Ask HN: What could you do when you have a good idea but no one's getting it?
Recently I had an idea that hopefully could increase the throughput of one of our experiments 10-100 folds, using some ML procedure.
I've made several IPython notebook style simulations of the experiments, showing that it indeed works , even when a relatively large degree of noise (to what is expected from the 'real' experiment) is introduced into the system.
To validate it in-vivo, I need a small budget and another experimental scientist. However, none of them really 'get it'. Even though I have an in-silico POC that the method is noise-proof and at least worth a shot, they were reluctant to to try it (and subsequently, the senior management who rely on their opinion mostly dismissed it).
I talked with a few friends of mine who also have CS background and they share my enthusiasm once I described that idea.
Technically, I'm not allowed to share any of my work, so I can't really share an opinion of someone from the outside. I'm really frustrated and thinking about sharing this idea online anonymously, so that at least other people and can benefit from that. What do you guys think?
