Play is important to keep me interested in programming - experimenting with new deep learning ideas, playing with webgl, writing pathfinding algorithms in unity, or increasing my scraping infra to more interesting datasets.
I leave weekends for whimsical ideas and intellectual chase the shiny-thing, it stimulates my creative side and gives me things to think about during the boring parts of the week
- xcubic 9y agoWhat do you scrape?
- malux85 9y ago- Weather data (tabular) - Satellite imagery (lots of providers, lots of different bands) - Forex currency pairs (70 pairs) - Cryptocurrency pairs - Crime data - Macroeconomic indicators - Fuel prices - Bitcoin trades - P2P downloads - Twitter feeds those are just off the top of my head...
- xcubic 9y agoWhy?
- malux85 9y agoBecause having large datasets allows me to merge the data with proprietary sets, or increase my own predictive models. I have real estate models, Energy Trading models, cryptocurrency models, mechanical failure predictive models, insurance models, sentiment models and clustering models Everything is monetised
- xcubic 9y agoThat is the interesting part! "Everything is monetised" But it's also your secret so I won't ask more
