Could you try to sell it to insurance companies? They might find value in providing it for free to clinicians because they might save money with better outcomes / preventing follow up visits.
We help teachers engage every student every day. We are growing fast and are looking for experienced people to help us scale and build our product. The stack is primarily JS based and most of our systems run on GCP (k8s).

We build software to help teachers engage every student, every day. We have > 1M MAU and are growing fast.
We need people who can write code and help us scale. We are looking to hire software developers (full stack and comfortable with javascript) and dev/ops (GCP, k8s, docker, some app engine apps).
Google "loop blinn". There are a few papers by those guys on the topic of rendering smooth anti aliased cubic bezier paths, which is really what you want.
You can read font data directly from ttf e.g. And render text nicely with few polygons and shaders taking care of very nice accurate edge rendering.
I wrote a half finished c implementation a couple of years ago that might be useful as a reference if you want to look into this more : https://github.com/hansent/lbfont
It's mainly based on the paper/article inter book GPU gems 3.
Accelerated 2D Vector graphics are hard, when I was working on this nvidia was announcing the nv_path_rendering extension; don't know how widely this is supported these days. But I doubt it's available in webgl.
wow, very awesome link. As someone who grew up in Germany, speaking Danish at home, then moved to the US when I turned 19 to go to college, and is now getting to watch my 2 pre-schoolers learn absolute insane amounts of things in such short timespans this definitely resonated!
In a lot of ways, startups are like parenting I guess. Certainly parenting is another example of an activity that depends absolutely on physical presence :P
I have no doubt its biological, but biological processes are inherent to any human activity and are ultimately based on physics as well. Consider even just the absurd number of extremely complex biological processes involved in typing a reply as we essentially communicate telepathically thousands of miles apart right now.
I'm daydreaming about having a captivating discussion with you and Alan Kay in which I manage to convince both of you to help me replace current technology with something that would change this and the world with it.
Any advice on how to make that happen?
I'm leaning towards "stop daydreaming and get to work building it" being the best advice toward that end myself...but then there is all the other things I need to get done as well.
Do you think that YC could ever invest or advise startups / founders that can't move to silicon valley for 3 months for one reason or another?
Is there something inherent in the in-person experience that cannot be overcome by technology (in general too i suppose, rather than just the type of work ycombinator does)?
Personally i believe we're not quite there yet. I have some hope, that within our life time communication and collaboration tools can become both sophisticated and intuitive enough to make physical presence for most type of work completely irrelevant)
while javascript is not my most favorite language, I think the opportunity to keep pretty much your whole stack in one language is worth alot. node / io.js let you do this; at the end of the day you can't "really" get around JS on the browser anyway.
im still hoping its a very genius marketing campaign...but either way, setting the movie free (not as in beer) would send a powerfull message. cant think of a better xmas gift to humanity right now...
how much money have they spent on this movie? If people pitch in world wide...how much money does HN think it would take for Sony to "sell" this movie to the public.
I find the argument about fostering more investment in smaller companies compelling. There is a distributed systems aspect to it, which might enable higher overall returns because of increased network effect (e.g. a business not only benefits from a direct investment, but also from investment in other business in the same ecosystem)? Is there something here that bigger funds are missing, or is there data/evidence against it? Maybe it just becomes to complicated expensive to manage a ton of small investments vs a few large ones in
a centralized manner? Maybe I'm missing something?
