SimpleAI - AI with python: new release is ready
http://simpleai.readthedocs.org/
A new release of SimpleAI is ready.

SimpleAI is a python implementation of many of the artificial intelligence algorithms described on the book "Artificial Intelligence, a Modern Approach". It focuses on providing an easy to use, well documented and tested library.

This new version includes:
* Important improvements to the graphical debugger, that allows you to run the search algorithms interactively with a real-time search graph on a web browser. The improvements include the ability to zoom and pan on the graph view, and to play and pause the algorithm in real time.
* Constraints propagation for the constraints satisfaction problems, which in most cases greatly improves the performance of the CSP search methods. The implemented algorithm for the propagation is AC3.
* N-ary to binary constraints converter, which allows you to take full advantage of the AC3 constraints propagation (AC3 only operates on binary constraints).
* Many other small bugfixes and improvements.

Project home: http://github.com/simpleai-team/simpleai
Docs: http://simpleai.readthedocs.org
SimpleAI will be presented in Pydata 2013 http://pydata.org/bos2013/abstracts/#56
Ask HN: Trying to find people who shorten urls a lot.
We are currently working on a new kind of multi-platform url shortener that a friend of mine described as "imagine it as bit.ly, but bit.ly done right". The problem with url shorteners today is that people who consume a shared link via email, social, sms or whatever medium may be clicking on it from a different platforms (mac / win / ios / android / ...) and so that single static link should ideally do something dynamically different based on the device and the status of it.

We're interested in getting a few more people to test out our product and give us some feedback. If you shorten a lot of urls and do a lot of social sharing of those shortened links then please pm (jesse@sparq.it) me and let me know. So far, our users love our new product and we are looking the next round of people to try it out and get some more feedback.

Show HN: Plan Harmony – Collaborative Trip Planning Tool
https://www.planharmony.com/?ref=hackernews
A few months ago I took the nerdiest approach to planning a trip to Italy. I built a web app to plan with friends and now it's in a beta release. All with the goal of making planning travel with friends easier.

You can create itineraries through an intuitive calendar interface. Saving all the important information about each destination/event in you trip you can access while planning and while on the trip.

Trips cost money, unfortunately, but you can track and maintain your trip budget. Track who's paid and who hasn't. Make settling the tab super easy.

One of the hardest parts of trip planning is figuring out what to do or where to stay. Not everyone is always up for the same thing. Use the vote/like button on events to help make group decisions about the trip.

And so much more to come!

Thanks for checking out Plan Harmony. I'm really excited to hear what you think!

Show HN: Wabi – Affordable wellness services with Latam pros
https://www.wabi.build/en
Thanks for checking out wabi!

wabi finds you a wellness professional based on your needs. Whether you need a trainer, a nutritionist, or a coach, we search for the best fit for you at least 30% cheaper than what you are used to finding.

We are 3 Colombians that have lived in the US and found it really hard to access wellness professionals, like a personal trainer or a psychologist, because their prices were very expensive for us. As founders and builders, we find it vital to take care of our mental and physical health to be at our max potential, so affordable access to these services is a must-have. We also found that some of our peers, mostly Latinos, hired these services from professionals based in Latam. Their services are high-quality and the prices are way lower than what we found while living abroad.

In our landing, you’ll find a couple of professionals we have personally worked with and highly recommend. If you want to connect with them, just text us. If you don’t find what you want, also just text us with what you are looking for and we’ll get back to you with other professionals.

Feel encouraged to give us your feedback, experiences, questions, etc. Every comment is very well received.

Social Engineering and the Cold Call 
http://seattle.toorcon.org/2011/conference.php?id=27
What could possibly be worse than making a cold call? Socially engineering someone through a phone line can have the same effect as talking to a chat-bot if you don’t know what you’re doing. You’ve got to be sly, intuitive, and able to turn on a dime. Mike Ridpath and Matias Brutti will take you through the ins and outs of getting away with the information you want. By taking a look at the psychology and sociology behind socially engineering in a cold call, they’ll let you in on the secrets of what ruses work with men versus women, play a few (sanitized) successful calls, and share techniques and tactics that have worked for them on over 100 engagements. You’ll never talk on the phone the same way again.

Mike Ridpath and Matias Brutti
Mike Ridpath is a Security Consultant with IOActive and possesses some unique talents—there are those that say Solomon, in his infinite wisdom, bestowed the knowledge of security on Mike. In all honestly, it was probably the years he spent in a think-tank, soaking up information from geniuses near and far. Luckily for us, some of it stuck and he currently works with some of IOActive's platinum-level clients on network and application penetration tests, PCI compliance, and social engineering engagements.

Matias Brutti is a Senior Security Consultant at IOActive, where he brings his hardcore Argentinian love of hacking and applies it with a smooth hand. A man of class, when he’s not using his intimidating mental prowess on the job, he likes to kick back with some Ghost in the Shell, a nice Malbec, and only the finest sushi. At IOActive, Matias performs penetration testing, identifies system vulnerabilities, and designs custom security solutions for clients in software development, telecommunications, financial services, and governmental agencies. Not really.

Ask HN: How can a developer become good at documentation

Are there any guidelines or a set of rules that I can follow. Also how can I get those nice graphics/flowcharts etc. into the documents, are there any good tools that anyone can recommend.

Ask HN: What is the fastest way to receive world cup goals?
TV? Radio? SMS? Some widget/Flash app? Twitter? iPhone push?

TV/Radio: is probably the best, but I do not want to watch/listen to all the matches.

SMS: delivery speed is dependent on the provider and might be unreliable (althrough it would be me favorite way to get goals, anyone got such service?)

Twitter: I've found a feed that seems speedy http://twitter.com/UniSoccer (at least it was the first to report Brazil 1-0 goal, according to my quick search). Does anyone has a better feed with only goals?

iPhone app:There seems to have plenty of these. Are the reliable and fast?

Could I beat TV/Radio speed by some internet app?
