Working on Lunova — a QuickBooks Online app that you can create custom alerts via SMS/email such as when big deposits land, invoices go overdue, or vendor prices spike. Just cleared Intuit’s tech/security + marketing review (Took over 3 months... after building the MVP) and we’re now live on the QBO App Store. Feedback and feature requests welcome: https://uselunova.com

I am considering it. It starts at $300/month so it's definitely a stiff payment for what I can afford now.

Pretty smooth once you respect the limits: 500 calls/min + 10 concurrent per realm. We run a per-realm token bucket and queue work; If you throttle and batch, you won’t hit 429s, but I talked to a few QB app owners and bigger apps tend to find it restrictive.

This is literally everything in the creative industry...

that's a ridiculous take and blinded by your own preferences... It's all content... and it's all trying to get "Eyes on content. For a long as possible."

"In the old days, the Olympics was a venue were aspiring athletes got to get a second chance of turning pro, or at the very least a way for them to get recognition for their hard work. Now in many cases, it is now a bunch of multi-millionaires feeding their somewhat narcissistic drives."

This entire sentence is ridiculous and inaccurate.

Hey Herman, how are you pulling the text from the provided url? and using that as input for your LLM?

$10,000 > $0

I wish I had the skills to create beautiful/art like website. is there anywhere to get started learning?

"I've grown unfond of this attitude. I most certainly don't own it. I have no IP rights to it at all. We're both being paid to solve different facets of the same problem."

If you are a dev on the team that owns that service then it's you and your team's responsibility to answer all of these questions... Even Org's SOP would end up reaching back to the team who owns the service if problem's arises...

Traditional Finance solved this problem hundreds of years ago...

Garry, I only have one ask (maybe two)!... Force them all to keep making those YC Office Hour videos lol! Even better, whoever your editing team is for your channel... add them to the team as well.

All the best!

Yep, that's what i did. Every 15 min I would measure the sentiment of given topics, normalize the messy data and plot them. you can overlay this against a time series of price data.

Twitter also has a historic tweets api. It's more work, but you can backtest as well.

I built a similar tool. but I used twitter and tracked the sentiment of topics including stock and crypto. It's an interesting angle, if you'd want to pursue it.

There is somewhat of correlation between online sentiment & crypto price movements, there are a couple papers on the topic. However, it is quite difficult to trade against. I work on wall street (tech side) so this was mostly just past time activity.

Random, but along the same vein I worked on a side project which allowed people to create a paid bounty for answering a stackoverflow question. The way it worked was that you would create a question on stackoverflow, go to our website and pay for your bounty with the stackoverflow link, then when any random stackoverflow user answers your question and the answer is accepted, they can simply create and account, authenticate and we will send then their winnings.

I built a remedial MVP, but it worked. Lots of edge cases and concerns when it comes to handling money movement for multiple parties. If you ever look to expand your use case, that could be cool. I was willing to pay for a Kubernetes stackoverflow question that was killing me, so i built that.

The limiting factor was Operator attention and issues with an environment.

In a closed, mapped environment like a campus with minimal street crossings. The robot can make its way to the restaurant, get the delivery and make the delivery, with out operator input or attention… even if people block the robot, it can navigate around and interact. After a couple failed attempts, it alerts an operator and then manual action may occur.

Some situations were a bit more complicated. I’ve had to navigate 4 robots, all at street crossings with different types of traffic. The safe thing to do is, take care of them one at a time, even if a couple robots miss the light.

Once a crossing light changes and things look safe, we would just initiate the crossing. The robot can navigate on its own.

I worked for this specific company, a couple years ago, as a robot handler and operator.

In situations like this it is possible for an operator to manually organize the robots.

Before I left we were making great strides to allow 1 operator to be able to keep tabs on up to 5 robots at a time in certain neighborhoods.

Campuses, which are fully and thoroughly mapped, can probably have 1, maybe 2 operators at a time. Just watching and interjecting when issue arises.

it's more of just a script a newer company will use to do the initial setup for laptops. Great starting point if you have security and preferred software before the new hire's first day.

The Post-mortem is gonna be guarded by 24/7 manned security lol

Suspends Twitter Operation... Then uses Twitter to publicize the announcement. Ridiculous

Anybody have link to the memo?

Well, I’ll be damned!

I literally just purchased a boilerplate template that looked like shit, but it met 80% of my needs... so I acquiesced.

You got me... I’ll purchase. All I ask is for support to be there.

Right before I was going to sign up to watch Hamilton... lol, Smart

Judge Les Hayes once sentenced a single mother to 496 days behind bars for failing to pay traffic tickets. The sentence was so stiff it exceeded the jail time Alabama allows for negligent homicide.

Johnson’s three children were cast into foster care while she was incarcerated. One daughter was molested, state records show. Another was physically abused.

Speechless... Makes my blood boil

Hey Guys & Gals, I'm CJ.

Over a year ago, I launched a Finance Newsletter called The Crypt. This Newsletter used various NLP techniques to automatically summarize News Articles and help me grow a budding Newsletter that was later acquired.

Over the past couple of months, as I've been stuck in the house... I have refined the tech, moved from Flask to Node, and determined better techniques, APIs, and Libraries to help develop a Simple, Concise, Tech & Finance Newsletter I think you will enjoy.

I appreciate the both of you. Will definitely jump on SendGrid and get started.

Hmm, I really like that last point you've made... both highly positive and negative takes, I'll look into that.

For the semantic analysis process, we are using Microsoft's API - scores from 0-1. And for the most part, it is pretty good based on our views on neutrality (which of course has some inherent biases).

0.5 is considered pretty indifferent, however, we allow for a threshold of 0.35 - 0.75 as neutral, but we specify it's lean on our end.

On Reddit, we've tested our summaries in the comments for tl;dr and we actually indicate the articles lean for example "This article is neutral with a negative lean on the topic".

In Finance, top publications do a great job on maintaining neutrality. However, if we ever get into politics... we'll need to take this a little more seriously!

Thanks for the comment.

lol yea, we are still working on our choosing process. Right now it's really just our preferences vs the criteria we've set up using NewsApi.

Sorry for the late reply,

Honestly, we still need more testing.

However, our top 3 tend to usually be Luhn's Heuristic Method, Latent Sentiment Analysis, and TextRank.

On the other hand, we have yet to use a single summary produced solely using SumBasic... I'll need to read into that one more.
