Electroboom did this first, right?

Re: Show HN: Capacitor Alarm Clock
#23The perfect alarm clock would start lighting your life dreams on fire if you didn't wake up, cause that's whats happening anyway.

#24That sounds completely safe and healthy! Hmmmm, I love the smell of vaporized electrolyte, particularly when waking up!
I feel like a wire detonator would be safer plus the consumables would be cheaper however even then I doubt vaporized copper or aluminum is good for you. Honestly just roll some firecrackers and use the ESP to light them off.

#25Based. Unhinged. Don't try this at home. But it is also art. It represents the waste in our devices that play out over 1-4 years (or say a few weeks for a vape) but in one night. But yeah. Don't do it. Indoors? wtf!!!!
Oh no. I quite liked this until you said it was art that Represented something.
To be brutally honest it sounds like LLM speak to me. The account being in green doesn't help.
The line between an LLM being told to sound like an HN user, and an actual user who's adopted LLM lingo is... vanishingly thin at times. I myself accidentally find myself using such phrases, I can hardly accuse others.

#26Nice job OP, and thanks for the demo video! PS to others, keep your volume below 40%.
...I may or may not have jumpscared myself by cranking the volume up before the alarm time as it was so quiet.

I am human, to prove it I have laid down an em-dash below:

Just about anything can be turned into a bomb. Take a coffee cup, a smart watch, and 5 lbs of C4, and it could easily be turned into a bomb, for example.

#29Heh. I hoped to see a fully analog capacitor-based "movement", either a mechanical movement powered by periodic electric pulses, or maybe a device using split-flap displays powered by three highly precise, thermally-compensated capacitor discharge circuits.

#30There are some grades of electrolytic capacitors for which this is probably the only thing they should be used for.
