I work for a national park in the Democratic Republic on the Congo as a tech lead. Some of the things we are doing: LoRaWAN for tracking and emergency response, ML to identify gorillas by their unique nose prints, and long-range drones for mapping and surveillance, and a management web app. If you’re interested in conservation / sustainable development and associated technologies let me know! Always looking to collab…

How do you take the nose prints? Do you tranquilize them and then literally press their nose against a piece of paper covered in an inklike material or is it photo based?

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.

If you are into autonomous sailboats, robotics, rust, or combinations thereof, let me know :)

This sounds fun. Rust is amazing, and I've been playing with it on AVR chips lately. And I spent several summers sailing years ago. Email me if you'd like. Curious to know what you're working on.

I am working on INET256, an API and address standard + reference implementation for secure network communication.

https://github.com/inet256/inet256

Developers, applications, and end-users are under-served by the network layer. INET256 provides necessary features (stable addresses, encryption) to client applications, which usually have to reimplement those features themselves.

I'm a product manager looking for a talented technical co-founder for a niche SaaS tool venture.

I have validation, unique domain expertise and a strong "why now".

The plan is to exit within 4 years at a $5-10M valuation taking minimal or no external funding.

If this piques your interest, please drop me a message. Email on my profile.

The timing of this post is amazing me. Just an hour ago I was doing an internet search for how to host or participate in screen sharing while working on pet hobby projects. My thinking was “coding a side project on your own can get lonesome and stall. Wouldn’t it be neat to hangout with devs while coding, even if not speaking that much. Can share screens, be supportive.”

Sounds like Twitch for devs.

Really cool stuff. I wonder if face detection is sufficient too? It has been proven to work for brown bears [0].

I have also been doing some open source work [1] to democratise object detection in this space but I haven't had the time to make improvements to the project in a while.

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…

Very cool. Sorry you’re being downvoted. I wish you luck.
