New top story on Hacker News: Launch HN: Kalam Labs (YC S21) – Science games and live game streaming for kids

Launch HN: Kalam Labs (YC S21) – Science games and live game streaming for kids
10 by KLFaraaz | 4 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HN, we're Ahmad, Sashakt, and Harshit of Kalam Labs ( https://ift.tt/3j5hXgm ). Kalam Labs lets 6 to 14 year old kids learn their favourite science topics by watching live game streams and playing science games. It's like Twitch for science, except you also get to play :) Here's a sample video of our live stream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGMmUg0N0HE High curiosity in kids is directly linked to better academic performance and better outcomes when they grow up. However, school leads to a drop in curiosity as they discourage asking questions and encourage “focussing on the blackboard.” Parents don’t have a solution, as internet resources are unstructured and unreliable and encyclopedias are static and boring for the kids. We were batchmates at our undergraduate degrees and worked together at India's largest educational body, NCERT. There we interacted with hundreds of kids, and they were really curious about science. Their heads were filled with questions like: Why is the sky blue? What is inside a black hole? etc. But the conventional teaching mediums were just too boring for them. So we started searching what do they want? Turns out almost every kid was on Roblox and Minecraft. There were entire communities there hanging out, hosting live streams chatting with each other. Digging deeper, we saw that Roblox and Minecraft are being extensively used as educational media. Microsoft has launched Minecraft for Education and Roblox has launched Roblox Education, and this was prompting teachers to migrate from Zoom to these multiplayer games. So we got it: we will use live game streaming to help kids learn science. We launched our MVP and saw phenomenal results. Generating $1k USD revenue in just a couple of days, we saw a market potential of scaling it and hence decided to start a startup around it. At Kalam Labs we host daily live game streams on kids' favourite science topics like space, black holes, and dinosaurs. During the live stream, an instructor takes the kids around a virtual world where they learn new topics by playing game-based exercises. The cool parts are: unlike a typical live game-stream on Twitch/YT where only the video of instructor playing a game is shared, at Kalam Labs kids can play the game with the instructor. This helps the instructor to give short fun activities for kids to solve for explaining any topic. In addition, our Live Chat has a tag-feature, which is really loved by kids. Instead of typing the entire chat, kids can just tap on the different recommendations and convey their thoughts. This leads to very high-engagement with sometimes kids liking the tapping feature more than the game itself. We are seeing cool metrics pop out due to this: Our average watch time of a live stream is 40 minutes - 5x higher than Youtube. Further, just launched in Mid-June our product has amassed thousands of paying customers growing 50% week-over-week. Please share your thoughts and feedback!

What Is Happening to Australia?
5 by throwawayfear | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Covid is bad and all but why are there troops and police on the streets enforcing lockdowns? How did this happen? Why are they arresting people for Facebook posts against these lockdowns? I am not convinced that covid is this dangerous. The numbers do not justify this response. I am catching up on Australia and I read this article which was written last September. https://ift.tt/3jIo7As How could Australia, a democracy, get to the point where someone's facebook post is the cause for this kind of arrest? Or how about how an entire apartment complex was shut down and the people living there were told they were not allowed to exit for any reason? Here is the link. https://ift.tt/31UAmEv > "Unlike other Melburnians, residents of the nine towers cannot leave for any reason - they are subject to a police guard." And this article from earlier this month just reads so wrong. Who could actually fall for this kind of propaganda? https://ift.tt/3iuV6KK > "A citywide lockdown will last until at least 28 August. But unlike other Sydneysiders, these residents have been told to wear masks even outdoors. They cannot travel more than 5km (three miles) when leaving home for essential reasons, less than the 10km afforded to others. There are also stricter limits on who can work. > New South Wales (NSW) authorities say these measures are designed to stop infections in the worst-hit areas, with the virus spreading from workplaces to large households. > Police Minister David Elliott told local media a small minority of Sydney residents thought the rules "didn't apply to them"." Why are people trusting this? Who are we listening to so much and why? How do we know they're trustworthy and why do these trends seem to be pointing to a dystopia? Does anybody else get 20th century vibes from this situation? What is happening to Australia? Am I even allowed to ask someone these questions?

19 by mrhichem | 4 comments on Hacker News.
Hello HN crowd. I worked on this project on weekends and evenings. I'm excited I made it into a presentable MVP, and it is so satisfying. I would like to get some honest feedback from this great community. I made https://ift.tt/3sPW7AF, to scratch a personal itch. I myself trade options as a hobby, and I didn't find a screener that satisfies my need to be able to explore raw options data freely and without preset constraints. So I made this app that allows playing with options market data and extract interesting opportunities. The techs used: - Laravel + Jquery + Mysql - Tradier API for market data - DigitalOcean for hosting - OVH for domain name It costs me 5$/month to run the website. I'll be glade to continue if it proves to be a viable product in the long run and maybe I will take it to the next level and try monetize it. Note: the app is not suitable for phone screens yet, although this is a planned feature.

I'm planing on taking some serious time off to work on my side projects. I'm open to any country in the world, I want to just work on my games. So with that in mind I'll need good internet access. From what I can see, this is very doable in Eastern Europe. Eventually, I do plan on returning to the US, but I want to spend at least 6 months overseas.

