I normally agree, but this is clearly just for fun and for poking around with cloud tools. The author is not making claims about accuracy or anything, I think this post is not a good one for the stampede of “well actually...” ML approach bashing of HN. This is a nice post.

In my mind it stands in contrast to the SMART stats hard drive failure model post from a few days ago - that was an inappropriate approach AND the person was putting forward as actually being a valid analysis workflow & conclusion.

This post is obviously just for giggles, and it’s very good.
