Earlier quoted context omitted.

I don't know if Gorillas work the same way as dogs, but maybe you could put something that smells nice on a device that extends a small nose-boop extractor arm when close, and gather the noseprint that way. To simulate this invention: - have a dog - put something smelly on your thumb - extend arm to point thumb towards dog - as the dog is within 5-10cm radius of your thumb, press your thumb against their nose (and sa…

It actually looks like they use photos. https://gorillafund.org/karisoke-research-center/noseprints-...

Probably a good idea with photos from afar, as dogs and gorillas can probably have very different reactions to whole the "nose-booping" thing.

I'm not exactly sure why, but your website gives off a very "scammy" vibe, even tough your discuss other scams on it, and since you're seemingly here in earnest, seems valid. Maybe it's something about the color theme of the site (dark text on dark background, strange choices of colors etc) or the weird element structure, low quality photos. Not entirely sure why.

Some things do read a bit weird on the website, but maybe I'm just not the target market (which seems to be "fat americans"). Here is just one snippet I found a bit strange:

> This means a typical 5/10 overweight average looking American 34 year old guy is a 12/10 here in Ukraine. Yes, this isn’t wrong. This hypothetical guy will be so attractive to the women here in Ukraine that he will be getting hit on and talked to by local women. How do I know? I used my own description. So for this number I use 12/10, or 1.2.

Maybe my tiny comment can help you improve at least a tiny bit, as we all would be better off with less incels :)

A couple of years ago I started to build a tool for my own personal use. It ended up being a metaverse full of sticky notes. I'm currently seeing if there's a market for it outside of just myself - https://www.temin.net/ Give me a shout if you're interested in turning it into something - email is in my profile.

Reminds me of Miro and Mural, there's surely a market for it.

It certainly scratched my personal itch for something that lets you relate/encode/recall information in 3D but also work in 2D.

The primary feedback from friends has been it's cool, but hard to use without much of UI (current version is all shortcut keys). That's something I can fix in the next couple of weeks.

A harder problem is there's a decent chunk of knowledge workers with no experience navigating virtual 3D spaces. If you didn't grow up playing Quake, Minecraft etc you might find Temin frustrating to use for a little while.

Simple in form, it's brilliant. Best of luck to this one.

If you're interested in programming languages, compilers, and/or Wasm, I have tons of little projects in both Virgil and Wizard that might be of interest. I'll be getting students this year, but at this point Virgil is done enough that people can try it out. Neat projects might be:

- Write an arm64 assembler. Useful for eventually porting Virgil and Wizard both to M1 macs.

- Write a more complete library for Linux/POSIX. Can read/write files already, but why not sockets and graphics and things?

- Raspberry Pi or ESP32 projects with Virgil.

- Improve Virgil's garbage collector. E.g. even a simple generational Mark&Sweep would be an upgrade for long-running programs.

- Syntax highlighting / modes for Sublime, VSCode, etc would be very welcome. Emacs and vim modes exist already.

- Do some neat Web demos with the Wasm backend. It's pretty easy now to make a Wasm module with imports and then supply those imports from JS.

- In Wizard, do a complete WASI implementation on Linux/MacOS.

- Do something with node.js and Virgil compiled to Wasm. I wrote a node.js wrapper than can load Wasm modules and there's a semi-complete System implementation on node.

- Get source-level stack traces working with the Wasm backend. Just involves some callbacks and getting the meta section into the Wasm binary.

i’ve been working on a web-framework for Deno called "cobain". would be cool to work with someone on it, and be able to bounce ideas off of.

what separates this web-framework from others (aside from the grunge and punk aesthetic) is a heavy focus on function composition and developer experience. without much effort, as a developer you will be able to deploy your app as

- lambda/serverless function (deno deploy compatibility),

- standalone monolith

- microservice

in addition, i created a small concept of a templating engine similar to swift-ui and react called "peep" that doesn't do anything special syntax wise (its just JavaScript for real this time).

the really awesome part is that the web-framework and the templating language use the same pattern for "decorating" functions utilizing a deep-safe-map builder-like dsl. (which im currently struggling with) to avoid accessing and setting already previously used keys.

i think the most appealing part of this is the opportunity to break fresh ground on a javascript runtime that will likely be used in the next 3-6 years.

you can contact me on GitHub or my email on my profile.

I am trading crypto, options and stocks based on news (e.g. Twitter, YouTube, Reddit) in manual and algorithmic fashion (it feels a lot like Factorio: manual first then automate it). I don’t believe in technical analysis, and I think the efficient market hypothesis is mostly true and love Fama’s work (and sometimes I am first!). The biggest reason I do this is because it feels like a PhD that can actually pay well. A…

I building an app that helps crypto investors (traders will be added later), discover good projects. There are many projects of varying quality and the great ones frequently go under the radar until they have done multiple X's. My thesis is that it would be a good idea to have a service that brings them to investor's attention early. I'd love to connect and get input/collaboration from people who know the space.

C# GAMEDEV (HOBBY/OSS):

I'm making an OSS C# game engine. https://github.com/NotNotTech/NotNot It's an ECS engine very similar in features to Unity Dots.

I just finished the graphics/io bindings it will use: https://github.com/NotNotTech/Raylib-CsLo

I have a stable income from my SaaS business so this is more than just a hobby project for me. I'd like to turn it into a viable oss project plus a commercial option some day.

My vision is to create a top-down spaceship game with it, and create a simple gamedev framework for kids to learn C# programming with. using the feature needs of both of those to drive engine development.

I'm studying mathematics. Now on chapter 11 in Spivak's Calculus.

Interested in learning stats, differential geometry, classical mechanics, relativity, and quantum after.

Would be interested in discussing math ideas, proofs, problems.

Happy to learn/teach if you are close but above/below where I am at right now.

I'm working on tools/projects to unify, access, interact and use my personal data for quantified self, knowledge management, etc. A couple of examples: - https://github.com/karlicoss/HPI#readme - https://github.com/karlicoss/promnesia#readme Would very much love to discuss it with other people, collaborate etc.

Your work (and gyroscope/stethscope/other aggregators) has inspired me to also start my own work at creating a centralized aggregator to ingest all of my data.
