Science Festival in DC this weekend
http://www.usasciencefestival.org/
The USA Science and Engineering festival is going on in DC this weekend; if you haven't been, there are over 3000 organizations involved in science education, outreach, and/or awareness meeting in one place. Lockheed Martin is one of the sponsors, and you can see their booths, but on the exhibition floor there are numerous kickstarter projects, robotics groups, universities, authors, educators, and companies with demos from the simple to the amazing, all trying to teach and interest the public in science and engineering.

It's pretty cool.

Here's what I've done today:

Eaten a marshmellow frozen in liquid nitrogen, flown an F-35 simulator, talked to 3 different 3d printer makers, learned about bubbles, played educational minecraft, found cracks in equipment using electromagnets, learned about thermally conductive materials, helped teach kids about sugary soft drinks, watched a seatbelt test, and there are many more things to do tomorrow.
Advice concerning rucx.com as a startup domain/brand name
What do you think about the domain rucx.com for a startup?
Will it lead to too many spelling issues?
Does the X imply pornographic content too strongly (which it shouldn't)?
Is it memorable enough?
Ask HN: Why not just quarantine old people and risk groups?
I am curious to hear your Corona solutions? My suggestions:

1: Only quarantine old people and risk groups (>65y or pre-conditions of lung/heart). They get free delivery everything.

2: Let others work and spend money, as long as they are not in crowds.

3: World War II style industry mobilisation: Government buys x% of hotel bedrooms and turns them into war hospitals. Increase capacity of life-saving things by factor 100 (eg ventilators, masks).

Meantime:
- Test 1000 random people per region, weekly, to get true death rate
- Don't forget negative consequences on health/additional deaths from increased poverty, if economy is hit too hard

Larry Was a Savage
Larry was a savage. A vagrant pauper living in a mud hut in the outskirts of town in a village in eastern Europe. The year was 1468 and King Augustus was a fair and generous leader. Larry was so used to hunting and fishing for food that he didn’t understand or appreciate the value of precious stones. One day, Larry was walking down the road when he heard two of the Kings soldiers plotting to kill the king. Their plan was to sneak poison berries into the Kings breakfast. Larry rushed to the King to inform him of the plot. Lo and Behold, the Kings men searched the plotters quarters and found the poison berries, which were promptly fed to the treasonous soldiers.

King Augustus, profoundly grateful to Larry, gave him several empty burlap sacks, and “shopping-spree” access to the royal treasury. Since Larry didn’t understand or appreciate the value of precious jewels, he mistook his good fortune for a punishment of slave labor.

He didn’t understand why the king was punishing him with forced labor of arbitrarily filling empty burlap sacks with heavy stones and rocks.

Luckily for Larry, the kings guards left him alone and unattended in the king’s treasury. Larry took the opportunity to slack off. He thought, “I can totally get away with doing almost none of this work they sentenced me to. I can probably slack off all day and go home with just a few stones in the bags and no one would be the wiser.”

Here’s my question for you…”If you had the opportunity Larry had to basically have a shopping spree in the kings treasure house, would you work your tail off every single available free second filling those sacks with precious jewels, or would you make sure your boss isn’t looking and check Reddit to see if any new cats learned to stand, or if any monkeys decided to pet a duck?!”
There is really only ONE reason for not succeeding. It’s Called, Undervaluing Your Time!
Show HN: Bogdle – Wordle-inspired Boggle-like game
https://bogdle.fun
Hey HN!

I made a word search game like Boggle, but inspired by Wordle's look and feel. There is a default Daily mode that finds a 9-letter seed word from a list and then generates all the English words found in it (the word list needs work, though, I know), but also a Free mode if you just want to generate random puzzles of different difficulties.

The source is on Github: https://github.com/michaelchadwick/bogdle. A somewhat more extensive write-up is at https://michaelchadwick.info/blog/2022/10/25/bogdle-is-live.

I had a lot of fun making it, and hopefully you will have fun playing it, too. Let me know what you think and if you run into any troubles.

Cheers!

Ask HN:  Why use hosting company instead of hosting your own website?
I recently set up a LAMP server at home and used DynDNS to point a registered domain at it. I found the experience so straightforward and satisfying that I'm currently wondering why people pay hosting companies (GoDaddy or whoever) to perform this service? What is the killer issue, bandwidth? Security? Support?

My sense is that for small-to-medium websites self-hosting is probably superior for lots of reasons. Am I missing something?

Show HN: Hear what you see: Neural net to convert video to audio
https://github.com/muxamilian/wysiwyh
WYSIWHY is a neural network that transforms an input video into an audio sequence in real time. It does so by compressing each image using an autoencoder and interpreting the resulting code as a frequency range.

This could potentially be useful for the visually impaired, helping with indoor navigation. It could also be used to transform an infrared or ultraviolet video to sound and thus enable one to perceive otherwise invisible colors.

In a usual autoencoder, the elements of the code vector are independent of each other. This makes subtle differences between adjacent elements of the code vector hard to perceive for humans. The resulting audio sequence would sound like indistinguishable white noise. For WYSIWYH thus an encoder is used which hierarchically structures the code, meaning that large differences in the input image result in large differences in the output code. This also results in adjacent elements of the code vector being correlated. This makes the autoencoder’s code more friendly to human perception.

Intel's mobile transition struggles are Microsoft's advantage
http://www.networkworld.com/community/blog/intels-mobile-transition-struggles-are-microsofts-advantage
the lag time between Intel’s design wins with device manufacturers and shipments is significant. Tablet shipments doubled and are expected to double again next quarter, but Intel hinted that tablet volumes would not grow materially until the fourth quarter when Intel Bay Trail processor-powered tablets reach stores for the holidays. Smartphones will have to wait for 2014, as indicated by SVP and CFO Stacy Smith:

"The short answer is, smartphones, it doesn't move the needle for us from a revenue standpoint as we've said; we're in the design win phase there."
