Show HN: Augmented Reality Knowledge Management for Facility Maintenance Teams
Hello friends at HN. Aircada is an AR knowledge management platform to help facility maintenance teams capture, retain, and transfer knowledge. Here is a link to a demo video showcasing the features - https://youtu.be/QXwTlNC3C7A

During the pandemic, we noticed that some technical achievements from Microsoft's Spatial Anchors were finally at a point of opening the door to adoption for a magnitude of AR use cases, that in the past, weren't a viable option. And paired with the processing power and lidar capabilities of new phones, it seemed location based AR finally wasn't a pain in the a%% to use.

Until now, QR codes and advanced computer based setups were required, and just were not worth the effort for most.

But now, all with a mobile device - scan an area, place AR content, then scan that area again and have it show up exactly where you placed it. Awesome.

However, there were still some problems with Microsoft's system. Locating AR content sometimes took 30+ seconds, and cost up to a dollar to do.

So we built on top of their system and managed to cut that cost by about 10x, and increase the speed of locating content by about 10x. And by doing so, the use cases that opened up were quite vast!

With our backgrounds in industrial automation, we set out to address the following problem - The growing industrial skills gap.

The US Department of Labor estimated the 50% of the US workforce was set to retire over the next 5-10 years. In utilities and manufacturing, where turnover is high, this is becoming a huge issue.

Imagine Bob, a senior maintenance technician with 35 years of experience, about to retire. When Bob walks out the door, so do many of his trade secrets in how to operate the facility. After speaking with several managers at these facilities, there is an eery since of panic approaching, where they are wondering how they will transfer Bob's knowledge to the younger generation before it's too late.

Meanwhile, when hiring the younger generation, Bob continually has to hands on train these new hires with the same knowledge over and over again, just to watch them quit a year or so later.

And this is where location based AR can show some real value. If Bob can capture his knowledge and place it next to the machines where it'll live forever, and be accessible in seconds from any mobile phone, it's as if Bob never actually left. Sort of like Obi-Wan Kenobi in the original Star Wars. New hires will be able to train themselves with the autonomy they so desire, while Bob can continue addressing the facilities larger issues.

Anyway, I appreciate you reading, and I'll finish with this - we'd love to hear your thoughts, feedback, and or any questions you may have. The market and use cases for what we've built it quite vast, so narrowing it down has been one of the most challenging aspects.
I personally don’t see a difference either. Dalio isn’t a programmer - he’s an asset manager who just tries to think in a systematic way. One of the reasons I like this analogy is that it resonates with me as a programmer.
GoDaddy has been rotten since the beginning. When I was in high school I had some domains and servers through them and GoDaddy shut them down because they thought I was using pirated software, which was a complete load of bullshit. Without warning, they obliterated all of my sites, storage and all. This was back in 2007.

One of my friends recently told me he searched for a domain through GoDaddy. I immediately cringed and told him he'd better get that domain on NameCheap ASAP if he really wants it. He went back to look for that domain and GoDaddy bought it and decided to charge over $1000 for it. The original price was peanuts.

GoDaddy shouldn't be used under any circumstance. If you do, you'll get F'd in the A.
I can recomend the mapy.cz app. It uses OpenStreetMap data but is much smoother than other map apps that I've used.
They still have to manage that money properly. Lifestyle creep can be really difficult to combat.
All of that only works for software developers that, at this point, are sleeping on keyboards.
Great Tex-Mex is something we take for granted here. It's everywhere.

The water situation is important, but that's part of one's research responsibilities. That's why I struck Llano from my list, for example. Their municipal water supply is the Llano River, which did dry up during the 2011 drought.

However, San Saba has the San Saba-Ellenburger aquifer underfoot which will never be stressed at current draw rates from the 6000 people who live in San Saba County. And the Hickory Water Conservation District which covers 55% of the county prevents that water from being removed from the district. San Saba is like the Garden of Eden in Texas due to the abundant and secure water resources. Drought literally doesn't affect us.

These are all things which are discoverable using publicly available data.
What’s the bad news for chicago?
I literally just grabbed 60 eggs from my chicken coop, came back to my computer and saw this hit the front page :D. Certainly agree it's not going to work for most people and it's a privileged position, but trends usually start from a small subset of the population and spread. I think the perception of working in IT is a great example of this... think of the movie Office Space, and then how companies like Google completely changed how we think about tech company culture in the early 2000s. Certainly Google was a well-funded golden startup, but eventually this ethos spread to much of tech.
I've been testing GOS on a Pixel 5a along side my iPhone. It works fantastically. Highly recommended.
People like me don't think they produce massive amounts of waste. I am well aware how "little" waste material they produce. The issue is not the volume, but that you only need very little of it to completely deny a large area to living organisms like us for a very long time. Also, the on site storage facilities for spent fuel are only temporary holding pools until it goes off to a treatment facility, to then either be reprocessed for re-use or to be disposed of. Safety concerns with this stuff are not necessarily about the short term storage. Not that there aren't any risks associated with that – let's say, for example, a nuclear power plant being shot at with heavy artillery by a certain military? That'll certainly do.

