I noticed that a very simplistic LSTM neural network model is able to learn very quickly all the rules of pronunciation ex:

- grapheme "EA" in “please” or "heat" is pronounced one way

- but grapheme "EA" in « death » or " bread" is pronounced in a different way

- but grapheme "EA" in "great", "steak", "break" is also pronounced in a different way In fact the neural network is learning the rules and able to guess the pronunciation of word it have never seen before.

This made me try to see

1- what is the minimal number of example the Model need to be trained with to learn all the rules.

2- What is the optimal sequence that rules must be learned ... This can all be discovered and measured easily and accurately by training the model with different training set. I believe this have never been done before, because experimenting with real kid is too slow.

We make the assumption that is something is easy to learn by an LSTM model it will also be easy to learn by a human. (turn out to be true)

There is a lot of design decision that need to be made about how to visually display "grapheme" and let the kid interact with them.

This is just a side project for now but I am in strong need of a UI programmer to partner with!

But in another way this could be a kind of overlay of information. Maybe it shows how words are split, maybe it's to disambiguate different pronunciations of "ea", ... I'm not sure what's the most important added information. But overlaid on the words it might be a kind of scaffolding that makes it easier for kids to successfully read words and gain the practice that makes it possible to remove that scaffolding.

There's a lot to think about there when it comes to reading (not to mention a ton of pedagogical knowledge)... I'm not sure I have the space to be a solid collaborator, but I do find this stuff interesting to talk about sometime...

I contribute to Optikey and was involved in OpenVoiceFactory in its first incarnation. Optikey is primarily QWERTY based but does supported the Communikate pagesets - more general OBF support would be a welcome PR! Coughdrop is probably a better fit for your needs, and is open source so free to self-host, though they do offer hosted plans for $.

Also what kind of art do you make? Im an artist working as a dev as well. I know we're out there but we're a bit rarer than I was expecting.

As for art I love watercolor, gouache, ink and brush. I trained professionally to be an animator so I love cartoons.

I have a 12 year old autistic son. He attends ABA therapy. I am also looking to create tools and apps that can help him communicate better. Also, he's very musical, so I am looking at better ways to help him learn piano (he loves Simply Piano but I want something that let's me define a custom lesson plan based on MIDI files of songs he loves).

I'll ask my wife who is a BCBA to share any studies related. The premise is symbols to help a kid reach from using symbols to letters/words. Right now they print a ton and velcro them to a board and communicate a complicated topic. There are apps out there but they kind of are lacking IMO and hard for a kid to figure out.

Make sure to do a Show HN when you get it far enough!!!

Have thought a lot about this space, too, and identified similar needs. Please connect via email in profile.

The goal: you (any programmer) should be able to use an open-source program, get an idea for a simple tweak, open it up, orient yourself, and make the change you visualized -- all in a single afternoon.

Lately I'm spending a lot of time thinking about the sandboxing model. I'm giving a talk about it at FOSDEM this weekend: https://fosdem.org/2022/schedule/event/lastmilesandboxing

As a concrete stress test, consider a file browser like Midnight Commander (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30137864). How would you craft policies for a file browser that give it just the permissions it needs to scan directories and open files, but prevent malicious code that creeps into it from scanning directories or opening files?

I expect if forks become more abundant that the need for trust will be a major driver of merges.

Increasing the number of forks is a long-time goal of mine. Check out the bottom of this old page from a previous project of mine: https://akkartik.github.io/mu1

The goal: a privacy-preserving, standalone fitness assistant on which you can load custom apps.

I always wanted a bicycle computer that I could program, which would help me not gethurt while training, and which would remember where I like to cycle. The modern ecosystem is full of devices, but I haven't seen a programmable one, much less one that can also survive for weeks on battery and wouldn't sell my data.

The moment has finally come, and I found a decent base!

I bought a Bangle.js 2 smart watch and a couple sensors, and have just started adapting it for this purpose. I'll need help getting the Bluetooth stack running, as well as creating an application to download and compare GPS trails.

The project is not formally announced yet, but feel free to contact me over email or Matrix (see profile).

Edit: obligatory mention of Rust as the preferred language ;)

The hardware is a little less to my tastes: the one I picked up has a GPS unit, plus a display that can stay on for days (weeks?) on a single battery charge, plus it's readable in the sunlight.

Otherwise I think there will be a fair share of software reuse between the projects.

Hypothetically, if I could access only the sites visited by the HN crowd, that would be fine by me. Somebody in an art community might feel similarly. If there were some metric the crawlers could use to rate a page (time spent on page, manually downvote, etc), then the signal/noise ratio would be really good.

Obviously if I wanted to do a really broad search, I'd use a typical search engine, but if it's tech related, I wouldn't mind pages that have been browsed by HN.

That might be a good first step towards what you're planning. Step two would then be figuring out how to do federated queries across users with similar interests.

From a privacy standpoint, I'd be less uncomfortable letting random strangers run (sanitized) queries against my browsing history (stored locally), than I would be uploading my browser history to a third party.

Take that idea and evolve it into a federated search service. If your site is in the "fishing" ring then your pages get indexed into the fishing index and the search widget on your site would potentially return results from all the sites in the same ring.

I guess I want SearchRing.

That being said, I think YaCy looks dated, the website has several typos, and I get the impression that not many people are still active in the network. I feel that a new project with similar technology in a "hotter" language (just for popularity's sake) could get a lot more traction.

I'm starting a static web host where every page is remixable by default.

One click and you have a copy of any web page hosted on the platform.

Not only that, but the front-end code (HTML, CSS, JS) is treated as the source of truth. Whatever changes the owner makes to a page (through DevTools, some custom JS, or clicking a button that does something) is saved permanently to the DB.

This makes it possible for front-end devs to create interactive applications just by adding a JS plugin to the page.

I'm hoping projects like this idea will lead to a renaissance of blogs, personal websites, and remixable apps that push our normal conception of what a website is to the breaking point.

(Email in my profile if you want to discuss. This is a new project I haven't started yet.)

There still seems to be a lot of interesting creative content out there, but it doesn't play by google and social media's rules, so what you find is listicles, blogspam, click funnels, various forms of low effort crap made in bad faith.

Here are just a few links to websites I've found that I thought were interesting (I'm not affiliated with any of them). Tell me, when was the last time you saw that type of stuff on google, facebook, or reddit, or twitter, or HN?

I think it should be possible to build something genuinely useful in this space. I'm not exactly sure how or what, so I'm still experimenting with various ways of bringing audiences to websites off the beaten path, but it feels like I'm closing in on something.

I've been approaching this in a sort of independent R&D fashion, just trying things and seeing what sticks. If anyone is into this general space, maybe shoot me an email. Not really sure what's a good format for collaboration though.

The web has gotten boring.

This is so true. Before it was boring, it was hard to use, though. I think that's why the federated/decentralized/indie stuff still struggles to find mindshare.

If I want to see an older version of the page I like: click click click I have a (like really) permalink

If I wanna modify a page that someone else made, fork and edit!

It's like Github, but for our pages!

(too many exclamations smh)

The product seems less ‘the web has gotten boring’ and more ‘we are low code development’ — a happy fun place between no code development and the normal overly complex web development of today.

Which funny enough, I think your audience/clients are best for actually big boring development via some enterprise clients who require stricter security rules or giant less skilled employees with occasional custom requirement (imagine a big painful US gov type organization). I don’t see this getting hobbyists but easily could be wrong.

Cheers and congrats. Really cool stuff! Excited to see where you land.

I called it MIXINT for remixable interface. It's abandoneware now but IMO a pretty good vanilla-JS approach to window panes with class-sensitive menus. see github for code and manic dreams in the readme [0] and video of the interface swapping out one class of window for another [1]

But what I really wanted was to expose the guts of the code in a way that made it easier to edit, and as a protest to JSX I threw together a unified JSON syntax for templates that get rendered into HTML/CSS so that I could write javascript code that returns objects and just build up DOMs that way - but when I started implementing variable substitution and array mapping in my JSON templates, I realized I could do away with the javascript altogether and write entire web pages as declarative JSON, just using a few prefixes that trigger macro expansions, replacing one branch of the tree with another until no more prefixes are left (the eureka moment came when reading about macro expansion in the TRAC language - I was just going to stick to feature parity with Handlebars before realizing I had a bone fide programming language on my hands)

This is all off and on the last 4 years. I'm about to overhaul the years-old homepage with better examples but you can see the concept here [2]. Maybe some of the code would be useful, I'm certainly on board with the mission, I just wish I was better at avoiding those pesky rabbit holes :)

- We have calls with grandparents regularly. My kids will say hi, but then they go play (usually on a screen so they are not too wild while we talk). Myself and my parents would love to have a game (and be willing to pay) where the grandparents and kids can play together on, say a TV, while having the phone/tablet run the video call.