New top story on Hacker News: I won't be posting any more preimages against neuralhash for now

I won't be posting any more preimages against neuralhash for now
94 by nullc | 0 comments on Hacker News.
I've created and posted on github a number of visually high quality preimages against Apple's 'neuralhash' [1][2] in recent days. I won't be posting any more preimages for the moment. I've come to learn that Apple has begun responding to this issue by telling journalists that they will deploy a different version of the hash function[3]. Given Apple's consistent dishonest[4] conduct on the subject I'm concerned that they'll simply add the examples here to their training set to make sure they fix those, without resolving the fundamental weaknesses of the approach, or that they'll use improvements in the hashing function to obscure the gross recklessness of their whole proposal. I don't want to be complicit in improving a system with such a potential for human rights abuses. I'd like to encourage people to read some of my posts on the Apple proposal to scan user's data which were made prior to the hash function being available. I'm doubtful they'll meaningfully fix the hash function-- this entire approach is flawed-- but even if they do, it hardly improves the ethics of the system at all. In my view the gross vulnerability of the hash function is mostly relevant because it speaks to a pattern of incompetence and a failure to adequately consider attacks and their consequences. - https://ift.tt/3D66hSq Your device scanning and reporting you violates its ethical duty as your trusted agent. - https://ift.tt/381zeR8 Apple's human review exists for the express purpose of quashing your fourth amendment right against warrantless search. - https://ift.tt/3giR8mX Apple is not being coerced to perform these searches and if they were that would make their actions less ethical, not more. - https://ift.tt/3zavPeR Apple uses complex crypto to protect themselves from accountability. - https://ift.tt/3B15noB A simplified explanation of a private set intersection. - https://ift.tt/2WcA0Zd Perceptual hashes at best slightly improve resistance to false negatives at the expense of destroying any kind of cryptographic protection against false positives (as this thread has shown!). Smart perverts can evade any perceptual hash, dumb ones won't alter the images. - https://ift.tt/383uVow Apple's system and ones like it likely create an incentive to abuse more children And these posts written after: - https://ift.tt/3zeeYbi A second "secret" hash function cannot be secret from the state actors that produce the database for Apple. - https://ift.tt/3j7YcoE fuzzy hashes with resistance against false positives tracable to sha256 are possible, but require you to value privacy over avoiding false negatives. [1] https://ift.tt/3mohBn8 [2] https://ift.tt/3y6qDHM [3] "Apple however told Motherboard in an email that that version analyzed by users on GitHub is a generic version, and not the one final version that will be used for iCloud Photos CSAM detection." https://ift.tt/3k4yDnF [4] https://ift.tt/2XQadqB

Ask HN: Do You Use a Debugger?
13 by alfiedotwtf | 31 comments on Hacker News.
It's been years since I've used a debugger (Turbo Debug), never bothered to learn how to use a debugger for non-assembly code, and tend to just sprinkle `print` everywhere until I can narrow down the problem. I'm a Vim person, and am envious of IDE users with integrated breakpoints, stepping, and variable inspection with just a mouse, but only today found out about Vim's `termdebug` :headdesk: So I'm wondering... what does the HN crowd use to investigate code problems: - sprinkling print - IDE with integrated debugger - termdebug (i.e editor with gdb in another pane) - debugger by hand on the command line - other (please comment)

It is well known how important academic seminars are for networking, promoting your research, and keeping up with latest developments. But the scale is under-appreciated: by our estimates more than 1 million academic seminars were happening every year. And then Covid came along... As a result many seminar series are now online and recorded using solutions that cobble together tools like Zoom, Google Sites and Sheets. This all more or less works but is painful and time consuming to operate. Our co-founders, researchers at Imperial College London and Texas A&M, experienced this firsthand. With their input we set out to build a tool to take the pain out of organising a seminar series. The idea is that in just a few minutes you can set up a professional looking seminar series and begin inviting researchers. We take care of the tedious process of setting up an online presence and working with speakers to find a time slot that works for them, collect their bio, abstract, promotion and more. We’ve been operating in beta for several months now. You can see some of the seminar series that are up and running on our homepage. These range from your standard departmental series (ABI Tuesday Seminars: https://ift.tt/3mi7RL0 ), to a series about a specific tool for scientific simulations (PyFR: https://ift.tt/3zbj2ZS ) through to a journal that brings in authors to talk about influential papers (J. Comp Phys.: https://ift.tt/2UDmk98 ). Note that you can click on the archive tab of each series to watch recordings of previous seminars. As you can see, these are not just standard departmental seminars; the shift to online has removed geographics barriers, enabling different types of seminar series to develop. What they all have in common is that they are helping communities to form around different kinds of research topics, and they all give you information and nuance you wouldn’t find by reading the related publications alone. On the attendee side, we’ve done some nifty work to integrate with Zoom so the live experience is better (instead of a name in a Zoom meeting you can see the profile of people in the room and participate in a live Q&A: https://ift.tt/3ml5G9t ). In the longer term we think Cassyni can help to make seminars and their recordings a searchable (e.g., check out the slides we’ve automatically extracted from the video and search for “flux” here: https://ift.tt/3D5RkA3 ) and citable (as you can see from the previous link public seminars on Cassyni get a DOI and are indexed in CrossRef) part of the sphere of human knowledge -- a complement to the published literature. We thought we’d share what we’ve built with HN in the hope of getting some feedback about what we can improve. If you are a researcher please do take a look and let us know what you think. And if you’re interested in setting up a seminar series drop us a line (help@cassyni.com) to let us know where you came from and we’ll organise an HN discount for you.

Ask HN: Is there any parents and founders here?
24 by lamida | 27 comments on Hacker News.
Founding a startup is often associated with grinding, long hours and low pay (for a possible high compensation in the exit). I want to start a startup but I feel that I am bit too late because now I am 35 years old software engineer and has a family with 1 toddler and another child is coming in couple of weeks. Is it possible to build a good startup part time (while still working in another company for full time)? Is there any founders out there which still can start and grow their business successfully while raising up children? Should I wait once having enough life saving and once my children a bit older so that I will be more ready for grinding? This is the only link related to this topic in HN[1].
