Show HN: Turn any WiFi into a persistent group chat
4 by melvinmt | 1 comments on Hacker News.
Try it out on your WiFi: https://tapchat.com I’ve always been shocked at the fact that it’s easier to chat with someone on the other side of the world than with someone who is on the exact same WiFi as you. I think that is a shame because WiFi networks are essentially a bunch of existing micro-communities which your phone already automatically connects to. Think about how many other people have used or will use the same WiFi as you at home, school, work, or in public; and so far it has been practically impossible to chat or share pictures with them. After leaving my job earlier this year, I decided to work on a simple chat app that solves this problem, by simply opening a persistent group chat for every WiFi you connect to, which allows for long-lasting conversations and meaningful relationships everywhere you go. So far a great use case I've seen are college campuses where thousands of students connect to the same WiFi, and who can now all chat with each other. I'd love to see what else this can or will be used for. (Spoiler alert: the app doesn’t bother with mesh networks) Feedback is much appreciated! (the gentle kind)

Launch HN: Centaur Labs (YC W19) – Labeling Medical Images at Scale
1 by erikduhaime | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hello HN! We are Erik, Zach, and Tom, the founders of Centaur Labs ( https://centaurlabs.io ). We’ve built a platform where doctors, other medical professionals, and med students label medical images, improving datasets for AI. The idea grew out of Erik’s research when he was a PhD student at MIT’s Center for Collective Intelligence. In short, he found that by aggregating the opinions of multiple people--even including some people with little or no medical expertise--they could reliably distinguish cancerous moles from benign ones better than individual dermatologists. The three of us have been friends since we were undergrads. When we would chat about Erik’s research, it seemed like a no-brainer that there’d be demand for more accurate diagnoses. We all had our frustrations that as patients, you usually have to trust one doctor’s opinion. So we built a mobile app called DiagnosUs where users around the world analyze medical images and videos. Many are doctors who simply enjoy looking at cases or want to improve their skills. Other users like competing with their peers, seeing themselves on our leader boards, and winning cash prizes in our competitions. Different people (and algorithms) have different skills. Using data on how our users perform on cases with “gold standard” answers, we train a machine-learning model to identify how differently-skilled people complement each other and cover each other’s blind spots. The more we learn about our users’ skills and expertise, the better we get at aggregating their opinions. It is a bit like putting together the optimal trivia team: you don’t just need the five best people, you need someone who is good at pop culture, someone who knows sports, etc. Experts trained in the same way often have the same blind spots, so outcomes improve when you include a range of opinions. We initially thought we’d go straight to providing opinions on demand for consumers like ourselves. There aren’t nearly enough doctors to meet the demand around the world to have everyone’s medical images analyzed. But it didn’t take long to realize that our fledgling startup wasn’t yet prepared to deal with the regulatory issues that would entail. Meanwhile, we’d been hearing for years that AI was on the verge of replacing radiology, but it seemed like the hype didn’t match the reality. Many companies trying to develop medical AI are impeded by bad data. They try to hire doctors to go through thousands or millions of images and re-label them, but this has proven hard for them to manage and scale. Our customers have giant medical datasets and want to use them to train AI. But the quality of the data holds them back, and they can’t find nearly enough doctors to label the data accurately. Our platform provides a high volume of labels quickly, and our performance analytics enables us to get highly accurate labels from groups of people with a range of skills. We’d love to hear from anyone working on medical AI who’s faced the challenge of dealing with flawed datasets. If you’re interested in trying our app, you can download DiagnosUs for iOS in the App Store. Thanks for reading!

Launch HN: Trexo Robotics (YC W19) – Robotic Legs for Kids with Cerebral Palsy
4 by manmeet | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HN community! We're Rahul and Manmeet, co-founders of Trexo Robotics ( http://bit.ly/2vuDyoN ) At Trexo Robotics, we're building wearable robotic devices to help children with disabilities learn to walk, in many cases for the first time in their lives. Video: https://youtu.be/3LW4LJIpa2o We are both Mechatronics undergrads from the University of Waterloo. Rahul later completed a Master's in Robotics at the University of Toronto and I've done my MBA at Rotman. We started this a few years ago when I (Manmeet) found out that my nephew, Praneit, has Cerebral Palsy, and that he would not be able to walk. Not walking can lead to contractures, hip subluxation, and many physiological and psychological issues for kids. We wanted to change that. We decided to use our robotics background, along with help from friends and the top rehabilitation researches in North America, and in 2016, watched my nephew take his first steps using our device. Watching Praneit walk is definitely the proudest moment of my life, and we realized that there are families all over the world that can benefit from this, so we started Trexo Robotics. The Trexo device is available for $899 per month (via financing) or can be purchased outright for $29,900. It is an exercise and therapy tool, allowing children to get the benefits of daily walking at their homes. We decided to design it so that it attaches onto an existing walker. Currently, it only works with Rifton's Dynamic Pacer, but hopefully, we can add other walkers later on as well. Our controller allows you to modify the gait pattern to adapt to the needs of different kids and adjust the amount of force/assistance that the robot provides on each joint. We are already launched, with kids using it to walk thousands of steps daily. It has been amazing to see the interest of families. Our device is available for pre-order. Our 2019 production is already fully reserved, and we are now taking reservations for next year. Really interested to hear the HN community's thoughts on our approach, and experiences families or others have had in this space.

