Garry, I only have one ask (maybe two)!... Force them all to keep making those YC Office Hour videos lol! Even better, whoever your editing team is for your channel... add them to the team as well.
I built a similar tool. but I used twitter and tracked the sentiment of topics including stock and crypto. It's an interesting angle, if you'd want to pursue it.
There is somewhat of correlation between online sentiment & crypto price movements, there are a couple papers on the topic. However, it is quite difficult to trade against. I work on wall street (tech side) so this was mostly just past time activity.
Yep, that's what i did. Every 15 min I would measure the sentiment of given topics, normalize the messy data and plot them. you can overlay this against a time series of price data.
Twitter also has a historic tweets api. It's more work, but you can backtest as well.
Random, but along the same vein I worked on a side project which allowed people to create a paid bounty for answering a stackoverflow question. The way it worked was that you would create a question on stackoverflow, go to our website and pay for your bounty with the stackoverflow link, then when any random stackoverflow user answers your question and the answer is accepted, they can simply create and account, authenticate and we will send then their winnings.
I built a remedial MVP, but it worked. Lots of edge cases and concerns when it comes to handling money movement for multiple parties. If you ever look to expand your use case, that could be cool. I was willing to pay for a Kubernetes stackoverflow question that was killing me, so i built that.
The limiting factor was Operator attention and issues with an environment.
In a closed, mapped environment like a campus with minimal street crossings. The robot can make its way to the restaurant, get the delivery and make the delivery, with out operator input or attention… even if people block the robot, it can navigate around and interact. After a couple failed attempts, it alerts an operator and then manual action may occur.
Some situations were a bit more complicated. I’ve had to navigate 4 robots, all at street crossings with different types of traffic. The safe thing to do is, take care of them one at a time, even if a couple robots miss the light.
Once a crossing light changes and things look safe, we would just initiate the crossing. The robot can navigate on its own.
This is how I assumed the ones near me operate - they are mostly independent and a live person takes over if it gets in trouble or encounters a tough situations. I can imagine one person being able to operate more than 5 if they have solid pathing.
it's more of just a script a newer company will use to do the initial setup for laptops. Great starting point if you have security and preferred software before the new hire's first day.
All the best!
