HackerNoon Reporter: Please tell us briefly about your background. I’ve had first-hand insight into how broken the global food supply chain is having left school and trained as a chef. After that, I spent close to a decade in the food and beverage industry - working in the Uk, Australia, Spain, and on cruise ships. What's your startup called? And in a sentence or two, what does it do? AGR1 (Agricultural Growing Revolutionised, farm to plate in 1 day) is a state of the art hydroponic farming company, that specialises in low land, natural light hydroponics, growing produce that’s Nakd of chemicals/pesticides then delivering to kitchens within hours of harvest, in reusable containers that are the same size as that which kitchens are already using making our brand ‘Nakd Produce’ the most sustainable and freshest there is in the market. What is the origin story? After years of being in F&B, a short time in finance in Moscow then Hong Kong, my son Henry Xander Harrison was born in 2014. That night when holding him, I realised I had to change who I was, my priorities, and what I did. A month later I was shown hydroponics, after a couple of years working for companies that claimed to be about making a better world, I realised that there aren’t any who I believe are doing it right. What do you love about your team, and why are you the ones to solve this problem? the diversity of experience, knowledge, and the commitment to making AGR1 and Nakd a success. If you weren’t building your startup, what would you be doing? Why talk about hypotheticals? At the moment, how do you measure success? What are your core metrics? Growing the best produce, having happy customers. What’s most exciting about your traction to date? We’re the first people to do hydroponics in Johor. Our produce is served daily to the royal family. Our customers love our produce and boxing system. What technologies are you currently most excited about, and most worried about? And why? Most excited about the development of the hydroponic and start ag industry. Most worried would have to be drone dogs…. Because Drone dogs!! Along with robot-controlled farms(we need jobs for people! Not robots. What drew you to get published on HackerNoon? What do you like most about our platform? We need to get attention for what we’re doing. You guys have a cool setup. What advice would you give to the 21-year-old version of yourself? I wouldn’t, I’ve lived, made mistakes, now I have a son and a mission. What is something surprising you've learned this year that your contemporaries would benefit from knowing? Not as many people genuinely care about food security as they should, especially the people in positions of power to make an impact now before it’s too late. Vote for AGR1 for Johor Bahru. Startup of the Year

Welcome to HackerNoon’s Writing Prompts! Would you like to take a stab at answering some of these questions? The link for the template is HERE. Please tell us your name, what you currently do, and where you work: My name is Maria Carolina. I'm a data scientist with 4.5 years of experience, currently working at a tech company in Brazil. How did you get into Data Science? My journey to data science is unique, I guess. I began my career as an agronomist, completing advanced degrees including a master's and doctorate, and worked as both a postdoctoral researcher and university professor (did not like teaching undergrad very much though). When I first learned about data science through international websites and blogs, it was still an emerging field in Brazil, with very few local job opportunities. So that seemed pretty impossible to me. But somehow, despite living far from the country's major financial centers where most tech jobs were concentrated (and I could not move out of state for a job), I managed to break into the field. My agricultural background was the main reason, I joined a company focused on agribusiness. What does your day-to-day role involve? My role varies depending on current projects, but research is a constant and significant component. Some tasks require several days of research before any coding begins (which I really enjoy). What technology or programming languages do you frequently use to get your work done? I primarily use Python, which is standard across our team. Given our focus on agribusiness, I also work extensively with GIS software, particularly QGIS (a big fan of this tool), and SQL. What do you like the most about your job? The research-intensive nature of my work is what I enjoy most. It feels like an extension of my academic research background but with the added satisfaction of developing practical products. I have to stay current with the latest research, state-of-the-art developments in the field, statistical analysis, machine learning techniques, and efficient programming practices. What is something you think people do not know about data science or data scientists? I understand that there is a wide variety of data roles. Even though data scientist is just one of them, there are many different profiles that a data scientist can embody, depending on the company, client, and projects. I don't know if everyone realizes the diversity of possibilities that this role provides - and of course, how much it evolves and seems to change by the year. But I believe that any data scientist should be very interested in research and learning, and I say this in addition to knowing how to run models for example (which of course also requires a lot of study). While technical skills are crucial, a fundamental curiosity and passion for research and continuous learning are essential traits for any data scientist. What are some trends in data science that you’re particularly excited about? I'm particularly excited about AI's evolving role in data science (although at the same time, I feel the need (daily) to continue learning much more about what we already call "traditional"). While it began by streamlining basic tasks, I believe we're moving toward more sophisticated and complex applications of AI. If you weren't a Data Scientist, what would you be doing? I would probably be in a research position (if I managed to, of course), as I'm deeply passionate about the scientific process - forming hypotheses, developing methodologies, testing assumptions, and documenting findings. What are 3 quick ways for someone to get into Data Science and land a job within a year? For aspiring data scientists, my advice is to: Develop a genuine interest in continuous learning and problem-solving (NEVER ends….and maybe that's very good)
Focus on understanding underlying concepts and their connections (understanding the reasons behind the things!)
