Show HN: An AI-powered swingers dating app
Hi HN community,

I’m excited to share Venus (TakeMeToVenus.com), a project we’ve been working on to foster more meaningful connections within ethical non-monogamy.

Why we're building Venus?

Non-monogamy is a rich tapestry woven through human history. To put it simply, humans love sex.

From the polyamorous practices of ancient indigenous societies to the consensual multi-partner relationships in historical religious sects, loving more than one has always been part of our story.

The free love movement of the 1960s reignited this flame, challenging societal norms and celebrating love in all its forms.

Fast forward to today, and digital platforms have thrust non-monogamy into the spotlight, making it more visible and accepted than ever before.

Yet amid this surge of easy access to others, we’ve lost sight of something essential: meaning.

When you’re on Venus, it’s not about more connections, it’s about better connections (and better sex).

1. It's an evening social network

Venus operates within a unique framework: it is open only from 7 PM to 11 PM every night.

By limiting access to these hours, Venus encourages users to engage more intentionally.
Research suggests that time constraints lead to more meaningful engagement. In the complex world of non-monogamous relationships, this focused timeframe helps you prioritize and invest in the connections that matter most.

When the clock strikes 7 PM, Venus unveils The Lounge — an open space where all users can connect freely. Share photos, texts, and links with the community in a vibrant, communal atmosphere.

2. It's AI for meaningful conversations

At the heart of successful non-monogamous relationships lies trust and understanding — not just between primary partners but among all connections. Venus leverages cutting-edge AI to enhance these crucial elements.

Our AI assistant provides smart profile summaries, offering a sneak peek into the values and fantasies of couples or singles who catch your eye.

Venus will even help you choose the best profile photo, ensuring you and your partner give the best first impressions.

When you’re ready to send a message, Venus AI offers personalized conversation starters based on user profiles.

Venus is world where everyone looks their best, shared desires are openly shared, and conversations are both intellectually stimulating and irresistibly sexy.

3. How to join Venus

Quality connections thrive in a quality community. Venus operates on an invite-only basis, with each new user receiving three invites.

To get an invite code, ask around. Someone you know may already be on Venus. You’ll likely find Venus users on Instagram, Reddit, and at lifestyle events.

If you can’t get access to an invite code, you may join our waitlist for future updates here: TakeMeToVenus.com

Easier to use well is not the same as easier to learn well.

In a sense it's easier to use if you follow the happy path, and have a good resource of what's on that happy path.

It's harder to use if working with legacy software, or don't have a good guide to stay on the happy path.

There are also more concepts overall to learn from box model and stacking context to flow layout, flex, grid, compositing, and isolation than there were 15 years ago. Some of these can replace previous concepts like float and table based layouts, but overall I'd say the barrier to expertise is higher.

I'm not sure it was like that. Back then they had scams. Postal scams, work-at-home scams, beauty product scams, etc.

One possible different might be the internet. Allowing scammers access to so many people makes it easier to fish. There was probably an increase in scamming after the mainstream use of the telephone.

I tried to make it work for me working with Rails and could never achieve anything close to the productivity I get with RubyMine. I understand these two products are in completely different leagues, but I thought it might be interesting to try the native alternative... It just was never really viable for me to work with... even for simple quick editing, the load time is to much compared to any slimer editor... I was happy to contribute with a licence for a native product, since I believe in that, so no loss really...
> Why is that? What changed?

There is more opportunity for scams.

You didn't have ~20% of the population being old and feeble and rich until relatively recently.

In 2000, <10% of the population was seniors. It's been going up rapidly since then, and the growth rate won't slow until around 2030.

After 2030, it'll take another 30 years for the rate to increase ~7%. It only took about the last 10 years for it to go up ~10%.

Not to mention, in 2000, seniors didn't have the type of housing equity they have now (in REAL terms).

> When discussing investment in terms of money, and especially government spending, the connotation is typically positive economic returns

So, the only reason why a city should build a park or a library should solely based on positive economic returns. We should price out how much actual dollar value return the library directly gives to the town this quarter or the playground on the park. How much did adding that swing set really increase property values? I guess we shouldn't have done it. Otherwise, it is purely just wasteful spending.

I would leave you with the following thought. Not everything needs to have an easily measurable economic/financial benefit to be a good thing. Having such a myopic view isn't a positive thing in my opinion. I agree there's still such a thing as waste even in (especially in?) the space programs of the last few decades, but acting like funding space programs in general is a waste because it didn't generate positive economic returns in an easily measurable fashion to be quite a shortsighted viewpoint.

