On: Launch HN: Peer5 (YC W17) – Serverless CDN

[bexp]

Hi @shacharz do customers approve that his device would be used in p2p work ? For example if I'm on cell network I don't want to server traffic to other clients.

[shacharz → bexp]

We detect what network you're on, on a cellular network you wouldn't upload and only leech from other users and http.

Are you able to do that if the user is connected to a VPN? I frequently connect to a work VPN on my laptop using my phone as a hotspot.

[shacharz → heywire]

That's an interesting scenario, we didn't consider it but we can include it as well.

done !

[alexilliamson → bexp]

There are still posts with no link to the comments. Seems like it is happening whenever the summary is also missing below the title (currently "5. Ask HN: Leave job right before app goes to production?" is like this)

Just pages for now.

Alright! Did you ever try to run a summarizer on a post's comment section? It pretty much creates an "article" for you. I've always thought that article generation from comment threads is an area that should be explored.

there are couple things here: 1. scrapping web page to get text content 2. use NLTK to proccess text and get summary and keywords 3. wrap it into REST API and serve as web service

[jeffehobbs → bexp]

You could probably get cleaner input for step 1 via the Mercury API [https://mercury.postlight.com/web-parser/] — it has a lot of affordances for different kinds of HTML formatting.

[bexp → jeffehobbs]

Thanks will try at some point, my biggest concern was that those kind of API's are almost all paid and rarely open sourced.

I used NLTK in Python http://nltk.org + Twisted for serving HTTP

[amirouche → bexp]

NLTK has no machine learning algorithm AFAIK

On: How to Build the Future with Sam Altman

[bexp]

Agree with above, Sama puts himself into same bucket of people as Zuck and Musk in how to build future series. What he has build so far ? Happened to be a VC partner sitting on huge pile of cash, distributing it to bunch of YC applicants ? I could see Paul Graham as YC founder takes some credit for creating all YC unicorns, Sam is just one of many partners in VC firm, nothing outstanding though.

He is the President.

In VC world there are only Limited Partners (LP who give money) and general/managing partners (who invest money), everything else is non-essential.

Awesome, I was waiting this to happen for years. Paying $$$ to newrelic was not an option for me.
