A Reddit alternative where the ranking for posts was personalized to each user. The ranking would be based the similarity between the voting history of the people who've voted compared to your own voting history. Think Netflix recommendation algorithm for Reddit.
Couldn't this simply exacerbate the very problem of echo chambers in social media?
Natural language understanding. This will open Pandora's can, sort of, because really intelligent surveillance and ad targeting becomes possible. Combine a neural network and a lexicon and map an uttering to a graph with probabilities where the graph nodes are entries in the lexicon. Note that this is partly independent from speech recognition. Perhaps speech could be translated to a string of word alternatives with…
This is already done, but probabilities are used to determine the best alternative.
So basically we ask
if p("which" | "Ding dong", "is dead") This generally doesn't give us an understanding of the text.
I always wanted to build an indoor navigation system for a phone. Large office buildings, hotels and especially department stores can be hard to find stuff in and you have to rely on navigation signs of inconsistent quality. I couldn't build it because I a) lack hardware expertise to figure out tricks to navigate without GPS or/and map buildings and b) never figured out a realistic GTM for this.
One JavaScript framework to rule them all
I don't think these ideas would take over communities neither the world, but they are awesome: 1) Some kind of crawler that goes through YouTube videos indexing them and its subtitles and then when a user searches a word or idiom the web app would show some part of a video that speaks exactly that search term. I know there are other services that does that, but I want something more natural since these services use s…
Both ideas are personally music to my ears. I also happened to work on some of the titles you mention and a huge player of UO. What a game! On that thread, an arcade arena style PvP, where play is progressive and evolving. Basically LORD (legend of the red dragon) with today's VR tech. But Riot will undoubtedly see it and steal it though.
Reputational Review Network - A review network where users can rate local restaurants, services, goods and other reviewers' credibility. Ratings are personalized based on your own reviews and who you find credible - this gives a user an incentive to keep their reviews honest.
Examples:
- if a person only posts 5-star or 1-star reviews, they are polarised and/or punitive. Any and all reviews from such users should be weighted accordingly - 5 stars clearly means "thumbs up, for whatever reason" and accordingly 1 star means "thumbs down, for whatever reason".
- if a person posts a fair selection of review scores, they are likely more thoughtful. Individual review scores from these users are more accurate.
- if a person posts mostly 2/3/4-star reviews, then any 1/5 star review is likely to carry a lot more weight.
To make score manipulation slightly harder, some kind of meta moderation would need to be in place too. Preferably on a per-category basis, so your reviews might have "good karma" on some topics and "bad karma" on others.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
a) Doesn't actually answer the OP's question whatsoever. b) Drones on uselessly and in a negative tone about the election; get over it.
Right. Downvote me because I react against someone who thinks that commenting about the election on a completely unrelated topic is appropriate. Good job, HN.
I've been dreaming of creating a platform that used crowd sourcing to map concept & procedural masteries to higher level masteries and to occupations. Basically, a giant graph database mapping concepts, procedures, systems (versioned), and occupations. I think such a database could be used to improve learning management systems for school faculty and autodidacts alike. It could also serve as the basis for a performan…
That's very cool. I've been thinking about "detailed" prerequisite structures (e.g. [1]) for a long time, but I never thought about connecting with occupations/jobs/competencies. In addition to replacing resumes, it could also replace exams (e.g. mastery-based grades). [1] https://minireference.com/static/tutorials/conceptmap.pdf
We've seen it in Pluralsight or FreecodeCamp where they made the paths for their users. Now, if we can turn it around by making it crowd sourced and to a wider skills, that'd be awesome.
iPlantTrees - kind of tree sharing. You want a plant, post location. You know how to plant or have money, go there and plant a real tree. 8 billion people and counting. If every 8th person plants 1 tree, we can have a billion trees.
"iPlantTrees - kind of tree sharing. You want a plant, post location." the secondary market here is you search by tree and find fruit/seeds/nuts. A more generic, iPlant would also show vegetables/crops and hook this up to seasonal sales.
A mood indicator for every person within a nation. Takes into account technical know how and intent to thwart. Think of everyone from people who dont even use phones to a SF techie. The goal is to share in parseable data what is important to you on a daily basis (or as often as you like) so that sentiment is not a surprise to fellow countrymen or governments, advertisers, entertainers etc.
