Earlier quoted context omitted.

pls contact me at morphle at ziggo dot nl so I get you in contact with a tiny house builder who will test your prototype on his houses and land

> "Because of its reliance on radiative cooling, the Skytherm concept is best suited for areas of low humidity and clear nights" Hopefully the tiny house builder has clients outside of the Netherlands. (-:

You can get a hightech offgrid mobile tiny house in Arizona, California, Portugal or Spain with a large roof water tank for thermal mass. Soon we will start offering this Skytherm addition so you can regulate the water temperature, but first we want to build this first prototype. The Fiberhood Coop construct the custom "software defined" tiny houses in Spain and ships them worldwide.

If you're interested - Piano Gym is looking for others who are interested in building out our existing website and tools Here's a quick video explaining it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faxNDhOjlh4 Piano Gym is a learning and practice ecosystem focused on prioritizing music theory and performance skills acquisition through the use of flash cards. We use flash cards in order to pair them with modern learning techni…

Tweeted at you but copying here for visibility! Am a full stack dev, and enthusiast pianist and have hacked on some music software in the past. Would be interested in contributing!

Mostly comfortable in TS web frameworks, React / Angular / Node

I'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 most probably aware, but just wanted to highlight that latest Nobel Prize winners in Chemistry are currently involved in similar projects.

Peptide vaccines are different from mRNA vaccines, but they share some aspects, notably the (very) low cost, ability to be designed and tailored to a specific target. They exist since a long time, but they are not very efficient, so they never went mainstream [0].

I wrote my own suite of software to design such vaccines [1]. I wonder if someone have some comment or suggestion.

Thanks! (my email is in my profile)

I am working on something involving algorithmic trading - nothing too fancy, just modifying positions based on indicators. I would love to collaborate with someone with a quant/algo background.

I don't have a quant/algo trading background. My only experience in this area is from several years ago when I dabbled with QuantConnect (IIRC, at that time they didn't have option price history). However, I have always wondered if one could use stock price history and option price history to do the following: 1. Select an underlying asset (or small set of underlying assets) to focus on 2. Select a simple strategy ov…

Buying Call and Put at same strike and expiration is just simple Long Straddle position, typically used near Earnings announcements, when you are expecting underlying to move significantly but not sure of direction. You don't need a neural network to do this. Look up books by Lawrence McMillan and Sheldon Nutenberg to learn more about options trading.

I'm in a volunteer role as CIO for a nonprofit focused on human trafficking, and we're building a new investigations and case-management platform using Svelte/TypeScript/SvelteStrap, Rust/Rocket, and Postgres (and likely Neo4j at some point) because the options out there are either poor or very expensive. Once we have something working and solid, we're going to open-source it and provide it to other groups in similar…

I'm down to help out on anything. I am a self-taught software engineer since 2016, prior to that I was a supply chain optimization consultant. Currently employed as a senior software engineer. My experience (* means strong): - full stack development (mobile/browser UI, backend). Experience includes nodeJS*, Go, React*/Angular, Flutter*/React-Native/Swift, AWS/DO/GCP - bunch of side projects where I've taught myself d…

I'm looking to support any climate-tech projects. I'm a mobile dev but can pick up any language / framework / tool. Particularly interested in ReFi and the intersection between web3 and climate.

I’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…

Are there more compelling use-cases than creating public-good kind of whitelists? What incentives encourage sharing of websites? I can list some undesirable incentives: marketing, "shilling" products, MLM promotions. Don't get me wrong, i'm not a cynic, rather, i'm trying to play the part of devil's advocate here. Overall, i'm excited about the idea as I'm quite certain that altruism will prevail and the community will develop well curated website recommendations that make navigating the web a better experience.

I'll start off with my prototype: https://elegant-shaw-2cb49a.netlify.app/votevote Anyone into electoral methods or game theory? If you've ever watched CGP Grey's videos on electoral methods or seen Nicky Case's *To Build a Better Ballot*,[1] it's very much in the spirit of that. It's mostly a toy that will run a single election in a large number of different electoral methods. Currently I've implemented ~26 differen…

What are the 26 different electoral methods? I only see three simulated.
