Ask HN: Can we still run mobile computers off AA batteries?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40447333This question came out of a lunchtime conversation with some colleagues, none of us who work in hardware or embedded: there was a period of time, up to the late 90s, where certain mobile computers and PDAs could be run off AAs for a long period of time, with sacrifices of I/O, display fidelity, and storage. Examples at the end.Beyond size and aesthetics, is this possible today – or is this no longer possible?(For example, do modern displays hoover up too much energy? Do 5G, Bluetooh and WiFi radios constantly suck power?)Here were some examples of late-era portables that ran off AAs that we came up with:- the Psion palmtop series used a couple of AAs, plus a coin cell battery for memory; and ran for a week [1]– the Apple eMate, a Newton (ARM) in clamshell laptop form, which ran off 6 AA rechargable cells that could be swapped for off-the-shelf AAs, and ran for a week as well;– similarly, the AlphaSmart Dana (Palm platform on 68k/ColdFire) and HP 200LX palmtops (PC-compatible) could be

Show HN: Wikipedia Golf – find the fewest clicks between two random wiki articlehttps://wikipediagolf.fly.dev/Hi, I'm Rizqi, and I just made a web-based game, called Wikipedia Golf!What is the game, and how does it work? Simple. First, the game find two random Wikipedia articles--the first article and the destination article--and then you click links from the first article to another... until you find the destination. If you made it to the destination wiki article, then cool! If not, you can also give up :(.You can play this game alone, or with friends, by creating a room. After creating a room, the game will prompt you with a random six-characters code and you can make your friends enter the code to join the game. Mind you, the multiplayer feature is a bit rushed so forgive me if you find some bugs...This game is actually my first finished side-project (for real), so I hope you don't mind some bugs here and there. This game is also hosted on free-tier Fly.io and, additionally, it's my first experience hosting it to public with so many people so forgive me if you had a hard time accessing it.S

Show HN: Hedgehog (YC S21) On-Chain MPC Self-Custody Automationshttps://hedgehog.appHey HN, this is Colton and Jason Dillion, the co-founders of [Hedgehog](https://hedgehog.app), sharing the latest upgrade we've been coding: on-chain, self-custody wallets using secure multi-party computation ("MPC") to trade automatically in the background! Watch the [short demo](https://youtube.com/shorts/B4feHLdcZyM).We know HN isn’t always aligned on web3 projects, but we think this release showcases the best parts of web3, utilized with purpose, instead of being a buzzword justifying dumping our bags on retail. Plus, we registered with the SEC* for accountability, unlike many other projects out there, so you know our hearts are in the right place.Before we talk about some of the challenges we’ve faced to get here, we want to share some key benefits:- The wallets are self-custodial, so if our business ends for some reason, your wallet continues to live on, no migrations required. Pick up your private key shards and reconstitute the key or Snap into MetaMask!- Being close to the key

Ask HN: Idea Validationhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40314582Disclaimer - the goal isn't to build a fully fledged company from this. Rather build a project that developers/startups will find useful as well as generate some income for myself.I’m working on a project to streamline the setup of tech stacks for startups. There are countless free repos on GitHub designed to help startups hit the ground running, but they usually just give you the code, leaving a lot of configuration work to be done. My solution is different: I want to offer a unified platform that integrates with a range of 3rd-party vendors and automatically sets up their cloud environments using API keys or OAuth.The Vision: In my dashboard, users will provide the necessary API keys, and we'll take care of the rest, automatically configuring and deploying the entire tech stack. At the end of the process, they'll have a backend and frontend deployed on AWS, a working RDS, and everything fully terraformed. Think of it as a one-click solution to build and deploy a comprehensive, ready-