Balance your studies between statistics, programming, and business domains (no one knows all…) Welcome to HackerNoon’s Writing Prompts!

Would you like to take a stab at answering some of these questions? The link for the template is HERE . HackerNoon HERE Please tell us your name, what you currently do, and where you work: My name is Maria Carolina. I'm a data scientist with 4.5 years of experience, currently working at a tech company in Brazil. How did you get into Data Science? My journey to data science is unique, I guess. I began my career as an agronomist, completing advanced degrees including a master's and doctorate, and worked as both a postdoctoral researcher and university professor (did not like teaching undergrad very much though). When I first learned about data science through international websites and blogs, it was still an emerging field in Brazil, with very few local job opportunities. So that seemed pretty impossible to me. But somehow, despite living far from the country's major financial centers where most tech jobs were concentrated (and I could not move out of state for a job), I managed to break into the field. My agricultural background was the main reason, I joined a company focused on agribusiness. What does your day-to-day role involve? My role varies depending on current projects, but research is a constant and significant component. Some tasks require several days of research before any coding begins (which I really enjoy). What technology or programming languages do you frequently use to get your work done? I primarily use Python , which is standard across our team. Given our focus on agribusiness, I also work extensively with GIS software, particularly QGIS (a big fan of this tool), and SQL. Python What do you like the most about your job? The research-intensive nature of my work is what I enjoy most. It feels like an extension of my academic research background but with the added satisfaction of developing practical products. I have to stay current with the latest research, state-of-the-art developments in the field, statistical analysis, machine learning techniques, and efficient programming practices. What is something you think people do not know about data science or data scientists? I understand that there is a wide variety of data roles. Even though data scientist is just one of them, there are many different profiles that a data scientist can embody, depending on the company, client, and projects. I don't know if everyone realizes the diversity of possibilities that this role provides - and of course, how much it evolves and seems to change by the year.

🏆 USA & EU issued certificates for our devices
🏆 EIT Food Test Farm winner Finalist of 2024
🏆 China Overseas Talents Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition
🏆 Partnerships with key market players (Varda Field ID, AGRIVI, SAS Agro, Kalo, Basf (Xarvio), Bayer, Syngenta etc.) Lessons learned 1️⃣ This was quite a challenge in building AI tools that could accurately adapt to the vast complexities of agronomic data. Initial models developed were rather far from the precision that agronomists required, struggling with symptom and stage variability across different crops. However, we further invested in our AI capabilities, enhancing our models by adding extensive data sets and collaborations with agricultural experts. This achieved two things: it not only enhanced the precision of our AI but also made our tools an inseparable companion for any agronomist by providing them with second-to-none insights and recommendations. 2️⃣ Another challenge was to convince the highly practical and quite skeptical agronomists to adopt this high-tech tool called Cropler. So, we shifted strategy and focused our efforts on education and hands-on involvement, showing agronomists not only how but why our technology worked. 3️⃣ One of the most significant challenges of launching the international expansion of our solution was overcoming the many regulatory, environmental, and operational hurdles spanning across continents, which drastically changed from region to region. We learned flexibility and local partnerships. By aligning ourselves with local agronomic experts and adapting our technology to meet regional regulations and needs, the stage was set for global impact-development of preparations for a major rollout in Europe by 2025. 4️⃣ Last, but not least, was a technical and logistical challenge to scale our technology from pilot projects to widespread usage by agronomists. So, we invested in scalable architecture and robust systems, supporting high demand for real-time data processing and global access. Our platform is not a tool; it's a 24/7 digital agronomist turning that data into actionable and timely advice. What Startups of The Year means to us Entering into HackerNoon's Startups of the Year is not an opportunity for Cropler but rather a stage to revolutionize the agribusiness panorama. We come to introduce our pioneering AI agri-camera technology that's going to change the world and make agriculture more predictable and effective.

