I think velcro is the canonical example of this.

A wonderful, inspiring site. Thank you.

A celebration that wit and good humour still exists on HN.

You may want to look at Karakeep which is what I use.

In movies, English accents, are usually villains...

Magnetic Man is unmistakably American, and annoying with it.

QRPLabs sell even lighter trackers https://www.qrp-labs.com/u4b.html

and AFAIK are the goto supplier for HAB (High Altitude Ballooning) enthusiasts.

regardless of if this text was written by an LLM or a human, it is still slop,with a human behind it just trying to wind people up . If there is a valid point to be made , it should be made, briefly.

Meteor was/is a very similar technology. And I did some fairly major projects with it.

Very nice to see, given I live within a couple of hundred metres of Watling St. (Cricklewood Broadway)

hmm. this looks suspiciously AI generated to me.

At last!

A useful comment on HN!

Great idea!

I wish I'd written this. Excellent. Everyone should read this

"The user is on a Linux armv81 platform but using Chrome on an Android device—that's odd because Android usually runs on Linux-based kernels, but the specific armv81 might be a typo or uncommon."

Unimpressive, it's a current Samsung. And I'm in London not Leistershire

Very interesting challenge. May need a slightly different tech. Stay tuned :-)

Another interesting suggestion to think about. Thanks.

Thanks, I'm in the UK, and US-UK shipping is horrendous, but I may give them a try.

Right now I'm try to find a longer persistence photochromic for the daylight version.

Interesting, I'll have to think about that. Actually, with rare earth paints, the big issue is persistence, which is rather too long. In the current script, I only turn the drum 1/4 turn, so it takes roughly 4 minutes to illuminate the same patch again. Otherwise the lowest digit tends to be blurred because it is a combination of the last two values.

I made a night clock with UV LEDs and luminous paint.

Get your own acronym right!

Good solution, too early. I made this 10 years ago and found myself having to explain what MQTT was before I could get people to try the platform.

I may yet have another go.

I liked meteor a lot and I built Thingstudio on top of it for making IOT ui's.

I'll give this a shot. Maybe I'm not too old yet. I don't turn 70 for another year

Ex Shazam tech here. The signatures that the Shazam app sends are very small, so bandwith costs should be minimal. Of course, I speaking about the technology of my day 2001+, so times may have changed
