About memexy

Friend once asked me, "What if thoughts had Fourier transforms?"

I've been wondering what the frequency domain representation of thinking would/could look like ever since.

If you have ideas and references for personal knowledge management and engineering then I can be reached at m@e@m@e@x@y@fastmail.com (but remove all the @s before @fastmail.com).

    I merely outlined what I would want if I was a moderator. I would rather receive email with statistical analysis than be compared to Hitler and Stalin without any data to back it u…

    Yes. That's what I mean. If there is an API then we can use mathematical models to answer questions about bias or lack thereof. I also don't think that it's possible to have any fo…

    I think there is a solution to this problem. If moderator decisions are made and recorded publicly then the data can at least be analyzed objectively. If there is indeed a bias the…

    Interesting. I wonder if someone has tried to combine the two. I guess modern deep reinforcement learning is one such combination because it combines feedback (reinforcement) and p…

    I think adding "Most Favorited" would create a popularity contest and people would start looking for ways to game the system. I don't think favorites should have metrics associated…

    How does having a program / algorithm and checking it on various input values help with understanding causality?

    I guess it's tricky because the real world is full of feedback loops. If you want a causal model for fake news then your model needs to include some representation of incentives fo…
