https://mmabetsharp.com A website to help make informed bets on the UFC. It presents a lot of relevant data if you're serious about MMA sports betting. I made this during the pandemic and tried to promote it through Reddit and Twitter, but it mostly fell flat and ran out of steam. I only scratched the surface of what I intended here. The data on the site is a bit outdated since neither I nor anyone has used it in a w…

This is rad. I'd love to see it updated with current data. I've tried to bet on MMA with mixed results, but ultimately tried to find a data driven approach to place wagers. My approach would net me tons of open browser tabs trying to track down stats about each fighter :( I really like what you've done.

Thanks I really appreciate that. MMA (UFC specifically) is still wide open to advantage betting because lines are often highly narrative-based. Data itself WRT to MMA is often misleading though for so many reasons (e.g., low quality of opponents presenting a skewed perception of fighter ability). However, looking at specific things is often quite useful.

The submission charts section of the site was particularly useful to me. You find that some fighters are skilled at one specific submission and that sometimes their opponents are highly vulnerable to that particular submission.

A big issue I found when trying to market the site was that, the majority of bettors have no interest in looking at data, reviewing fights, or putting any time towards making informed bets. Most people prefer to place bets naively primarily for the sake of entertainment.

A instant tech job search engine powered by Algolia, https://jsniffer.com/ It's been an on/off side project last 2 years. Expected people to come with strong criticism on it, since it is far from done and the way that I capture metadata is not great yet. Instead I received no comments, which I think it was worse haha.

Don't see a way to filter by tags. For example JavaScript only jobs.

https://www.movably.com/ Got beat up a bit here originally- didn't have the science to share to back up our claims. Now we do, moving regularly prevents back pain & can be easy and without impacting desk work productivity. Study report: https://www.movably.com/_files/ugd/ba4f7a_ee962b83d95e4c47a4...

Pretty cool product, best of luck moving forward!

You can halve[0] the carbon footprint of your electricity use (eg EV charging, heating/cooling) simply by using at the right time of day. GreenForecast.au uses simple-but-effective ML to predict the next 7 days of Greenness with good temporal stability, allowing you to plan loads for you or your business.

It also predicts wholesale power prices across that time.

I would be pleased to provide API access.

I made https://welovefreemovies.com It's a showcase of movies that people made and released for free on YouTube (my original submission has better details). I'm pretty sure it got hit by the auto spam filter due to the name. OG submission if you're interested: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34288257

Looks nice. Suggestion: I'd like to see the length of each movie without first having to click on its link.

Will definitely add that! Thank you!

https://crowdview.ai - search engine for forums and discussion sites Like many of you, I find Google results to be full of SEO spam and have resorted to adding "site:reddit.com" or "site:news.ycombinator.com" to all my queries (since 2015!). Otherwise, it's really hard to figure out "what does a genuine, real life human think about this thing?". But limiting my results to just Reddit isn't ideal because so much great…

This is great. I would love a date filter but even without, it is very useful.

I think these are a couple of cool serverless ML apps, recently built with new open-source models:

Very interesting.

This is like snakemake but with go.

The audit trail is very interesting, especially for certified version controlled pipelines.

Is it being continually developed?
