Ask HN: My side project is ramen-profitable. What do I do now?
Hello brother from another mother. I did a similar thing for my bachelor thesis ( source available at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;za-creature&#x2F;puls" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;za-creature&#x2F;puls</a> ). Mind going into the details of how you designed yours?<p>Mine is extracting equations from benchmarks of the form ax = b where a and b are components, picking a random &quot;unit&quot; component and fixing it to 1, and then solving the overdetermined system in a least-squares sense. I designed it that way to take all equations into account (e.g. multiple benchmarks can and should include the same components with a potential different &quot;factor&quot;) and to handle like a graph (as long as there&#x27;s a benchmark-path between any two components, they are directly comparable)<p>Edit: to ensure the graph is always connected, an additional low-weight &quot;metadata&quot; benchmark is generated from the technical specs (e.g. amount of ram, cpu speed) and the total score of a computer is calculated as the weighted sum of all components, using target-specific weight factors (e.g. a gaming pc will want a fast cpu &#x2F; gpu whereas a multimedia pc will want more capacity)
