Ironic (at least to me) that trying to go to the URL results in a message that I am blocked because it thinks I'm a bot. I assume for the same reason I get that from the NYT (because I tend to use a VPN... horrors).

At least they are both consistent in that trying to sign up for a subscription leads to the same message.

Curious if anyone here has tried rosebud.ai for something similar. I looked into it, and it did appear to break it down into steps, but can't really produce anything that runs without upgrading to a paid tier.

Ask HN: Yard Noise Cancellation Speakers/Systems?

EwanG — Tue, 20 May 2025 15:52:01 +0000

As summer is approaching, our neighbors on all sides are spending more time in their yards. That's generally a good thing, but it can make for a cacophony of children's voices and various music selections. I don't want to just crank up some music to try and overpower theirs, nor do I want to keep them from enjoying their own yards.

So I'm wondering if there is some kind of speaker or system I could put that would give us an area of the yard we can sit in and use "noise cancelling" for everything coming in without messing with their own enjoyment?

Have a handicapped daughter who I can't share a hike with since wheelchairs and rugged mountain trails don't go together well. Something like this would make sharing the experience quite a bit better - particularly with AR to allow us both to experience together (VR being a bit restrictive to just the person viewing and not the others there).

In mice, and also using a printed replica of a nasal cavity. It will be a while before we even see human tests, and I'm sort of curious how humans will respond to feeling their noses filled with a gel...

I'm not sure "The Matrix" was meant to be a How-To Manual... because this sure feels like the first step to humans in a tube.

Sounds very much like someone did some theoretical work that said at 34 qubits you can do something interesting, and then other nations started copying the restriction while trying to figure out the why...

I have to wonder how you could incorporate this into Sad Panda's CrushCrush or similar games. I imagine it would make their job of keeping content fresh easier.

Having done a couple indie games myself over the years, I think you're addressing many of the pain points of building such a game. However the REAL problem as an indie gamer is getting a marketing/get-the-word-out campaign such that said game produces enough income to cover the cost of making it.

Will you be adding a "marketing" add-on to this to help developers actually get their games noticed and played?