There's this mind-boggling hubris that these materials can be kept safe and controlled under all circumstances, for all of their decay time. Sure, burying it under that mountain or in a salt mine is going to help, until you find that the containers have corroded, and you've now got it in your ground- and drinking-water. [1]

Learning Japanese phonology from a written resource will always be a losing battle. It's alright for getting the most basic understanding of what the mora kind of sounds like, but one must practice with audio resources to improve their phonology. Pimsleur and Dōgen (on Patreon) are great for this.

It's super uncommon that you find written JP resources that go in depth about e.g. the vowel devoicing rules, or how っ works.
Yeah... that's about my logic. I know the person who's going to have to fight with it later, for sure.

I'm just wondering how bad a typical solar install is, that what I consider "sane and reasonable wiring I can visually trace without heroics" is worth mentioning specifically.
They were definitely lower when AirBnB launched, although most of the difference is gone nowadays (might vary by locale).

AirBnBs are also far more likely to have a fully equipped kitchen setup, separate rooms, and larger setups for families and groups, none of which are impossible with hotels but are definitely not very common.

I do think AirBnB generates way too much negative externalities for the value it brings, but there is value in it for the consumer.
I find it helpful to think of my emails as documentation. Imagining myself figuring something out months or even years later changes the way I write.

Yup. I'm all for paying fair wages and understand the overhead of travel time and idle time for small jobs, but still, $160/hr is way too much.
Let us work on it! Short answer is Neon is most similar to AWS Aurora - 100% compatibility with Postgres and all the innovation is on storage and serverless. The use case is core database for apps.

And Citus is shared nothing architecture plus columnstores. This means the use case is analytics or mixed workloads. Citus people should comment on this of course.
You mean the one that was founded a few years ago, and will be "out of business" (operating as a different company) before that happens?

I think our installer is likely to be in business in 10 years, but we have friends whose installers will certainly be out of business by then. (Guess whose installation appears to be riddled with substandard parts.)
The alternatives to index funds are either that ordinary middle-class people can't participate in ownership of companies at all, or that they have to pay extortionate fees to fund managers. No thank you.
I transferred from GoDaddy a few years back. I got tired of the constant attempts to up-sell me for services I didn't want. I went to namecheap and have been happy with their services so far. The UI is clear and pretty easy to use. They also support MFA for added security (GoDaddy did not at that time).

I've been playing with cloudflare recently, and just realized they also do domain registration and DNS hosting. I might seriously look at switching to them depending on hassle and potential benefit. But I usually like having dedicated registrar/DNS that is uncoupled from hosting.

Nope, it’s Monero.
One reason that's not happing is that most people in IT could easily afford a four or even three day work week. Given the current lack of qualified people businesses will be very reluctant to not get the maximum amount of work from the people they have.
"Please find a different outlet for your nationalistic lies" also probably counts as a personal attack. Almost certainly it is against the site guidelines, which call for the most charitable interpretation of what others say.
Update Zoom for Mac now to avoid root-access vulnerability
The point is we don’t know either way. Earth may or may not be a “Goldilocks” planet.

Also, the numbers above are based on the observable universe. We have no idea how big the universe is outside that region. It could be infinitely large.
>various religions has been destructive to vast majority of people.

The difference between the modern world and the world of yesterday is that we're the ones they aren't religious. I would argue it's the opposite-- religion limits you and forces you to be with your community. You have to meet them every week and sit with them, you are obligated to attend their weddings and funerals. The church was historically the center of life in the western world. It's the fact that that doesn't exist anymore, and there is no replacement. The church was a place the lonely could go to find friends, the odd and awkward could go to find purpose, the sick could go to find helpers. I'm not even Christian, but the role it played in yesterday's world was huge. It's because we don't bother to replace these institutions with modern equivalents that people have these problems
I'm not going to start a discussion about whether the legal system is corrupt. However, in this case, if the documents had been declassified, he would say that his lawyers have done so (this was an argument being made a few days ago, but it dried up because he hasn't confirmed that).
Namecheap says it only applies to Russian residents, not citizens. Did they fail to make that exception for you?
Who will develop new insulins under this model?

Biologics are not synthesized.
Isn’t that good for us worker bees? You can set more boundaries because employers have to fight for you

The model predicted a 1/5 chance that it turned out to be a good title, so those aren't terrible odds for a random chance. Although if this post does hit 100 points, I'll add an update.

