This is a great talk - in particular I loved the cyclone shelter starting around 36:00 in the video - but all of his projects are spectacular given the severe constraints of that part of the world.

Hmmm... all the stories on the 647 sample issue are ones I had already read here on HN. So you are just curating the HN feed?

Seems like there would be a market for a universal adapter that accepts all the different batteries and plugs into all the tools - or at least several of the major brands. Kind of like an octopus cable but with some additional straps to let

Watching his Gresham talk (link in someone else's post) he represents the multiple cycles of the universe as cylinders connected at the round ends with time going along the central axis. He also represents the Big Bang universe as an u

That wikipedia page is rigidly policed by skeptics that pointedly ignore any and all progress especially over the last 10 years. You have to review their progress with an independent mind and evaluate what they have achieved on its merits.

It seems obvious that the Cruise vehicle should have detected it was going to hit the back of the bus and stop in time, but that can lead to overcautious driving. My 2020 Honda Civic has automatic braking to prevent crashes and it generally

Potatoes are most easily cooked in a microwave - just poke a few holes with a fork and nuke for 5 minutes on high, maybe another minute or two if the potatoes are very large. The best way to fry them is in an air fryer. We cut yesterdays co

One way to improve government services is to measure quality somehow like private corporations do. Then there is at least a number that can be optimized instead of just more or less spending. Subjectively as an expat Brit living in Californ

Inspired by your example I just had a go at creating a mountain climbing game in similar fashion and I agree it does well on the concepts but there are lots of bugs in the details. For example it referred to certain divs by class and id but

Out of interest I plotted my salary history from when I immigrated to the US from the UK in 1980 to 2018 when I retired. Data is from the SSA website (click the link for the chart). While I knew the numbers all along seeing it in graph form
