jonnyreisson YC Demo Day: I mapped out every YC company on an interactive world map

I found a bug --- when I click on a circle with a number, the map correctly zooms in to the area and shows the companies, but when I zoom out, I am unable to load companies outside of that area, e.g. I clicked on SLC and saw the companies there, but I see no companies outside of SLC when I zoom out.

jonnyreisson Barcelona Supercomputing Center

I found this on Atlas Obscura before a trip to Barcelona, and I was able to set up a free tour with them via email. I love the contrast of the computer against the shell of the old church, and it immersed me further into my Dan Brown book character LARP.

jonnyreisson Show HN: Shimmer – ADHD coaching for adults, now on web

jonnyreisson Ask HN: Is OpenAI going to be the biggest company of all time?

> If someone was sufficiently motivated, they could probably dethrone OpenAI in 2 months with enough funding.

I'd argue Google is sufficiently motivated to dethrone OpenAI --- so why haven't they? They have plenty of money to throw at the problem as well.

jonnyreisson Self-driving Uber car kills Arizona woman crossing street

Unfortunately, this is a design that is pretty common in many of Tempe's major intersections. I pass through a similiar intersection biking home from ASU and have had multiple close calls with human drivers.

Anecdata: The times I have interacted with one of Uber's autonomous vehicles at this intersection, they tend to hit the brakes pretty hard as they are about to enter the turn lane and I am around 10ft behind them. All of my interactions with them, however, have been during the day, and it was unclear if it was the human driver in control.
