Ask HN: I recently lost everything and I need advice to rebuild my careerhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15329980I recently lost everything, I closed my business and my shares on another, after working on them for 10 years. Now I see myself with 35 years and needing to start from almost zero. I do not have the strength, time or money to create a new business, so I am heading to the IT workforce. I can support myself for a few months that I am going to use to renew my knowledge in IT, since everything I studied years ago is not relevant anymore nor I can remember (jsp, ccna, etc)As I have been outside of IT for such a long time and my age is starting to be a problem, I need to rebuild myself asap.So, my ask HN.What should I start today to study to get a decent job in the next year? I’ve been thinking to get a helpdesk low tier job in a few months to at least have some salary and resume, but that’s not enough, I want to plan my future and I need to start studying now. I need to know where should I go and what technologies and fields can offer me the best outcomes for the future. My research says thSep 25, 2017 12:54 PM

Ask HN: SendGrid Transactional Templates, or no?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15329952Has anyone here used SendGrid's Transactional Templates feature before, and what are you thoughts on it? And in comparison to building your email templates in your application directly?It seems the Pro is that the template work can be offloaded to designers/marketers and developers only need to reference the right template in their code, they don't have to write the template code themselves. The Con is that the templates live in SendGrid, making it difficult to move to another email provider in the future if there was a reason to, as you'd have to redo the templates in the next provider, or reimplement it in your application.Thoughts?SendGrid Transactional Templates: https://sendgrid.com/docs/User_Guide/Transactional_Templates/index.htmlSep 25, 2017 12:48 PM

Show HN: Fantasymath.com – math based, matchup specific fantasy football advicehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15212437Been working on this all offseason and wanted to post here with the kickoff of the NFL season.www.fantasymath.comIn FF, the goal is to pick a lineup of players that outscore your opponent's lineup. In real life, these players are often the same team/playing each other, and so their performance is correlated (e.g. a QB throwing to a WR). The fantasymath.com model takes these correlations into account in order to give you a slight edge when setting your lineup (apart from that, the rankings are basically the "fantasy consensus" or wisdom of crowds, set to distributions).Do everything on this myself. I'm a modeling guy by trade, and had to learn all the back and frontend stuff myself. The frontend is React + Redux. Used the React framework Grommet, which I really like.The backend is in Flask and Google App engine. Other really helpful things were Auth0 and Stripe.Audience is hardcore Fantasy Footballer's who are mostly interested in whatever edge they can get, so charge $40. Have a decentSep 10, 2017 2:54 PM

Why is the gradient either +ve or -ve when we use sigmoid activation function?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15192760whenever i ask this question people tell me something like ""Gradient of W = X * gradient of Function Now, from the above equation, since all X values are positive, therefore gradient of all W's could either be all positive or negative, depending on the gradient of function."" i get it but i think they are missing a point. consider the multi-class setting - if there are 10 classes, and we use a softmax output. The NN makes a prediction C1, whereas the true class is C2. Now our gradient of the ouput layer(from the loss function) will be a vector which will have one positive term, and another negative term (for C1 and C2). When this vector is multiplied with positive gradients during backprop. Since error gradient has both positive and negative numbers, the gradients of W should also be a mix of positive and negative. NOT JUST THAT... also the gradient over the hidden vectors dhidden when backpropagated will be multiplied by weights which can have positive and negative signs. I am i righSep 7, 2017 3:31 PM

Launch HN: Life Bot (YC S17) – Voice app to help with daily activitieshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15091848Hey HN!We are Jess and Oscar, the founders of Life Bot, a voice app that helps you complete daily activities.It’s available on Amazon Alexa. To enable, say “Alexa, enable Life Bot” or click on:https://alexa.amazon.com/spa/index.html#skills/dp/B0749C8YD5...Alexa is useful for things like timers, music, and news, but so far, most people don’t bother with Alexa apps. Voice apps are hard to find, they tend to do just one thing, and each has a different name and set of phrasing you need to remember.Life Bot solves this by bringing the most-used features under one voice app. We’ve made the on-boarding process easy and have eliminated the need to visit the Alexa app. We also aren't tied to just an echo device, since users aren’t always at home.A popular feature we have is morning news - Life Bot gives your morning headlines through Alexa, but can send the full article to your phone to read up on your commute. Or you can set up a reminder to pick up milk through Alexa, and have it sent to you Aug 24, 2017 5:01 PM

Should I focus on a specific category of a niche or broaden out?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15069130Basically, I wan't to provide a service similar to "Milotree". They allow you to add a slide-out to your website displaying your social media. In all honestly I feel like I could execute their idea much better. What has me torn is they focus on mainly saying they help social media which I like, but I also want to provide a lot to my customer, sites like "GetSiteControl" offer kind of the same thing as Milotree only for on 'site widegets'. Should I stick to a simple route and advertise like "Milotree" where I say we are specifically made for advertising social media on your site from just a simple slideout, or should I add more features like side slideouts, banners, and opt-ins. I just feel like all those options will confuse my interested niche.Aug 22, 2017 1:42 AM
