ComputerCat··on Ask HN: Any hardware startups here?
We are building smart cameras for industrial automation and robotics. We are on our 3rd generation design with a 20.5TOPS Toshiba ASIC and Sony image sensors. A lot of sweat and tears have gone in the hardware and software design.

You can load AI models like YOLO, resnet, MiDAS onto it and we are working on porting some generative AI models onto it as well. We have tried to make this as easy as possible for non-devs to be able to use it:

We offer monocular and stereo versions. The current gen is 8MP/4K.

I like this, it feels calming to me, not attention grabbing or distracting.

ComputerCat··on What’s the strangest thing you ever found in a book?
Such a heartwarming story, thanks for sharing. Sad though how people's beloved possessions can be discarded after death.
ComputerCat··on What ‘The Jetsons’ predicted right – and wrong – about the future
Omg, that's hilarious!
ComputerCat··on A Brief History of Peanut Butter (2021)
Save yourself a huge mess and don't try using an electric handheld mixer to do the initial oil stir...I got peanut butter EVERYWHERE. It's a nightmare to clean.
ComputerCat··on David Foster Wallace’s final attempt to make art moral

ComputerCat··on In Remote Alaska, Meal Planning Is Everything
Wow, I can't imagine living somewhere so remote. I wish I was better at meal planning/prepping/organizing, but it's a work in progress. I also want to get into preserving, pickling, etc. I think since fresh food is readily available where I live and I have the privilege of usually being able to afford fresh produce I've lost touch with how to have a "cushion" in case of emergency (which is something I was raised with).
ComputerCat··on Emoji Kitchen
Oh neat! I feel like Facebook Messenger already does this sometimes where it combines emojis.
ComputerCat··on In Memoriam: Forgetting Your Password
Interesting read. I think something that bothers me more than trying to remember passwords (I have a system) is when an app or website won't let you see what you've typed! It's so easy to make a typo, especially on a phone and nothing infuriates me more than that "wrong password" message popping up when I can't even view what letters/numbers I've typed in before hitting enter.

This is so cute! I have all the collections and absolutely love Calvin & Hobbes. Definitely brings back some memories!

ComputerCat··on Being on call sucks
The only job I ever had where I was on-call was at a discount shoe store... it was ridiculous and unnecessarily stressful.
ComputerCat··on “No convincing evidence” that depression is caused by low serotonin levels
I can't access the full text but this is really interesting. I think with how fast paced all the advancements in the scientific community are it's crucial that things we thought we understood are continuously re-assessed and analyzed.
ComputerCat··on Magnus Carlsen to give up World Championship title
Wow, what an impressive run though!
ComputerCat··on Show HN: I made some ambient music generators that run in your browser
Oh wow, I like this!

Question: if I want to go back and change my selections from the first question about what I normally listen to, how do I do that?

ComputerCat··on Show HN: I fixed journaling for myself
Hmm I like the idea of prompts, it has always helped me when trying to think of what to write... but I also like the actual act of physically writing on paper. This is a great idea for somebody who prefers to work on the computer though!
ComputerCat··on Taking the Sting Out of Wasps
Hmm... I'd still like to build a time machine and go back and stop myself from accidentally stepping on an underground wasp nest... that was not pleasant.
ComputerCat··on Rowan Atkinson: Visual Comedy (1992) [video]
Wow, what a trip down memory lane!
ComputerCat··on Why long-term plans don't work and how to fix them
I think it's good to have a long-term plan and goals, as long as it's fluid and can be adjusted as new problems/solutions arise.
ComputerCat··on DIY Tool Storage Ideas (2017)
Hmmm I like the creativity but think I'd rather just keep my wrenches in their compact carrying case so I can take them wherever I need them easily...
ComputerCat··on Wandering Robots in the Wild
I'm imagining this feels like the first time you let your kid walk to a friends house - so curious, young, naïve, just wandering as you watch anxiously from the sidelines.
ComputerCat··on Saskatchewan, Ontario to roll out mini-nuclear reactors
Tried to read the article, but just kept picturing Homer Simpson