- We had this problem with "low quality" games until we got a Nintendo Switch. Games aren't free/cheap like on phones, and so we have fewer. The kids focus more on a limited set of games and they're not full of ads.

Like Number Munchers is a fine game. It's not a revolution in education or anything. But it would not be very hard to clone, publish, and make it easier to find and use than an archive.org emulator. Make it data driven and educators might want to contribute new tasks.

One game isn't much but if you put half a dozen together that could be a good start. In my experience kids are not as picky as people expect so long as you treat them decently.

It is free and online. No user registrations. No trackers. No 3rd party scripts or dependencies and the entire web app is self-contained. Just HTML/CSS/JS + media assets.

It is based on interactive 3-SAT solving although I deliberately made a point of not mentioning it on the game's home page to keep it appealing to the widest possible audience, not just CompSci/SAT folks.

Would love to hear what you and your 4/yo think of it.

Of course, open to collabs.

> The selected pieces must not contain both a and of the same color.

The following example shows a couple X's selected with the same color in different rows. Are you trying to say O's and X's cannot share a color?

If you think of this in terms of 3-SAT, the O's are positive literals (like a, b, c etc.,) and X's are negative literals (like a', b', c' etc.,) and the color is used to denote the underlying variable (ie., a, b etc.,). Each row is a disjunctive clause (eg: a + b' + c, where + denotes Logical OR or disjunction). Consecutive rows represent a conjunction (eg: (a + b' + c).(a + b + c').

The condition ensures that we don't permit a selection such as b.b' or c.c' since they would evaluate to False in Boolean algebra. The goal is to get a selection that doesn't contain a literal and its complement.

Due to the distributive law in Boolean algebra, solving SAT is equivalent to finding a term that doesn't vanish to False when the formula is fully expanded out.

Thanks for trying it out.

This project is a great opportunity to learn or expand your skills if any of the stack is interesting to you - a big part of our goal is to help build up the technical skills of anyone who wants to dive in somewhere.

We've got a number of investigators on staff and are starting to get a decent feedback loop with them to iterate on what we're building.

We've also got some unique and useful ideas that haven't been implemented before, and if things go well, we really think this could give a kick-in-the-pants to Maltego and Palantir's offerings, amongst others.

If anyone is interested or wants to know more, please let me know!

I'm personally limited on cycles currently (N.B. I am a cofounder / direct of eng. of an ISP that builds custom 802.11ax-over-mmWave last mile access networks and CPEs in-house), but since I have enough experience in that world I can probably jump in at points to help as I free up.

This means something as simple as changing the network name or password requires changing it on every single access point manually, and even worse if your mesh system relies on sharing frequently-changing state between devices.

OpenWISP tries to address this problem: https://openwisp.org - I suggest you check it out and solve the configuration management problem first.

The actual "mesh" part is actually relatively easy. Most commercial systems use basic Linux networking tools, HostAPd (sometimes with custom improvements, but this all ends up upstreamed or reimplemented upstream given enough time) and custom glue code to tie them together. A "mesh" system is typically a user-facing network being broadcast by all APs (with shared settings such as name and password) and an invisible, "backhaul" network each AP hosts (either on a separate interface or on the same interface as the AP - I believe some wireless cards can act both as AP and station as long as the channel is the same) and the other in the path connects to, and the glue code handles configuring all of that. 802.11s is also an option that can be used, and I'm pretty sure all of this is already possible to configure manually in Linux - what's lacking is the "glue code" to set up & manage all of this automatically.

Another mesh community is Thread, which seems to have Zig-bee, Apple & Google involved https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_(network_protocol)

I haven’t looked into mesh networks in a few years. Back then, Germany seemed to have a few open source mesh projects.

Oh yes. Much to the frustration of even the phone OEMs. Hopefully WiFi is easier to handle than 5G lol

Billions of users use GMail (or similar services). These companies are making money by selling ads, and their "free" email service is just another way to improve ad targeting. Furthermore, your account can be disabled at any time and for any reason. Sure, you can switch to Protonmail, Tutanota, etc. because they are "good" companies. But why do you have to trust to any of them? Keep your encryption key, and have communication providers move around encrypted bytes on your behalf. Store your identity on a blockchain (maybe), so that no one can take it away.

That's the idea. If you'd like to work on something like this, get in touch. lgx (at) ubikom.cc

The game is built from the ground up with SFML and C++. The graphics are sprite/tile based. The game is top down, 2D, and will display the interior of buildings so you can watch your citizens live their lives. You'll be able to change z-levels for multi level buildings.

The focus of the game will be more on the simulation (Dwarf Fortress is a huge inspiration) than on building pretty cities (e.g. Cities: Skylines), although I do care about the art direction.

I have a long runway to take off from, about 2-3 years, so I have the time (and patience, and desire) to care about quality and efficiency.

What Im working on now:

Here's a brag & demo of the pathfinding I am currently wrapping up:

https://i.imgur.com/vtKXKLK.mp4

Note a few things:

* All possible paths are found in O( m + n log n ) time, even though there's a binomial coefficient number of possible paths in this grid. The tree is stored in memory for constant time access. Im using parallel flat hash maps to significantly lower the memory footprint.

* The units choose the shortest path that match their preference (i.e. the color of the unit), thus choose a path that contains the most tiles of their color.

* Pink units dont have a preference and will use any of the paths available.

* I'm not an artist!

* Currently wrapping up multi-lane road pathing (which is quite tricky!).

* In the game, preferences will be history, tourism, beauty, food, neighborhoods the unit can relate to (religion/nationality), etc.

The largest problem I will be tackling is simulating (to the best extent possible) an economy. One thing I liked (and made a lot of sense, at least to me) in SimCity 2000 is that the first demand you had to fulfill was industry. So the player will choose an industry to build their city around (though they'll be able to diversify any time. The price for that is possibly losing their edge in said industry).

One of the goals in the game is cashflow. Each service/industry/utility (SIU) that is outsourced is lost tax revenue for the city. For example, a new map will contain national power lines running through it. You'll have to tap into those for power initially. This means your citizens will pay a higher price for electricity, which limits tax revenue in two ways:

1.) You're not taxing the profits of the power plant

2.) You're citizens have less money to spend, thus the businesses in your city have smaller profits to tax.

Now iterate that math for every SIU required (which depends on city size).

To counter this, the player starts by owning all the land, so the city's initial revenue is from property sales. As the city grows, land value goes up. (Fun point, once the land is sold, its permanent until you can afford a great lawyer on your board to win an eminent domain case).

Over time the city will grow and more SIU's will be localized, increasing the cash flow of the city (more tax income). But, to attract/retain talent (thus have larger corporations), the city needs to spend this cash on services to make the city a desirable place to live. I think some fun side goals would be, for example, attracting the best chefs, artists, musicians, that are available, and have them e.g. open a restaurant in your city.

So, the macro scale is competing against other cities (both for talent and services/industries). I could say the winning condition is to be at the apex in every industry in the game, though that will likely be impossible, and I dont plan on having any real win condition.

I haven't sat down and mapped out how to simulate the competition (other cities), but I dont see a need to simulate each city at the micro level. I believe DF takes a similar approach. If anything, an infrequent mass calculation could determine who moves where and why, and to compare business competition. Im using SQL for storing game data to take advantage of what it does best, so this should be relatively easy.

When the game can begin competing with Cities: Skylines on a simulation level, I'll start charging for it.

I’ve worked on a compiler for a HM type checked language for a while. Since September last year I’ve been stuck trying to implement tagged unions (such as Maybe). I’ve got all other features.

I’m looking for a tutor who would write a type checker with me in a screen sharing session. I’m located in Dalarna, Sweden atm, but can do any timezone that fits. I want to pay for this as I am really really curious to find out how it works! It’d probably be no more than around 100 LOC for just the type inferrer.

No payment necessary, but I'd be happy to do a videocall with you. I've implemented tagged unions once, albeit with a very different syntax: https://akkartik.github.io/mu1/html/033exclusive_container.c... (this is a Literate format that eventually tangles into C. The `scenario` blocks show what code in the language would look like. Though none of these is a good example. They all sidestep the type checker to some extent since they're creating raw objects in memory.)

Anyways, I'd be happy to chat with you :) I suspect it'll be a short call. There's a likely a single sentence somewhere that will get you unstuck.

Thanks for the offer! Sending you an email :-)

HM = Hindley-Milner

My email is in my profile please feel free to get in touch regarding type checkers!

Here is a type checker, lacking inferring, for tagged unions. What I need to figure out is how integrate this with the unification algo http://www.martinjosefsson.com/ocaml/compiler/interpreter/ty...

One problem is that it’s very difficult for an app to run arbitrary, untrusted user code in a way that’s secure and efficient, especially in the browser. Apps need to worry about XSS and unintended remote code execution, much less try adding those things as a feature.

