https://grizzlybulls.com It's a freemium subscription service to the algorithmic trading models / hedging systems I've been developing over the last few years. 2022 performance: SPX (benchmark): -18.77% Free models: TA - Mean Reversion Basic ( https://grizzlybulls.com/models/ta-mr-basic ): -9.93% TA - Trend Basic ( https://grizzlybulls.com/models/ta-trend-basic ): -17.79% Vix Basic ( https://grizzlybulls.com/models/v…

Do you have some suggestions for how to get into the basics of algorithmic trading from first principles without spending months or years?

https://text-generator.io an API compatible alternative to OpenAI GPT, it's more affordable and also researches linked web pages and analyses image content, also reads images with text in them so it can do extra things like explain about receipts or how people respond to emojis or images etc.

It also does speech to text over 8x cheaper than Google Cloud, there's a nice free teir, I'm surprised more people aren't taking advantage of it

OpenAI is doing well recently so the next step is to do more things they don't do and let people self Host etc.

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.

https://github.com/shish/rosettaboy The same gameboy emulator rewritten in C++, Go, Nim, PHP, Cython, Python, Rust, and Zig (and WIP typescript); mostly to teach myself the languages and to compare and contrast their idioms. Also, when taken with a very large grain of salt, usable as a language benchmark (As with all benchmarks, there are lots of caveats - but as far as I’m aware this is unique in being “the same cod…

Is the github language summary indicative of relative LoC between implementations, or are there other factors?

  C++ 24.9%
  Python 19.5%
  Rust 12.5% 
  PHP 9.5%
  Zig 9.4% 
  Nim 8.0%
  Other 16.2%
And very interesting! Would love to read (a post?) on how you saw the language differences.

Splink - a FOSS python library for probabilistic record linkage (fuzzy matching/entity resolution).

Splink is dramatically faster and works on much larger datasets than other open source libraries. I'm particularly proud of the fact we support multiple execution backends (at the moment, DuckDb Spark Athena and Sqlite, but additional adaptors are relatively straightforward to write).

We've had >4 million pypi downloads and it's used in government, academia and the private sector, often replacing extremely expensive proprietary solutions.

https://github.com/jameslawlor/reddit-playlists I made a bot last summer to generate and update weekly Spotify playlists from 100 or so music subreddits based on the top submissions of that week. Update operates entirely through a GitHub action so no resource spending. I don’t often finish my side projects so was pretty happy to have something finally usable and shareable, it’s been fun showing friends!

This is awesome, I'm already using it. Thanks so much!

A few years ago a friend and I listened to one album a week from r/hiphopheads' Essential Albums List. It got me thinking about having an "Album club" like a book club. Each week the club's playlist would get updated with a new album or songs to listen to that week.

I may use this as some inspiration to make that.

I’m an introvert – made an app to help maintain connections with people.

Landing page is at https://communiqai.com and it's also on the Play Store at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dev.mtc.ga.

CommuniqAI is an intelligent tool for scheduling and automating SMS text messages, calls and email. It’ll help you stay in touch with those who mean the most to you—and it’ll be there for you through life’s many distractions.

Let’s face it, some of us are better at communicating than others. Rather than forgetting or being “too busy” to reach out to those who are important to you, CommuniqAI will cleverly send text messages of your choosing to, and smartly prompt you to call and email, the people you care about. Whether that person is a significant other, family member, friend, or even a patient, CommuniqAI will help you stay in constant contact.

Some people are, very much, against automation technology like this, but I believe that anything that can help keep communication high between loved ones is, in the long run, a good thing. CommuniqAI, by default, will not take any action and largely act as a helpful reminder.
