I agree with you, my friends and I were discussing this a few days ago on how the valley has become synonymous with being the area where everyone knows what's best for the entire country, probably the entire world.

It's gotten so bad that some of us are refusing to start startups in the valley, and moving to other areas where free speech is more accepted, and any idea is tolerated, unlike the bay area, myself included.

Lol, I'm from Mississauga too - We were your competitors; www.blip.delivery and worked with lots of construction companies in Toronto who wanted to do same-day deliveries.

I ended up selling the company to a customer, but it's really cool to see another company in the space, who's also in the same city as we were!

The reinforcement learning ones are SO common. When I worked on autonomous tech a while ago, I remember constantly trying to tweak my reward function because of the agent learning that avoiding obstacles was a high enough reward in itself, so it just learned to go in circles constantly

Actively show off/try to impress everyone I meet

This is so cool. How did you build this? How did you train your net? Does it even use a net? I'd love to know about how this works!

Perhaps not, but the part of our brain responsible for optimizing contentment would ideally prefer deleting traumatic memories

It was merely an example lol

I was just giving you an example of memories that would not be evolutionary beneficial to retain. Obviously that ex gf/suicide was an anecdote to our imperfect memory retention, and has nothing to do with evolution

That's interesting.. so you mean that human memory is not bugged and perfect from an evolutionary perspective?

Isn't it also arguable that retention of trauma is inherently bad from an evolutionary perspective? Let's say someone retains a traumatic event, gets depressed, ends up committing suicide. In that case, if the brain optimized for survival, it would be beneficial to erase the memory.

I'd argue that the probability of death occurring as a result of severe trauma is greater than the probability of death occurring as a result of forgetting an experience

Depends on the traumatic memory, hence the idea that we've probably optimized for remembering everything rather than the events that have evolutionary advantage.

I.e Why should I remember a bad ex girlfriend if there was nothing to learn from it?

Nature of the industry I'd say.. Cost for eg is a big factor; Hardware inherently requires money to build (materials etc), while software is just an investment of time.

I suppose it's a direct mapping of human nature, where we inherently prioritize return on an investment of money rather than time, which makes sense too

Stripe is really nice if you have a discount code for the first xxx$. I found it really expensive without a promo code @2.9% or something around that depending on volume

Working on AI right now;

Gonna do a startup based around arguably the worst problem to have when trying to build a neural network from scratch;

Choosing the architecture of the net itself. It's super cumbersome, and you can often go days/weeks with crappy models by choosing poor architectures/objective functions.

Currently working on AI to build AI architecture recursively.

I just bypass the paywall with the free monthly limit by masking IP.. It should become the norm to keep yourself on a VPN at all times in the world we live in today

Currently, yes. But we plan to scale to the US soon too!

Thank you!

Im the founder, just looking to get some feedback from people on my startup. We're also building an iPad app for brick and mortar stores without e-commerece, to power with deliveries.

If you have any feedback for me, especially functionality related, or just that the fonts I've used on my website are crappy, let me know :)

Ok, I see. I do have a demo setup on my website though. Should I still pursue the demo video route? Perhaps YouTube advertising?