I started working on a Typescript/WebAssembly library around the QuickJS JavaScript runtime to address this need. QuickJS runs modern ES2020 and provides an API for the host process to set CPU and memory budgets for the execution environment, which is completely sandboxed. My work so far exposes a basic interface to create VMs, expose APIs from the host to the guest, and evaluate code.

Repo: https://github.com/justjake/quickjs-emscripten

NPM: https://www.npmjs.com/package/quickjs-emscripten

Areas of work:

- Make the library importable as ES modules on the web without a Webpack build step.

- Design higher-level but still security-conscious APIs for building plugin systems on top of the existing library.

- Expose more QuickJS C APIs to library users.

- Performance or ergonomic improvements.

If you share any of these goals or would like to help out, please drop me a line on GitHub (eg by opening an issue), or via any of the links on my HN profile.

It's your goal for applications to adopt your library as a generic extension mechanism? I really like this idea.

Similarly the older Caja project: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caja_project

Some of my frustrations with YNAB:

* Rigid categories. This makes you do a lot of work up front. I am envisioning letting people just assign categories on the fly without having to pre-define them.

* What do to with my money? In YNAB, every paycheck you are a supposed to give each money a job (a category). In practice, there is a very little guidance around what to do if you have too much, or too little money. I'd like a little less flexibility here, as well as the ability to create/define rules to help make actual assignment of funds more automated. ( I have some ideas about this).

* Its very common to budget intermittently. But you can come back to your budget after a month and have 100s of transactions to go through, your categories are all underfunded, and you don't know what to do, so you click "Make a Fresh Start". I also have idea around this

* Reports: The default reports in YNAB leave a lot to be desired. Extensions like "Toolkit for YNAB" help, but good reporting should be a first-class citizen of a finance app.

* Tagging transactions. related to the above, tagging transactions will help with reporting and seeing where your money is going.

If any of the above interests you, my email is in my HN profile. This is a side/after-work project, not a full-time one.

https://focustask.app

Building this in my free time, and would love to talk to anyone who might be interesting in helping with either coding or with marketing.

My email is vojto at focustask.app

I've never found a productivity app/ task manager for consultants. I would love the ability to self generate follow up emails based on tasks for another person.

I would love the functionality to assign tasks to another person in my task manager, and on the day those items are due ("analysis", "Documents", etc.) it automatically creates an email for me saying i'm following up on this task.

OR a 'these are the tasks i am currently working on' automated email. So during the meeting i can be inside the app, writing down deliverables from the meeting and at the end it will generate a meeting email with each deliverable and who the owner is. If i have a task for a certain date and the next day i sign on and don't check off the task, it will generate an email saying 'Hey, sorry have been swamped, working on X today/ will get you this on X day. '

Captured time, tasks, and held key/values for documentation.

Every task was assigned, never open, and timecards were auto generated (and emailed to management)

This fits my mental model. I do it in a markdown document for work, and paper for personal.

Would love to find editors/journalists who are interested in adding their own commentary to the site and helping rack and stack people as for or against.

I dunno what that would really look like. But I'd like to explore gift economies, time banking, and brainstorm the strategies and games that could enable a more equitable Earth.

As for the software side:

In my head I am imagining a hierarchical set of nodes organized by geographical proximity each hosting a django application connected by "privately" operated physical links.

I'd like to leverage http://www.nncpgo.org/ to make sneakernets and dead drops a first-class component of any software systems involved.

I put up a README with two guiding principles for now while I iterate on the concept more (https://sr.ht/~danielganado/TAPBE/). If you've got a solarpunk or agorist bent we'll be fast friends so work out my email address from my profile and say hey!

No major benefit of using a dht except it's kinda cool that the entire thing runs sans centralized database.

If you're interested, the space is what my startup is working on but the cdn specifically is mostly a fun tangent to learn about kademlia for me. It's always fun to work with more people in the live video space since it's a small community overall.

In principle I think BitTorrent can be adapted to this, but essentially the output "file" doesn't hash correctly so I think it would be a lot of hacks to the point where it's avoiding actually using most of the parts of BitTorrent anyways. In particular this is evident on the DHT, my understanding is the DHT actually stores fragments of data and BEP44 verifies integrity. In my implementation, the DHT stores some metadata for who can publish the data because the media stream is live and we don't want to broadcast every packet over the DHT.

Of course, I'm new to BitTorrent so that's my understanding. I'd love it if I could use more BitTorrent components directly :)

I also know PeerTube has a Live feature now, but I have no idea how they do it. I think they use WebTorrent (at least for the non-live videos).

[1]: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2016/05/bitto...

My goal for the CDN is to make it lower latency that it could be used for video conferencing. In practice I have more of a one-to-million distribution in mind but it's a cool puzzle.

If you're interested, I'd love to talk more! I'm in NYC if you happen to be too, I love meeting people interested in live video :)

Anyone into electoral methods or game theory? If you've ever watched CGP Grey's videos on electoral methods or seen Nicky Case's *To Build a Better Ballot*,[1] it's very much in the spirit of that. It's mostly a toy that will run a single election in a large number of different electoral methods.

Currently I've implemented ~26 different electoral methods which is pretty neat. However, I've shied away from the methods that voting theory nerds love the most: Condorcet methods. I've implemented Copeland (although there's a mistake I haven't fixed yet) as well as Kemeny Young. However, Kemeny Young is implemented in the most brute force way possible and is O(n!) right now.

Mostly I think I'm just looking for people with a math/game-theory background that would be interested in helping out, but I'm open to anyone interested. I know there's a lot of optimizations I could make to the Kemeny Young algorithm, but I've been hesitant to do so because I can't find the right theorems to make sure certain assumptions are true. For example, I'm quite sure that a subset of weak Condorcet winners would be at the front of the winning path, but I haven't found a textbook that's stated this explicitly and it's been a long time since college so I'm kinda iffy on proving it to myself. I also don't think having to learn the proof everytime just to make sure my assumptions are mathematically sound is the best way to develop such a tool. Thanks

It's all open-source and won't have ads and will hopefully just be a static site so it's really just a hobby project.

Where did you source all the different electoral methods?

The electoral methods are sourced from various places. When I get the new site up and running I want to have a spec source for each of the methods' implementations since some of the names can be confusing. A lot of the methods were found on the electowiki[0] which is run by the same people who do the mailing list. Many others I just found from reading articles, publications, textbooks,[1] and even wikipedia. I've kept a list of ones I wanna implement so I've just been slowly working through them. But there's a strong bias towards simple to implement ones so far. The much-loved (by voting theorists) ones won't be implemented for a while until I figure out how to do things more efficiently

1. How to tamp down program complexity by compartmentalizing side effects? Are hexagonal architectures, monads, and algebraic effects the best ways? What are their pros and cons and are there other potential candidates?

2. How would abstract concepts like data structures and architectural structures be reified visually? Is there a Tufte for data structures? Do they actually help in understanding a program?

3. Is it possible to run programs on a remote machine you don't control and be assured that it was executed correctly?

If there's anyone else that's looking along these three avenues or even tangentially related to local-first software, tools for thought, or dynamicland, I'd be happy to trade notes on interesting areas.

It's targeted at small to medium communities, but at the same time it can reach outward through the federation mechanism that ActivityPub provides. Outside of immediate support to intercommunicate with other instances of its own platform, it will handle interactions from the larger fediverse at large: Mastodon, Pleroma, Pixelfed, etc.

Currently this is a one man project, namely me, and I would welcome support in any area that people could help: development, design, documentation, graphics, copy, etc.

The project can be found at https://github.com/mariusor/go-littr, and if anyone is interested there is a mailing list where people can get in touch: https://lists.sr.ht/~mariusor/activitypub-go

Some details about the project can be found on its wiki: https://man.sr.ht/~mariusor/go-activitypub/brutalinks/index....

[edit] for the curious, there's also a demo instance at https://littr.me

I don't know why I need to acknowledge it on my project though. Users that are interested can click around and see what's different and which one is more to their liking. It will probably be mentioned in the wiki at some point, as it's one of the immediate targets for federating with other projects.

Want to reach out to me via my email please?

I'm working on a project to develop a dispatch system for volunteer emergency couriers, aka blood bikes. They deliver samples, blood, donated breast milk and equipment between hospitals around the UK, as well as supply blood to air ambulances.

The app is meant to replace a system of pen, paper and spreadsheets that the service is mostly being run on. I've been working directly with the charities for it to best suit their needs.

It uses React, JavaSript, Material UI, Jest, Redux, Amplify and React Testing Library. Eventually I'd like to develop a React Native mobile app too.

There are some details on the issues page https://github.com/platelet-app/platelet/issues about some of the work that still needs to be done.

I have a Discord too although it's a little quiet - https://discord.gg/tWhCM98ckB

I'd be glad to hear from anyone who feels like they'd want to contribute. If you have any questions, feel free to ping me (Ducky) on Discord.