Elon Musk v OpenAI, Court Filing, retrieved on April 30, 2024, is part of HackerNoon’s Legal PDF Series. You can jump to any part of this filing here. This part is 26 of 29. COUNT XIV: TORTIOUS INTERFERENCE WITH CONTRACT (Against the OpenAI For-Profit Entities) 329. Plaintiff re-alleges and incorporates by reference paragraphs 1 through 328 inclusive, as though fully set forth herein. 330. The OpenAI For-Profit Entities knew Musk had a valid contract with Altman and OpenAI, Inc. and that the agreement required OpenAI, Inc.’s technology to be predominantly open source for the benefit of humankind, not for commercial gain. Aside from the name “OpenAI”—an appellation ironically shared by almost all the OpenAI For-Profit Entities—these Defendants all had knowledge of the charitable purpose for which Musk co-founded the non-profit, as, on information and belief, Altman and Brockman have at all relevant times been their officers, agents, employees, and/or owners whose knowledge and intent is imputed to them. 331. On information and belief, the OpenAI For-Profit Entities intended to disrupt Altman and OpenAI, Inc.’s performance of their contract with Musk and/or knew that such disruption of their performance was certain or substantially certain to occur as a result of their conduct. 332. The OpenAI For-Profit Entities induced OpenAI, Inc. to breach its agreement with Musk and engaged in independently wrongful conduct by siphoning the non-profit’s most valuable assets into their for-profit apparatus. On information and belief, the OpenAI For-Profit Entities currently employ much of the non-profit’s former staff, including Altman and Brockman, house its research and intellectual property, and have facilitated rampant self-dealing. 333. On information and belief, Altman, a major stakeholder in OpenAI’s for-profit apparatus, could have donated his money to the non-profit like Musk but instead, Altman put the majority of his investment in the moneymaking scheme made possible by the OpenAI For-Profit Entities. 334. Defendants intentionally concealed their wrongful conduct, which prevented Musk from discovering their scheme, notwithstanding his exercise of due diligence. 335. As a direct and proximate result of the OpenAI For-Profit Entities’ conduct, acts, and omissions alleged hereinabove, Musk is entitled to recover the damages he sustained and will sustain, including any income, gains, compensation, profits, and advantages obtained, received, or to be received by Defendants, or any of them, arising from the wrongful acquisition of Musk’s contributions to OpenAI, Inc., including prejudgment interest. Musk is entitled to an order requiring Defendants, jointly and severally, to render an accounting to ascertain the amount of such proceeds. 336. As a direct and proximate result of Defendants’ wrongful conduct, acts, and omissions alleged hereinabove, Musk has been damaged, and Defendants have been and will continue to be unjustly enriched, in an amount that shall be assessed at trial, but which vastly exceeds $75,000, and for which restitution and/or non-restitutionary disgorgement is appropriate. Such should include the imposition of a constructive trust; a declaration by this Court that Defendants are jointly and severally the constructive trustee(s) for the benefit of Musk; and an order that Defendants convey to Musk all of the profits, assets, property, and ill-gotten gains received or to be received by Defendants, which are traceable to Musk’s wrongfully acquired financial and other contributions to OpenAI, Inc. 337. Defendants’ wrongful conduct, acts, and omissions have proximately caused and will continue to cause Musk substantial injury and damage, much of which cannot be reasonably or adequately measured or compensated in money damages. The harm this wrongful conduct will cause to Musk is both imminent and irreparable, and the amount of damage sustained by Musk will be difficult to ascertain if such wrongful conduct is allowed to continue without restraint. Musk is entitled to an injunction during the pendency of this action, and permanently enjoining Defendants, their officers, agents, and employees, and all persons acting in concert with them, from engaging in such further tortious conduct. 338. Defendants’ wrongful conduct constitutes oppression, fraud, and/or malice under Cal. Civ. Code § 3294, entitling Musk to an award of punitive damages appropriate to punish or set an example of Defendants in an amount to be determined at trial. Continue Reading Here.

