hmm I like the idea of prompts, it has always helped me when trying to think of what to write... but I also like the actual act of physically writing on paper. This is a great idea for somebody who prefers to work on the computer though!
Re:Taking the Sting Out of Wasps on Monday July 18, 2022 @10:23AM (#32138737)
Hmm... I'd still like to build a time machine and go back and stop myself from accidentally stepping on an underground wasp nest... that was not pleasant.

Wow, what a trip down memory lane!
Re:Why long-term plans don't work and how to fix them on Monday July 18, 2022 @10:20AM (#32138701)
I think it's good to have a long-term plan and goals, as long as it's fluid and can be adjusted as new problems/solutions arise.
Re:DIY Tool Storage Ideas (2017) on Friday July 15, 2022 @09:20AM (#32107876)
Hmmm I like the creativity but think I'd rather just keep my wrenches in their compact carrying case so I can take them wherever I need them easily...
Re:Wandering Robots in the Wild on Friday July 15, 2022 @09:17AM (#32107843)
I'm imagining this feels like the first time you let your kid walk to a friends house - so curious, young, naïve, just wandering as you watch anxiously from the sidelines.

Tried to read the article, but just kept picturing Homer Simpson
