Like Google Colab, it is a free service, and is separate from your AWS subscription.

Some of the pros I see are:

• You get 15 GB persistent storage, so although you have to install all the python packages you need, they persist when you stop/restart your server.
• You can use a Git workflow with your notebooks (clone git repo, push to github etc.). Note that for github, you can save your personal access token using the command git config --global credential.helper store
• You get a JupyterLab IDE and can install extensions.
• You get a newer version of Python 3.9.7 (with Colab you get 3.7.12).

Unlike Google Colab, there are no packages installed by default. So you do have to install them (albeit just once).

Like Google Colab, you can add an "Open in Studio Lab"  badge to your github repo.

Here are links to some resources for getting started with TradingView & PineScript (mostly for my edification when I get back to this):

• PineScript Tutorials on YouTube from the Art of Trading: Also here.
• Udemy Course: Learn TradingView PineScript Programming from Scratch
• Another set of PineScript Tutorials on Youtube
• Great Intro to the TradingView UI

TradingView itself has some great documentation.  And another great resource is Kodify.

AWS Configuration:

• Use Bitnami Ghost AMI (free) from AWS Marketplace while creating your EC2 instance.
• Set up Elastic IP to get a public IP and point your IP to your domain using Route 53 as described here. (the domain registrar for HoopedOnData is GoDaddy)
• Login to your EC2 instance via ssh and obtain initial account password for Ghost admin user (user@example.com)
• Next update the site for https access as described here:

sudo cat /home/bitnami/bitnami_credentials

sudo /opt/bitnami/configure_app_domain --domain hoopedondata.com
sudo /opt/bitnami/bncert-tool
# At the prompt, enter: hoopedondata.com www.hoopedondata.com 

Ghost Configuration:

• Refer to the latest Ghost docs.
• Login to https://www.hoopedondata.com/ghost/ using the initial set of credentials
• Configure Ghost settings (General) and replace the default admin user with your profile.
• Remove profile for "Ghost" user. This also removes the default posts.
• Remove the banner by running the following command from the shell:

sudo /opt/bitnami/apps/ghost/bnconfig.disabled --disable_banner 1

Finally, thanks to this blog for the inspiration to set up a blog using Ghost.

Here's a screen shot (the score tracking is still wonky!)

The question bank for the app comes from JArchive. I have github action running in this repo that updates the question bank on a weekly basis.

The code for the app is inspired by the Jeopardy slack bot and can be accessed from this github repo.

This triggered a bunch of research, wherein I found this Dice Shop, this gem of a book by Bogomolny (Cut the Knot) and I have ordered these blank dice from Amazon to try some of these ideas out with real dice.

In the interim, I created this Google Colab to check on the probabilities of various events with the Grime Dice.

Also check this Singing Banana site!

To be continued...

I tried this out in this Google Colab. Does not work with Instagram or Facebook (at least the accounts I tried), but can be used for Twitter.

The first time I used it, I tried it with @realDonaldTrump but that account is now permanently suspended and tweets are no longer available...

So instead, here are the tweets since the start of 2021 from Andrew Ng :-)

2021-01-19 06:55:35+00:00: Today is Martin Luther King Jr. day. After the violence in the U.S. Capitol on Jan 6th, I am struck by how far MLK  advanced civil rights through nonviolent activism. Let us build on his legacy and keep finding peaceful ways to advance civil rights. https://t.co/nnCgFRi5oF

2021-01-14 00:57:40+00:00: Democracy has taken a lot of damage recently. Last Wednesday was a nadir for the U.S., and the path back will be long and hard. But I believe the country has reached a turning point. Here're my thoughts on the role AI can play to support democracy. https://t.co/rjaaetR5kW

2021-01-06 22:31:31+00:00: U.S. democracy is going through a dark day today with the Capitol building breached. But we will get through this, democracy will prevail, and we will learn from this  and strengthen our nation against future assaults. 🇺🇸

2021-01-05 20:38:51+00:00: Congrats @OpenAI on really cool image generation result from a text+image prompt! Here's my favorite set of generated examples: https://t.co/sGXFNOc93n

2021-01-04 18:53:47+00:00: @JCastroS @RyanCampagna84 @andresbarreto @antoniogm @rabois @skillshare @AI_Fund @QuinteroCalle @landingAI Thanks @JCastroS. Yes I'm really proud of our Colombia team, and am very glad we have an office there!

2021-01-01 20:06:43+00:00: Happy New Year, friends! 🎉 2020 was a tough year for many, so lets make sure to build, support each other, and lift everyone up in 2021.