Show HN: Office Hours – Hold office hours by phone anytime, anywhere
2 by rpavuluri | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hello HN! My name is Rohan Pavuluri, and I’m launching an iPhone app called Office Hours ( https://apple.co/2IK0usY... ). The app lets you hold “office hours” by phone anytime, anywhere. You can think of it as the green Facebook messenger symbol but for calls. In real time, easily let your network know that you’re free to accept calls. And easily find out who in your network is free to accept a call from you. I built Office Hours as a side project on the weekends with a friend to address the personal pain I feel scheduling phone calls. I run a nonprofit, and I love having conversations with everyone who reaches out to learn more about our work. But these conversations are generally painful to schedule for two reasons: 1. The back-and-forth email exchange to find a time slot is exhausting. 2. I don’t want to commit to time slots on my calendar because something that takes priority -- aka anything directly work-related -- may come up. Calendly doesn’t solve this. Given that I have deadtime during grocery shopping, commutes, and other errands, I thought to myself, what if I could easily schedule all of these calls during my deadtime? What if I could just turn “on” my “office hours” and send a notification to “followers” that I’m free to chat? I also wanted to follow my friends and mentors and get notifications when they’re free, so I could eliminate the friction involved with scheduling. That's how I got the idea for Office Hours. How it works if you have inbound requests for your time: just download the app, add people who want to talk to you as “Followers”, and they’ll get a notification whenever you turn on your Office Hours. Whenever you’re on a call with someone who follows you, your Office Hours automatically close to your other Followers. How it works if you want to request someone else’s time: just send them a Follow request. If they accept your request, you’ll get a notification when they open up their Office Hours. When you see they’re free, you can give them a call through the app. I’m looking for any feedback, particularly around potential use cases. Some ideas: professional networking that’s not time-sensitive such as career advice chats, social catch-ups with friends and family, and teachers and students. In the future, I hope to implement VoIP, so I can make it easier to schedule calls internationally. I also hope to implement end-to-end encryption. Feel free to email hi@getofficehours.com with any feedback too.

Show HN: High Schoolers start video series on how to write data structures in C
2 by logicprog | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hi everyone! We (Christopher and Govind) have started a video tutorial series of 20-25 minute long episodes on how to make various common computer science data structures, such as vectors, linked lists, hashmaps, and so on. So far, we’ve done a two-part series on how to implement vectors. Links to parts one and two of the Vectors series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vr0KzD_Owxc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3kgbdhUIxU (Sorry about the low quality of the video in the first link, we accidentally recorded in 720p. The second part is in 1080p!) Although so far only one of us has done a video series on a data structure, we plan on taking turns to cover the most common data structures. Our endgame is to use all these data structures we build up to write a simple C compiler in a longer series of videos. We have some plans to use a partially scripted setup to streamline the explanations of core concepts, and are currently simultaneously working on episodes on linked lists and hashmaps. Let us know what you guys think!

Show HN: PwnedPasswords as a (Micro)Service
4 by ttt111222333 | 1 comments on Hacker News.
Recently I became interested in knowing whether the passwords I used were in the list of breached passwords. One way to find out is to send your password to the link here http://bit.ly/2vrGHam. However, while the owner of that website is a well respected security researcher, I still don't think it's wise to send my password to another website. So I downloaded the 24gb file, hashed my password and grepped the file for it. That unfortunately took a long time and I realized this was the perfect opportunity to use a BloomFilter and test the inclusion of a password in a set. With a bloomfilter, the 24gb file can be compressed down to ~2gb assuming a false positive rate of 1 in a million. You can achieve even better rates with lower false positives. Despite it dropping to 2gb, I wasn't satisfied and decided to compress the bloomfilter using golomb codes. This type of data structure is known as a golomb set and I was able to get the database down to ~1.475gb. That makes it small enough to exist in a microservice that any company can use to test whether users are using hacked passwords. With a golomb set the time to test a password was microseconds. I made some node js bindings and put the file in a simple express app. Now anyone can create a pwned password as a micro-service! It's open source because you can audit the code and confirm no one is logging your passwords. Anyway thought I'd share it since I'm more or less done with this. Future work could split the 2gb file into on disk files and therefore require significantly less ram to work. This would be a great use case of storing the entire list in a laptop or phone for example, where it would take 1.5gb of disk, but be able to quickly tell you if a password you are typing is in a breached list. Anyways here's the link: http://bit.ly/2UVWv2M Cheers!

