Hi HN, Who's had any success building building a profitable content business as a solo founder or side project?

Ask HN: What is it like to work at public Snapchat?
4 by antwerpen | 1 comments on Hacker News.
A recruiter from Snap reached out to me today and I thought to myself "they must be desperate if they're interested in me". I applied in the past but was ignored, even though I had experience working on a heavily used component of their cloud infrastructure. It could be that I have an extra year of experience under my belt, but I don't think that's the primary reason here. My guess is that Snapchat is no longer the hottest place to work at. Could you share your experience with pre and post IPO Snap?

Ask HN: Autonomous Cars Simulation
11 by coderunner | 5 comments on Hacker News.
There's a couple companies in the business of using a 3d simulation for training autonomous cars like Waymo, Cruise, Nvidia, and Applied Intuition. I don't quite understand their product though. 1. Are the trained object detectors in the simulation applied to real world data also or is only the part that makes decisions transferred to the real vehicle (e.g. it's safe to turn left here) while detectors trained on real world images of cars, people, etc. used? 2. Tangentially, I thought that in general detectors trained on computer generated images was not very applicable to real world images. eg training on a bunch of images of 3d modeled humans won't work well with testing on pictures of real humans. Is this not true?
