Apologies for the self-promotion, but I learned about the Pareto Front from this site a while back - and applied it to Mini PCs with https://minipcs.zip which plots Mini PCs based …

> there are dozens of no-brand options on Amazon and Ali that do 4K60fps I have to very strongly disagree with this sentiment. I have personally tested quite a few no-name "4K 60fp…

Ahhhhh I'm guessing that's a Device Pixel Ratio issue I completely forgot to consider (EG rendering 4x pixels than it should makes it slow, and the nodes smaller). I'll play around…

Thanks for the feedback - horrible how? It works fine on my Android but someone else said similar that uses iPhone, just not sure exactly what the issues was

I intentionally have them excluded - I guess because my use case is mostly gaming, homelab, plex server type stuff. But people use them for OpenClaw and whatnot right? I'll add em …

I've always worried about latency for that - but it's ironic since I regularly stream over dedicated WiFi to my Quest VR headset. I'll have to give it a try some time. If they have…

I have a desktop with a relatively powerful 5070 (I think) GPU for playing VR games. But my priorities for couch & controller games is not really around super high graphics perform…

Exactly - I just built myself a knockoff Steam Machine by putting Steam OS (might switch to Bazzite but so far real Steam OS is fine) on a $300 Mini PC and I'm super pleased with i…

https://luke.zip/posts/zip-defense/ I get asked this a lot, so here's my defense!

Fixed!

Oh good point - I was thinking more like "how hot is this deal" (and thus red == best) as opposed to just "good or bad". Now when clicking on the 'dealscope' button there's a littl…

Oh for sure - your feedback is totally helpful, I agree the colors are not obvious (especially red being good), perhaps my tone sounded dismissive but that was not the intention at…

For sure - prices are bizarre right now - though if you sort by memory, there's some holdout units that have like 32GB of memory for $250 (though other poor stats)

Colors are distance to the pareto frontier for the given setting for "dealscope"! Easily noticed when axis and color are set to the same dimension (EG CPU) - but setting to differe…

The overall idea is to chart out the thousands of Mini PCs by benchmark and reveal the Pareto Front so you can get the most Compute per Dollar. Definitely a labor of love as I have…

I made monkeys.zip - a project that was completely useless and reflects my interests and skills, and people have reached out with creative projects since

Not a bad idea - one issue would be when the circle approaches a 'narrow' section that widens out again. If too big to fit into the gap, the circle method would simply not count an…

> Another mistake is completely ignoring the ball and staring into the distance. I'm not entirely sure why, but I've seen it a bunch more with *rats* than anywhere else. In any cas…

I used PGLite for a project (monkeys.zip) and it was absolutely fantastic! Loved how speedily I could have a "real" postgres instance without spinning up docker. Worked really real…

Hmmm I think you're sort of right but not entirely. It's true that a novel consists of a valid organization of tokens, and that this sequence can be feasibly made to be output from…

> Unless your strategy is to create a photo-lab-like screen in pure black and red, or wear deep-red-tinted glasses, it’s unlikely that a pure colorshift strategy will cut out that …

Hey HN! About a month ago I launched https://words.zip - a little (infinite) word search game - it's been very slowly growing, but now has over 300,000 words found! Lots of cool th…
