Any RF engineers out there? Curious for your feedback
pranade··on Thank HN: My bootstrapped startup got acquired today
Congrats Paras – amazing story!
pranade··on Ask HN: Working with CPG Retail Data
Great question. The CPG data landscape is a fragmented mess. We're actually tackling this at arena (https://arena-ai.com) to build out AI foundation models for the industry. We have some tips and potentially tools that might be useful to you. Would be great to get your input / hear your pain points if you're up for it

This kid is awesome
pranade··on Physical Warp Drives
The subluminal application is particularly interesting, because it seems almost feasible. Is there a practical path to meeting these mass/energy requirements though?
pranade··on Show HN: I made an alternative platform for professional profiles
Love the design -- pretty cool work!
pranade··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (October 2020)
Arena | Lead Machine Learning Scientist + Deep Learning Scientist | Full-time | Remote / NYC — We founded Arena a little over a year ago, to bring advanced ML techniques out of the lab (lots of active learning, for instance), and apply them at scale, for large enterprises where we can measurably prove impact. We're profitable, with multiple large scale Fortune 500 customers in pilots & in production.

There are 8 of us on the team, almost entirely technical – a mix of Machine Learning Engineers and Scientists with deep academic background and experience. The team includes 3 former founders. Co-founder and CEO founded Kimono Labs (YC W14, acquired by Palantir).

Competitive compensation, with material equity ownership for the right fit. — Apply by sending us an email: careers@arena-ai.com | https://arena-ai.com

pranade··on Covid-19 Data Landscape – Sources going beyond just cases/deaths
Interesting, thanks for putting this together. Curious – have you found good sources of granular data for credit card spending and movement patterns, perhaps from traffic/ride-sharing/mobile (that's anonymous/protects user privacy ofc)?

pranade··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (April 2020)
Arena | Active learning AI for pricing | NYC | https://arena-ai.com/

Hiring 1 Machine Learning Scientist & 1 Front-end engineer. Founded by YC alum (Kimono W14). Team = 5 people. Founded 1 year ago. Profitable. Hyper-linear growth.

Email us at careers@arena-ai.com

Today we are focused on pricing. We built a simulator that models hyper-specific market conditions and competitive dynamics to allow human users and AI agents to predict what will happen if they change the price of a product.

Pricing is just the start. We plan to create simulated, virtual copies of many more real environments - with the ultimate purpose of training a broader set of reinforcement learning agents for different tasks.

pranade··on Damn Girl, You’ve Got a High AQ
Super interesting article. Curious, with the pharmaceutical developments we have already, what would be an upper bound for human AQ today? How might we measure it?

Awesome!
pranade··on Lily – Drone camera
Awesome stuff, guys!
pranade··on An open API for company SEC filings
Yes, in fact we built API in partnership with EDGAR-online. It uses EDGAR-Online data but makes it available in a manner that's easier to digest and consume.
pranade··on What's your chance of getting a U.S. work visa? Find out with BorderScore
Super helpful analysis, both from an employer perspective and for the employee -- we need more transparency on this

This is awesome!
pranade··on Hacking Burning Man tickets with APIs and text messages
Yes - totally agree!
pranade··on YC investment trends visualized
Yes, definitely can't draw a trend based on 2 data points, but the difference is still quite interesting. Also, with kimono you can extend and expand the analysis with new APIs to tease out more interesting trends.
pranade··on Building a predictive model for the World Cup
Good point - thanks for the feedback! Yes, it's been about 75% on the R16 games. It's also fully interactive - so you can change the weights to explore relationships with historical data that might be interesting.
pranade··on Building a predictive model for the World Cup
Thanks for catching - for now you'll have to view it in Chrome.
pranade··on Building a predictive model for the World Cup
Yes, that is with high certainty, but not 100%. We'll fix the messaging hear - thanks for flagging. Also, it's interactive so you can change the weights and see what happens
pranade··on An open API for the World Cup
Feel free to build apps on top of the API - we'd love to see you build something cool with it.
pranade··on Correlate Bitcoin prices with anything
Not sure I understand the point... ? The reason for correlating against price is in hope of finding a leading indicator to movement so that you can better understand the relationship between bitcoin price and some other metric. This would in theory help you ultimatly make better returns by better predicting when to buy or sell...
