#282I'm working on devices to aid in learning and application of topics.
Could you elaborate?

#283I'm working on computational chemistry, with the very long-term (decades) goal of designing molecules (proteins/enzymes) for things like artificial photosynthesis and molecular computing (chips still rely on the bulk properties of semiconductors; for miniaturization to continue, at some point it will become necessary to design molecules to function as logic and interconnect). See https://github.com/pbsurf/chem
You might want to get into contact with CA Schafmeister which also develops a Common Lisp implementation clasp with focus on HPC.

#284I'd love to work with people who want to find ways to build low cost 802.11ax mesh implementations. Think high powered raspberry pis (or their equivalents) being customized to compete with the crazy high costs of Orbi implementations. And I absolutely have zero interest in the monetary value here. RPi + wifi shields + fun is what counts. If you're interested, I'd love to team up! And I bring all kinds of nerdy engine…
It looks like from the responses here, we could at the very least create a community?

#285I'm a former software engineer (way former, like 20 years ago) and current tax attorney -- call myself a "tax technologist." Looking to work on any projects at the intersection of the two.

#286I’m working on a search engine crawled by users themselves. If I think about it, I'm not interested in 99% of the web. Therefore I don't need to deal with exhaustively crawling the entire web.
Hypothetically, if I could access only the sites visited by the HN crowd, that would be fine by me. Somebody in an art community might feel similarly. If there were some metric the crawlers could use to rate a page (time spent on page, manually downvote, etc), then the signal/noise ratio would be really good.
Obviously if I wanted to do a really broad search, I'd use a typical search engine, but if it's tech related, I wouldn't mind pages that have been browsed by HN.

#287Currently developing a distributed transcoder-as-a-service to compete with the likes of AWS's Elastic Transcoder and Google's Transcoder API. By my math, I can transcode the same file in half the time and at 1/20 or so of the cost of those guys.
Hoping to get into this summer's YC and looking for one or two co-founders.
I am mostly a business/marketing guy who can hold his own in devops/backend, but no where near professional.
Looking for at least a backend co-founder who knows GO (ideally K8s, containers, and CI/CD, as well).
A talented frontend co-founder would always make things a lot easier, as well.
I am currently working on this ~10 hours a day in preparation for the Summer YC class. If anybody is looking for a project with some potential, hit me up!

#288The web has gotten boring. I'm starting a static web host where every page is remixable by default. One click and you have a copy of any web page hosted on the platform. Not only that, but the front-end code (HTML, CSS, JS) is treated as the source of truth. Whatever changes the owner makes to a page (through DevTools, some custom JS, or clicking a button that does something) is saved permanently to the DB. This make…
You can also add page versioning and forks to this! If I want to see an older version of the page I like: click click click I have a (like really) permalink If I wanna modify a page that someone else made, fork and edit! It's like Github, but for our pages! (too many exclamations smh)
I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not but there is literally something called github pages that does exactly what you describe.

#289Perhaps someone reading this might be interested in developing a joint national branding strategy and national development strategy for Thailand. More details here and here:

#290I was thinking it would be nice to exercise in VR, but I would have to pick something aerobic I wouldn't mind doing blindfolded, which rules out a lot, but I think a row machine could work. So I'm imagining a pacific-island-navigate-by-the-stars simulator, maybe speed up time so 8 hours of night become 30 minutes of cardio. Choose a couple of islands to row between, get some directions of which star to follow, and ge…
I've been doing a lot of Zwift (cycling) and am itching to make a VR cycling app, I just don't have the time or money to do it myself. If you manage to get something working for rowing I'd be happy to test it out, and to try and help get bike and steering sensor hooked up and try out a "paddleboat" mode or something. I'm also happy to chat about tech/dev side of it, I've been doing game dev for a while now, I'd be glad to tell you how I'd build it. Shoot me an email (joeld42@gmail.com) if you want to chat about VR fitness sometime.
btw, the Vive and the Quest2 both already do motion compensation, even if your game lags a little bit they reproject it so you don't notice if you drop a few frames, a big lag will still cause problems but the headsets take care of the predictive motion stuff.
