My system has a list mechanism as well. You can create a shopping list and add to it. Either scan barcode or AI Vision. You can add notes too, such as found at Target for $16.99 and Walmart for $19.99. If the items you add exist in the inventory, it will have the breadcrumb to the items and the quantity. If not, they're added as external. You can also create a camping list, and add the things you need. When you pack and check things off, they are checked out from the system. When you're done, uncheck will check them back into the system. Another use for list is for projects. You can have a list for your workshops and keep track what is being used and what need to be replenished. One more feature I have that could be useful for your workshop is related items. For example, when you look up soldering iron, you'll also see related items such as solder, wick, flux. That way you don't forget.

This is a preview to show HN? I made an app that help me keep track of my home inventory. I try to keep it as simple as possible so I can stick to the process. The app keeps track of containers and items. Just like a file system, containers are folders and items are files. Of course you can have containers within a container. For example, my house has a garage. In it I have a rack of 5 rows by 7 columns of 27 gallon bins (https://www.tameru.app/tote-rack-planner). One bin has my power tools such as drills, router, bits, etc. To inventory a bin, I either scan the barcode of the item if it has one. Ninety nine percent of the time the result will fill in the title, description, and picture. If there's no barcode, then taking a picture and AI will give a pretty good title and description. There are other attributes you can have, but just a title and description from the scan is all that is needed. Once the items are in the system, I can search with keywords based on the title, description, notes, etc. If the same items are spread across multiple locations, they will show up in the result. Selecting one will show me the breadcrumb to the location: Garage->Tote Rack->Row4Col2->Corded Drill. I can select certain containers or items to share with different groups. My siblings can see my mitre saw, my friends can see my camping laterns. The app has a check out/check in mechanism. It keeps a historical track of who checked out, when, how many, and when they intend to return the items. Similarly, when checking in items, who, when, quantity, and condition returned. The history report is similar to the dot system in the article. I can get a list of what I haven't used more than, say two years, and consider selling or donating. The side effect is now I know what I have so I'm less likely to buy duplicates. There are many other features, but I'll have to wait for a show HN when my app is approved in the stores. I just want to share how I organize and declutter. Hopefully it resonates with others, like this dot system.

Would be nice if the output can be piped directly into Claude Code.

I think the author assumed things will be spread fairly across the board. I don't think wealth gain will be evenly distributed. The other issue I have with the article is that the author assumed unlimited resource to build the robots. Resources will be limited. Building those robots won't be a nice green field either. I think there will be a lot of dirty waste by products that will be a major health concern for the human.

Works well for us by saying, Alexa, announce ...

This was how I started with my son, who was also 10. Have him learned Scratch from MIT, learn how logic is constructed in a program Then I got him a couple of Snap Circuit kit. I know you said no kit, but this is just to learn basic circuit and electricity flow. Then we used a Raspberry Pi to learn Python. Once he's comfortable with Python a bit, I set up an environment to program micro controller, specifically the ESP32. I flash Micro Python on there and we started to program some LED string lights. Then control motors with H-Bridges. After that, it's onto robotics and anything we can get our hands on. I repurpose a baseball pitching machine to launch pickleball, with bluetooth connectivity to boot! All with an ESP 32, I can control the speed and rotation of the ball, which the original machine only had one speed and no rotation. It took my son about 2 years to get from zero to building robots. Good luck!

I'm in the same boat, except I recruited two people who are simi-techinical enough to at least know what are servers and services. I trust them with my computer and pw manager credentials. If anything happens to me, they will at least be able to provide credentials to any services, network, or devices I touched in the last 15 years. I hope that will be enough, or at least ease the burden.

As the saying goes, the best time to start is 10 years ago. The second best time is? Now. For me, starting a business is not a specific point in time. I constantly trying out different thing, asking for feedbacks. When I find a solution that solves the pain points for a lot of people, that's when it's time to start a business.

I try to repair as much as I can because I don't want stuff end up in the trash. If the parts are expensive, we need a way to source the parts from the non-fully functional units out there. From my experience, most people find the repair a daunting task and won't even think about it.

I'm trying out the demo and it's taking forever for just one small file. What do you recommend for a minimum system to try this out?

I think LangChain serves its purpose when you are new to AI and LLM and have to experiment a lot. That was my case. The landscape is changing so fast it is hard to keep up. With LangChain I was able to try different LLM and their features with minimal efforts. Granted, I haven't taken anything to production yet. But using LangChain to narrow down to the LLM you like, then you can use the LLM directly without going through LangChain.