I can't express in words how seriously sad I am to leave F# for the shitshow that is TypeScript. I tried to make ReScript work, but it's tightly coupled to React for baffling reasons.

Blog post I wrote about the steps in developer experience up till now: https://wanderingstan.com/2020-02-04/the-evolution-of-develo...

This talk from 2018 is asking the right questions, though I'm not a huge fan of all his ideas: https://hilton.org.uk/presentations/beautiful-code

I have a rough Google doc I've been dumping ideas and links into that I'd be happy to share.

You can email me at <my username>@gmail.com

Would love to collaborate to develop some ideas and build some prototypes to try them out!

The idea is to put together a project that gives an overview of how to set up a minimal viable web application from scratch via all the different frameworks.

For each framework the project features a self explanatory shell script that builds a web app with routing, templates and user accounts. So there is no ambiguity of how to reproduce the results. And it is even possible to just copy&paste the steps into a docker container and see the framework in action.

Here is the repo:

https://github.com/no-gravity/web_app_from_scratch

So if you want to compare how the frameworks do templating, you can look at the "Let's use templates" part and have a quick overview of how it is done in Django, Laravel, Flask, Symfony, NextJS...

I wrote the beginning of the Django script and two developers contributed Laravel and Symfony scripts. So far we have routing and templates. All three still need user accounts.

If you are experienced in a web framework, feel free to add to one of the scripts or a new one and send a pull request!

So on the sidebar you have components...one is a sidebar right? so you click on it..on the right pane it shows implementations on the top of the pain is a dropdown so you can switch from say. MUI to AntD to Vuetify, etc... some are narrow scoped frameworks (Vuetify for example is only Vue), some are Wide... Tailwind Kit for example or Daisy UI... they target tailwind but are JS Framework agnostic...

So under each implementation of each component might be code for Rails, Laravel, Django, views and maybe even some sort of api integration where you can have a webhook that can either connect to your dev and push the code to the right places, OR it could put it in a queue if your local dev can't receive incoming normal http requests, you could just use a cron job or manually import the code from your localhost backend...

I'm imaging this sort of being like a mixture of low-code meets Storybook with already developed ui components, and you could even import full templates, etc... So for backend devs w/ an idea 90% of the UI stuff is just drag/drop etc.... you could even have a way to combine elements somehow so you can build up a whole page of elements...and some sort of marketplace where people could share designs and maybe charge like $1 for the code snippet MIT license, but access to the code is $1.

Edit: It'd also be cool to extend this to data-layer..so say I am designing my migrations/models... and I want an Employees table....well maybe I type in employees and it organically lists all the columns previous people have used for employees tables and ranks them by how often it was used... so you can basically have most of the data points that are pretty common across similar apps be shared and almost done for you...and then you can export to django, rails, prisma, hasura, laravel, etc...

The main difference is the "no ambiguity" approach I take. When you look at the Django part of the project you linked to, you see it starts with 8 manual steps and then a bunch of optional steps in case it does not work.

I want to have no ambiguity. No manual steps. That is why every framework is handled by a script that is guaranteed to work on Debian 11 and leads to a running web app.

I'm not a Swift programmer, or Kotlin programmer, and haven't touched Java in a decade. I would love to collaborate with people on this project. I can offer lots of enthusiasm, and if you like programming without hassle I'll handle all the user-facing stuff and managing GitHub issues and support requests, project admin and writing documentation :)

There is much to do (and users really want video recording on iOS), but I've not got the coding skills to start. Picking up one language would be a nice challenge; keeping the iOS, Android and web versions at feature parity... I can't do it on my own.

I could use someone to help out and keep me motivated.

I used to make a hiking app for a living, but now I’m just tinkering with side projects and writing.

I'd love to make a 2d pokemon like game based on real world interactions that can be fun to play, include teaching social skills and business skills and life skills, and have the same joy and fun adventurousness as pokemon.

Would love to find a way to work together on something like that. I have a ton of fun real world experiences we could build in / characters / etc. and a vast idea world. A friend actually has a sci-fi universe of sorts and we could do some fun simple design around some of his plots. Lots of ideas. Would love to collaborate.

Our first product, Preptrack, helps people to use PrEP, the medicine that eliminates the risk of HIV infection. It's live on the App Store and has a strong and active community of users who love what we do.

We're always looking to talk to software engineers who would like to do a little good in their spare time or as a side project.

Feel free to check out our website (https://preptrack.co.uk), our volunteers page (https://preptrack.co.uk/volunteering/engineer/) or shoot me an email (sam [at] preptrack [dot] co [dot] uk). I'd love to hear from you.

I'm currently working as a machine learning engineer, but doing a lot more engineering than learning. I'm also applying to PhD programs with focuses in knowledge graphs and common sense reasoning, but willing to learn any other field. If I don't get in then some independent research is still a good career move.

I have ideas of my own (goal oriented question asking) but happy to run support on other peoples stuff.

1. I have a complete optical flow training data set here. It is built specifically to highlight the shortcomings of some state of the art AI algorithms and (as expected) they fail on it. We used it internally to fix those issues on our own proprietary AI. To turn this dataset into a publication, someone would now need to get access to or re-implement most of the top algorithms on other benchmarks like Sintel and run them against the new dataset. Otherwise, there would be no comparison scores and, hence, no use for someone to evaluate their algorithm on the new data set.

2. By participating in the gocoder Bomberland AI competition, I noticed that most state of the art RL AI algorithms fail badly in an environment with a non-deterministic enemy. It would probably be very useful to package that environment as a OpenAI gym python package and then do a proper "best out of 3" evaluation of common algorithms on that environment. It'll mostly be failures, which is a great backdrop against which to propose a small tweak to DQN that makes things work, which is to estimate the variance in addition to the mean so that you can work on the 30% percentile of the expectation of the state action score.

Both dataset papers and AI algorithm ranking papers tend to get cited a lot. But they require a lot of effort to produce.

I'm not focused on these making money but I'd like to reach a point where I can sell some devices. My main goal is quality and great user experience. I do lack some knowledge in PCB design which usually slows me down. Feel free to reach out via the linked website or the email I have in my 'About'. Even if you just want to pick my brain.

Here's a quick video explaining it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faxNDhOjlh4

Piano Gym is a learning and practice ecosystem focused on prioritizing music theory and performance skills acquisition through the use of flash cards. We use flash cards in order to pair them with modern learning techniques like spaced repetition, graded feedback, and progress tracking so that you can practice material and work through content that is managed by Piano Gym, and all you have to do is enroll in a school/course/lesson and do your reps! Just show up every day and do 15 minutes of reviews. You're going to make progress.

Our website uses the Piano to navigate exercises as well as regular keyboard/mouse input. We work on browser technology and are looking to eventually make it mobile devices.

We provide content creation for everyone so that anyone can make their own schools/courses/lessons and the best part is each school gets its own landing page.

For example we're using the methods book from https://freepianomethod.com which is provided by Mayron Cole, and if you wanted to practice it without signing up or enrolling you could easily visit this link: https://pianogym.com/schools/Mayron%20Cole%20Method

Even better when you find the piece you want to practice you can share it directly like so: https://pianogym.com/schools/Mayron%20Cole%20Method?sheet_mu...

Our goal is to do this for free. We believe that no one should be blocked from learning. And one of the issues with this at the moment is that our team is very small and has been currently working nights and weekends to make this happen. We would love the chance to add a technical member to our team in order to build this product out to its full vision.

If you're interested please feel free to direct message me or reach out on social media :)

Yeah. I made Piano Gym because I've seen several solutions for Piano/Music Theory and at the end of the day I really think having people create curriculums and setting progression while managing it is the best approach for intentional practice between autodidacts/teachers/learners.

One of the cool things is that we have a flash card creation tool that will automatically chop a piece of sheet music into flash cards of 1/2/3/n measures at a time so that you can make flash card sets to deliberately practice sections of a song. It's really cool! I'm still on the fence of how to leverage this effectively for learners, but I've been thinking about the idea of making 1 measure flash card sets, 2 measure, 3 measure, and then the full piece. In many ways I can do anything with Piano Gym and that's the problem for me now

Mostly comfortable in TS web frameworks, React / Angular / Node

We're building the first political party that comes with an app.

Imagine if American democracy was improved 10x. A fairer, more representative, more effective government for everyone.

The goal is to start small, provide a 10x better experience for citizens, and gradually overtake/integrate with the 2 major parties: - The Software layer for the "hardware" of existing political institutions - Better voting - deliberate in app, and then vote all at once in a bloc - Better tools outside of voting - perks, feedback, and more

Work with me! Shoot me a message at [email protected]. Would love to talk to anyone interested! (or tell me why the idea sucks)

As these groups are small, usually minimal hardware and a FOSS tool or two is all they really need. Meaning their actual cost is probably way less then their expected cost (or what some hungry web dev quoted them at).

