#222I'm starting a 100% Worker Owned For-Profit residential Trash and Recycling Co-operative All profits go into the neighborhoods we serve and our bylaws are based on the US Constitution. No investors or different class shares. Management term limits, workers vote for CEO and a cooperative ombudsman (termed) for representation during yearly plan/budget proposal. The CEO proposes a yearly plan/budget to the collective of…
> our bylaws are based on the US Constitution
The same constitution that consistently puts a the party that gets fewer votes into power? If I were to every start a business, that's the last place I'd look for inspiration.

#223At the moment a lot of planes are bought and sold through facebook groups and the sites that exist are either brokerages charging a % or very old school/poor UX. I'm working on my own marketplace with the key info available and a better UX (maps to find planes at airports near you) etc. Monetization ideas, if it ever goes that far, would be simple sponsored planes higher on the search page like your normal recruitment jobs site.

#224After covid hit I stopped running the Candy Japan subscription box and moved on to making games on Roblox. I’ve had a good start with it, and want to keep improving and releasing more games. Perhaps I’ll also try some other platforms/side projects as well to avoid getting too stuck on just one platform.
Sorry to hear Candy Japan shut down. Can you share how profitable roblox games are?

#225Launching an esp32-based camera (both hardware and software) with night vision and motion detection to make it easier to play with different camera sensors, their settings, and TFLite CNNs. It would also support integration with Home Assistant for DYI home automation projects. https://maxlab.io/portfolio/portfolio-camera-module/
Are you running a CNN on an ESP32? Is that even possible with so little stack and heap? PRRAM is slow
The ESP32-S3 introduces vector instructions which are supported by TFLite already. See here - https://github.com/espressif/esp-nn#performance
S3 also supports Octal PSRAM vs the single lane SPI PSRAM found on the older ESP32-CAM style boards, should be 8x the bandwidth with all else equal. So far I've only seen the octal PSRAM's available on WROOM modules and it looks likes there only support for Espressif branded Octal PSRAM chips at this point.

#227Started playing with GPT3, and building services on top of it. I built what I believe is a compelling service (unfortunately if I monetize it, it'll probably be replaced by openAI easily)

#228I’ve been starting and growing a live theater venue in San Francisco for the past couple years, taking a break from the tech world. It’s finally starting to build some good momentum and I’ve even got some paid employees now. This year I’m hoping to get it self-sustaining enough that I can leave it largely in the hands of capable management and start dabbling on the tech ideas I’ve been kicking around.
I’m especially excited about harnessing some of the recent advances in ML. There’s been a ton of exciting advances that haven’t been fully productized yet. And maybe ActivityPub has some cool things that could be built now that people are starting to actually get the value of federation. The last few years have been frustrating, with most of the smart tech builders I know wasting their time on crypto. But finally it seems like people’s eyes are clearing a bit. Lots of exciting times ahead.
But I’ve got to get the theater to a good enough spot first.

#229Earlier quoted context omitted.
I'm interested in following your progress on this. I have a 2 year old who I want to show computers/computational systems to as early as possible. I followed you on Twitter... but is there somewhere I can subscribe to hear more about this project in particular?
Thanks, I guess Twitter is the best option, yup. I'm also in mastodon, same username at c.im. But I must warn you that I'm not the most focused, perseverant person.. I also have a 3yo, so if I'm late for the older one, we still have time left for our young ones :D
Haha, nice. And same — maintaining focus is hard :)

#230Overall theme: Improving my language skills. My hypothesis is that language is the closest we have to a (lossy) codec for thought. By becoming more cognizant of higher-level concepts and the differences between them, we can reason more effectively and improve our thought and communication processes. 1. Get back into the habit of writing and reviewing evergreen notes ( https://notes.andymatuschak.org/Evergreen_notes ,…
Sophisticated has a Greek root, like sophistry or Sophia, sophomoric, philosophy, etc., σοφος, meaning wise.
Looking it up, it seems like that Greek root acquired a few different meanings or connotations in Late Latin.
