I'm not able to help, but you don't have any contact details listed against your profile or in this post. How is anyone able to contact you? At the very least what's a link to your startup's website?
Sorry I thought my email was on my HN profile. I am sitting behind david[at]hexafarms.com
If you want users to have it from your profile, put it in the “about” field.
We are working on a totally new way to do cold fusion, our only problem is getting enough new fuel into the reactor without disturbing the running process. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have posted this here before- hexafarms.com. I am trying to use ML to discover optimal phenotype for growing plants in vertical indoor farms to a. have the higest quality produce b. to lower the cost of producing leafy green/med plants, etc. within cities itself. Basically, every leafy green (and herbs, and even mushrooms), can grow in a range of climatic condition (phenotype, roughly) ie temperature, humidity, wat…
I heard about a greenhouse company that has programmed their climate control to match “best growing conditions historical weather”. So, they ask local experts what year / location had the best X and then they use that region’s historical weather and replay it in their greenhouse. I thought that was brilliant!
(Just realized this was Kimbal Musk that mentioned this)
How visually implement process in the app? I.e. how to guide users over complex process they need to do in the app to achieve success? The process might span different medium (write email, do something in the app, check twitter, etc) and different activities multiple days. How to make sure they know what they should do next? Checklist? Emails? Slack? Wizard?
Reasoning: helping with the code behind a paper on explanatory AI systems.

EDIT: thanks for suggestions will give them a spin throughout tomorrow :)
How to get my kids to bed to bed.
Ok, I'm double dipping. Another problem I'm trying to solve is: I've got a database of several hundred interesting conversation questions that I've collected over the years. Essentially just strings, though I've attempted to categorize them, rank them, and add other metadata. I'd like to figure out a way to sort them or dedupe them based on semantic similarity, but I'm not sure how to determine semantic similarity wi…
Put the questions in some semantic embedding space. Now you’ll have a vector representing each question. Then for each question, you can sort all the questions by how far the Euclidean distance is between their vectors. Or use some clustering algorithm like k-means to find clusters. By web search I found this to tutorial to put sentences in an embedding space: https://github.com/BramVanroy/bert-for-inference/blob/mas…
Mastodon is a pretty inspirational project but the Twitter influence shows, I miss the long form writing that was encouraged before our attention spans were eroded.
Not at all close to solving it, but it’s been on my mind for a long time. Would love to hear if there are others like me out there and what you imagine such a community to look like.

Interesting... My to-go solution for this would be a detailed wiki page with screenshots, and link to that from a bunch of places. But I guess that's not an ideal solution really.
We are having atrocious READ/WRITE latency with our PG database (api layer is django rest framework). The table that is the issue consists of multiple JSON BLOB fields, with quite a bit of data— I am convinced these need to be abstracted to their own relational tables. Is this a sound solution? I believe it is the deserialization in these fields of large nested JSON BLOBS that is causing latency. Note: this database…
Are you just doing primary key lookups? If so, a new index won’t do much as Postgres already has you covered there. If you have any foreign key columns, add indexes on them. And if you’re doing any joins, make sure the criteria have indexes. Similarly, if you’re filtering on any of the nested JSON fields, index them directly. This alone may be sufficient for your perf problems. If it isn’t, then here’s some tips for…
