I'm not exactly sure why, but your website gives off a very "scammy" vibe, even tough your discuss other scams on it, and since you're seemingly here in earnest, seems valid. Maybe it's something about the color theme of the site (dark text on dark background, strange choices of colors etc) or the weird element structure, low quality photos. Not entirely sure why. Some things do read a bit weird on the website, but m…

This is a comedy answer. Ukraine is a very racist country and I don't advise people to travel here if they are of these groups. However, as I say, if you still want to I will help.

Quoted post unavailable.

First off, king of kyiv sounds a bit immature and somewhat narcissistic. Second, why would you impoverish and burden Ukrainian women with scummy incel types?

I help fix them. The success rate is so far 100%.

I'm quitting my full-time job this month (already gave my notice) to start a startup with my brother. We're trying to make cheap-but-performant prosthetic hands using 3D printers and Arduino, focusing on the north-west of Syria. To shed some light, it's estimated that around *50 THOUSAND* people suffer from minor or major imputations due to the ongoing war, and most of them need some form of prosthetics. Some estimat…

Great project

A couple of years ago I started to build a tool for my own personal use. It ended up being a metaverse full of sticky notes. I'm currently seeing if there's a market for it outside of just myself - https://www.temin.net/ Give me a shout if you're interested in turning it into something - email is in my profile.

hey Oliver, awesome project, I will definitely try it and I am also interested in developing it further - Miro is breaking new record every month, so totally worth to compete.

Also it could be an interesting intersection between laptop (where you create data and put things to the boards) and VR (where you navigate, process and work with data). I am not sure about MVP, but surely there is so many usecases, starting from personal collection of knowledge to teamwork, project documentations etc.

I created a toolkit to evaluate many different speech recognition engines. https://github.com/robmsmt/SpeechLoop Comparing speech systems can take a long time esp for a dev who doesn't have the background in audio/ml. How do you know which one will work best? Will new shiny transformer model perform well enough? Most end up using one of the big tech companies existing API to throw their data at. Whilst this is conven…

I developed a speech recognition service for journalists couple years ago, now migrating it to voxpop.live (it was speech.media). Unfortunately, ASR I used (Amazon) wasn't good enough in Russian (my main target was Russian journalists). Now, I am thinking what to do next with it, lets get in touch and exchange ideas?

The best on the market AST in my opinion is Speechmatics, but to use it commercially you need to deposit $10k. Btw there are services that let you train your own model, i.e. https://www.defined.ai

Also as an idea, to use GPT-3 and correct any model response (punctuation, summary) but its gonna be expensive!

I'm working on tools/projects to unify, access, interact and use my personal data for quantified self, knowledge management, etc. A couple of examples: - https://github.com/karlicoss/HPI#readme - https://github.com/karlicoss/promnesia#readme Would very much love to discuss it with other people, collaborate etc.

The idea is definitely in the air, but I guess its hard right know to come up with practical use cases. I mean I do believe and want to control my digital trace, but at the end of the day I don't know what to do with it except maybe visualize it on virtual whiteboards like Temin - the project showcased among others several threads above.

For privacy maniacs, of course it would be awesome to add functionality and destroy your traces, but I doubt you could achieve it with current API's.

Also interesting maybe to produce high-level analysis of your personality traits based on messages-comments-articles you write (but to use how later - I am not sure)

I am working on a project whos intent is to harness unused computational power from unused/rarely used servers or other devices, and allows a business to run background jobs on this spare compute. Think BOINC but for enterprise. I've never validated this idea if its actually something businesses would use, but I've had fun coding it so far as just a side project. I have been overwhelmed since I have not built anythin…

this is exactly how https://www.next-kraftwerke.com built one of the biggest European power generation network - they used generators from important social infrastructure points, like hospitals. Usually these generators were used only as a backup power source, so basically they've been just standing there and loosing its value with time.

We’re building a Golang library designing DNA. Most synthetic biology tools are essentially crap Python scripts - we’re looking at building maintainable tools for the next 10-20 years https://github.com/timothystiles/poly

Have you guys ever considered frontend app for users to actually built am organism in the browser? I have no idea if its something that anybody needs in the world but this could be fun! I would be interested building that

I want to build an ultimate SaaS boilerplate / starter as a commercial product. The audacious goal is something like “build a Trello clone from git init to a live product in under 10 minutes” Looking for like-minded folks with any of the following skills: - strong React - UI/UX design - TypeScript - AWS - SaaS building - writers for docs, tutorials, articles, evangelization - product / project manager

but what is the real user story?

take a look at https://www.airplane.dev and https://www.scriptkit.com

Nice, I'll reach out to you.

Great insight into the use cases for Temin depending on the I/O. It took me using a desktop and VR headset to form the same opinions. Initially I thought my VR usage would be higher, but it's below 1% of the total time I spend inside Temin. VR is also pretty good for presenting/telepresence.

Mixed reality excites me way more than VR, so I'm keen to skate more towards that technology long-term.
