And that’s exactly why we added 1000 watts of solar to any vehicles’ roof rack here at DartSolar. We created and aftermarket roof rack so any car can add solar. More details at https://dartsolar.com

Ask HN: Fun Multiplayer Games for Browser

Posted by somid3 on Tuesday December 31, 2024 @12:32PM
from the ask-hn dept.

Hi HN:Do you play any quick non-intellectually intense (i.e.: not 2048) games online with some multiplayer features? I sometimes find myself tired from programming or working and need a quick game to break the routine.I want to avoid reading the news or jumping on a social media app. Does anyone have recommendations?

I love this! Just signed up for your early access. All the material you write is spot on. We've had experiences with cold email and it works wonders, it is great to see someone tackling this head on.

The real problem is that Google Ads and Facebook Ads are 80% bots that just click and leave. If you track the behavior of ad clicks it looks super bot-like. Email and other mechanisms to read your human audience are massively necessary.

Ask HN: Using AI to identify natural flow of a video interview

Posted by somid3 on Sunday October 13, 2024 @08:20PM
from the ask-hn dept.

Hello HN,I am a somewhat of a noob when it comes to video editing — but I am masterful at software development, and would like find (or create) a technology that allows one to figure out during a video interview which scenes were edited to placed later in a video.For example, during an interview — like the one that vice president Harris had with CBS recently — it should be possible to use the...

Well, in Iran the Islamic Republic feels threatened by Baha'is. Most people that hate Baha'is is because they feel threatened by them. For example, Baha'is have no clergy. So all clergy will naturally feel treated as the Baha'i population grows -- that's just an example

Search for the Baha’i Lotus Temple of India. It’s also beautiful

This is not 100% correct. Baha’is have many groups that hate them and write dismissive articles such as these. Take a look at what Baha’is have done in countries fighting for human rights — and that is every right

I personally like the quotes on love, what love is, and what it claims about the time-space fabric that is this reality

It’s very broad. Baha’i.org is a good start
Re:How the Creation of the Bahai House of Worship Changed Architecture... on Friday June 07, 2024 @02:15PM (#40611330)
For those not familiar with Baha’i temples or houses of worship, lmk. I’m a Baha’i in case anyone has questions. Fun fact… do you know who introduced Steve Jobs to Wozniak was a Baha’i? It’s the only tech related thing I could think of when I wrote this. But Baha’is are pretty progressive towards tech.

Sure, that’s about right. 60 miles a day was a bit conservative. GPT thinks you can get 100 miles per day.
Re:Show HN: I built a 4000 watt solar array on top of my Tesla (AMA) on Thursday January 11, 2024 @10:17PM (#38963235)
You're correct. My first build was with wood (TERRIBLE idea). Wood is too weak and it weights a lot. The 440 watt panels wouldn't work, it would break. The carbon fiber telescopic tubes also broke.

Beta2 is made with 3d printed parts, carbon fiber, and aluminum. I also have to keep EVERYTHING (including the roof rack and panels) less than 165. So the 4000 watt version is being built now. The 200 watt panels are about 30x60 inches, the 440 watt ones are 47x82 inches -- so it still fits on the roof. However when the 9 panels are opened the overall device goes outside of the shadow of the car.

The 4000 watt model is as if you opened your doors... it would extend that far.

Personally, I'll take the more utilitarian angle and get the lightning. I love Teslas but I love that the F150 has an onboard inverter to power your tools and can power your home if you have the correct charger/inverter
