I found this book to be the most approachable Deep Learning book that actually helped me build something.

Capitalism has trained us to equate productivity with our self-worth. So please don't feel the need to be constantly busy during the pandemic. You are enough, regardless of what you're building / making / cashing out on.

Having said that, if you're truly interested in a project and it keeps you engaged, go for it and I hope you're enjoying it!!!

anybody know of a good Python API for options prices? I don't think Alpaca has them

In a similar boat. Would like historical bid/ask if possible and live bid/ask (not 15 min delay). Willing to pay if it's not hundreds per month.

I bought historical option data in the past directly from CBOE [0]. Depending on what you need the prices are very reasonable. E.g. for a single symbol ~$70-$80 for a year depending on the interval you need. There is a big discount if you just buy all the symbols.

I cannot recommend the stock prices though. Somehow there were just a lot of mistakes and you can get them from other sources cheaper.

I got them from InteractiveBrokers a while back. It was definitely not hundreds per month, more like 15/mo

TD's API supports option chains. They don't have a good first party Python library, but it's pretty straight forward.

IEX only does end of day pricing and even that is delayed until the next day.

Check out Tradier, https://documentation.tradier.com

In full disclosure, I work at Tradier.

The "Ethical concerns" section in the article feels like a punt. The author quoting "this technology is really about better storytelling" is aspirational -- the technology's story will be written by those who use it, and you can bet people will use this maliciously.

See this? This hand grenade I'm leaving in the schoolyard? This is about better games of hot potato.

And that's loads more self-aware than other researchers' I've seen completely blindsided by obvious ethical questions at end of their paper talks.

"Fixed film dialog without reshoots" and "better story telling" seemed rather compelling to me.

Perhaps the malicious use cases are more obvious due to how trustworthy a video can appear.

Maybe the real problem here is capitalism and productivity porn.

>productivity porn.

Guilty of that. I've seen friends who are young (14-15) and they talk about work smart not hard, 80/20 and deliberate practice to break through the plateu. Can't tell if I should find it kinda funny or just sad. Business books do ruin social life and makes you very critical of yourself

Go Goran!!

Maybe kids should just stare at a screen less and go outside
