Ask HN: Will programmers write more efficient code during the memory shortage?

Maybe there will even be more interest in the invention and use of more advanced algorithms and data structures that use less memory?

Building a robotics research setup that lives next to my desk

2026-06-18 @ 14:51:53Points: 151Comments: 55

A few decisions I'm least settled on, and would love some pushback/feedback on:

- single arm vs. bimanual (I went single for cost/space, knowing it rules out things like folding cloth)

- not calibrating camera extrinsics/intrinsics for now

- RGB vs. RGB-D for from-scratch policies (ACT / Diffusion Policy)

And one I'm more confident about but expect disagreement on: not building on ROS 2 / LeRobot, and writing my own stack instead. Happy to get into the reasoning.

Show HN: Metiq: a real time 3D globe for 100 public datasets

2026-06-16 @ 14:43:38Points: 127Comments: 34

The goal was to build one interactive 3D globe where live public data could be visualized by latitude, longitude, and altitude. Surface data stays on the globe, while aircraft, satellites, and other above surface things can be represented in actual 3D space instead of being flattened onto a map.

The outcome is an interactive globe that showcases Earth, air, sea, space, cyber, defense, infrastructure, politics, and the list is continuously growing.

Majority of development right now is going into data filtering and deduping.
