I jumped onto a point that sounded like a sad black mirror episode where the actors are trapped in a time loop forever, forced to come up with dumb jokes.

Elaine: "Why are we here"

Jerry: "to tell jokes"

Elaine: "But why are we here together"

Jerry: "Maybe fate put us here for a reason. To make the world a funnier place."

Elaine: "Alright, let's do it."

It's somewhere between Waiting for Godot and No Exit.

Do you know how large the derivatives market is?

I grew up as a dirt poor immigrant. The only reason I got into MIT, and am successful today, was because of the gifted programs that allowed me to stand out from the other mediocre students at the schools.

Were most of my gifted classmates wealthy? Yes. But being among them did more for my social mobility than anything else the school ever did.

I posted my similar story in a separate comment. It is truly a shame that we walk two worlds that people refuse to understand.

Love it! I spent three years selling into the government (DHS, TSA, and other agencies) at my last company, and just spent a year at Palantir as a senior PM after our acquisition. Government selling is unnecessarily difficult, so I'm looking forward to seeing you guys succeed!

Thanks - Unnecessarily complicated and contrary to what the government wants people to believe, it is not transparent.

I think this is overly cynical. It's complex and wants to be transparent, but to be honest it's hard.

Synapse Technology | Palo Alto, CA | Software Engineers & Deep Learning Engineers | Full-Time | syntechcorporation.com

We build technology to help automate x-ray security checkpoints everywhere they're deployed – airports, courthouses, office buildings, venues/stadiums, etc. Currently working with several international airports.

We're collecting quite large datasets that have not been explored previously, and are primarily looking for deep learning engineers to join our ranks which include research engineers from Stanford, MIT, and Waterloo. We're also looking for full-stack engineers, and currently more interested in those with front-end experience to take on client-facing projects.

Come join us to write code that will impact millions of travelers! Send me a note at bruno@syntechcorporation.com

It’s a reference to a diagram/figure in the patent

Unfortunate that they didn't have enough numbered things to use 641A...

Any chance you guys would open it up to YC alums with a new company? :)

Synapse Technology Corporation | border security | San Francisco | ML & Computer Vision Intern, part-time, full-time w/ equity (early hire)

Synapse is bringing computer vision and deep learning to the defense sector. The first product we're developing is automated threat recognition software for the TSA for the detection and classification of threats/prohibited items (guns, knives, hammers, water bottles) in baggage. In a short time we've built relationships with TSA, DH, and most of the large x-ray and CT manufacturers.

Looking for someone with any experience in: developing classification algorithms and architectures on visual data, processing 3D data, deep learning, using C++ libraries (to work with vendor data), Windows (for eventual integration with hardware)

Shoot me a note if you're at all interested in what we do! Would love to chat. bruno@syntechcorporation.com

Used Orama for a while internally at Kensho, and it's pretty great at easily spinning up interactive charts. Takes a small bit of getting used to, but it is a lot nicer than writing raw D3.
