fredrickd··on Show HN: Fastest vector database made in NumPy
love it. vector dbs are so bloated and unnecessarily expensive/complicated for very little return.
fredrickd··on Real-time map of every Starlink satellite in orbit
Starlink.sx is really great and has a lot of data I haven't added yet. Working towards getting coverage hexagons + ground stations + more asap.
fredrickd··on Real-time map of every Starlink satellite in orbit
Great suggestion. I'll add this as soon as I get the time. Being able to color code each shell would be super cool.

fredrickd··on How to build a chess engine
For sure, ChessProgramming.org is one of the best resources out there.

Wrote this just trying to be a bit more of a straightforward guide to how to really get started - hard to sort through how many strategies there are out there when building an engine :)

fredrickd··on How Discord Won
I think you're right but you're wrong.

The thing that Discord is missing and is failing at is that it doesn't have any sort of a friend graph or social structure. Discord users want this sort of Reddit anonymity where people are semi-social but not really.

Discord isn't a social app and Reddit looks like where Discord will grow to, not mass market, not super data heavy because there's no friend graph and structure.

fredrickd··on I built a lay-down desk
Fascinating.

I guess you have to find a low weight VR set though.

I completely get it because of how easy it is to get lost in the VR experience and forget about the outside worlds. Seems great for productivity. Might have to try it out sometime.
