Ask HN: Individual Researchers Submit Papers

Tue, 10/29/2024 - 7:22am

If I want to write and contribute to an article or small paper on computer science, artificial intelligence, or sociology, where should I post it? Currently, I post on my personal blog or contribute to media that I am often contacted by, but I would like to write something more academic (when the reader is an expert) and get it reviewed, but I have tried submitting to academic journals, but the registration fees and membership procedures are more expensive than I expected. Also, it is sometimes difficult to submit if you are not currently affiliated with a research institution. For those of you doing independent research, where do you post about your work?

Ask HN: How do you track your work contributions effectively?

Tue, 10/29/2024 - 7:15am

I'm looking for better ways to track my work contributions and progress, both for my own reference and for communicating with my team/manager. Currently, I struggle with:

Remembering all the small but important contributions I make throughout the sprint/quarter Quantifying impact in meaningful ways Keeping track of indirect contributions (helping others, reviewing PRs, mentoring)

What systems/tools/methods have worked well for you? How granular do you get with tracking? And how do you present this information during performance reviews or 1:1s? Particularly interested in hearing from both ICs and managers about what they find most valuable in contribution tracking.

Show HN: Cinematic Battle Simulation in Unreal Engine [video]

I created this software as a way to help Unreal Filmmakers to simulate battles. I was inspired by the incredible work on the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and I hope you all enjoy seeing what it can do!