That's the difficulty of interpreting the results of AI models and one of the dark secrets of DS/ML practicioners is that they don't always have the right answers, just the best-case scenarios.
A lawyer to challenge that bylaw is all I can think of. HOAs have incredible power with their ability to attach liens.

I wonder what their concerns are specifically, besides making sure the end result looks good. Do they also have an approved list of installers? That's a red flag for corruption. I once lived in a condo where you had to install a certain replacement window type (fine, sure, it should match) but you had to get it from one of 3 approved installers. My neighbors and I realized that 2 of them would give the same quote, and the 3rd would give a slightly lower quote. The installer that would give the lower quote would be round-robined, and it was always exactly the same "discount".
Article says it needs 5.1GB of Graphics RAM.

Does any one know how much data download and disk storage does it need?
I'm aware that "the context was crypto." Except when that's the context, non-savvy people need to learn what "diversification" really means, and it's not buying other cryptos, which is just a horrible euphemism for speculation. But if that's what you're really claiming, then—no matter the "context"—you're just scamming them into buying something that is far less "safe" than Bitcoin.

Bitcoin of course being the "safest" crypto, since it's so ubiquitous, and because no one person really controls it. Not so even for Ethereum, even though it's the next best thing to "diversify" into (read: speculate on) in regards to crypto.

I think the casual reader needs to know that distinction, lest they get a nasty surprise such as—oh IDK—Bitcoin dumping 80%. Because if it does, then all the other cryptos will most likely dump 95% or more. Or worse, go to zero like the "safe bet" Luna. And so much for "diversification!"

It's like that due how all crypto coins are high risk assets that are all highly correlated to Bitcoin. And so the correct wording for buying other cryptos should never be "diversification" but speculation.
100% - it's these occasional spikes which honk everything up. Google meets immediately assumes your internet is crap and degrades the client, you become a robot to your listeners, and recovery takes noticeably longer than the few hundred MS it occurred in.
Sounds to me like a convoluted way to say - unpaid time off.
It’s still pretty expensive, comparable to a mortgage, especially if you have a family. It’s a pretty major speed bump for folks just starting out in a contractor role just as a baseline expense.
The number of lonely, single women could be on the rise, but you are conflating loneliness with "lacking a romantic partner."

Loneliness was measured with the following 4 questions:

"Do you feel a lack of companionship?
Do you feel left out?
Do you feel isolated from others?
Do you feel in tune with people around you?"

Certainly many if not all of those needs could be met without a romantic partner. So it doesn't necessarily follow that the numbers must be the same between heterosexual men and women.
"Energy crops" are burned as fuel. They aspire to be carbon-neutral (and are often still fed a lot of petroleum-based fertilizer), not carbon-negative.
I appreciate the caution. We are funded by the FTX Future Fund (https://ftxfuturefund.org/our-grants/?_search=Anysphere). Feel free to look through our github (which is why we are open source).
I don't know, taking $22 billion to make a company worth $4 billion doesn't seem that impressive. It's just office space at the end of the day, what's so interesting about that? He just was able to grift his way into a fortune is what I see as the impressive part.
2 days a week in standups, retros, planning sessions and despite all that answering to questions like “are we there yet”.
Nowhere is safe. Make an offline list ahead of time, try each domain one by one, and register them the moment you've confirmed they're available. Save your payment details to your registrar so you minimize the time between the search and registration.
Did forums vanish from cognition? Though I guess newsgroups also died out from common perception or get lumped with similar tech (email).

Fully asynchronous: letter, email, newsgroups

In between: forums (you're reading one now), IRC, Slack/Teams Chat, any other sort of text-chat server, (SMS/RCS/iChat) text messages

Real Time: voice / video call, conference, in-person meeting
> A few vendors got upset that I had their name in the address

When it happens, I say "this is because your company is so important to me that it has its own mailbox to be prioritized accordingly"

It worked every single time :)
No one makes you do that, you can build it from scratch natively for each platform.

It's been well known for a long time that anything with JavaScript will be quicker to create right now, but there are significant downsides later on.
How does that essentially differ from unpaid leave?
I got estimates to replace alternator for Mitsubishi Montero Sport in Seattle area for $330. It took 40 minutes to do it yourself, first time, while reading instructions, using only one wrench on a parking lot of apartment complex. If I had to do it again it would take me 15 minutes. $160/h for plumber work is very reasonable price compared to $600/h for mechanic work.
>I'm not going to start a discussion about whether the legal system is corrupt.

That's good, because that'd be very, very stupid.

>However, in this case, if the documents had been declassified, he would say that his lawyers have done so (this was an argument being made a few days ago, but it dried up because he hasn't confirmed that).