The idea is to bridge the gap between these groups and some tech that would add value to the groups. There is a strong possibility of cross pollination between outdoors groups, and for individuals in these groups to require more specialized tech solutions.

It feels crazy enough that it might work, but the idea is still young.

General things that could help with this project:

- Single node only, add distributed support(based on raft?)

- Improve or replace the custom protocol for sending and receiving messages(I wrote the current one, it's not pretty)

- Update the CLI to allow for managing topics

If you're interested in contributing to a Go project, in the area of distributed systems check out the repo or send me a message with your ideas.

Currently, I am writing a web crawler application framework in golang. Always looking for help or new ideas on what to crawl next!

Emails welcome, check my profile.

Your crawler perhaps could be customized to crawl and publish an index of all available Progressive Web Apps. A naive way would be to check for sites that have a PWA App manifest file in their root folder.

Let me know if you are interested in collaborating.

Please do think about it for the next couple of days and I will drop an email to you in the next 48 hours (I live in India). We can then decide how to take it forward.

Just curious: How long does an end-to-end crawl take and how much resources does the process consume (in terms of hardware/mem etc.,)?

- The API is focused around sending and receiving messages to addresses derived from public keys.

- Each application can have its own stable address.

- Runs as a daemon process which is configured with peering information. Additional network nodes can be spawned through the API.

- Can easily support arbitrary routing algorithms through a well defined interface.

- A TUN device (similar to CJDNS or Yggdrasil) is included as a separate application. (The IP6 Portal)

There is a lot of benefit to this - fast, traditional desktop development with great deployment. It also has built-in developer tools and online access to a UI Builder. I hope this could make Java Client development interesting again.

It's 2022 and yet if you ever think of a feature for an app or a product you use, there's no good place to voice it and feel heard. I want to change that.

Looking to collaborate with fellow engineers and people with a strong product/growth sense.

As governments print more money, and prices rise, the hope is that citizens can use these NFTs to combat that rise in price. That is the basic idea, which we can iterate on. I'm super excited about it simply because I think it has the potential to do a lot of good in this world. look forward to hearing from anyone interested, please reach out!!! (pdeckr at gmail).

Also, blockchain is supposed to solve trust problems, government being one big one. Instead, you're going to trust their CPI data?

I am retired and don't have the space or physical capability to build this at my home so I'm looking for someone who has or wants to build a shed or tiny house and who has basic construction ability. I can help with basic design and maybe arduino prototyping and scripting. If it works I'd like to put it on the web so anyone could copy it and be confident it would work. Phase 2 might be doing the same with a manufactured/mobile home.

Hopefully the tiny house builder has clients outside of the Netherlands. (-:

I always like to take a pulse check on which components and configurations other people are using for different hardware functional blocks (think 3v linear regulator, logic level shifter, etc.).

Taking inspiration from dribbble and tailwindcomponents applied to open source electronics.

https://tablam.org

that is my attempt to resurrect the spirit of the FoxPro/dbase kind of tools.

Is on Rust, and is also my way to sharp my skills on it.

Now, I'm in the process of improve the parsing to be robust like in Rust, so i can show good error messages:

https://github.com/brendanzab/codespan

and also, hopefully, implement a solid type inference that work fine with the challenge of infer joins like "customer CROSS JOIN address".

---

The idea, long-term, is create a tool alike MS Access/FoxPro+Excel that I think could be great for a lot of companies (that are using stuff like "BigData" tools -like hadoop- when them are struggling with more fundamental issues!) and improve the condition of make business apps/analysis.

I already hear some interest when the vision is described in full, and I certain any company that use Excel/Access to deal with data and/or make business apps is anemically served by it.

The alternatives now are only for the cloud, and I instead wanna a local-first/on-premise offering...

So I'm imagining a pacific-island-navigate-by-the-stars simulator, maybe speed up time so 8 hours of night become 30 minutes of cardio. Choose a couple of islands to row between, get some directions of which star to follow, and get to work.

Good news: some water simulation and a night sky are probably just a library include away, right?

Bad news: would have to do something fancy to nail the motion sync, I was thinking an arduino and some hall effects, really just need to capture the bookends of each rep and adjust the video to match your movement. I guess goggles already do position tracking but I think I would basically want to predict the snap when you change directions, as even a few ms lag will ruin the immersion.

Alas, I am merely a web developer without so much as a pair of goggles, but I think this will be a good starter project on account of not needing to create any assets. Godot looks very promising. If anyone else has VR-but-good-for-your-body ideas I'd love to hear them.

Unreal has much better VR support with, basically, push button publishing. I would not choose anything else for VR.

An Oculus Quest is wireless with inside out tracking in 6 degrees of freedom (DOF) and has no problem tracking people jumping and ducking in games like beat saber.

Unreal will map the camera to the movement coming from oculus hardware and you just make your art and some basic visual scripting in blue prints to make a PoC.

This is a couple week(end)s of work to get an MVP.

I don't have a rower so wouldn't be able to help but good luck! Great idea and very doable. Although I will warn you sweating in a headset does feel icky with the included fabric pads.

Edit to add:

Sky is just a sky box (sphere) that rotates because stars in real life are effectively at infinity

Water simulation is limited by whatever else you are drawing. Older quest hardware will be limited by draw calls. This is why you see so much stylized art in VR games that are cross platform. You likely would want a simple vertex shader and not a fluid sim.

Now I want a Tron VR rowing sim :D

btw, the Vive and the Quest2 both already do motion compensation, even if your game lags a little bit they reproject it so you don't notice if you drop a few frames, a big lag will still cause problems but the headsets take care of the predictive motion stuff.

I think it's totally under-utilised and an easy-to-use tool of generating voicegrams could be super-sharable and - more importantly - useful from a cognitive perspective.

I think that cognitive differences could be levelled using text-to-speech! And provide an alternative and measurable way of consuming quality content.

My email is in my profile!

Currently looking for people who would want to collaborate on some of the open source pieces that are needed.

Short term I think the right place to start is to build an open source toolkit leveraging NextJS + React Native to create a single project for all platforms.

Long term imagine an IDE (VS Code Extension), hosting, backend ecosystem, marketplace for themes and plugins, a simple opinionated project structure for building things that run on web, iOS, and Android to start. Eventually probably Desktop too. Based all on open source tools to avoid vendor lock-in.

https://livecode.com/

But they have a very different approach. Proprietary language, components, etc. I wouldn't want to be locked into their ecosystem. That's typical with game engines, but not with web and mobile applications these days. Even Microsoft has gone full open source. I wouldn't use LiveCode as the basis to build a company on.

I'm building the open version. Made for startup teams and indie hackers that want to make world class products on top of the open source tools they would probably use anyway.

https://docs.juce.com/master/index.html

Really? I suspect it's actually pretty efficient getting analysts to do this and paying them for 40 out of the 110 hours they work each week.

We give users a little bit of money each week to play with ($0.50 right now) and if they can run it up past a certain point we'll pay them out in cash. If they lose the money, we put another $0.50 in the next week. It's legal in the US since the users aren't allowed to deposit and mainly for entertainment purposes.

The plan is to make money through affiliate referrals if users want to bet with real cash.

I think sports betting is inherently social, so the end game is to create more of a social sports betting experience where you can invite friends and talk shit about their bets, have leaderboards and so on, so forth.

I'm currently wanting to study bandit methods and tabular reinforcent learning. These are limited, but simple and predictable, which is important for games.

https://discord.gg/NkfgvRN

Even for a seemingly "simple" game like Bomberman, tabular reinforcent learning isn't going to work. I tried it with a huge table with 1000+ states and 1mio+ transitions but it still couldn't capture the complexity of that game. Plus you can mathematically show that the value estimates aren't going to converge, due to exploding variance.

In short, I believe you'll need serious research to go from the current "state of the art" in RL AI to something that is remotely tolerable in a AAA video game. But that sounds like a interesting idea, so maybe you should get your feet wet by building a small RL AI for Bomberman yourself, so that you know how things work. I have replays and instructions for that in the discord too, search keywords "gocoder-bomberland-dataset" and "behavioral cloning".

A long time ago I had the idea for a Swords and Sandals type game (a gladiator game) where each opponent was actually a simulated neural network and you could peak under the hood much like this.[0] Each gladiator would be simulated against each other and would actually be learning as they played against each other. Difficulty for the player wouldn't be based on any setting, but rather just having to face the AI that's learned the most and gotten the best

Anyways, since then I've figured it doesn't really have to be a gladiator game. It could be tic tac toe or connect4 or chess or whatever else

I have been poking around with some stuff, but mostly just ideas in my head. So for "collaboration" I mostly imagine getting ideas from each other, trying each other's stuff out, all very low commitment. Like you know when you find someone who when you talk about ideas together and you both come away more excited than when you started? If there's any community where people do hang out like this that would be cool, though the tedious and tired commercial chatbot discussion seems to dominate.

