Lol that's exactly my view as well. They hired some crypto whizkid a while back who didn't stay long and left, probably just tying up remains of their project just to have something to show for

Yes, that and improving efficiency of markets, the go to arguments for wall Street types. I used to be a sell-side trader, allocation of capital was the last thing on our minds. It might add value to the economy in the long run but I'm

I think getting a bunch of smart people to work on making automated trading strategies 24/7 is a tremendous waste of talent

I always get the feeling that the whole white collar capital game is all about skirting conflicts of interest and doing it in a legal way. It's like pretty much what the entire industry is abput

There's a lot that can be done in excel already, if someone really needed this I think they'd be able to create it with what's available already

I don't mean to be negative, it's a great looking site and works well, but there are a lot of these kind of tools popping up on show hn that don't really provide that much value. It's a cool convenience for sure but ther

They site a lot of stuff from cbinsights. I don't know about others but I find cbinsights analysis a bit sloppy sometimes. They kept crowing about the potentials blockchain and how it was the future all through the crash as though it w

I think this kind of exercise and thinking is also pretty ahead of its time, Russia really understands the implications of cyber warfare. Ww3 is really going to take place on the net

Style 2 paints is pretty sophisticated. This thing not so much. I feel like they just took some model and trained it on a specific dataset and called it "new"

Dude it wasn't meant to be snarky at all. It was literally like wtf how is this even possible.

This sounds extremely specific. Do you know where I can find a formula describing this weighting mechanism or modeling light and camera and lenses in general? Thanks!

This is crazy, how on earth do you have the patience and persistence to work on something like this??? It took five - six years?

I don't think it's the fear of losing jobs, it's more because of the flexibility it offers. There's a lot of adhoc adjustments / corrections to data / formulas that require a lot of flexibility and a coded prog

Can you actually be sued for just having the same business model as someone else? Is that even possible? If anything that's what most confused me, I thought they had a pretty interesting idea

Gary v is extremely annoying. But what makes it porn is that it's what people want to hear. Hes just selling people what they want in the end. It's a bit sad

This sounds good on paper but I don't feel we see all that many real examples of this sort of model (engineer + niche problem) or at least haven't heard of them. But then again if we did I guess that opportunities already gone or
