I’m exploring how reinforcement learning can be applied to safely carry out Solar Geoengineering in order to delay the damage from climate change. https://arxiv.org/abs/1905.07366
Ask HN: Who wants to collaborate?

Re: Ask HN: Who wants to collaborate?
#122I am working on a project whos intent is to harness unused computational power from unused/rarely used servers or other devices, and allows a business to run background jobs on this spare compute.
Think BOINC but for enterprise. I've never validated this idea if its actually something businesses would use, but I've had fun coding it so far as just a side project.
I have been overwhelmed since I have not built anything like this before, It would be useful to have someone to bounce ideas off of and work with. The plan down the line is to open source this codebase. It would be great if you are familiar with:
-IPFS
-Golang
-Decentralized databases
Details should be in my profile. Also, I work on VR browser Games so if you are interested in collabing on that let me know.

#123I run a side (open source) project called Iconduck ( https://iconduck.com ). It collects and makes open source icons, illustrations and graphics available to download in various formats. The goal is to collect sets from across the web (atm, mainly Gumroad and GitHub) that have open source licenses that allow for them to be available on a central site. I then use a service called Typesense ( https://typesense.org/ ) t…
Cool, might start using this instead of svgrepo

#124I have an idea to replace posting on Facebook/Twitter where you sell your and your readers privacy with posting on your own blog. To achieve this, blogging platforms (I am aiming to WordPress right now) must remove the obstacles in user experience: people stopped blogging and switched to Facebook because posting on FB has more profits: it is easier (just visit front page of FB instead of logging to wp-admin and doing…
Aren't you reinventing ActivityPub?
Or indieweb. Or making improvements somehow?

#125I have a sort of constellation of projects that fit together into an overarching project, and I'd love to have some other people interested or even collaborating on it. The goals are: - Make computers that easier to understand and use (than current systems.) - Make large flying machines to enable cheap and efficient mass transport of people and materials. (Like huge, kilometer-scale kite/blimps.) - Collect and recycl…
> Make computers that easier to understand
This piqued my interest. I've talked with some older people who had computers in their home during childhood and they told me about tinkering with them and so on. Those were of course much simpler machined than we have today, and I ended up feeling like they had a more intimate relationship with the computer than their younger counterparts. How are you planning to accomplish that?

#126I'm a software engineer who had to take a break from my career for a few years. I want to re-enter the workforce soon, and I need to brush up on what I've missed. I'm looking for other software engineers who are in a similar place and also need to catch up.
My E-Mail is on my HN "about" page.

#127I'm building a postgres extension that allows you to do web searches using a SQL query. The idea is to be able to pull in data from the web with some structure (which you define using custom scrapers) on demand.
Right now I have a proof of concept that's pretty simple. It's a multicorn extension that calls to a FastAPI backend. I have it all running using docker-compose.
I'm open to working with people that want to use it, or people that want to build it. I don't have any real plans to open source it or commercialize it. It's just a little side project I think is neat. I'm open to any ideas or use cases you might have.
Send me an email (in profile) or dm. Looking forward to it!

#128We’re building a Golang library designing DNA. Most synthetic biology tools are essentially crap Python scripts - we’re looking at building maintainable tools for the next 10-20 years https://github.com/timothystiles/poly
This looks like a very fun thing to get into, and I love the idea of being able to help in this new (for me) field. However, thumbing through the issues listed in the GH repo leaves me realizing that there is a bunch of terminology that I would need to catch up on (15% of the stuff feels familiar). Any pointers on what stuff I could read / study that would serve as a nice primer into the terms and ideas being coded a…
Could you leave us a git issue on terminology you don't understand? We've tried to make the documentation in the code to make it clearer to non-biologists what is going on (for example, https://github.com/TimothyStiles/poly/blob/prime/seqhash/seq...), but we're honestly too deep to really understand what is not known and how to explain nicely what is going on. If you could help us with asking naive questions that'd help us write a nice primer (which is very useful, since we'd like to recruit more software engineers rather than biologists).

#129I've become a pretty visible artist in the NFT space, and want to wear my startup hat again in web3. Have ideas I'm doing. Would love to connect with with solidity and dApp devs

First off, king of kyiv sounds a bit immature and somewhat narcissistic. Second, why would you impoverish and burden Ukrainian women with scummy incel types?
