    Interesting. How do you think about backtesting? There are a few short-only shops that specialize in finding frauds. If you get their historical 13-Fs, how would you score against …

    That’s interesting. Can you make something that’s higher end than the most high end consumer TV? (If Tesla had to be “a better car that’s also electric”, I think this would need to…

    You could expand the cutoff date by modeling lookalike audiences. A 2018 account that votes on similar things to a 2008 account might be admitted. This affords the moderator an eas…

    Show HN: Pioneer Launcher

    Hi HN -- I work on Pioneer. It's a kind of pre-YC network for people building projects that might become companies. You apply with your idea, accumulate points by making progress o…

    Ask HN: What's Happening with MIT's Covid Cough Detection App?

    A few weeks ago there was much discussion about a model that had powerful accuracy at detecting both symptomatics and asymptomatics by forcing a cough. Does anyone know what the la…

    It’s one thing for a startup to do this while small. A whole other level of evolution to do it while you’re large. Imagine Apple suddenly publishing their roadmap. This type of org…
