Show HN: Algorithmic Art Assembly, San Francisco March 22-23rd 2019 http://bit.ly/2sHN1aU

Show HN: Algorithmic Art Assembly, San Francisco March 22-23rd 2019 Very much inspired by the Algorave scene, and after taking part in a live coding conference in the UK last year, I'm hosting a two day conference and music festival in San Francisco called 'Algorithmic Art Assembly' https://aaassembly.org/ Algorithmic Art Assembly is a brand new two day conference and music festival, showcasing a diverse range of artists who are using algorithmic tools and processes in their works. From live coding visuals and music at algoraves, to virtual reality, gaming, augmented tooling, generative music composition, or knot tying, this event celebrates artists abusing algorithms for the aesthetics. Daytime talks will present speakers introducing and demonstrating their art, in an informal and relaxed setting, (very much inspired by Dorkbot). Speakers: Windy Chien, Jon Leidecker, Elizabeth Wilson, Adam Roberts (Google Magenta), Monica Dinculescu (Google Magenta), Olivia Jack, Marc Weidenbaum, Jules Litman-Cleper, M Eiffler, Adam Florin, Yotam Mann & Sarah Rothberg, and a Mark Fell Q&A Each day will feature one workshop in an intimate setting, creating an opportunity for you to learn how to create live coded music using two of the main platforms, SuperCollider (taught by Algobabez) and TidalCycles (taught by Kindohm). Workshops are limited in space, with reservation required. Evening performances will be heavily based upon the algorave format, in which the dancefloor is accompanied by a look behind the veil, with several artists projecting a livestream of their code on screen. Performers will play energetic sets back to back, with minimal switch-over time. Performers: Mark Fell, W00dy, Renick Bell, Kindohm, Algobabez, Kit Clayton, TVO, Shatter Pattern, William Fields, Spednar, Sebastian Camens, Digital Selves, Spatial, Vou, Wobbly, Charlie Roberts hit me up with any questions, but hope to see of you there!

Launch HN: Simmer (YC W19) – Reviews for Delivery Dishes https://ift.tt/2Y4sD67

Launch HN: Simmer (YC W19) – Reviews for Delivery Dishes Hi HackerNews community! We’re Vaibhav and Richard, founders of Simmer ( https://usesimmer.com ). Simmer aggregates dishes from DoorDash, Caviar, GrubHub, and basically every other delivery platform out there, and tells users the best dishes across the board. We do this by providing dish-level reviews. Users find highly reviewed dishes on Simmer, choose the delivery platform of their liking, and we deep link them into their chosen delivery app. We essentially lead gen to delivery. We started working on Simmer because we loved trying new restaurants, but never knew what to order. Especially, when there’s a 5 page menu. We always asked ourselves, “Why aren’t there ratings for individual dishes?” We launched our app with this restaurant-centric use case (reviews for every dish at every restaurant), but when we rolled out delivery integrations, we realized that users resonated most with the delivery angle. They found it particularly ...
