Juicyy··on FTC Pushed to Crack Down on Companies That Ruin Hardware via Software Updates
cricut needs to be investigated for this.
Juicyy··on Gender gap in tech jobs narrows across advanced economies
My classes were like 30:1 or worse male to female. Gender gap being close will always look like hiring bias to me...
Juicyy··on Asahi Linux project's OpenGL support on Apple Silicon officially surpasses Apple
Only 20-25% of Apple's revenue is services. about 50% is iPhone about 8% for Mac and 8% for iPad. They're a hardware company.

Juicyy··on I spent 3 years working on a coat hanger [video]
Patenting this for her portfolio maybe, I can design and print a folding plastic hanger in 1 piece in less than 24 hours. A mold not far behind if i reached out to a shop... you raise an interesting point I think gets asked in nearly every YC interview. How do you build your moat or stop any big players from competing with a very similar product. I think she actually misidentified the problem she was trying to solve. In her case, imo, her "secret sauce" would be the space saving clothes rack/furniture AND matching hangers. There is no solution with her hanger in normal clothes racks. so her hanger product actually serves no purpose.
Juicyy··on Launch HN: Radical (YC W23) – Autonomous high-altitude solar aircraft
AWS has this its an 18 wheeler called "snowmobile" literally a mini data center on wheels for transporting.
Juicyy··on Launch HN: Radical (YC W23) – Autonomous high-altitude solar aircraft
its very feasible with satellites and drones run by DARPA or USAF. Even helicopters use IR and "night vision". the sensing systems are expensive
Juicyy··on Launch HN: Radical (YC W23) – Autonomous high-altitude solar aircraft
the main cost is labor. Airbus probably has >1k people working on that project.
Juicyy··on Tesla Bot Update – Sort and Stretch [video]
very easily. here is the lecture from my robotics course. Amazing professor. Dr. Sodemann was the best I had in my lifetime. https://robogrok.com/1-2-3_Cameras_and_Color.php

Its actually easier than you would expect! you can use a process in image processing called "thresholding" where you basically filter the RGB or color values. Its very common and a little "hack" on compute. Computers "look" at images or video by converting the camera data into large matrices. Red would be 1 matrix, blue another, green another. Instead of this, you typically convert it to black and white but you can do any color you want, depending what youre looking for. This reduces your compute from 3 matrixes to 1 and makes your functions exponentially faster. Someone can help me on O(n) notation lol.

Juicyy··on Show HN: Pyflo – a free, interactive guide to learning Python
you should add some metadata to your site. specifically a description at the minimum. "Free, interactive guide to learning Python."

Juicyy··on Toyota Touts Solid State EVs with 932-Mile Range, 10-Minute Charging by 2027
new CEO... new priorities. How is the top automaker on top? making good moves.

Toyota has been correct that hybrids have been the best setup for the past 10 and next 10 years. Charging infra is catching up but a major bottleneck. Range too.

lmao too realistic /s
Juicyy··on Netflix loses 1M users in Spain over password policing
They can run all the models in the world but it only takes one misunderstood factor to underestimate the fallout. I think they want the other streaming services to follow suit (like Apple with the AUX) but if the others dont bite, Netflix screwed themselves. Most of their users feel betrayed at a time where competition is more than ever. You dont have to be smart to understand its not a good move.
Juicyy··on Lessons by 3blue1brown
true for most of calc and a lot of electrical. Institutions failed to discuss why you need to do things. so much of it is here is Taylor Series or integration by parts. but nobody really knew what the application for this stuff was. just follow some rules and plug in some numbers.
Juicyy··on Downtown San Francisco Whole Foods Closing a Year After Opening
Thats not a good argument when you take the fact that Sweden has the same population as Michigan.

fwiw more swedish people live in the US than in Sweden.

Juicyy··on Less gym time, same results: Why ‘lowering’ weights is all you need to do
Upper body strength is a lot more than pull ups. To me, pull ups are a back exercise (lats), upperbody is a lot more than that. Chest, delts, traps, tris, bis, forearms. Very different workouts when your prioritize a muscle group. This was my goto for years. https://www.bodybuilding.com/exercises/finder/?
Juicyy··on Less gym time, same results: Why ‘lowering’ weights is all you need to do
Not only that, people are using their bias and "expertise" in this thread to make claims which are total BS too... The top comment talking about how calisthenics are the best because thats what they do, this guy doing the same thing. "this lift bad, my lift best, that machine bad, swoll bros laugh at you if you use that." This guy acting like the leg press is bad is another dumb thing ive read on this website. The best workouts are the ones you enjoy and can stick too. Curls (dumbbell, barbell, concentration, reverse, preacher) are a great exercise for growing and strengthening biceps and forearms.

If you read hacker news for exercise science youre in the wrong place.

Juicyy··on If you die in the game, you die in real life
Remember when Palmer turned out to be the person funding alt-right internet trolls spread memes supporting Trump's propaganda all over the internet for months?

Palmer gets shit on a lot for a reason.

Juicyy··on T-Mobile will start charging a $35 fee on all new activations and upgrades
"usually" should not pertain to utilities like internet, electricity, calling, etc.... the US is the worst western country when it deals with scams in cell and internet service
Juicyy··on SpaceX said to fire employees involved in letter rebuking Elon Musk
Their stock is down 40% YTD that is not explosive growth.
Juicyy··on Qualcomm wants to buy ARM and it may need Samsung's help
Why dont they go public? after the nvidia fell through i cant imagine qualcomm acquiring them. It seems like ARM is in a really strong position for the next decade or two. Would be an instant BUY rating by most brokers IMO.
Juicyy··on Ask HN: What's the best resource for existing programmers to learn JavaScript?
Mate, "learn JS" is a little too vague. There is A LOT in the JS world so you need to narrow down your focus. It depends on what youre doing but reading docs, youtube, udemy, blogs, freecodecamp, theodinproject. all great resources.
Juicyy··on I only care about the helpful notifications, not the promotional ones
Better yet, Apple sends me news notifications for apple news that you have to pay for.... Who the fuck thinks its a good idea to send you notifications blocked behind a paywall... cant even comprehend the logic in the microtransaction, pay to win, notifications, paywall bullshit we see in mobile, tech, gaming, etc. I have had enough. Literally just deleted all that stuff. All i need is VScode and youtube.
Juicyy··on NFTank – NFT Faucet for Dummies
crypto friendly? i feel like since the nft stuff crypto has been a joke. Only an idiot would buy NFT jpegs. people are tired of being fed this trash.
Juicyy··on Passenger with “no idea how to fly” lands plane after pilot incapacitated
Ive been in the sim world for a while and i guarantee the good DCS pilots could make the move to real life flying with no problems. Combat, fitness, and the organization of the military would be the difficult part.
