He's an hardware engineer, not a software engineer. After many years of self-hosting an email server I also came to the realization that it's not worth the hassle (in terms of maintenance / problems) and I switched to Proton Mail. Using a custom domain with Proton Mail is not free (and all the other alternatives I know of are the same) and there's little advantage other than having a nice name. I think for a HW Engin…
I wouldn't recommend self-hosting email to anyone, but the expense of paying Proton Mail is absolutely worth the peace of mind (you are in control of your email & can effortlessly switch email providers) and professional appearance.
We're talking about someone handing out $17/ea business cards here.
Re: Ultrathin business card runs a fluid simulation
#103Very nice, but probably a bit too expensive to just hand out. I knew a chap that had a similar hardware business card (I don't remember exactly what it did, but it wasn't as cool as this one). I remember that his card was pretty scuffed up, and he insisted I give it back, after he handed it to me. Bit weird.
How much does it cost? The guest passes for hacker conferences are full-on computers these days, if this is in the same price bracket it would be a great idea for those.
I don't know, I struggle with a light switch, but that doesn't look like board someone took home with a box of parts and a soldering iron to make at home.
Are there services that you can send the BOM and board files too, and not only do you get the PC board back, but it's populated? Will they do that for a onesy-twosy thing like this?
Then all you have to do is supply the battery and download the firmware (however that is done).

Yeah but I guess they wanted to add something in the value for everyone of us while they didn't have ofc the whole knowledge to do so. their heart might be in the right place tbh. But that's my 2 cents.
ChatGPT actually puts your comment’s value at about 3 cents - darn inflation!
Loved it!
Oh I am more than ready to sell it for 3 cents if you want to buy.
Cash or card or heck, even klarna lol ?

>But that's my 2 cents. Or is it really ChatGPTs 2 cents? Copy-pasting LLM responses is as useful as posting a "let me google that for you" link. It's a lazy response at a minimum.
It’s better than that because it includes the content - more akin to searching and putting the result you find in the comments as a guess. The anti AI HN comments are the new anti Bitcoin - your replies are much worse than someone sharing the gpt output.
I would disagree. It's been shown recently how over-use of AI impacts cognition; "use it or lose it" mostly. I immediately ignore any "I asked ChatGPT..." comments because I do not know the prompt used, if the claims were verified by the poster, or the quality of the sources. If you want to offload your critical thinking to a black-box model, be my guest.
A google link at least allows me to verify sources and use my brain.

#106Amazing project, but the font on the back of the card is gross.
That’s cred, man. Real cred. Wack font. Circuits exposed. Pixels with fat borders between them. An ugly charging port. But more stuff, packed into a small sleek volume than reasonably possible. Working perfectly. That’s not Jobs. Oh, no. It’s effing Woz. The guy is a true hardware engineer.
It sort of reminds me of those research professors that have received multiple awards and their website is an unstyled HTML page with 4 links

#107I was expecting a regular business card where the paper was so thin it flowed like fluid.

#108The typical Chinese sources have been selling "digital hourglass" type ornaments that work like this for a while. There was a whole game based on this sort of thing back on the Acorn Archimedes: Cataclysm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Byyz1Vlv8w It got remade for the 360, but the original was regarded at the time as surprisingly impressive for the machines it was running on.
Is there a Digital Disco Ball?

Yes, I’ve done it for a batch of 10 with https://jlcpcb.com/smt-assembly for around $10/board including the PCB
Re: Ultrathin business card runs a fluid simulation
#110No issues mentioned with battery being exposed on both terminals? Seems like easy short hazard.
Is a cr2032 shorting it is not dangerous, it can’t supply the current to get hot enough do any real damage.
