Show HN: Trading cards made with e-ink displays 533 by jonahss | 181 comments on Hacker News. I made a thing! In 2014, I was holding a stack of iPhones and thought to myself: "Hey, if I had each phone display a playing card, I could click a button and they'd shuffle themselves" I pared that idea all the way down to this: trading cards made of e-ink displays. Right now, each card costs me about $20 each, but with only a bit more scale, I think I can get that down to $10. In doing this project, I learned how to design electronics and circuit boards. I learned Rust and wrote my first driver, I upped my CAD skills, 3D printed, and did my first resin casting. I generated the images on the cards using stable-diffusion. HN always seems to appreciate new uses for e-ink. Thought I'd share :)

Show HN: Using stylometry to find HN users with alternate accounts 634 by costco | 508 comments on Hacker News. Author here. This site lets you put in a username and get the users with the most similar writing style to that user. It confirmed several users who I suspected were alts and after informally asking around has identified abandoned accounts of people I know from many years ago. I made this site mostly to show how easy this is and how it can erode online privacy. If some guy with a little bit of Python, and $8 to rent a decent dedicated server for a day can make this, imagine what a company with millions of dollars and a couple dozen PhD linguists could do. Here's Paul Graham: https://ift.tt/JHUaMTc Here are some frequent HN commenters: (EDIT: Removed due to privacy concerns)

Ask HN: Azure has run out of compute – anyone else affected? 552 by janober | 306 comments on Hacker News. Last week we at n8n ran into problems getting a new database from Azure. After contacting support, it turns out that we can’t add instances to our k8s cluster either. Azure has told they'll have more capacity in April 2023(!) — but we’ll have to stop accepting new users in ~35 days if we don't get any more. These problems seem only in the German region, but setting up in a new region would be complicated for us. We never thought our startup would be threatened by the unreliability of a company like Microsoft, or that they wouldn’t proactively inform us about this. Is anyone else experiencing these problems?

Ask HN: Why isn't remote work advertised as a pro environment initiative? 544 by cpeth | 475 comments on Hacker News. No form of transport requires less energy than telecommuting. Why aren't there Zoom/MS Teams/Slack bill-boards on 101 and 880? Where is everyone's outrage at needlessly requiring people to move themselves into offices and the congestsion, waste, and environmental damage it causes?

Ask HN: Do you recall any book or course that made a topic finally click? 451 by curious16 | 313 comments on Hacker News. Sometimes it takes a book or a course (or explanation from a mentor) for a topic to finally click for you that you were struggling with for a long time. For me, it was Stanford's EE261 course that made Fourier Transform click for me. Here is the link: https://ift.tt/XSK5hRx Similarly for deep learning it was fast.ai courses. For programming it was How to Design Programs at www.htdp.org. Your topic of choice may be anything, not necessarily CS.

Show HN: I built my own PM tool after trying Trello, Asana, ClickUp, etc. 503 by tonypham | 351 comments on Hacker News. Hey HN, Over the past two years, I've been building Upbase, an all-in-one PM tool. I've tried so many project management tools over the years (Trello, Asana, ClickUp, Teamwork, Wrike, Monday, etc.) but they've all fallen short. Most of them are overly complicated and painful to use. Some others, like Trello, are too limited for my needs. Most importantly, most of these tools tend to be focused on team collaboration and completely ignore personal productivity. They are useful for organizing my work, but not great at helping me stay focused to get things done. That's why I decided to build Upbase. I try to make it clean and simple, without all the bells and whistles. Apart from team collaboration, I added many personal productivity features, including Weekly/Daily planner, Time blocking, Pomodoro Timer, Daily Journal, etc. so I don't need another...

Monumental (if correct) advance in number theory posted to ArXiv by Yitang Zhang 766 by gavagai691 | 229 comments on Hacker News. Yitang Zhang, the mathematician behind the 2013 breakthrough on bounded gaps in primes, posted to the arxiv today a result which (if correct) comes close to proving the nonexistence of Landau--Siegel zeros: https://ift.tt/PZ9cJQl . To give a sense of the scale of this claim: If correct, Zhang's work is the most significant progress towards the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis in a century. Moreover, I think this result would not only be a more significant advance than Zhang's previous breakthrough, but also constitute a larger leap for number theory than Wiles' 1994 proof of Fermat's Last Theorem (which was, in my opinion, the greatest single achievement by an individual mathematician in the 20th century). Some discussion / explanation of Siegel zeros and Zhang's claim can be found here: https://ift.tt/qAEiNVJ... https://ift.tt/CFDYs1T.....

Ask HN: Comment here about whatever you're passionate about at the moment 636 by mckirk | 350 comments on Hacker News. Hello stranger. It has occurred to me that one of the crucial elements of the early internet was the feeling that there was somebody out there, _somewhere_ on the globe, that was actually responding to that particular thing you were putting out there. It was a special feeling, because it was a sense of connection. Just being online and being part of the few select communities that existed back then was a commitment, and I believe that's in part what made it feel special. With all the world gaining access to the internet, I think we've gained a lot, but lost this sense of wonder: Since online interactions have now become commonplace to the point of para-social meaninglessness, any single post or message doesn't really feel all that _real_. HN is still the closest thing I know to that primordial kind of internet, and so I'm putting this post out th...

Tell HN: A hacker's life is in danger, your awareness may be life saving 627 by michaeltimo | 60 comments on Hacker News. It's been a month that Jadi (real name: Amir Emad Mirmirani), an Iranian geek, has been imprisoned in Iran's most notorious prison called Evin in Tehran. In Iran, he is one of the most famous people active in the field of programming and computer education. In his personal blog[0], he has been writing about technology and society for years. He has also a YouTube channel[1][2] to teach and encourage Iranians to programming and Linux, and a podcast[3] that has been explaining technology and science news along with his comments for several years. All this in a country with a dictatorial government where standing in the right place has a heavy price. His arrest occurred on October 5, a few days after the recent nationwide protests[4] began in Iran. Arrest at home with beating. The reason for this is not yet clear, but it is probably due to his efforts to ...
