Airdel - Your Collaborative Mission-Based Social Media App
Hey everyone! I am a 19 y/o founder taking a gap year to build Airdel - a social media platform startup.

I’ve noticed many of today's social media platforms aren't action-oriented nor optimized for real-time collaboration which is important for people who have personal goals, are working on impactful real-world missions and projects (Humanitarian events e.g California wildfire victims, Emergency healthcare deliveries, climbing Mt.everest, working on research/patents or even just building cool projects).

That’s why I’m building a social media platform that connects your needs with people who can help— whether it’s industry stakeholders, professionals, or individuals with a common solution to your problem.

Airdel contains a feed where you can post your mission progress, updates, and achievements, an online directory where you can search for needs and missions to collaborate and partner with others on, and a professional working platform with productivity tools to collaborate on missions until completion. The platform tracks the entire life of your mission/project from start to finish which is recorded on your personal profile. Collaborators can be anonymously reviewed, allowing others to judge trustworthiness for future collaborations.

People who have signed up are in the humanitarian, healthcare, tech, science, business, entertainment, sports and creatives sector needing specific urgent solutions, connections, and resources. These span from NGOs, Institutions, Individuals, Suppliers, Sellers, Organizations and government.

Let me know what you guys think! I will be answering every one of your questions. Shoot!

Notes from the Zone
What they ended up doing was getting a warrant AFTER the fact, then the smartest of the doctors waited to sign his chart until after that. Right after I was served the warrant I was released, that was the culpability they needed to save their asses.

The nursing board then used the warrants signed AFTER the nurses charts to shield nurses from my malpractice complaints. The board argued essentially nurses are performing a police search if told to execute a search, thus it's nonmedical search. However if you challenge the police, they argue it is medical care not a police search thus you can't challenge that angle either.
Quantisation is a pretty big difference: it turns the observables into completely different mathematical objects. Also the Hamiltonian itself only has the same form as in classical physics if at most quadratic in the canonical variables

> anything involving memory [..] needs safety checks that becomes multi-instruction

Not necessarily; on AMD64 you can do memory accesses in a single instruction relatively easily by using the CPU's paging machinery for safety checks plus some clever use of address space.

> branches could mostly be direct _unless_ the runtime has any kind of metering (it should) to stop eternal loops

Even with metering the branches would be direct, you'd just insert the metering code at the start of each basic block (so that's two extra instructions at the start of each basic block). Or did you mean something else?

If a woman is using professional shots? Or a male? Either way -

For an attractive person: not much impact, though I think there is still a bit of a handicap depending on the type of person they are trying to attract and how much confidence plays into a valued trait for the other person. The same goes for how much of it seems ego-driven vs genuine.

For the average person: I mean you're simply limiting your pool. And potentially attracting personalities that look to exploit emotionally vulnerable people (the type willing to drop a lot of money on a photoshoot in hopes of getting more dates). As opposed to attracting the people they want to be dating.
I'm not going to go into details as I don't want to create a throwaway account for HN, but I can attribute a lot of people's feelings in dating apps to a few things. I got an email from Bumble a few years ago that said I was in the top x percent of people swiped on.

If you try to brute force stats your way to dating apps, you will fail.... to some extent.

A lot of this comes down to looks that you can control, and looks that you cannot control. Some people are born better looking than others and when you spend less than a second filtering people, the first factor you use is looks. That said, not everyone is looking for the same qualities so ymmv, but better looking people find dating apps much easier.

Throwing money at apps works. I'm not going to go into details because my opinion is not based on anything other than my opinion, but I found that the more I spent on the apps, the more dates I would get.

Modern dating when compared to traditional dating offline is not even the same thing. Ghosting and talking romantically to multiple people is normal. You can't let yourself get emotionally attached to anyone until you actually know them or expect anything from them.

I've heard horror stories from both men and women from online dating, and I've only had great exeriences from it. Some people find me attractive, and at the time I was very active and fit, so I usually got past the swipe test. I'm honest with myself and ok with my flaws. I'm also comfortable in social situations which helps me talk to new people.

I think crunching the numbers in this style only looks at a binary 'reality' of dating apps and not what you can do to help yourself and other factors that can lead you to what you ultimately want from partnership, or relationships or physical comfort or whatever else lead you to online dating.
Ah yes, sorry! that's the internal forum for YC alumni. Sometimes people get confused about what's public and what's not.

Some soundcard drivers apply equalization by default or strongly suggest it via features like "gaming" or "cinema" modes. If your setup previously had anything like that, then changing can be quite noticable. One tends to develop a preference for what one is used to listening to.
EQing according to ones own preference can be very beneficial in audio experience. Most OSed have ways of doing it globally, potentially with this party software.

