Show HN: AI Grant – Get $2,500 for your AI project in minutes Hi HN, Last year, we launched a non-profit AI research lab called AI Grant ( http://aigrant.org ). Our goal is to fund promising people around the world working on AI. No strings attached. We've since given away over $100,000 to 30 teams working on different projects. You can see some of them here: https://ift.tt/2uXd54m . We just started accepting applications for our third batch! The academic grant application process is burdensome. It's only avalible to a choice few. Applications take days to complete. AI Grant is open to anyone on the internet. You can apply in under an hour. Fellows get: - $2,500 in cash. - $20,000 each in Google Compute Engine credits. - $5k in CrowdFlower data labeling credits. - ScaleAPI data labeling credits. - Access to the network of other Fellows Our long term goal is to build an online community of people working on interesting side-projects in AI, supporting each other. We've built some infrastructure around this (chatrooms, group video conferences). We'll continue to expand this over time. I'd be very curious to know what HN thinks about this idea, and how we might make it better. Thanks! April 5, 2018 at 06:09AM

The USB Type-C take over has already started, and as this year comes to an end, we expect to see a few more smartphones and tablets hit the market bundling compatibility for the third-generation connection. As it stands, handsets that currently feature Type-C ports only ship with a single cable and that annoyingly doesn’t support computer connectivity, so if users want to transfer files to their devices, they have to purchase an additional wire or adapter. However, these accessories aren’t cheap, so customers veer towards the more affordable, third-party cables readily available on marketplaces, such as Amazon and eBay, but that’s not a good thing. Many consumers have reported that these chargers have caused harm to their handsets, so Google Engineer Benson Leung has taken it upon himself to purchase a selection of Type-C connectors from Amazon to test and see if they meet the standard specifications for use on his Nexus device. So far, Leung has been through seven cables and clai...