Some thoughts I've had:

1. How do you make a really creepy bot? (Barring profanity, racism, etc) Sometimes people worry about creepy bots but I honestly am not sure how a bot would be creepy. Making one on purpose might be a way to find out

2. Bots are often very reactive without any will of their own. What kind of personality or (imagined) motivation might make a bot proactive? Would that solve some of the "I don't know what you mean" problem of a chatbot? Like instead of a bland response when the bot doesn't understand, it can instead push back on what it cares about.

3. In this vein I've thought about a depressed bot, and your job is to find a way to cheer it up.

4. User-programmable bots. I've been thinking about this in user-buildable VR worlds. The worlds are all so empty. Can we make it feasible for a person to create their own NPCs?

5. Can a bot be loving and supportive? If it's just a façade, how good of a façade is enough to generate emotional response?

6. How do mediums like text vs voice impact this stuff?

Sample scenario: A woman discovers her husband's infidelity and struggles to hide her anger when he asks for a stack of pancakes.

Output:

    She said, "It can't be done. We're out of flour and eggs."
    He asked, "No powdered eggs?"
    She said, "We're out of everything."
    He said, "I was hoping you might have some pancake mix in the pantry."
    She replied, "It's so dark in there, I couldn't see anything if I tried. Why don't you go to the store?"
    He said, "In this weather? It's snowing like crazy outside."
    She said, "Weren't you up half the night playing cards with your friends? And staying up half the night is what got us into this mess in the first place."

Here's a great article about it from an end-users perspective:

I'm building a cooperative hands-on workspace in Brooklyn in an old warehouse. I have lots of interests that require space and tooling (old motorcycles/cars, woodworking, etc), and lots of friends in a similar boat (with fabrication, music, art, etc). I spent the last 6-8 months searching for a suitable space that I could actually afford, and finally found one about a month ago.

I'm in the process of gutting most of it (it's in gnarly condition) and rebuilding it to suit what I'm trying to do. If there's anyone here who lives in NYC, is good with their hands or wants to be, and is intrigued by the idea of getting a bunch of highly motivated and creative people together in one spot to build Cool Shit (whatever that may look like), feel free to get in touch.

I think with so much hybrid learning and remote teaching going on there's an opportunity for STEM education to become more equitable. Right now to learn about neuroscience you have to go to a university, pay hefty tuition fees, and even then access to really cutting edge technology is blocked by the high cost of research tools. There's nothing stopping us from building virtual versions of this same content.

My vision is that these are used as complements to low-cost in-person lab experiences, so maybe in a class people learn about neurons using a backyard brains setup and then they learn about the really cutting edge expensive tools using this virtual environment.

My project for the year is adding facial recognition (I have a branch in PR that is 30% of the way finished with the feature already).

I'm debating what to do with the company. I've only raised a small angel round, and the company is profitable. A competitor reached out to me about an acquisition a couple weeks ago, so I'm debating that vs raising money vs continuing to bootstrap.

I'm an engineer, but I have a decent amount of business experience. So I'm open to partnering with someone technical or business focused.

I'm an engineer, ceo, and investor. I'm looking for projects where I can help with my money/connections/skills to build things now which will then later turn into passive income. My strong suit is AI and process automation.

I'm still debating on what I want to do, but I'm open to chat if you're interested in any of this. michael <a t> bigpicture.io

I am developing https://www.interviewblindspots.com/

It is crowd sourced feedback on your interview performance, targeted at software engineers. I am very bad at frontend technologies and could use some help on that front. I frequently get stuck on frontend (CSS). I need someone to consult with and unblock me. My immediate next steps will be to hire a designed to make the looks good, but I will need a frontend engineer to help me implement the recommendations.

I am also working on a blog search engine. I could use some frontend mentoring for that also.

I mostly work on the backend. I would like to collaborate with someone who does the frontend (but backend collaborators are welcome too). I like keeping things simple. The whole thing (code and infrastructure) is open source - check out the "about" and "commands" links from the main site.

Have you seen https://devutils.app/

There are a variety of projects to work on, but I'm specifically interested in the electrolysis of CO2. I could really use help from anyone with a chemistry background or access to lab!

If you're interested, please reach out to me via my email or hit me up on the OpenAir discord.

Link: https://github.com/shiryel/rayex

The project's architecture is already ready to use, it just needs more functions implemented from Raylib and I need to figure out how to make it work on MacOS (see issue #7)

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

My goals are:

- Restore the ability to use git repos as packages to the frontend ecosystem

- Simplify tooling needs by encouraging devs to check in a readable version of their product compiled down to standard javascript

- Provide the first interoperable way to package components, even those with styles

- Make it all Just Work as long as you run `macrome watch`

I'm looking at starting a company/public-benefit-corporation/non-profit to support formal math. The Lean prover (similar to Coq) is gaining traction, but academics and large corporations are not always good at innovation. There are multiple potential products to consider creating. Near-term plans are to pick one and apply to "America's Seed Fund" (SBIR) for initial funding. Will also consider angel funding and, obviously, applying to Y Combinator.

I'm looking for someone else who wants to join me and can fund themselves for 6 to 9 months, until initial funding arrives. Ideally, someone experienced in formal math and with startups. But I'm open to anyone who is passionately interested in math and has significant skills to bring to the table. Skills include: running an early startup, running scalable online systems, growing an online community, grant writing, and ... a lot more than I can list, but those are the big ones. I'm based in Austin but am willing to move to work together.

P.S. Just finished the draft specification for Par3. https://parchive.github.io/

I have been doing a lot of options trading in the past few years, and needed better tools to analyze complicated options positions, so I started with payoff calculator for a set of options (both at expiry, as well as at intermediate times using Black-Scholes). Here's an example: https://tinyurl.com/pa-example

And now I am building other stuff to analyzing your whole portfolio, and to suggest options trades that will lead to a better payoff profile (as per your customizable utility function, eg: you might weigh losses exponentially and profits logarithmically beyond a threshold).

This is a side project; I have a day job and a family, so I get about 4-5 hours a week to work on this. I have been building this in Rails.

I have don't have any current plans of making this a real business. It's fun and useful to me, and I want to keep it that way, but I am open to launching it as a freemium/paid site in the future if others find it useful.

An ideal collaborator would be someone who is good at Javascript and web UI; but most importantly, our goals should match. If you are that person, email me at [email protected] (or reply to this comment with yours)

I'd like to meet a "validator" to complement my rapid product dev skills. (I'm surprised this kind of pairing structure doesn't come up more often—I see it kinda like 'generator'/'discriminator' pairs in GANs. Seems like the ideal duo-form to systematically discover excellent PMF.)

I have several projects in the works, that to my knowledge could each be seriously profitable—though my certainty around their potential profitability scales inversely with how profitable each may be.

E.g. the one I'm most certain will be profitable will of course not be any kind of unicorn—more something that could provide comfortable passive income, and it's basically ready for open beta: https://diskatlas.com/

I did a fair bit of market research with that one, but the others are a bit more 'intuitive'. I would love to find someone who I get along well with on a personal level who has some real chops/experience (or smarts/drive) in the realm of validating product ideas, collecting user feedback to make revisions to ideas or refine usability, doing market research, maybe generating/implementing marketing/advertising ideas, possibly taking care of other business-ey things(??).

Shoot me a message on twitter, or you can find my contact info on symbolflux.com. I'm a 36yr old male, worked in startups in SF and Cambridge, do independent contracts now living in the southwest (US).

I want to build something a small project app with like-minded people.

I have some ideas of my own, but if I am honest I think joining a small team and then picking the idea we pursue afterwards would net the best results.

Hit me up here and we can chat more.

So if anyone has an idea that want to develop or a project in Go already let me know.

If you're interested, please reach out. My username here is the same as my username on the Gophers and Kubernetes slack groups.

(You're of course welcome to just go pick up an issue in the repo if you'd prefer)

I'd be interested in trying this out again.

I commented about my current project above that is in need of some Go expertise. I am currently working to get into the summer YC class, so if that interests you, feel free to use the email in my profile!

Recently there was a post reminding people about the excellent "polling" feature on HN. Suddenly there were a bunch of polls with great discussions that followed. It would be helpful if this page (https://news.ycombinator.com/submit) included tips about how to create a poll.

I haven't seen many alternatives to FHIR server other than HAPI FHIR. It's a super challenging project and I'm not even sure I can pull it off.

Do you find yourself purchasing a new tool or toy only to discover you need yet another USB cable to power it or one with a proper transfer speed for your setup? Or did your old tool or toy break leaving you with some bizarre proprietary(?) cable that you'll probably never have use for again?

