Interesting watch, and based on the description some of what is shown is based on actual work.

The question is if your neighbors are ready for that.

I think a lot of survivalist planning seems to forget that few of us live somewhere so far out that we don't need to account for our neighbors actions.

I have a child who has to use a speech board to communicate. Will Ello adjust itself to work with a non-verbal child? If not, is that in the plans?

As usual, the hard problem is how you define "Elementary" which is why the posters always show 17, and then you get numbers that go as high as 995.5 (and the .5 is an interesting result as well).

I suspect there's a seed of an HN documentary here as well.

I suspect it got more traffic than expected. See the same results on Win 11 with Chrome this morning.

Ironic (at least to me) that trying to go to the URL results in a message that I am blocked because it thinks I'm a bot. I assume for the same reason I get that from the NYT (because I tend to use a VPN... horrors).

At least they are both consistent in that trying to sign up for a subscription leads to the same message.

Curious if anyone here has tried rosebud.ai for something similar. I looked into it, and it did appear to break it down into steps, but can't really produce anything that runs without upgrading to a paid tier.

Ask HN: Yard Noise Cancellation Speakers/Systems?

As summer is approaching, our neighbors on all sides are spending more time in their yards. That's generally a good thing, but it can make for a cacophony of children's voices and various music selections. I don't want to just crank up some music to try and overpower theirs, nor do I want to keep them from enjoying their own yards.So I'm wondering if there is some kind of speaker or system I...

Something like this would make sharing the experience quite a bit better - particularly with AR to allow us both to experience together (VR being a bit restrictive to just the person viewing and not the others there).
In mice, and also using a printed replica of a nasal cavity. It will be a while before we even see human tests, and I'm sort of curious how humans will respond to feeling their noses filled with a gel...
I'm not sure "The Matrix" was meant to be a How-To Manual... because this sure feels like the first step to humans in a tube.
