chrisMyzel··on Ask HN: Connect to the Internet the old way during next Ethiopian lockdown?
Starlink at the current point still requires nearby ground stations. These might be in another country but the satellite has to see both the client and the ground station at the same time.
chrisMyzel··on Scrape like the big boys
We are seeing a lot of bot traffic too but chose to accept it as reality. We are aware if thousands of bots create unpredictable cost surges that there is something wrong with our product, it should not create such heavy loads to our servers in the first place to fulfil it's mission.

I believe the future will make us more free by using more bot / AI technology since who wants to spend their whole day in front of a computer and research information if machines can do the job just fine?

chrisMyzel··on Show HN: DNS-based alternative to Semantic Web – 23M data points now in DNS
Thanks! You may signup on [1] but you’ll need to wait still to use it.

On NUM: I like the idea of building open graphs, but to move the needle it gotta be easier for business owners to provide that information. Lots of orgs use let’s encrypt some of them update their dns records every 90 days with a dns challenge. If there was to be some way to use a process like this (with a companion tool) to get business info into NUM records it would help adoption. I find the idea of calling a domain, sending money to a domain compelling I have to say.

chrisMyzel··on Show HN: DNS-based alternative to Semantic Web – 23M data points now in DNS
I was totally aware that you’ll be asking this question and it was intentionally not said, sorry :)

EDIT:

it’s due to the workings of the agent that we do not need to index the internet to use it

chrisMyzel··on Show HN: DNS-based alternative to Semantic Web – 23M data points now in DNS
It’s agent based - while currently we store the results of a search query (to present them to you), with our tool an agent will go and browse the web for you, looking up what you want.

The project is focused on repetitive tasks on the internet. It’s not intended to replace one off searches but rather to build datasets/tables/graphs on your query.

One off search: best pizza in Berlin

Our usecase: show me the best rated salami pizzas sorted by price in Berlin

Whereas you’d visit each website with a one off search and go through their menu (and TripAdvisor ratings) we’d serve you a table/graph/written summary…

chrisMyzel··on Ask HN: What is the best privacy-focused video doorbell?
A camera wired to a monitor & a classical doorbell - for u asked ;-)
chrisMyzel··on Show HN: DNS-based alternative to Semantic Web – 23M data points now in DNS
Is a semantic web that failed because it was too complicated for businesses to setup established by letting them setup DNS records?

I’m working on making the web semantic (on your search query) by using large language models which is more equipped for reality since businesses can keep doing their websites as they want

chrisMyzel··on Space Companies at Y Combinator
After having go through sales calls with planet.com this looks very refreshing to me !!
chrisMyzel··on Space Companies at Y Combinator
I’d show something real on the site - like the even shittiest prototype would make the web presence more believable - getting to your site makes me enjoy your idea but I don’t see real people working on something, I don’t believe you’d been able to help me since I’m just immersed in a story without a product
chrisMyzel··on Space Companies at Y Combinator
Well…Space is decided upon by C-Level Execs whereas your website for example speaks to developers. Try speaking space and list some real advantages.
chrisMyzel··on Show HN: Paper to HTML Converter
(HTML->Mobi is totally possible)
chrisMyzel··on Show HN: Paper to HTML Converter
This is amazing! Will make my (offline-only) Kindle finally display scientific papers. Took a random link of arxiv and it worked like a charm, including TOC. will this be OS'ed?
chrisMyzel··on Neorg: Neovim 0.5’s answer to modern life organization
Cool! The reason I sticked with org-mode was org-roam which changed my usage from a single document to a whole zettelkasten system and I love it. Any plans on linked documents?
chrisMyzel··on The Cerebras CS-2 wafer-scale engine (850k cores, 40 GB SRAM)
So is this an available product? Everyone hates 'contact sales' 'get a demo' websites - what's the price, what's the spec, where can I order?
chrisMyzel··on In Praise of Open Source Textbooks
I remember seeing a (trained) image-to-text approach that claimed to translate scanned math equations to latex sourcecode. Might be 3-4 weeks ago here on HN.
chrisMyzel··on River Runner: drop a raindrop anywhere in the USA, watch where it ends up
Beautiful idea - unfortunately it does load forever for the calculation to compelete on the website(at the moment). Found out about the city of Sibley, Minnesota now by Wikipedia and it seems pretty flat xD
chrisMyzel··on 25 Gbit/sec residential FTTH in Switzerland [German]
People over in Germany struggle to get access to Fiber AT ALL. This country is so much sold on dying technologies...
chrisMyzel··on World Beer Index 2021: The Cost and Consumption of Beer Around the World
Germany prices on the supermarket (or even on a corner Kiosk) are much cheaper - you'll get a Beer as cheap as 0.25$ for 0.5 Liter bottle
chrisMyzel··on Disqus, a dark commenting system
"disqusting" - thanks for the article!
chrisMyzel··on Request for Startups
Is there a word for the feeling that comes up (in some) when reading such a list and having too many ideas so none of them will ever happen?
chrisMyzel··on Ask HN: How should I test all potential combinations of user actions?
EDIT: sorry this is the wrong link =) https://netflix.github.io/chaosmonkey/

