This is an incredible video - thanks for sharing. Couple notes for those like me who are new to the speed running world: * The goal here is to get through a particular level as fast as possible. Not to kill enemies or get points; it's

> I hate that Chromium’s snap takes more than 10 seconds to load on cold boot on a freaking SSD, whereas .deb and Flatpak apps load in 1-2 seconds. Can someone verify this? As someone who will eventually upgrade to 20.04, this is concern

I don't know if there is an equivalent. The beauty of conferences are the unscripted, chance encounters with other attendees. I gave a talk at last year's PyBay (bay area python conference) and the magic of it was in the side conv

Brandon and Ishmael are awesome people, y'all. I remember sitting down with them in the early days; excited to see all the progress made since.

With COVID-19 here, I imagine in person training has been affected. Can you talk through some of possible solutions at hand for the environment we're in?

No need to go that deep to experience it. Dive 20+ meters and you'll feel it.

Yep, citizen effort here as well in Oakland. Me and a couple folks created https://www.lanelookout.org to do precisely this. We got a lot of support from our local code for America chapter, OpenOakland.

I own an ebike (Ancheer) and a escooter (Xiaomi) as well; cool to see your analysis here. You're dead right about ability to handle bumps. With my scooter, I will watch the road in front of me very carefully to scan for rough areas; th

Awesome questions & comments thomzi12. 1) Possibly. It's not something we've explored though I am told by many pet owners that getting them to stay still is a challenging task. 2) I might disagree with you there; we're tr

hanniabu, this is an excellent suggestion. We were thinking about a chin rest (like what you see at an optometrist) but we didn't like how constricting it would be. I do like the idea of a headrest embedded with some sensors, though.

It doesn't matter if you move after the scan, so long as the orientation of your head is the same, you're good. You do need to stay pretty still during the cut and we have the screen + camera up front to assist you with that.

eplanit, right there with you. There's a couple variables ahead in our list (precision, speed, repeatability) but cleaning up the hair will eventually get added to that list. My hunch is we'll start exerting tighter control over t

Great point rajeshshamara. Here's how we're defining the time involved in getting a haircut: (1) Time spent making an appointment (2) Time spent going to the barber (3) Time spent waiting the while barber is finishing their existi

Awesome questions, I appreciate the curiosity. We're using the stock force control software and plan to tweak it soon. I couldn't tell you how it works under the hood. We use mannequin to test and then, other body parts [0]. Long

Agreed. That's our system that keeps track of whether you stay still. It's a little too sensitive and needs some tweaking.

This is the not the 'e' edition. I think the 3e's cost around ~$24k. The standard UR3 is discontinued as far as I know.

I see your smile but I thought I'd answer anyways :) A while. We've had folks ask about it and we're going to stay away from it for now for the obvious reasons. Close to 50% of all haircuts are clipper cuts so we think there&

Hi ASalazarMX - no it couldn't. We have software constraints around speed and position. Additionally, there's hardware checks that shut down the arm if it moves too fast and/or encounters too much pressure.

Hey HN I'm the founder behind this. I'm a guy and I'm tired of: * Waiting for a haircut when I book an appointment. * The inconvenience of only having one barber that knows our style, especially when I'm traveling for wo

Ten years ago, in grad school, I co-wrote a video conferencing module in VHDL [0]. I haven't touched HDLs since but here's what I remember very clearly from that project: * It took > 3 minutes to compile our code. * DMA made a

I've been to three of these and would highly recommend attending. It's a great way to network with others and also get a taste of the YC mindset.

I segmented the beginner crowd into two cohorts: side project folk and operations people ducktaping zapier+airtable, etc. The former does not have budget, the latter does (small businesses, early stage startups).

I'd be easy on them. They're still in their early days and want to exercise control over who receives the product. They probably have a good idea about who it's a fit for and who it isn't. Additionally, they probably wan

We're still figuring it out is the honest answer. Here are some learnings from this past year that address some of your points: * Robotic arms are getting better. They're becoming easy to interface with (I programmed the arm in th