Kinda hard to do if part of what they took were documents concerning that, isn't it? You see the nature of the problem here, I hope.
You know all that stored carbon gets released as soon as the plants are burned for power, right? As opposed to PV panels which can replace fossil fuel consumption.
Willie Brown, once the mayor of San Francisco, had this to say about e-mail: the 'e' is for "evidence."
The magic technology is that it's not following the bluetooth spec. It's a custom spec that works remarkably well, because it's reasonably scoped and not written by a multi-corporation-for-profit SIG.

Their dongles for wireless audio work like magic too - as close to zero latency as I've found in wireless computer headphones.
Eh, just that this guy ALWAYS spams their site. Hasn't done so in a while, then started up again a day or so ago. See link in GP, and then also:

Yeah the difference is enormous. My US-manufactured panels are warrantied to lose no more than 0.5% power output per year for 30 years.
Back in high school we'd transfer photos, ringtones, and games between phones through Bluetooth. It worked reasonably well for the time. Photos from those early camera phones weren't very large, wallpapers were less than like 250x150 pixels usually, and lots of games were a meg or less.
> Oyster tongers work on their own schedule, with no boss, getting paid in cash based on their daily harvest. [...] Profits are based on market price and how hard you work. There’s a cowboy romance to the independent industry.

My family oystered on the Chesapeake. Some still do. My childhood was spent playing through the ruins of the oyster house we built on the point, past its heyday and abandoned by the time I was born.

Can attest to how much of a long game it is. You make moves for five years in the future, and reap the results of what someone did five years ago. And the profits or losses are largely born by you: not many oysters subsidies for not harvesting...

And it has always been contentious. Often violent. About what you'd expect if your savings account were a sack of money sitting next to your mailbox. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oyster_Wars

But it's also a beautiful way of life. The old timers know more about the nuances of the coast, contours of the bottom, and tides than I'd imagine would fit into a human head.

And, for now, my 97 year old great uncle still takes his skiff out and tongs every now and then. (Knock on wood)

And here's encouraging people in the Apalachicola region, or those interested from afar, to act for the next decade. Apalachicola Riverkeeper and Chattahoochee Riverkeeper are good places to start. https://www.charitynavigator.org/ein/593550426 https://www.charitynavigator.org/ein/582095413

Now that the Florida lawsuit is resolved, hopefully the tristate area can get back to negotiating a comprehensive plan in good faith.
But looking for a red book on the red shelf is much harder than looking for a red book on the 'history' shelf, or even on the 'second from the top in the front room where I saw it last' shelf!
In the example listed, the only difference is a pay cut and the cut isn't that large. Which is also a far cry from usual gig workers which definitely do not get paid anywhere near FANG salaries.

I do think if this transition were to happen, there would have to be far more regulations and standard benefits when it comes to part time workers. Which is also very unlikely, at that point it's far more likely universal basic income becomes a thing than part time workers being treated anywhere near as nicely as your L5 FANG (again example from the article).
Yes, I completely agree. The author should have applied it to his "odds of success vs extent to which you consider second order and subsequent consecuences" graph and saved everybody the time.
it really depends on how you use it. i had non-android phones before. (even openmoko). calling, sms, taking notes. those phones had less apps, but they worked. so the question of "how much harder" is really a question of "what apps to you need". today i am on android (/e/) because there are a few android apps that are absolutely essential for me now. but if i didn't need those specific apps, then any other system would be just fine.
In SRE roles I've been in it's often second-order issues that plague software. In many ways, things boil down to process and what value/principles each process delivers and operates on. Misalignment in that space can be causal to a great number of things. Explaining second-order issues tends to be difficult as well, mainly because due to their nature there's often incomplete data to work with, so solving them is often piece-meal.
A simpler way to do this is to append the company name to whatever gmail you're using e.g. if my email is bob@gmail.com you could use bob+amazon@gmail.com. No matter what you put after the '+' it'll still get sent to you
I would surmise that a greater normalization of part-time work could increase the size of the workforce or at least not decrease it as much as you think. Just looking at parents, there are a ton who drop out of the workforce because they don't want to work full time and care for kids. Or, some people never jump into a career in the first place because of the barrier.
>But no. I knew how it looked: I was a 45-year-old woman who had caught Covid at a BTS dance party. I had just shared Instagram selfies from a crowded club filled with K-pop fans. I could hear the social media trolls already: Was I irresponsible? Getting what I deserved? These were the questions spinning through my own mind.

And here I am feeling awkward about going to clubs and stuff in my thirties.

Do you girl!
A root fact of my philosophy is the unrefutable claim that I exist, and am alive, so the 1 in 10^22 seems very reasonable.
