I didn't see a number for cycle life. That'd be my biggest question here. You can charge in less than 7 minutes but how many times before performance (capacity) degrades?

Fascinating 20 degrees C is huge. What's a fair bit of water? At what time of day and how long did you collect water?

This is a tangent but what was your journey into VFX?

Hi OP, this looks super cool. I remember hearing about this ( https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ ) many years ago but have never done it. Curious, what are the prerequisites for thi…

Do you have a good resource for learning what kinds of hardware can run what kinds of models locally? Benchmarks, etc? I'm also trying to tie together different hardware specs to m…

I am really surprised. I would have guessed that a Nobel Prize would be awarded to advancements in the field itself. Not for inspirations from it or to tools that led to advancemen…

Do you have a source for the vibrating windows? That is super interesting.

Also very curious to see how this compares to: https://www.semanticscholar.org/

Here is an open source tool for summarizing Arxiv papers: https://summarizepaper.com/

I'm really curious - how will this affect sites that monetize off of affiliate links and ads? It seems to me that AI summarization and overview will deter, at the minimum reduce, t…

I agree with the entrepreneurial DIYer aspect of it. But I do think sitting in front of screens all day screams for a longing for nature. Also I think there might a counterculture …

Apologies for the late reply. I have set my limits on HN use in the settings. :) I took Permaculture New York PDC class ( https://www.permaculturenewyork.com/ ). It was all online …

I am surprised and not surprised to see this here. I often see themes of burnout, wanting to get back to nature, existential questions surrounding tech and similar here on HN. I to…

This made me laugh, thank you!

For my analog fans and family. Check out Blackwing pencils. Get the sampler or the 602 (most popular).

This is hilarious. Thank you for the laughs.

Is anyone else excited purely on the basis that this isn't a hardware product from Apple, Google, Samsung, Amazon or some other large company? I know little about it, but it looks …

This is awesome.

Sadly I agree. I've seen this a few times in Silicon Valley. You take an open source project from here, take another one from there, take some code from someone's Github, forget ab…

I definitely understand this point. Another alternative is Python (with numpy, scipy and matplotlib) using the Pycharm IDE. It has many of the features you're talking about.

How is their approach different from Tesla's?

Holy shit, this is awesome.