Show HN: Build Your Side Project Challenge
2 by laksmanv | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hey HN, http://bit.ly/2UCgluW I needed motivation to complete a side project I've been dabbling with for the past year, so I put together this sprint for myself -- realized others might benefit from going through the challenge as well so here it is. I'm also giving away a copy of my ebook, SideProject Book (www.sideprojectbook.com), as added motivation to ship!

Show HN: Vim gf-command improved
2 by koomenk | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Since a week ago I remembered myself of the awesome gf-command in Vim, which allows you to open the current filepath under the cursor in a new buffer. I thought to myself: Why am I never using this? Oh yeah, because this only works for filepaths relative to the buffer . As a javascript developer most of my time, that won’t help since I have webpack-configured projects which allows me to do some super cool absolute imports, but throws away the complete usage of the awesome gf-command. So I started a Vim plugin called gfi (goto file improved). The goal for me was to create a plugin that is plug ’n play, zero-configuration required for you to enjoy this simple but efficient plugin. So how does it work? When using this plugin your regular gf will be remapped and when pressing gf it always tries to resolve the file under the cursor using atleast the following logic: - relative to the current buffer - relative to Vim's current working directory - based on the git directory it is located in Implementing these 3 checks for every filetype made sense to me. Just having these 3 checks already makes gf already much more efficient want useful. If these 3 fail to retrieve a path then some filetypes may have additional checks. Javascript-like projects can be webpack-configured and thus may use absolute imports. These are done by checking the package.json in the root of the project. Golang path resolving for the import-statement is also taken into account. Since these imports are directories, the directory will be opened rather than a file, but it’s still more efficient, since gf does not open directories by default. A goal I have is hoping for contributions for as many languages as possible so that the gf command will be more useful for many more developers. If you have feedback or like to contribute, send me a mail or do your contribution via http://bit.ly/2IM2YpX

Show HN: Map for Game of Thrones
2 by el_cid | 1 comments on Hacker News.
We’ve updated Map for Game of Thrones with a lot of features since its launch, 2 years ago. In addition to the app’s staple feature, TV show recap, the user can now also review all 5 books in a similar, interactive manner. You can now step through all the scenes/chapters of any TV episode or book and enjoy: - a short summary of the scene/chapter - full description or synopsis - list of characters in the respective scene/chapter - the location on the interactive map - the full transcript (for episodes) The app is also a handy Game of Thrones lore companion. You can search and browse through detailed information of 600+ locations and 1200+ unique characters. For Season 8, we will be updating the app after each new episode. Any feedback would be appreciated!

4 by stevekemp | 0 comments on Hacker News.
This is a proof of concept utility which allows you to expose local services to the internet at large: http://bit.ly/2DrRzbl In short it is a simple ngrok alternative, which you can self-host. Because it is a proof of concept it hasn't been tested extensively, but it seems like it will solve my immediate-needs. Of course it needs test, and structure added. But feedback can't hurt :)

Show HN: Allparel - Fashion Search Powered by AI Generated Product Tags
14 by wooders | 1 comments on Hacker News.
TLDR - Check out http://allparel.io for clothing search that’s powered by AI generated product tags. TLDR #2 - If you’re interested in seeing what kind of tags are being generated, you can see a version of the site that displays them at http://allparel.tech Hi everyone! My name is Sarah and I'm a senior studying computer science at MIT. Over the past 9 months I've been working on Allparel (http://allparel.io). Allparel uses tags that are auto-generated from clothing product images in combination with product descriptions to match search and filter queries. I had the idea of using computer vision to improve text search a couple years ago while shopping on Urban Outfitters. Every time I searched something, almost everything (even products that should have been returned) would get filtered out. Because search didn't work, I instead had to browse pages upon pages of products to find what I wanted. I noticed that the reason search wasn't correctly finding matching products was because the product titles and descriptions were often missing information. Text search can only be as good as the textual information provided about a product, so I decided to train classifiers that could automatically generate search tags for a product given just its image. Allparel is live right now, and lists hundreds of thousands of products from retailers like Nordstroms, Macy's, Maurices, and more! Mens' products, as well as additional retailers and product tags, will also be coming soon. In the meantime, let me know your thoughts and feedback!

