There are shockingly few images of mitochondria available online.

I started a project to increase that number by 1,000,000x: https://powerhouse.breckyunits.com/

I'm currently mastering the same confocal fluorescence technique used in this image (but borrowing microscope time, as the scope costs >$250K), but also developing an at-home protocol using Janus Green that should cost less than $200.

The loading jokes make me lol. Browser Base looks interesting.

The actual roast wasn't so great, but I had fun trying. Nice job.

This is such a good rant, and I think you should develop it into an essay and I think there is an important catchy natural equation to mine here.

Why would they ever want to sell ads?

They did not get addicted to selling ads, have billions in revenue from paying subscribers, and don't have to wean themselves off of ads (as Google and Meta would love to do).

If they are making billions from subscriptions, why on earth would they want to switch to an ads business?

And what biological test can one conduct that proves this, and is unchangeable over time?

> much like other "chemical imbalances" such as ADHD or depression

Interesting that the examples you bring up are also things that turned out to be misunderstood and were not actually chemical imbalances.

> you appear to assume

Where do I appear to assume this?

Are you sure there is such a thing?

Yes. Turns out everyone should have just been eating fats all along.

New comment by breck in "How do you deploy in 10 seconds?"

breck — Tue, 29 Oct 2024 19:13:16 +0000

Let's take a conservative estimate of 200MB/s write speed on a Digital Ocean Droplet.

If your site is 100MB, write the new site to disk and read it into memory, kill the old server and bind to port on new server, in 1 second.

10 seconds, why not 1s?

We deploy in <1s. New sites, mods, small sites, large.

I like how it's open source and the site looks nice!

I missed at first that it was for aquarium monitoring. Makes sense!

I'm not the target market, but here's my user test anyway in case it's at all helpful: https://news.pub/?try=https://www.loom.com/embed/3e0de3dc94a...

Nice job.

Ask HN: Do you spend more than $100K a month on tokens?

breck — Mon, 28 Oct 2024 22:56:32 +0000

Would you be interested in trying a product that can improve accuracy while reducing token usage 50% or more?

breck — Mon, 28 Oct 2024 20:40:10 +0000

Wow, I had seen signs that Flutter was something special for years, but hadn't checked in a while.

Some relevant data:

- Over 165K GH stars

- Over 140K subredditers

- Over 500K YouTube subscribers

The 1M estimate is at least ballpark accurate.

New comment by breck in "So long WordPress"

breck — Mon, 28 Oct 2024 19:35:00 +0000

I'd like to take this chance to plug my new startup, the Printing Press.

It's like WordPress, but instead of digital, it's physical.

It requires no servers or computers at all.

Just paper, which you can make from naturally growing trees, and ink (I'm not sure how that is made).

Your blog will last a long time, like hundreds of years.

You can read it while sitting over your poo hole.

Visit our worksite and check it out.
