Assembling my CPS5 underwater drone: https://www.cpsdrone.com/


Impressive! Love how you have hacked yourself into such a great idea.


Absolutely agree.

We're big fans of SCALE at https://stratoflow.com, as it's a natural enabler for AMD hardware to break into more serious AI and machine learning (remember that term?) workloads.

And honestly, I still can't understand why they haven't been acquired by AMD yet.


Hey there!

Would love to connect and hear more about what you like about SCALE and where you'd like it to go.

AMD is a part of our strategy, but it's not the end-game - we envision SCALE to be vendor neutral and have plans to support all of the competitive GPUs that come out in the future, including AMD, NVIDIA, Intel and any newcomers.

I am working on an open-source insurance application platform.

The main goal is to accelarate time-to-market for insurance and insurtech innovations, providing all these "boring" enterprise features (like multitenancy, role-based security, audit trails, etc.) out of the box, so that you can focus on building the actual product.


Any plans to integrate with Download providers like IVANS?


What tricks do you have in mind, like super personalized retargeting?


I have one trick, and I won't share it because it's very niche and my margins are very thin (well, still slightly negative...) so any competition would kill it entirely. But it came about as a result of closely looking at my audience, looking for ways to precisely target them, and creating ads in a way that that demographic likes.

Before that, I had some success using Python to generate many thousands of niche google keywords (e.g. don't advertise on "Learn Spanish", but instead "How to learn Estonian quickly" and "What's the best way to learn Hungarian online") and advertising on them. It didn't have a positive ROI for me, but it might for other people with larger margins.

Tricks exist, you just have to look for them. Remember that most marketing people can't code, and exploit that.



I’m surprised to see the previous six comments being negative.

There’s nothing wrong with building a simple, potentially useful service and charging for it upfront.

This is actually a great example of how you should test such ideas.

Congratulations - and the market validation journey has just begun. Cheers!


I'm one of the negative comments. It's just how it comes off. Putting on the front of the site that this will find you "market-validated ideas" just rubs me the wrong way.


Thank you for saying that


But can it actually do that, or is it just matching a known photo with its textual description from the internet?


no idea. the title is just wrong/typo was my only point.

elon says it can, so what does that tell you?
