Merry CHRISTmas HN! Got a super awesome CHRISTmas gift - this Kosmos run is probably saying that I found a "“Parsimonious Multi-Module Multi-Omics Stacked Classifier for Neonatal Hypothermia Neuroprotection” https://platform.edisonscientific.com/kosmos/ef0a71d0-ca4d-4...

Creating stealth group in a huge Fortune 500 company with the blessing of my immediate boss but no other higher-ups. Trying to productize critical consulting tool sets in the utility industry so we can stop repeating ourselves for the 100th consulting engagement.
Yes, customer is a special snowflake but they still need 90% or whatever every other client in this industry needs.
Feeling increasingly like this is a fools errand.
Even though we've proved this out with tool sets strung together with duct tape and safety pins, and are therefore the most profitable group within our department, we still need to be 100% billable.
It's only because we're the most profitable group that we can pretend we're all billable while I work with two other people to bootstrap this crazy project
Edit: anyone hiring? Just found out my boss is quitting.
Very interesting. Maybe we can chat and explore? DM me on my X.com - it's on my HN about page - copy-paste the HN link here for context :)

You’re spot on with this. I recently converted a local history book from 1911 to Markdown, ePub and HTML and tracked the changes on GitHub. Only a handful of copies of this book exist in physical form and it has been photo copied (which is great).
However, I was completely shot down by the local library when I was discussing it with them. They said they already had a photo copy and didn’t need anymore digital editions, I tried to explain the benefits of having it in a machine readable format but they wouldn’t entertain it. I completed the project for me, so I wasn’t too bothered, but thought they might have been interested in archiving it but they weren’t.
My general feeling is that they didn’t like an outsider contributing and touching on a format they didn’t know so got slightly defensive.
can you share the links to your project?
This is so good! I've been looking for a tool that will simulate the "listen to the Spiderman movie 50x" experiment https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eliB_y0fmSk and this site can do it!
