Hey HN, I've built a site to help discover AI research papers by categorising them into research topics which can be explored. Keeping up with the latest research is hard, particul…

Vow is a lab grown meat company taking this path. Last year they made a mammoth meatball that used mammoth dna with some elephant dna. I think this is a smart approach, allows them…

Of course winter does not happen at the same time throughout the world. Would be interesting to see if it does the same if asked in a language spoken in the southern hemisphere.

You can use log2ram [0] to reduce the number of writes to the SD card. That's what I'm doing at the moment and haven't had any problems with my SD card, though it has been in use f…

I'd guess vehicle dynamics

What about the (still in development) SAFE network?

Also the problem with GMOs is it transfers ownership of the plant from the public to the large companies that have modified it (as they will inventibly want to patent it). Is it re…

Ah, I had the exact same idea for a website after seeing the post on spleeter here on hn a bit ago. Just tried an mp3 and it works great! Even though you have beat me to it I think…

There are projects like Yggdrasil [0] and cjdns [1] which are encrypted, distributed networks. People will generally use these networks on top of the existing internet infrastructu…

Very interesting and exciting work. Michael Levin (one of the scientists in this study) has some amazing things going on in his lab. There is a few talks of him on YouTube, I have …

I use "Ian's knot" to tie my shoes [0]. I was so excited when I first learnt this, it is very quick to do and I like that the two loops of the tied shoelace sit flat and straight o…

Here in Adelaide (South Australia) I've found the buses have improved a lot over the last decade, usually right on time, only with the occasional delay (like 5-10 mins). There are …

I had just recently been reading about Arweave [0], a sort of distributed file storage that claims to permanently store files/webpages using various incentives. Seems like somethin…

I think we will start seeing more and more advanced composite 'metamaterials' being applied in the world outside of research labs. These are materials with engineered structures at…

I wonder though, after decades of study in numerous fields, how much would you actually be able to remember? No doubt some events in your life might stick around in your mind for a…

I use ddg as default search and find it perfectly capable. I tried that same search query and the first result is https://github.com/react-dnd/react-dnd/issues/236 Strange that the…

I am in my early twenties and I would expect none of my peers during high school would have difficulty zipping up some files. Perhaps I am just in that brief period of time where m…
