Profitable wine-subscription scale-up (tens of millions ARR) that used ML for personalised recommendations before "AI" was cool. Own and scale the whole stack (React/React Native, Python/Django, GraphQL, Postgres, AWS), ship new AI-native features, chase latency spikes, and grow the team from 1 → 5+.

You're a commercial thinker who speaks unit economics, retention levers, and gross margin as fluently as REST endpoints; resourceful, data-driven, ops-literate, and never stops tinkering with the latest models.

Comp up to A$250k + meaningful equity.

You can email me directly ("beto" at our domain name specified above and the subject line as "From Hacker News | Remote | {your country}") with (1) a tech decision you owned and its business impact, and (2) the first AI experiment you'd run at GPD.

Really cool! I should go back to my hobby project [1] and make specific software timelines referencing BetaWiki : )

Show HN: World in Timelines

Hello HN,Stopping by to share my weekend project, World in Timelines. I've had it on my list of "fun side-project ideas" for years, and by leveraging LLMs, I was able to get started and publish something in a few hours. But it's still a work in progress.Years ago, I was helping my nephew catch up in History class, and what worked best was drawing a timeline on paper and talking it through. The...

Both are amazing and challenging reads. Rovelli and Deutsch follow different interpretations of quantum mechanics (many worlds vs relational quantum mechanics), which sends them to different questions and assumptions behind their thinking.

It's our mission at Good Pair Days to disrupt a powerful and entrenched industry and liberate the world of wine from the aloof, the exclusive, the confusing, and the pretentious.

To give you an idea, one of our first products is something we like to call "Spotify for Wine". We like to think of it as providing monthly wine adventures, customised to each member's unique tastes (powered by ML), delivered to their door. Where they can learn as much (or as little) about their wines each month as they like.

Our stack (not a must): Python/Django, React, React Native, GraphQL, Postgres, AWS.

Nice to have: ML Experience.

Re:Ask HN: What's your approach to raising kids? on Monday January 30, 2023 @05:06AM (#34577856)
The place where your children grow up can greatly impact their future, more so than any other factor [1]. It's not an easy decision or a simple fix for many, but where my kids would grow up was a major consideration for me when I made the choice to leave my birth country.

100% - and for some people to excel in connecting with themselves, they need a calmer environment - or just more simplicity.

But his sentiment reminded me right away of the book "The Quest of the Simple Life" by William James Dawson.

The best way to understand how we are different from other wine companies is going to our website, taking the quiz and exploring some of the unique features we believe we offer. The CEO and CTO have been sharing the responsibilities of a product manager and we're looking for someone to take the lead there.

Some more important conditions from the method used:

> Experimental sessions started approximately 1 to 2 hours after the last feeding

> In most cases when mothers laid the infant down, mothers held the infant with one hand behind the neck and shoulders, and the other hand under the buttocks or thighs. The mother laid the infant on its back in 18/19 samples of the 1-month-old and older infants, and 7/7 of the neonate samples, whereas one infant was laid with a sideways landing, later to be turned on its back.

>To examine the effect of sleep duration on the sleep/wake outcome, the interval between the initiations of infant sleep and laydown was calculated. The timing of the infants’ sleep onset was defined as the initiation of the behavioral sleep state, satisfying both of eye closure and no vocalization.