All fields on the sign-up form are mandatory, but feel free to enter the following dummy info for the fields below: Company Name: HackerNews; Role: Reviewer; No of users you’d like to train: 1; You will need to provide a valid email address so that I can send the login details.

Show HN: CoDiff, a new collaboration tool for developers
2 by jtsiskin | 0 comments on Hacker News.
A recent HackerNews comment - “For one programmer's hourly cost, you could run 4000 CPU cores continuously. Can there really be no practical way to apply thousands of cores to boosting the programmer's productivity?” http://bit.ly/2UAKEpX This is what we have come up with. The current productivity tools - Slack, Asana, Trello, Facebook Workplace, etc. - are great, but lack direct access to your code. Building a tool directly around the code makes it more powerful for software developers: CoDiff. https://codiff.com The foundation of CoDiff is a live-view of your teammates’ local Git repositories. This brings communication benefits that other productivity tools fundamentally cannot provide. Wherever you are working, you can essentially pull up a chair next to your coworker to see and discuss what they are working on. This live code view leads to a many other productivity benefits. Existing tools will let you know your teammates' task, but not the exact lines of code they are modifying. CoDiff on the other hand, can notify you in real-time when you conflict with one of your teammates. This greatly reduces the time spent in resolving merge conflicts, prevents duplicated work, and unobtrusively improves productivity. In the future, CoDiff will integrate with your favorite editors and other productivity tools for even greater benefits. A few examples: get conflict notifications in your IDE, set statuses according to Trello task, and share links to live code snippets on Slack. We currently have the first alpha build available on https://codiff.com . It’s completely free now and we would be extremely grateful for anyone to try it out. We never touch your git repository - no extra branches or commits - we are read only. We are looking for feedback at this point to help shape the future of the product–on the idea, the app, the workflow, or new directions. Anything you can share would be extremely helpful!

Launch HN: Atomic Alchemy (YC W19) – Manufacturing Nuclear Medicine
3 by atomicalchemy | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hello, HN. I’m Thomas Eiden, founder of Atomic Alchemy. Atomic Alchemy will manufacture nuclear medicine and the radioactive materials used to make it, using several compact (~15MW thermal) nuclear reactors. These are merely higher-powered versions of previously-licensed reactor designs that currently reside at universities. These reactor designs are passively safe and cannot melt down. With improvements in modeling and simulation that have occurred in the last few years, it is quicker and cheaper than ever to license and construct such a facility. But to be clear—we won’t be manufacturing reactors—we’ll be a chemical/drug manufacturer in the same way that Delta Airlines doesn’t manufacture planes or airports, but is a transportation company. Nuclear medicine is used in a wide variety of diagnostic imaging procedures and cancer treatments. The most common procedure is the radiocardiogram to diagnose cardiological issues, and brachytherapy for cancer treatment. Before starting Atomic Alchemy, I was the lead reactor core designer at the Advanced Test Reactor at Idaho National Laboratory. My main job each operating cycle was to arrange the reactor core in such a way to allow the United States Nuclear Navy to run successful material experiments for their next generation submarines and aircraft carriers. I’ve always been interested in production and efficiency, and the issues currently plaguing nuclear medicine production have been of great interest to me all the way back to when I operated a reactor in college. Unbeknownst to many, there is a critical shortage of nuclear medicine worldwide--right now. The main failure in the supply chain is the fact that the entire world’s feedstock for nuclear medicine primarily comes from six government-run reactors, most of which are over 45 years old and will be retired in the next 10 years. Additionally, these government-run reactors are scientific research reactors and are not set up to efficiently produce these materials. I have a design for a manufacturing facility that combines the entire supply chain, from irradiation, to chemical purification, to medicine production. This will allow Atomic Alchemy to fill the void as more aging reactors are shut down and allow those that remain to focus on their true purpose—science. Currently, the reactors, chemical purification, and pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities are all in separate facilities, sometimes oceans apart. By shrinking the entire supply chain into a single facility, manufacturing costs can be slashed by up to 50%, as regulatory, shipping, and myriad other costs associated with the radioactive material decaying in transit, is reduced. The market for radioactive feedstock alone is well over a one billion dollar market worldwide, and is constrained by the current supply. As the standard of living abroad continues to improve, developing markets will demand even more nuclear medicine. Atomic Alchemy will have the first privately-own nuclear reactors for nuclear medicine production in the world.
