nimzoLarsen··on Show HN: Turning Hand Movement into Music
this is really cool, I like the UI and it sounds a lot better than I was expecting it to
nimzoLarsen··on Show HN: Snacker News; a hands-free HN. The more you eat, the more you learn
this is chaotic genius. Let’s keep the web weird
nimzoLarsen··on Show HN: Do a chin-up, save a cat (mediapipe and threejs real-time browser game)
this is unhinged and very cool, nice project
nimzoLarsen··on Show HN: Controlling a 3D globe with computer vision and hand gestures
live demo (webcam access required): https://www.funwithcomputervision.com/planet-explorer/

Built with cesiumJS and mediapipe computer vision

nimzoLarsen··on Ask HN: What tools do you use to discover competitors?
Searching on Reddit, twitter, product hunt
nimzoLarsen··on 3D model control using hand gestures and voice commands
That’s awesome. Can you import new 3D models?
nimzoLarsen··on Show HN: Psychedelic animation generator; (p)art of your next trip
This is so beautiful! The outputs are trippy and the music fits well.

Nice work

nimzoLarsen··on Show HN: Creating flowing particle animations out of images (JS and WebGL)
This runs smoothly even on mobile — nice work. WebGL is very neat.

I’ll be exploring your repo, thanks for sharing!

nimzoLarsen··on Show HN: Play brick breaker using webcam and hand tracking (open source)
Pretty fun — feels quite natural to play by moving my hand.

I noticed a bit of lag while playing on mobile (iPhone Chrome).

Nice work!

nimzoLarsen··on Investment Returns by Asset Class (1985 to 2024)
Interesting to see that both Gold and US large cap stocks returned +20% in 2024, when there’s usually a minimal (or even negative) correlation between those asset classes.
nimzoLarsen··on Meta removes many hate speech protections
Quite a shift in rhetoric since Trump was elected. Meta will probably realize big savings from this — apparently they have (had) 40,000 fact checkers
nimzoLarsen··on U.S. Stock Market Returns – a history from the 1870s to 2024
Neat charts. I know it’s a worst case, but getting a 0.5% annual return over 20 years would be pretty brutal.
nimzoLarsen··on Show HN: I designed an espresso machine and coffee grinder
Very cool work, would love to test this out. Would definitely need to see some videos of it working before thinking to purchase it though
nimzoLarsen··on Show HN: turn images into realtime forcefield animations (free and open source)
Love these types of real-time effects rendered in the browser. Nice work!
nimzoLarsen··on The Uneven Distribution of Canadian Income, Cash Flow, and Net Worth
With the insane growth streak that Canadian real estate has had, I’m not surprised that many households have decent net worth yet poor cash flow.

Lots of people bought households in Toronto / Vancouver for <$500k which are now valued at ~$2M. People are drawing on home equity line of credit to fund their lifestyles (vacations, renovations, new car, etc.)

nimzoLarsen··on The unstoppable rise of phone theft
I’m an American living in South Korea and am always shocked to see how locals will just leave their phones unattended — on the table in the restaurant or cafe while they order or use the washroom.

Remarkably, theft seems to be non-existent.

Here’s hoping it stays that way.

nimzoLarsen··on How does a one-person company earn its first dollar?
Build a tool that automates a task that people hate doing.

Share the tool on HN, Reddit, Product Hunt, etc.

Charge $x per month.

nimzoLarsen··on Show HN: Winamp and other media players, rebuilt for the web with Web Components
Beautiful work here and thank you for making it FOSS. Congrats on shipping!
nimzoLarsen··on Wealth of Nations: income, cost of living and purchasing power for 110 countries
Really clean data visualization work here. d3.js is always a pleasure to work with
nimzoLarsen··on Show HN: Teletxt (Vercel App)
Very cool, it’s a nice way of following the news without too much distraction. I can just glance at the screen every couple of minutes to read a section.

Would you mind describing the process / tools for building this?

nimzoLarsen··on Show HN: I made a maze game with stone paper scissors
Really fun idea! Nice work
nimzoLarsen··on Famous AI artist says he's losing million$ from people stealing his work
Copyright right violations, all the way down
nimzoLarsen··on Putting the "Person" in "Personal Website"
Absolutely agreed on this. We should all “embrace our mediocrity” and create things as we like — music, essays, art, etc.

It’s an innate human quality to be creative, so we should focus on that rather than external validation from like/upvote counts.

nimzoLarsen··on Show HN: turning photos into oscillating wave animations (JS FOSS project)
This is awesome. Getting some cool sci-fi styles with high frequency / low amp.

The opposite (low freq / high amp) gets pretty trippy.

Would be sweet for a projection at a rave.

nimzoLarsen··on SF Mutual Fund Exec Front-Ran His Fund's Trades
Rules for thee, not for me!
nimzoLarsen··on Musk: Take away the subsidies. It will only help Tesla
Pretty rich take, coming from the owner of Tesla and SpaceX who have received hundreds of millions in subsidies and preferential loans: https://www.yahoo.com/tech/elon-musks-spacex-tesla-far-17050...
nimzoLarsen··on Show HN: Turning photos into kaleidoscope animations (JS open source project)
Very trippy — nice work. Could see this working in music videos.
nimzoLarsen··on Show HN: Image Mage - remix and reimagine your photos (free / open source tool)
I ran some travel photos through this and it looks great. Good work!
nimzoLarsen··on [dead]
Another atrocity. This needs to end. Roughly 40,000 casualties since the start, including 100 journalists.
nimzoLarsen··on Nvidia hits $3T and surpasses Apple as second most valuable company
Over the past year, NVDA’s market cap has gone from roughly equal to Bershike Hathaway, now to nearly 4x.

The company is now valued at $3T. We’re living in interesting times!