Please don't get me wrong. You guys are doing great work. And I did notice the hard work you put into runes to make things better. My point is that, it feels like I'm just trading one complexity for another. Like most people, I am constantly searching for ways to do my job better.

Yes, UI component libraries. I just want to leave the UX to the expert and get going on the rest of the application.

I've been trying Svelte for the last couple of months. At first the claim was that it's not complicated like React because there's a lot less concepts to learn. And it's just using basic Javascript and CSS so those skill sets are transferable to any other job. As I use it more and more, there's more and more special way of doing things I have to learn: store, reactive variable, $, $$, etc. I didn't mind, sure I'm in Svelte's world. But the number of libraries is limited and it really slowed me down tremendously. Now with runes, it's just more "magic" to learn. I think that's the last straw for me. I'm done with Svelte experiment. Back to React land.

Does this means the Lightning is not selling as well as they thought?

Yes, I understand the content of the database is supposed to be on disk. But for the database to function and do its thing, it needs space in RAM. Like page swap and cache.

I wish the RAM could be a bit more, at least 1G or 2G, so I can have a database on there without having to ship my data to the cloud. Then the system can really run isolated as much as possible, for security and privacy.

Thanks for the summary! It helped me scan through HN faster and get back to work ;) We all should try to do this more often.

It looks promising, but I think it's a one sided solution. I would like to see something like Malloy crossed with CubeJS. We need a consistent and flexible language like Malloy and the interface that CubeJS provides: REST, SQL, GraphQL. The way I see it is business defines the processes. Those processes store and manipulate data in a storage. Business processes could change quickly so we need a way to quickly model and adapt to match. The analyst needs a way to slide and dice the data to optimize the business. The end user can get limited access to the data via an NLP interface, such as chatbot. Also, applications and RPA need to interface with the data as well. To make semantic layers work, I think we need to think holistically, not just making it easy for a group of users. It has to be for analysts, developers, and applications/APIs.

This is just my personal experience. My first son was able to read when he was 2.5 yo. I read Dr. Suess to him every night since he was 1 yo. At first I would read and let him finish the last word in the sentence, the rhyming part. One day I asked him to try reading the whole sentence and he did. I thought maybe I read to him so much that he memorized it, as I was starting to memorized some of the books. I switch to different book and he was able to read a few sentences. I tried a book we haven't read yet (higher level Dr. Suess's book) and he was able to read 20%. Taking turn on the pages made it fun and I tried to exaggerate some of the words to make it more dramatic, like CRASH!!!. Another thing I think help was that we put him to sleep with a radio station playing classical music since he was born, maybe even before that. Being a public support station, they tend to have sponsor promotions quite a bit, so my son was listing to classical music and people talking. I believe the music and the talking sound got him to be familiar with English phonic early, so when it comes to reading, the rhythm is not so strange. Sadly, with the second son, we had to split time with two kids and more work, we didn't do the same routine. He was barely reading when he got into kindergarden. But thank God he had a great teacher in 1st grade, over zoom she taught most of the class to read. My kids actually excelled during pandemic teaching over zoom. Of course we were there to help them along. I think reading is priority one for any kid. Once they learn to read, they are more independent, read menu and decide for themselves, read instructions to build LEGOs, read street names, really open the world to them.

Is this an attempt to collect taxes on business transactions that currently some are not being reporting with Venmo, etc.?

So the difference in cost between natural gas and ElectricAir is ~ 400/yr. And it costs $14,000 to install the ElectricAir system. It will take a very long time to break even. It will be very difficult to convince people with current working natural gas system to switch over.

I have similar issue. It started failing mid last year. Then it got more and more frequent toward the end of the year. Last month I got tired of reinstalling OS for the 4th time and got a new system.

I currently use Remix Prisma SQLite Mantine Keep it simple so I can move fast

Have you tried Free Plane(freeplane.org)? It's a great mind mapping tool.

I've heard about Obsidian for a while but never got around to using it. Does anyone know if I can take notes and highlight on a web page and include that onto canvas? That's what I'm looking for, notes close to the source as possible.

We couldn't get to any of the companies for a tour but I want to give a shout out to the engineer at Roblox. She was in a hurry and sorry we didn't catch her name. She over heard that my son wanted to take a picture in front of the office as she was leaving, but the security guard won't let us in. She was in a hurry to pick up her kid, yet still ran up to her office and got my son a Roblox mug and some stickers. He was ecstatic! Made his whole trip! Thank you again!

Thanks for the info! The kids are excited about these companies. I'm hoping to give them something to remember by and keep their motivation going well into the future.
