Show HN: Presidential polling with instant electoral resultsHi HN!This is an experiment with low-friction, "fearless", Internet-based polling. There is no authentication, only a captcha and restriction to US IP addresses. Congressional district is detected automatically. Selections can be changed at any time until the poll closes, kind of like a presidential caucus. Just tap to select. Tap again to change.I built this after pondering about how polling (or even voting) could be improved through technology. Yes, digital voting is a tough space with trust issues. Maybe there are practical, partial solutions.This is my third post. Earlier submissions didn't perform well, probably because politics is a sensitive subject. However, this project is not political. It is about tech and process. I believe it's an appropriate submission for HN and it ought to be interesting no matter your political leaning. Hopefully with this better framing there can be better discussion.Another way of looking at it: if the poll results bother you, think about how improvi

Ask HN: What is the misunderstood difference between X-Windows and Wayland?From what I understand Wayland has been slow to gain adoption because it doesn't provide some necessary capabilities that X11 provides to application developers out of the box.My understanding is that application developers are required to write these themselves and that not all developers have the inclination or the resources to do them.The analogy I can make is with the Windows Hardware Abstraction Layer which provided standardized interfaces to device drivers so developers wouldn't have to deal directly with the quirks of the devices themselves. Microsoft set a standard or some requirements they had to fulfill and device manufactures had to meet those standards for them to be to Windows "certified".In this case instead of Wayland providing a standard application interface developers can write for, the application developers have to deal with window elements at a lower level.Can anyone explain to me what the fundamental differences between X11 and Wayland in this respect?What newer b

Ask HN: Is Cookie Pop-Up Protection a Good Idea?On my Android phone I've been using Duck Duck Go's browser for a while. By default it visits sites "incognito" and aggressively purges cookies.Of course this results in sites not remembering your (GDPR) privacy preferences which would in turn result in those pesky pop ups every time you visit a site. To mitigate this, DDG offers a feature to automatically handle the popups: When DDG detects cookie pop-ups on sites you visit it can automatically set your cookie preferences to minimize cookies and maximize privacy, then close the pop-ups. Technically, it's far from the simplicity of something like DNT header, but it works reasonably well on a (small) majority of websites. I think this is because those websites use a standardized dialog, the remaining sites still require manual interaction with the pop-up.What I've noticed recently in my own behaviour is that I tend to dismiss or ignore search results that DDG's pop up feature doesn't recognize. I.e.: I have a bias toward preferring sites

How to bulk delete emails from GmailJust saw a post about a service that provides, among other things, bulk email deletion on Gmail; but you have to give them access to your account (Yeah, that's a NO for me dog). Coincidentally, not so long ago I was talking to ChatGPT about how to do just that (I reckon that ChatGPT has read every manual and API documentation in existence). Anyways, here's the tutorial that it gave me and that I have tested.Steps:1. Open Google Apps Script (drive.google.com > new > more > Google Apps Scripts)2. Click create scripts.3. Write the Script: function deleteOldEmails() { var threads = GmailApp.search('older_than:1y'); for (var i = 0; i < threads.length; i++) { threads[i].moveToTrash(); } } This example deletes emails older than one year (older_than:1y). You can modify the search query for different criteria (e.g., label:unread, from:specific@example.com, before:YYYY/MM/DD).4. Save the Script.5. Run the Script:Click the play icon to run the script. It will ask for permissions the first time.Th

Show HN: Build a conversational AI companion device for $10We built an open-source project Starmoon and are using affordable hardware components to bring AI characters to real-word objects like toys and plushies (or even your talking fridge). With voice to voice models sounding more and more human every day, a cool use-case would be to take the conversation away from screens and personify real-world objects. For our project we use an ESP32-S3 microcontroller with a mic and a mono-speaker to keep the cost at $10. We are fully open-sourcing our frontend, backend and firmware so you too can get started and create and customize your companion device. Appreciate any feedback below, it will help us improve :)
