Ask HS: Looking for Korean-language resources on RFIM or temporal graph modeling

Looking for Korean-language resources on RFIM or temporal graph modeling

I’ve recently started looking into system modeling and came across concepts like the Random Field Ising Model (RFIM) and temporal graph structures. I’m still new to this area, and while I’ve been going through English materials, I was wondering:

Are there any Korean-language resources, guides, or explanations on these topics? Even blog posts or translated papers would be helpful.

What Shopify got wrong- and how we are unbundling it

Fri, 04/18/2025 - 3:08am

I’ve been obsessed with how traditional businesses in Africa and beyond are still stuck on Instagram, WhatsApp, and walk-ins — not because they don’t want to grow, but because today’s platforms don’t speak their language. Platforms like Shopify, Wix, and Bubble are too horizontal. They require too much thinking, design, configuration. The next wave? Hyper-vertical platforms that "think" for the user.

Imagine:

A platform just for spare part dealers — with inventory categories built-in.

A platform just for mobile barbers — with preloaded service menus and booking calendars.

A platform just for tailors — with customer measurement tracking and fitting reminders.

That’s what we’re building: the unbundling of Shopify, into verticalized, plug-and-play platforms for real businesses around the world.

We’re starting in Africa — where this leap can have a generational impact.

I'd love feedback on:

Best vertical to start with

How to balance UX simplicity with extensibility

Building a scalable engine for multiple verticals

AMA — and brutally honest feedback welcome.

Show HN: I built an AI-powered packaged food ingredients list vegetarian scanner

Fri, 04/18/2025 - 3:06am

Hey HN.

I have been a vegetarian for the past ten years. At the grocery store, I often find myself manually scanning the ingredient lists on packaged foods, relying on my own knowledge and eyesight to identify non-vegetarian or unfamiliar ingredients that might affect my diet.

That's why I built Veri.fy, a go-to vegetarian food scanner powered by Google Vision API and Gemini AI. It helps scan ingredient lists on packaged foods and classifies each ingredient as vegetarian or not.

Have a quick look and let me know your thoughts.