Well I want to make a website where people can: 1) Inventory 2) Share 3) Identify all their unused cables. Why keep buying new cables and contributing to waste? Why keep storing a bunch of cables we don't use instead of giving them to people who can put them to use? And what the hell is this connector I founded tangled up with my XLR and DVI-D cable?

If someone wants to collab I think I've already got a killer name. Just haven't decided a TLD. My stack preference would be a backend using Haskell, Erlang, Elixir or Clojure. Frontend would NOT be an SPA, but I'm imagining some custom components (like a connector identifier and maybe a tabular inventory view) that I would lean towards using Elm for.

I'm actually working right now with someone from the HN community to build a Figma plugin, as well as someone else who's doing research.

Anyone who finds open source icons and illustrations interesting, would love your help :)

One idea: any two pieces of code should be able to communicate regardless of the languages they are written in and the transport between them. It's incredibly wasteful to keep writing client libraries and bindings from scratch every time. I think this can be solved with a low-level IDL, a thin layer on top of UNIX-style byte streams.

I have a Bachelor's degree in CS. Professionally I worked on a TypeScript frontend, a TypeScript backend, and working on a Rust backend now, around three years total. I know other languages (and the project is obviously language-agnostic). I'm a big fan of interoperability.

You can find me by `kinrany` on most platforms. Feel free to contact me even if this particular thing doesn't sound interesting, and you have something else in mind instead.

The goal is to have a schema language that is as universal as byte streams are.

This necessarily means that the language should be open to being extended with new custom types. (Implementations that don't understand a type can always fall back to treating a type as an unsized byte stream.)

The approach is to depart from client-side ERPs UX & simplify the (data) analysis process. The goal is to reduce decision fatigue / information overload in the operator's day-to-day ops.

I launched two foodservice companies in the past and have experienced this issue firsthand. It takes up substantial resources to maximize efficiency.

Working on the MVP & signed two pilots in SF. Target markets are cloud kitchens, catering/causal foodservice companies. My background is in sales/bizdev/ops, happy to discuss my background in detail.

If you're an experienced developer looking for a cofounder position in the saas/sustainability/ML space - please reach out to mo at ghostly dot kitchen Otherwise, still reach out. I'm excited to share this project

We build an open source and non profit news organization that's a combination of Wikipedia and Genius. The goal is to be a destination that people can trust to provide more than one side of a story and separate opinion from fact. It scrapes news, has an AI that organizes topics, human editors to make sure things are organized properly. It surfaces articles and videos that are meaningful contributors to the topic based on heuristics and editors. We markup biases of authors. Show when articles are making claims that lack evidence. Build a fact checking regime that is open and obvious. We don't do all the news, just pick a few hot topics each day, like Digg.

It has a website, mobile app, probably a podcast.

I imagine the non profit has a sister DAO where good contributors are rewarded with a new token we create. Use NFT's for badges. Various other options.

See the main article describing my current vision: http://catern.com/integration.html

My most significant project in this area: https://github.com/catern/rsyscall

My website in general: http://catern.com/ (happy to collaborate on anything on there)

And my current plans: http://catern.com/plan.html

If you're interested, feel free to contact me using the information on my website.

I'm surprised, I thought https://github.com/catern/rsyscall is pretty self-contained and self-explanatory (if unclear on what exactly rsyscall is useful for), and I thought http://catern.com/integration.html is quite detailed (perhaps excessively so).

These things. This is mentioned in http://catern.com/integration.html#thread

You keep pointing me to that document that you feel is compelling, but all it does is explicitly run a Python function in a local thread... I know it's meant as a shortcut in the example but it's hard to infer what the real capabilities are, when what you're doing is not much more than what `trio` or stdlib can do.

Yes, with rsyscall, is that not clear? It's pretty explicit in http://catern.com/integration.html#thread

>but all it does is explicitly run a Python function in a local thread...

That's not all that's happening. I think you might be pattern-matching what's happening in the article to something you've already seen, when in fact it's something novel.

It is nice to have a self-contained example that you can run on your machine, but I think an example that actually shows the capabilities of the framework will serve you better. E.g. show an example of serving network requests by running services on multiple nodes, rather than a toy function with a toy database.

Showing that it's as easy as `run_in_executor()` is nice, but not if it does the exact same thing as `run_in_executor()`.

That's fair and a good point! I suppose reading this, you have no evidence that anything but local_thread exists. I'll change that, somehow, to show that indeed there exist values other than local_thread, and that passing those will run things on remote hosts.

This article originally grew out of a tutorial on writing tests using this style, for which running over multiple hosts is not necessary and maybe undesirable... but that's not good for what the article is today.

I'd be very happy to schedule a couple hours for some conceptual collaboration and to catch up with other makers to see if we can help each other in any way. I'm thinking occasional brainstorming, feedback sessions and exchange of advice coming from different domains of expertise. You can pick my brain in anything that's related to your project and vice versa.

My background is technical so I'd be mostly looking to speak with people who come from business, marketing and design side of things.

If you happen be interested, you can find my details and email in the profile or on my website https://pawel.io, feel free to drop me a message :)

1. Visual synthesizer to synch with popular music to share and jam

2. Wearable thought recorder to predict your future intent (on hold)

3. Anonymous Collaboration to sort 10^12 intents for 10^9 users

The first is pretty far along. I used to VJ semi-pro on a Wacom tablet and then ported it to the iPad (which Apple deprecated when they moved to 64-bit only). Have rewritten in Swift, and in process of redoing the menuing system in SwiftUI. Kids love it and is a subversive way of leaning STEM concepts through play. Demo of the Wacom tablet version (2005) is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXlkzZubHnM&t=9s

The second is an Apple Watch centric app that I spent a couple years on. Just raise your wrist to record your thoughts. I released a subset of the idea in the AppStore, but didn't market it. Spent a few more months on updating the design but is now on hold. Old version here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/muse-now/id1323143774?ls=1

The third is kinda hard. I spoke at the RSA Data Security conference (1998) on how to share interests without a trusted third party. The idea is to combine some homomorphic blinding to sort intent(s) through a massively parallel graph. It's kinda weird because the graph is an asynchronous cellular automaton. I'm not even sure if it is plausible. It's more of a lossy switching network than a static ledger. Somewhat inspired by the work of Goldreich, Micali, Widgerson: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=Goldreich,+Micali,+Wigd...

The twist is that users can provide any answer they chose, but honest/consistent answers will win more of the prize pool over time.

Would be happy to chat and see if there’s any overlap if this sounds interesting.

Here’s a write up on the game rules: https://enoemos.notion.site/Overview-of-Gameplay-ELI10-a9be0...

Discord alexandargyurov#1220

https://suldashi.github.io/gamebook/

I'm looking for someone to try it out, give some feedback, and possibly even write a game by following along the instructions. The target reader is a somewhat experienced programmer (such as a close-to-graduation CS student) who won't need to be told what's a function or class, but you don't need to know anything about game development to make use of the book.

## About me

I’m passionate in what I do. With Master’s in Computer Video Games, I’ve worked in domains that would use three-dimensional geometry such AR, VR, Intel RealSense etc.

| Company Webpage | https://www.mani.ai/ | | --- | --- | | Social Proof | https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27365797 | | On our future | https://narenkeshav.com/essays/mani-future | | Personal Webpage | https://narenkeshav.com/ | | More about me | https://narenkeshav.com/about |

Moving forward, the company would need a two-pronged approach. The company requires a technical & business-oriented team.

### Business oriented

Person who is passionate with a new product introduction & figure GTM strategy with the understanding of technical roadmap of the product.

### Technical oriented

The product uses live sensors, camera & GPS to provide the value. Currently, it is built on top of Unity game engine. Person who is passionate with machine learning on mobile is preferred.

### Investment

So far, I have deferred investment to have a solid product, product messaging & a team. Once the initial team is in place, with the team - we will have to build a roadmap & subsequently a pitch deck. I have built channel(s) to have us introduced to VC’s.

### Finally

I am also looking for people who might be interested in working on this product & in-turn with the company. This is a startup & I find responsible to set a direction. It does not mean that I am right. The team always wins. I would love to find a mentor/advisor with B2C experience. If you know anyone who might be interested, please share my email address [email protected]

Let’s build the future.

I'm working on private AR post-it notes that you can stick anywhere.

... which sounds like a great idea. But with your links and sections and stuff, that comment comes off (to me) a bit as trying too hard.

ScreenBud.com: Chrome extension to taking and annotating screenshots.

- Example (best viewed on desktop) https://screenbud.com/s/8c0HkzGxZDv

- Basic stats: Tens of thousands of uniques per month.

- Internals: Rust on backend, TypeScript+Svelte on frontend

- Potential for colab

   - Open sourcing some Rust libraries (e.g. auth)

   - New features (video support, payment subscriptions)

- Example: https://wordbueno.com/word/hello

- Basic stats: Tens of thousands of uniques per month.