> very few humans like committing violence

How many people commit violence, and how many people are victims of violence, are two very different things. You could live in a society where only 1% of people commit violence, and yet the remaining 99% are living in fear, because each of them was repeatedly a victim of violence.

But if you have 1% of people ready to initiate violence, and let's say 3% of people willing to use violence in self-defense, suddenly life becomes much safer for you, even if you are among the remaining 96%. Not because the bad guys would hesitate to hurt you, but because they are likely get in trouble before they get to you.

People often confuse these two numbers. For example, they look at some statistics and think "20% of women report having been victims of domestic violence... oh, that means that 20% of men must be violent abusers", and they don't realize that the statistics also include some violent men who abused five or more partners each, so the actual number is probably much smaller than the 20%.
I love this. I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to steal it for when I am back in the saddle interviewing folks. We need much more of this and a lot less of the adversarial BS.
You're right that it's not entirely novel, but it is useful, at least for Claude users: there's quite a bit of research showing that training models to self-censor makes them dumber, and so putting the censorship into a separate model (and allowing Claude to use its full intelligence for the "safe" queries) is a fairly useful change assuming it works well enough to prevent further lobotomization of the chat model.

(Of course, open-source models are even more useful...)
> Invertebrates were adjusting their beliefs to observations (science) long before the first philosopher.

To underscore the bad science you are led to in terms of assumed truth, let alone hypothesis: there is very little evidence or justification or explanation that any of the processes used by the invertebrate here execute calculation that obeys the very specific axioms of probability and updates to a state in accordance with Bayes' theorem. Stimulus response is not Bayes' theorem. Updating a state from new inputs is not Bayes' theorem.

There are numerous outfits that you can go to online to order blank checks. And of the small number that I have used, all of them let me just type in my routing number and account number and other information that appears printed on the check.

Your use of Plaid would exclude me from your service for two reasons:

1: I bank at a small regional credit union that is almost impossible to get linked with Plaid.

2: Plaid hypothetically lets you do a lot more than just learn my account and routing number. I would not trust a new start up with that level of access.

Given that relatively few things require the MICR numbers to be printed with magnetized ink anymore, it’s not clear what fraud someone could commit with your service that they couldn’t commit just as easily commit in a dozen different ways and that we can’t really prevent without a systematic overhaul of the paper check system

> sex does not (in humans or other mammals)

Yes it does. It just has an extremely bimodal distribution.

Sure, when the genetics all goes to plan. But it isn't perfect. Sometimes it doesn't.

I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding about all of this but I can't quite figure out where it is. It's like you've only read a biology textbook and never really thought about it or something.

A man goes to prison and the first night while he's laying in bed contemplating his situation, he hears someone yell out, "44!" Followed by laughter from the other prisoners.

He thought that was pretty odd, then he heard someone else yell out, "72!" Followed by even more laughter.

"What's going on?" he asked his cellmate.

"Well, we've all heard every joke so many times, we've given them each a number to make it easier."

"Oh," he says, "can I try?"

"Sure, go ahead."

So, he yells out "102!" and the place is dead quiet save for a few groans. Confused, he looks at his cellmate who is just shaking his head.

"Hey, what happened?"

"Well, some people can tell a joke, some people can't."

And this would be _very_ good for Texas. Unlike Delaware, Texas charges the franchise tax as a percentage of taxable margin. This means Texas could impose almost 600M in tax on Meta if my napkin math is right. In Delaware the franchise tax would be capped at 250K IIRC. Given the amounts involved, I wonder what kind of concessions they're getting in return.

What’s your take on the role of government at the federal level?
In my mind, there are a number of instances online where people (read: men) are acting like entitled princes, and the one thing that gets them to back off is making their families aware of what's going on.

Considering that these six are almost certainly peak internet people, I can't say I entirely disagree with trying to make sure their families know what they're doing. And so those family members know who to blame if data is leaked, potentially like the bank account details stored in the treasury payments system.

> The workload of a relationship should be split evenly overall but if one places waaaay more importance on a particular aspect than the other it’s ok for that one to bear more of the load in that case.

A different take-- imagine the love your spouse would feel if-- even a single year out of your entire life-- you were enthusiastically engaged in a task she almost certainly already knows you have no interest in. A task, btw, she almost certainly sees as being somewhat of a burden-- no human ever finds it 100% fun to do tasks like writing a bunch of cards.

I mean, you've publicly declared how little you value that task. So it would be clear you're helping because you know that your spouse values that task, and because you know she would consequently value and enjoy doing it even more with the person she loves.

Either that, or you end up pentesting your own position here, she ends up not wanting the help, and you prove yourself right. Everybody wins!

If anyone ends up trying this out and proving me right, please track me down and pay me $10,000 as a small token of gratitude for the priceless joy I will have added to your life and marriage.