Theres a similar chaos tool that simulates random user input

chrisMyzel··on Syntropy Stack – The Future of Programmable Networking
Is this completely open sourced? I'm a bit confused by the join waitlist CTA, though sometimes OS offers hide a bit their github link to promote their paid hosted service, in the case of syntropy stack I can see the waitlist directly beside the github link though.
chrisMyzel··on Show HN: Offline-First Personal Kanban
The correct translation for German Language is "Deutsch" instead of "Deutsche"
chrisMyzel··on Ask HN: Recommend books that give you insight into other professions
I'm a software dev and run my own company but would love to run a japanese noodle restaurant one day (I'm caucasian haha). Any good recomdtns?
chrisMyzel··on A look at /e/OS on the FairPhone 3 – a FOSS OS for phones [video]
I love to see any project that aims to end smartphone duopoly craziness - but seriously, he's trying to end the dependency of a central google account by replacing it with an /e account as the first step? This does not make any sense and is so contradictory to the idea that I did not look any further into the project (some while ago).
chrisMyzel··on Ask HN: What are your go to SaaS products for startups/MVPs?
I see people signing up - unfortunately this is pre-mvp for until next monday. Happy if you reach out to chris@myzel.io for more info, pricing, etc.
chrisMyzel··on Ask HN: What are your go to SaaS products for startups/MVPs?
shameles plug - founder of myzel.io here - we're about to launch a platform that combines all the things you need as a startup in one platform.

As a simple example: Your startup is about tracking corona infections? You'll get the service built (no dev/design team needed), you'll get the services you need integrated (let's say kafka cluster, push notifications, analytics dashboard) and we host, monitor and scale it. All you need is an idea!

Love to see you all posting your favorite services. Following this

chrisMyzel··on Ask HN: Web development with just a laptop? (no external monitors)
I use a tiling window manager all the time, my X1 Carbon has a 2k screen so it's totally doable
chrisMyzel··on Ask HN: If not Apache NiFi, what would you use?
If you are completely ditching the graphical approach you'd consume your data producers and work with that, you'd throw your files into a S3 Bucket and it gets picked up - all those would require custom software to be written
chrisMyzel··on GoGuardian on my sons school laptop
It should be possible at first to deactivate the microphone and camera completely. Thr camera can be obscured with tape. This sounds scary and I cannot help you with the legal advise here, but filing a complaint (even though you might feel strange after receiving a "free" laptop) might be an idea if thats applicable in your country. In order to find out more about possibilities, can you describe the laptop? What model, company, does it run windows, are there things on the computer disabled, that would be accessible on your personal computer like system settings?
