Scaling my businesses from $4M profits to around $12M in profits. I think there is a huge opportunity in the dampening of the financial markets, to use that to get people to buy my products and services.

What is your business? I'm starting out now at $0 profits. Hope to change that this year.

I have multiple businesses. All online, some in the B2B space and some in the B2C space. My biggest tip would be: focus on the supply chain. Supply chains are the secret to business. It took me a decade of failures to get this fact. If you ever played factorio, therein lies the secret to business. The rest of it is just funnel optimization.

Over the summer I got into genealogy — my partner tasked me with finding her biological parents. I did, and afterward, I took a DNA test of my own only to discover that my mom failed to tell me something (she passed away a few years ago): who my biological father is. This was a surprise to me, my dad, and many others. Some of her girlfriends knew this situation existed, but never got a name. And so I spent my summer…

Have you submitted your DNA results to 23andMe or other services? Is this how you were doing the "color clustering", by matching 2nd and 3rd cousins from matches on those sites?

I have no experience in the matter but presumably there's some research for familial facial recognition? So maybe you could collect family photos or "scrape" facebook local to your area to see if you get any hits? Its pretty speculative but maybe it'd be worth a shot?

I have a little experience in bioinformatics so I'd be happy to help inasmuch as I'm able, if that's something you'd want or need. Regardless I would love to hear more about what methods you've tried (and presumably been unsuccessful in).

The last few years, I've generally been working on video game and UI stuff with Rust. Recently, and for the foreseeable future, I've transitioned from working on my own stuff, to contributing to the Bevy[0] game engine, on the rendering side of things. Temporal antialiasing, screen space ambient occlusion, bloom, image based lighting, etc. It's been very rewarding working on an established project, rather than my own stuff.

I'm working on improving & scaling up my startup - https://www.hairstyleai.com

It's an app that let's you try on new hairstyles with AI technology.

Launched the MVP in November and released the full app in December.

It was well received so now my focus is on making it the best possible experience for users & doubling down on marketing.

My oldest daughter will turn 8 this year. These days I'm planning which would be best computer/software/OS for her (if any), but nothing in the market fits my requirements as a father. There is so much noise, distraction and overall bullshit in today's computers that I don't think it is healthy or appropriate for her. So I'm planning to make a custom (software) solution. A small set of focused, minimal, productive an…

i would recommend a chromebook. cheap, simple, and probably what she'll use at school.

I'm a developer for the OSS Serratus project, https://www.serrartus.io where we have a web-portal used to explore where RNA viruses show up in public sequencing datasets (we've analyzed ~21 petabytes of sequencing data to make this dataset). There's lots of rich meta-data associated with these RNA sequencing datasets, so what I'm trying to do is create meaningful meta-data aggregation and associate them with differen…

My old video game from 2004 [1] is now older than I was when I wrote it, and I recently found the C++ source and sprites in one of my archives, so I'm rewriting it in TypeScript as a personal challenge. The C++ code no longer builds (it's missing proprietary dependencies), and I no longer have the binaries or even the hardware needed to run them (it's a PocketPC game). If I manage to finish the rewrite, I'll get in t…

The sprites look gorgeous. This could probably make money as a mobile app! Did you consider it?

Agreed. Commenting as an additional vote of confidence in this project.

My stock discovery algo[0] averaged 21% daily increase last month and we're launching in a couple of weeks. Post launch we're going to be working on buying/selling alerts to save people from having to watch charts all day (which I do, but I enjoy it). Also a few more features we're looking at, such as crypto analysis. But with the current bear market, I'm less enthused that it's a worthwhile avenue currently. 0: http…

I'm interested in knowing if you'll have an API at some point. I'd love to integrate this with LogicTrader (https://logictrader.xyz), which is crypto only for now but can be expanded to stocks too.