- Internals: Rust on backend, TypeScript+Svelte on frontend

- Potential for colab:

   - Better data

   - Nicer frontend

I'll probably write a few fun "not for profit" games that run on test networks once I have finished my course (so players can grab free tokens from a faucet, then play in the game, no real money at stake).

I am interested in games that can kind of run a bit off chain (I've seen a chess example online that is quite clever in how it avoids the chain until it needs to). I have an idea of an adapted texas-holdem poker game.

I also want to look into how NFTs can be done without needing these big central market places.

Could work together on something, or just keep in touch an encourage each other, ask each other questions etc.

Mainly would want to communicate async via whatever you use, or email. I might be "slow" in the number of hours a week I spend so bear with me!

Contact info in profile.

Should a play win a round, they’ll receive a small percentage of their overall prize, the remainder going into escrow.

That escrowed amount will be rewarded to them in the future if they continue to provide truthful/consistent answers to questions that are used as basis for building the “winning bingo card”

The ultimate goal is to embed Nap into the SDLC--tests that are defined during development and then run during CI/CD. I'm closing in on a V1 release of the CLI tool, at which point I'll be looking to start expanding on the feature-set and add a UI.

I could use contributors who are comfortable building something Postman-esque as e.g. a VSCode plugin that could take advantage of the file-based nature of my project and make it more approachable for the masses.

For now we have a recession in real estate in tourist locations due to the covid. There are also signs of restrictions will be declined shortly. Predictions by sustainability experts, consulting companies and statements of World Health Organization are among that signs.

So it becomes evident that it is a good time to establish real estate fund to operate assets around the world, mainly in tourist locations. For now, ICO and concept of token-as-a-share seems very reasonable. Team already consist of experienced developer and real estate professional. If you blockchain engineer or PR professional, will be glad to invite you to the team!

We want to make it a better (less-toxic) Roblox, with kids making games and stuff for other kids. We need people to do documentation, make tutorials and help build up our library of example programs.

If anyone familiar with Go is interested, they could help with our codebase, and we could use a Javascript / CSS wizard to help make our front-end more responsive.

"Relevant xkcd" is a meme that's been a part of online communities for as long as the comic has had online notoriety. [2] I wanted to build a bot to see how true that was. I've got a lot of the hard parts completed (data collection / curation, initial models), sitting in my TODO box for quite some time and would love to pair up with a collaborator to get it across the finish line.

The idea is an automatic xkcd recommendation bot that takes advantage of the latest and greatest in NLP advances (a fine-tuned hugging face model). [3] I've already got the training data (reddit comments that mention "relevant xkcd") and each individual xkcd's notes from the xkcd wiki. [4, 5]

Therefore we're building an interactive software simulation about democracy and propaganda. With the goal of impacting voters, citizens, students, and key decision-makers, as well as providing an additional research tool for scholars.

You provide (any or all of):

-- cash (early/angel; via donations, grants or easy equity terms; anything from $5k to $5M would be signif and appreciated, in terms of concrete impact on our runway and speed/bandwidth; keep in mind that in this space we have ultra-hard external deadlines both in terms of scheduled elections, and ecosystem/agriculural collapse)

-- connections, introductions, promotion (to your following, eyeball feeds, etc.)

-- additional expertise or credibility related to history, psychology, politics/PolySci, foreign affairs or education

-- user/audience impact validation testing

-- QA testing

-- localization/i18n

We provide:

-- gratitude

-- name credits & references

-- as we have budget: paying work on tasks needed, and, potential for early employees

-- equity shares for potential key early partners

We can provide a more detailed pitch document and a preview look, or live demo w/Q&A, of our working prototype software.

The code gen you are talking about is for data wrangling and shaping, right?

I used ML.net from MSFT and it comes with an ONNX runtime that is quite easy to use, esp if we are just using the model for predictions. The data shaping was not complex. That's why I held back. (See the first link below)

* build interesting graphical web styles / experiments, pushing the envelope

* build a living UX guide founded in research (like an up to date wiki);

Tech stack is Elixir, Vue 3, Prosemirror/TipTap. Looking for coders and writers.

I usually enjoy working on my own projects, but I'm more qualified to write code than create artwork, write stories, compose music, and all those other things that make a game whole.

If you've got a team who is ready to start building a game, feel free to reply here and tell me about it. :)

But I don't have much of anything else implemented yet. graphics are crude, and no other systems.

I'm still learning web3/p2p to leverage this but I feel it's an interesting idea to iterate.

1 is a broadcasting app for smart speakers (alexa, google home, etc).

The other is a tool for newsletters and publications for tracking attribution and links.

Looking to contribute to some nice project ideas, browsing GitHub projects usually gets me nowhere.

GMT+2, email address is in the About section of the profile.

Looking to volunteer for a nonprofit.

However, I have always wondered if one could use stock price history and option price history to do the following:

1. Select an underlying asset (or small set of underlying assets) to focus on

2. Select a simple strategy over the underlying asset such as BUY CALL + BUY PUT at the same price, same expiry date, holding the position until a threshold gain is attained and then liquidating the position.

Of course, you would lose the cost of the CALL + PUT if the position expires without hitting the threshold gain. But part of the algorithm's parameter choice would be to determine the threshold gain% for a specific underlying asset and selecting an underlying asset with a very high probability of exceeding the threshold gain% and thereby a very high probability of positive return on investment.

Arguably, one could train a neural network to do Threshold gain% estimation for an asset based on asset price history and option price history and automate the order placements (both for buy and sell).

For the end-user, the only input they would provide is the investment amount and a target ROI and the system could show a preview of all orders using this strategy that would meet their criteria and execute them at a click of a button (and where permitted, execute them automatically).

There are some nice and simple to do list apps (eg. Notally on Android) that have no syncing. Then there are some platform specific solutions (eg. the Apple's Notes app) that work well on platform.

I've been looking for something just to share a shopping list with my SO, and all I could find were elaborate SaaS productivity suites with projects and deadlines and calendars and project management features, but nothing just for syncing a single to do list between an iPhone and an Android device.

If your use case is really just groceries there is even an app just for sharing shopping lists with others (some friends use it and like it, personally for me it felt overkill): https://www.getbring.com/en/home

Todoist sounds more like a "Get Things Done" style task tracker (like OmniFocus). Due dates and assignments and priorities are way beyond what I want a todo list to do.

As for Bring, yeah that looks like it's way overengineered.

(I've been trying to use as few Google services as possible, but it seems very hard on Android.)

Maybe marketing stuff, like social media, SEO or anything organic :)

I'm in for literally impossible things.

Currently based in Cambridge but, paradoxically, having trouble to find good partners. I have previously worked in Oxford and developed methods which are used and cited by other patents in the field. I also have generated some validation data in vivo. All these things should greatly facilitate raising VC.

I'm looking for very ambitious CS, statistics and bio backgrounds to work with me as cofounders. Contact details on profile. The company doesn't need to be based in the UK.

I wrote my own suite of software to design such vaccines [1]. I wonder if someone have some comment or suggestion.

Thanks! (my email is in my profile)

I want to make large flying buildings.

- Large: several kilometers or even larger.

- Flying: they spend most or all of the time in the air.

- Buildings: containing people and infrastructure.

How do we make them? There are two areas to address:

- The methods of manufacturing them.

- The path from here & now to full production and deployment.

The last time this "Who wants to Collaborate?" thread went by (last month) a couple of people were interested, so I posted an old site talking about it to https://phoenixbureau.github.io/MagnusMotive/ It still needs some clean up and updating. I also set up an IRC channel on libra.chat and have been hanging out there: irc://irc.libera.chat/#MagnusMotive

The basic idea is to make huge geodesic cellular kites with Magnus effect propulsion and lift. https://phoenixbureau.github.io/MagnusMotive/Cellular-Fracta...

Two other aspects of the project would be good to mention here: First, the primary motivation is to clean up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (and other ocean gyres) by collecting and reprocessing the plastic etc. that's floating out there. Second, I want to make and use extremely simple computers systems to control these robots (the cellular geodesic flying machines are made out of swarms of geodesic flying drones.)

I know this probably sounds crazy, but I've been over it and over it and I don't see anything insurmountable or even challenging. It's all off-the-shelf technology, and as time goes on hardware and software improvements make it easier all the time. One biggie is that I thought I would have to recruit an army of volunteers to drive the trash collector robots but now the recent advances in machine learning (et. al.) make that task (identifying trash) much much easier to scale up, eh?

Anyhow, to sum up:

Large flying buildings made from cellular swarm robots that assemble themselves into vast geodesic networks, collecting and recycling oceanic (and other) trash, using simple "provably correct" computer systems.

(I think you can ignore the extra hydrogen: CO + H₂O = H₂ + CO₂. It's describing bubbling carbon monoxide through a water column to get carbon dioxide and hydrogen.)
