Eventual goal before I return to work next year is to have a robot I can take on walks with me that will pick up trash.

#453I’ll eventually open source the single binary agent that’ll bootstrap a host into a K8s node. Just run it rootless with a join URL and voilà!
Also in the pipeline is a global load balancer service (for your clusters).
What do y’all reckon? Interesting? Yay/nay?

#454The open tooling is quite lacking in the sense that one has to create a lot of stuff manually. Especially for the evaluations, even though most of them are quite common in the actuarial realm.
Also I wanted to tinker with Jax. So I am basing all on Jax, polars, seaborn/matplotlib and scipy.
I already have lift plots and Poisson regression in Jax. I’ll keep adding to it over the next months as time allows.

#455Most funny thing is that the toughest part related to the project had nothing to do with coding or tech. But finding a free domain. I had no idea 99% of the .com domains are just squatters.

#456Have spent the last few months working on the current release.
It uses rust and Tauri under the hood.

#460I used to work for a media monitoring company but was instantly struck by how old fashion everything was. And the total reliance on boolean searches meant only experts could find relevant information. This still appears to be the case for most players in the industry.
So I'm building a platform that finds what is important before you look for it. Novel entity linking, and sentiment analysis plus speaker tracking. It has come a long way from the proof of concept. Focused on audio media at the moment as it is the hardest to index compared to news articles in my opinion. And the hypothesis is audio media such as podcasts can contain so many juicy insights.
Next steps are converting pilot customers to paying customers, testing more markets (based in a tiny market now), raise a small pre-seed (bootstrapped at the moment), and quickly evolve the product based on feedback.
