I am building an analytics calculator/toy that slowly turned into something useful. It started as curiosity. I wanted to see if I could express business logic as simple choices and let the numbers fall out on their own. The app is buil

There is also a religious element to suicide that cannot be overlooked. Also, I Spain your view of Spain is tainted. I think very few people would choose an average city in Spain over e.g. Copenhagen where 20% of the Danish population live.

We are fairly AI positive, have pro chatgpt licenses for all and have our own software division building custom tools. So we feel ready to "take the next step". There is also other elements: it sounds fun, offer great inspiration,

As someone in the industry as well for many years (coming from the business side having ventured into software), the main problem is always that the software just is not good enough and do not account for all the edge cases - leaving many u

Well not for humans, but I believe it is for ChatGPT given the incomplete information that is often found in chat when users text each other this information (and which is why it is valuable to structure it, package it and make it transpare

My gut feeling says no, as there are: 1. different maturities 2. 24 different regions 3. Four different pricing categories So the complexity of assigning the right input value to the right pricing curve is quite high.

My thought was AI, but I believe that there is to much room for AI to misunderstand the communication (which happens via instant messaging). However, a hybrid approach could perhaps be the way to go: I.e. monitor everyone’s chats and then s

#Chaxor: I fully agree with this. I am not keen on this being a one horse race, and for privacy reasons would like to deploy these models locally. However, it seems for many programmers it is somewhat easy to build something that can query

Thank you, I think that is a good logic to apply - but then it begs the question: how do you determine where your edge comes from? Is it brand, credit terms, insights, etc. There are many types of trades and markets :-)

Thank you for the comment, and some very valid points. I am a trader so I am doing this for profits, not empire building. That should speak for buying everything off the shelf (I have also noted that data/SaaS products tend to become c