And as mentioned, it's not like the money evaporated. It moved. That money spent is in the communities. It's in the homes there. Its built businesses. Its grown entire cities. People went to college because of that spending. People planted crops because of that spending. That spending kept the velocity of money up instead of having it stagnate under someone's mattress.

not sure, gettung stuff taken down is really hard and often agencies and desks tasked with this are very overloaded so you might find yourself at the right place but in a long queue. sites like this can help identify clones which i hope more services will utilize to fight their evil twins: https://didsomeoneclone.me/ (made by friend). for your own protection, theres different types of security software and hardware that can be used to try and reduce risk, though those are often also not flawless.

some services will check for example age of certificates etc. to try and determine legitimacy of a site which can be fairly effective.

i cant recommend a certain tool tho as most ive used are propriatary and too expensive for individuals. at home i try not to visit any link :').. open it at work :D where theres enterprise level url filters
Maybe there should be more emphasis on what IS accomplished during the building and engineering of those missions regardless of the final mission outcome. I think the PR spin needs to be in a direction that highlights the achievements along the way more.
Nonsense. Now that Quest Pro has exited the market, everyone in the high-end consumer VR segment will come clamoring for a chance to buy Apple's headset.

Because everyone knows; spending thousands of dollars on a VR headset with no content is a purchase nobody regrets, whether they buy Meta or Apple's hardware.
Bitcoin's Protection Under the First Amendment
A problem with rooftop solar is that it’s largely unmanaged; it generates electricity without regard to demand. But on an electrical grid, supply and demand need to be balanced all the time. If there’s too much of a mismatch then it could result in power outages (to prevent equipment from being damaged).

Having unmanaged power generation and usage is okay as long as large generators (and storage) are watching real-time prices and respond appropriately. This means that rooftop solar depends on utility-scale generation to offset it.

Maybe that could be changed, but we aren’t anywhere near ready, and nobody is planning on it.

Is there another way? A mini-grid has the ability to “island,” which allows it to run when the grid is down. It seems promising in countries with frequent power outages.

Also, homes with battery power (and optionally solar) can go off-grid for a while, which is attractive in rural areas.

You still have to leave the anchors when jumping position to position. And hitting the thumbs right where you need em is hard too.

Good luck to your daughter!
I hope HTC can keep the torch burning. They're a small player against some real giants. Their newest headset has two USB-C ports, even though it already has eye tracking built in (unlike Quest). Making it more open ended is good for the ecosystem, users and could reduce obsolescence.

A tiny new open-source AI model performs as well as powerful big ones
Totally: I couldn't stop thinking about actually generalizing this to a workspace/desktop so I could apply similar principles with multi-windowed Emacs — a window manager that also connects windows ;)

Looks really intriguing, but Emacs is really hard to leave behind.

But I do believe this pattern applies to more things than just IDEs, and might even replace multi-workspace setup. Keep at it and hopefully you are successful and this pattern keeps evolving!

Life sciences, social sciences, eco-sciences, humanities. Engineering is mostly OK or at least not mostly false.

When you get into the humanities a lot of papers "aren't even wrong", as in, the authors don't hold themselves to any standards of logic or rigor to begin with, or aren't even making any kind of identifiable claim about the world, and don't consider rebuttals based on such criticisms to be valid.

A lot of people overlook ecology/climatology because millenarians have made it into such a live wire, but those fields generally have worse problems than medicine. For instance, in medicine going back and retroactively changing patient records for your clinical trial is taboo. It happens remarkably often, but, everyone accepts that it's not supposed to. In climatology they retroactively change climate datasets all the time and if anyone calls them out on it they just attack the critics. They don't even accept the principle that their models should predict data as measured using a constant methodology. It's meaningless in such a field to say "the hypothesis is consistent with the data" because the historical data you analyzed might be replaced with a new version that's fundamentally different.
Tailwind doesn't prevent you from "learning css". It may prevent you from learning some legacy things which are best avoided these days, like float though.

You can't use tailwind without either understanding CSS or learning it as you use it. I have to wonder if people who claim otherwise haven't used tailwind.
Yeah, I mean you're kind of eating shit either way. You either have to deal with cloud friction or Linux friction, and at least cloud friction is mostly stuff like IAM where the friction is mostly about nudging you toward a better security posture. In Linux the friction is boring stuff like "every component has a different configuration file format and different expectations about where those configuration files are on disk and where it keeps its application data and how it names its command line arguments" and so on.

This isn't bad for a small team, but it becomes increasingly painful as you scale, but it's really hard to make it work smoothly for bigger teams (the sysadmin team becomes a bottleneck for everyone's deployment, deployments slow to a crawl so everyone builds these enormous, buggy releases, testing becomes a once-a-month thing instead of a continuous thing, etc). And the teams that do it well basically end up reinventing a big chunk of the cloud without any of the benefits of a standard, well-documented, widely-understood cloud platform anyway.
Why have you decided that the other is the winner?

When Boeing or Airbus announce a new airplane, they come up with all sorts of luxurious concepts that would make air travel less miserable if not enjoyable. We all know damn well that the airlines aren't going to do any of that except maybe for first class. Housing is the same. Cheap out on everything, pack 'em in, profit. Then when there's a big fire or it all falls down, close up and start again under a different name.
