news.ycombinator.com Pedro Lopes 2025-08-11 00:21:40

Earlier this year I saw a Tech Ingredients episode where a laser gimbal automatically tracks drones and shoots them down. I was fascinated by their motion control mechanism, specially the usage of a PI Controller, a high-frequency clock Teensy microcontroller, and their integration with custom hardware and a machine vision powered tracker. Soon after I was researching the underlying electronics and how to experiment upon their concepts. The most obvious microcontroller to drive these would be a

Another top executive has quit Tesla as the automaker continues a dicey and high-stakes spiral. The Wall Street Journal reports that Troy Jones, Tesla's vice president of sales, service and delivery in North America — its largest market — suddenly packed his bags after 15 years at the company. It's unclear at this point if the decision was his; at Tesla, heads can roll depending on the whims of CEO Elon Musk.

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR The latest JerryRigEverything teardown looks into the durability and reparability of the Nothing Phone 3. Scratch resistance is nothing to write home about, but the phone withstands bending quite well. Getting the rear glass off looks a little challenging, but past that, disassembly goes quite smoothly.

CNET's key takeaways I've been using Google's Pixel 9 Pro for months. I like its solid overall performance and quirky new AI skills. The element that stands out most is how easy it is to use.
