I do bespoke clustering for data sets small or big (> Tb): images, text, sound, time-series, code.

Most clustering methods break down when the data gets messy—overlapping groups, spherical clusters have too coarse resolution, unclear boundaries, weak signal. Tools like K-means assume simple shapes. Real data rarely behaves that way.

I build custom clustering solutions that work on difficult datasets, where patterns are subtle but still there. I’ve applied this across biomedical data, legal documents, IoT sensors, imaging, and behavioral data.

If your data has structure but standard methods aren’t finding it, I can help uncover it and go beyond k-means, cosine similarity and random forests.

If an initial data analysis shows there’s no meaningful signal to extract, there’s no charge. All clustering is done bespoke, reviewed by ML scientists.

If the company with which I applied for O1 goes bankrupt what happens to my visa status?

Our reason for going all in with GCP was the k8s. We've been using GCP for 2+ years. The trouble we have is with stability and so many of the features being constantly rolled out.

Our experience was that K8s cost more on GCP than AWS.

Just on LoadBalancers alone, you have tons of tricks that are specific to GCP implementation. And we needed a few extra because you couldn't run all the features we wanted on 1-2 per cluster. For example, we have a 3rd party that required all our requests to always originate and respond back from a fixed IP address. We could only pick one not a range, not a list. This was a hard requirement. The service was important so we had to do it.

It took our team several days to find how to do it using online documentation and support. Tech support was useless. We had one guy in our team that spent 2 days on the phone with a paid, local GCP implementation partner trying to get this problem sorted. Nothing came out of it other than being pitched on our dime a lot of services and architecture we didn't need. Eventually we figure it out on our own. I don't even remember speaking about this when we transitioned to AWS.

Google runs their tech stack as if it's a startup that builds their CV. Everything is immature, tons of hacks, undocumented features. If you are on their k8s there are tons of upcoming new versions and features that force you to revisit key hacks you put in your infra because of their misgivings. Our infra team keeps tinkering around our infra and it never ends. It's 50:50. 50% of time making sure we are prepared for their shit and 50 % our ambitious infra plans. Good luck with that.

With AWS our bill is 60% of what GCP used to be running 3 k8s clusters.

AWS support is so nice, you can't believe it.

Nah, I don't trust Google with anything. It's a scam. Google's support is horrendous. They refer you to idiots that drag you through calls until your will for life dies. And you're back to the mercy of some lost engineer that may comment on a github issue you opened 20 days ago. We have a bug reported back in 2020 that got closed recently without any action because it became stale and the API changed so much it doesn't really matter. It's that bad.

The billing day is a monthly reminder you're paying entitled devs to do subpar work other companies do a lot better.

No, we don't miss them already.

The Lenny's podcast semantic search gives me the chance to find only the 'filet mignon' of the content without much faf. I love it as I built it to satisfy a personal need.

Disclosure: I helped build it. We are adding more content to it. What shall we add next and what needs do you have around searchable podcasts and expert knowledge?

This line of thinking wasn't yet authorised by the US government so it must be fake news until approved.

Security can be achieved not at channel level but at message level: If cannot decrypt the message then it's not for you. At the expense of overhead you open the door for flexibility.

Ultimately it's a tool. What it matters is how you use it. Definitely better than using shared memory for IPC. Files are by default not secured either. Anyone can write into it.

Getting there thought might take quite a while :)

In the same time, you cannot go wrong with selling to 10 clients if this is something withing the reach. In the same time this can be very strenuous when you run on small budget and the runway is within sight.

These 10 clients, are also the ones that are going to allow me to raise capital from a VC.

It's quite brutal to be honest.

How do you get your 10 paying clients?

Greateful for your thoughts.