Subject Agreement Across Videos
Familiarity and Enjoyment Ratings and References 10. Subject Agreement Across Videos A benefit of the VEATIC dataset is that it has multiple annotators for each video with the minimum number of annotators for any given video being 25 and the maximum being 73. Emotion perception is subjective and observers judgments can vary across multiple people. Many of the previously published emotion datasets have a very low number of annotators, often having only single digit (n < 10) number of annotators. Having so few annotators is problematic because of the increased variance across observers. To show this, we calculated how the average rating for each video in our dataset varied if we randomly sampled, with replacement, five versus all annotators. We repeated this process 1000 times for each video and calculated the standard deviation of the recalculated average rating. Figure 12a shows how the standard deviation of the consensus rating across videos varies if we use either five or all annotators for each video. This analysis shows that having more annotators leads to much smaller standard deviations in the consensus rating which can lead to more accurate representations of the ground truth emotion in the videos. Additionally, We investigated how observers’ responses varied across videos by calculating the standard deviation across observers for each video. Figure 12b shows the standard deviations across videos. We find that the standard deviations for both valence and arousal dimensions were small with valence having an average standard deviation of µ = 0.248 and a median of 0.222 and arousal having an average standard deviation of µ = 0.248 and a median of 0.244, which are comparable with the valence and arousal rating variance from EMOTIC [32].

Periwinkle Entertainment, Inc. v. The Walt Disney Company Court Filing retrieved [redacted] is part of HackerNoon’s Legal PDF Series. You can jump to any part in this filing here. This part is 10 of 12. SECOND CAUSE OF ACTION Inducing Breach of Contract 54. Plaintiff incorporates by reference and realleges each and every allegation in paragraphs 1 through 45 of this Complaint, inclusive, as though fully set forth herein. 55. Plaintiff and Marvel were parties to the Agreement, which is a valid and binding contract. 56. At all relevant times, Disney was aware of the Agreement and its terms. 57. As set forth above, Marvel breached the Agreement, including its implied covenants of good faith and fair dealing, by releasing the film on Disney+ simultaneously with its release in theatres, in violation of the Agreement which required a “theatrical release of the Picture” as the parties understood that term at the time of contracting, meaning an exclusive theatrical release of the Picture. 58. Disney intended to influence, direct, induce, or cause Marvel to commit the above described breaches because Disney knew it would benefit from such breaches. Among other benefits, Disney benefited by driving would-be theatre-goers to its wholly owned streaming platform, Disney+, allowing Disney to profit not only from the $30 Premier Access fee for the Picture but also from the subscription revenue derived from customers who either subscribed for the first time or maintained their existing subscriptions in order to watch the Picture from their own homes the same day it was released in theatres. Disney will continue to profit from those subscribers who maintain their subscriptions in order to retain access to the Picture after purchasing it via Premier Access. 59. Through its conduct, Disney caused Marvel to breach the Agreement as set forth above. But for the influence or direction of Disney, Marvel would have had no incentive, basis, and/or ability to collude with Disney; rather, absent such collusion, Marvel’s intent and desire would have been to release the Picture exclusively in theatres for an amount of time that would have maximized the box office receipts of the Picture. 60. Through its conduct, Disney caused damage to Plaintiff by, among other things, inducing acts that cannibalized box office receipts for the Picture and thereby reduced Plaintiff’s deferred compensation and box office bonuses under the Agreement, in an amount to be proven at trial. 61. Disney’s conduct was a substantial factor in causing Plaintiff’s harm. 62. In engaging in the misconduct alleged herein, Disney acted with malice, oppression, or fraud, and in willful disregard of Plaintiff’s rights and interests, thus entitling Plaintiff to an award of punitive damages in an amount appropriate to punish or make an example of Disney pursuant to Civil Code § 3294.
