thyselius··on Ask HN: Where can I find pornography that is in the public domain?
Pleeeease tell us why you want that
thyselius··on U.S. will suspend all travel from Europe for 30 days
I'm trying to find more information about this, as I'm a tourist visiting the US flying back on Sunday. Does anyone know how this will play out, will they keep flying FROM the US to Europe?
thyselius··on About Bokeh
Someone should mention the oval shaped, very cinematic, Anamorphic bokeh. Bokeh is not just the shape of blurry small light sources, but also changes the quality of any out of focus region, since the blur is doubled vertically compared to horizontally. A good read on the subject with images https://www.provideocoalition.com/three-lenses-a-look-at-bok...
thyselius··on I Got Access to My Secret Consumer Score
Wow, that's a good point.
thyselius··on Goodbye, Flash
This is how I code html nowadays, positioning divs using js, works like a charm.
thyselius··on Ask HN: What is your goal in life?
I got to think about this for months after I made a hit ios app (everything is relative but should be fine economically for many years).

I landed in something like "creating things that humanity hasn't yet created."

Ideally this should be real technical inventions or scientific discoveries that makes our lives better or extends the knowledge of who we are.

However I'm not smart enough to even start doing this within say nanotechnology, physics or cosmology.

I am now working on a science fiction film that also aims to raise awareness about ai security (very indirectly but still). If I can contribute to that discussion starting in society at the same time as I'm doing something I love, and people can enjoy watching, I'm very happy.

thyselius··on We need a nationalised alternative to Facebook
Could it be built so that the user data was encrypted / hidden / not usable for the developers?

(And open source so we could all know for sure this was the case)

thyselius··on Tempe Police Release Video of Uber Accident
If you could it would be very valuable if you did a test at that location and shared your experience
thyselius··on A note on programmer salaries
In your new company, do you/would you split the revenue evenly with devs you hire?
thyselius··on Show HN: Short-term rental estimate for sites like Airbnb
Quite accurate estimate on our apartment in Stockholm, Sweden (we rent out sometimes at a slightly higher price than estimated)
thyselius··on $80k/month App Store Scam
Be careful, I once got this from Apple (they had misunderstood something about my app)

"Deliberate disregard of the App Store Review Guidelines and attempts to deceive users or undermine the review process is a direct violation of section 3.2(f) of the Apple Developer Program License Agreement. Continuing to violate the Terms & Conditions of the Apple Developer Program will result in the termination of your account, as well as any related or linked accounts, and the removal of all your associated apps from the App Store."

thyselius··on A year of digging through code yields “smoking gun” on VW, Fiat diesel cheats
I don't doubt it's this big mess you are describing, but if the engine is actively looking for test/not test and does things like turning off particle filtering after 30 minutes of driving because it knows any test will be over, it seems to me the intention is in fact to lie about the real emissions.
thyselius··on How Bayesian Inference Works (2016)
OT question: I am merging (calculating the mean of) 16 short exposures of a night photo with high ISO in order to remove noise and get wonderful night shots.

Now I'm just averaging pixelvalue = (photo1.pixelvalue + photo2.pixelvalue) / numPhotos

Is there a way to make this smarter with a bayesian approach? I'm thinking it couldmake a smarter guess what the actual pixelvalue should be rather than just the average.

Any ideas would be appreciated!

Interesting, do you have a read more link?
thyselius··on AsciiMath – An easy-to-write markup language for mathematics
I would love to have the opposite, get the code from writing maths as it is printed. Has that been made?
thyselius··on Drug 'reverses' ageing in animal tests
Any indication on how much it could affects ones lifespan?
thyselius··on Building a Hackintosh Pro
I built a crazy fast Hackintosh using the intel 8 core 5960x CPU. 17000 on Cinebench. However I sold it a week ago.

Being iOS developer really sucked, as I needed to upgrade OS X for Xcode but the CPU wasn't supported with Sierra for 6 months.

Also I spent at least 2 weeks of work on it during the year I had it. So not worth it. But there are slower cpus that are better supported. It was fun the days it worked though:)

thyselius··on Runner Disqualified After Claiming 2nd Place in Fort Lauderdale Half Marathon
Isn't this what many entrepreneurs does in their PowerPoints? Fake it until you make it.
thyselius··on Where has my disk space gone? Flame graphs for file systems
What does it do?
thyselius··on How to build the next Trello and sell it for $425M or more
So, what startup ideas can we create from this?
thyselius··on Charles Bukowski: The Slavery of the 9 to 5
I'm making enough money to live on from apps I released last year. I don't know what to do with my time. Freedom is of course wonderful but I don't _feel_ it, I often long for the office context of a good Swedish workplace. You need to feel you accomplish something every day, and (good) work does that.
thyselius··on Why Does It Take So Long to Connect to a WiFi Access Point?
Was hoping for an explanation to: Why doesn't it take a fraction of a second to connect?
thyselius··on Swift: Challenges and Opportunity for Language and Compiler Research [pdf]
Is it not possible to get multi thread compiling with swift in Xcode today?
thyselius··on Ask HN: What simple tools or products are you most proud of making?
I combined the best saliency detection frameworks with a aperture kernel to emulate depth of field and bokeh on iPhones with only one camera. (The app is free with watermark https://appsto.re/se/c3lxfb.i )

thyselius··on Ask HN: I'm priveledged, what should I do for a year?
Hi Mz, a thought — perhaps your theories can be presented in a video or lecture, live or filmed. This would possibly be good, fast, cheap alternative in order to get your movement started.

I wish you the best of luck.

thyselius··on Ask HN: I'm priveledged, what should I do for a year?
Hi there. Thanks, this looks intriguing. How could I help?
thyselius··on Ask HN: I'm priveledged, what should I do for a year?
Author here, something happened with the bullet lists line breaks, and the text can't be updated. Sorry about that.
thyselius··on Ask HN: Best treadmill to turn an existing standing desk into a treadmill desk?
Slightly OT but is there any other alternatives to moving while in front of the computer? Would love any ideas and hear about your experiences.
