My A11 Journey

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-12 09:34:48

23 years ago I was in a bad place. I'd quit my first attempt at a PhD for various reasons that were, with hindsight, bad, and I was suddenly entirely aimless. I lucked into picking up a sysadmin role back at TCM where I'd spent a summer a year before, but that's not really what I wanted in my life. And then Hanna mentioned that her PhD supervisor was looking for someone familiar with Linux to work on making Dasher , one of the group's research projects, more usable on Linux.

College Baseball, Venture Capital, and the Long Maybe

The Pitch Deck. The deck is often the introduction of a venture capitalist to a company, sent after a warm intro. For the athlete, the pitch deck consists of video and some metrics, posted on Twitter (the LinkedIn of college baseball). In both cases, the best story is (naturally) being told: they aren’t dishonest, but they also aren’t going to emphasize flaws or risks. In my experience, pitch decks are important, but not as important as the underlying business; similarly, terrific video of a bul

gizmodo.com Jason Coles 2025-09-12 11:10:19

You’ve had enough with vacuuming, and you should say it. In an ideal world, none of us would have to vacuum at all, but we’re not there yet. The good news though, is that those of us who can afford it can escape the slog of vacuuming daily, and instead palm it off on an adorable disc-shaped friend in the form of a robot vacuum. They can be pricey though, so you’ll generally want to make the most of deals when you can find them. See at Amazon Speaking of which, if you’re an Amazon Prime member,

The iPad Is Almost a Mac Now. Time to Finish the Job

What's a computer? It's whatever helps me get my work done. I love new ideas for what computers can be, but traditional work tools still win out. For my job, it's generally a PC or Mac. When I travel, an iPad is often convenient, but it's not the same, so I often bring both. The "why not both" approach is exactly what Apple has been pitching with iPads and Macs for years, but Apple has also been adamant that these platforms will never merge.

For starters the headphones has big, 60mm drivers, plus multiple wireless transmitters as well as Bluetooth.

You might think a pillow is a pillow. It just has to be soft and fit under your head, right? Your head, neck, and back disagree. Getting a good night’s sleep can depend heavily on your pillow, so when choosing one, here are a few key questions to ask. What kind of sleeper are you? Do you sleep on your back, side, or stomach? Do you stay relatively still, or do you toss and turn a lot? Do you usually have one pillow under your head, or do you cocoon yourself into a pillow chrysalis? This is prob

A wave of machine-learning weather models have been unleashed by some of the very biggest businesses on the planet. These challenge the orthodoxy of traditional physics-based computer forecasts that have been incrementally developed and improved over many decades. But are the machine learning models any good?
