Re: Ask HN: Who wants to collaborate?
#82I 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.
>> based on news (e.g. Twitter, YouTube, Reddit)
This may be part of the motivation.

#83Earlier quoted context omitted.
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?
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.

#84If you are looking to do some collective good, consider a wildlife conservation project. I created a GUI wrapper around a popular AI model for object detection for wildlife conservation [0] The idea is that most ecologists don't have the technical expertise to run such models, so making their life easier is an important task. The use of AI also saves them loads of time. The project was born when I got in touch with N…
This kind of thing is what Wildlabs is all about: https://www.wildlabs.net/

#85I'm reading through the neuroscience and related literature to compile a list of data and systems relevant for designing algorithms of interest. I'd like to share my hobby with other like-minded people.

#86If you are into autonomous sailboats, robotics, rust, or combinations thereof, let me know :)
What's the best way to contact you? It's been ~2 years since my last robotics project, but interested to learn more.

#87I 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…
What ML framework or Lang you working in?
Re: Ask HN: Who wants to collaborate?
#88I 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 recycle the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (and the other ocean gyres.)
An overview of the general strategy: Start with toys, both computers and the flying machines. Grow a community of folks to do distributed research and manufacturing. Collect and amass enough subunits (the flying machines are cellular) to build a machine large enough to reach the GPGP and return with some trash. Recycle the trash into raw materials (possibly using molten salt oxidation) to make more machines to collect more trash to make more raw materials, and so on...
There are a lot of details, obviously, but that's the gist of it. It probably sounds crazy but I'm seriously, I think it's doable, worthwhile, and fun. If you're interested send me an email (my username is sforman and the server is hushmail.com.)

That sounds super interesting. Two questions: 1) Do you work remotely or are you in DRC? 2) What are some good ways to find job opportunities at the intersection of software engineering and wildlife conversation?
I know some communities that are aiming at climate in general and not focused on wildlife specifically but may have some related opportunities. Work On Climate, climate action tech and my climate journey.
