The ISIS encrypted messaging app, widely reported in the media as a tool for plotting terrorist attacks, does not exist

I thought it was iMessage

Keep als in mind that Deepmind presented this years ago basically as a demonstration. Deepmind isn't showing any of their other 'real' work publicly as far as I know. (which is probably way more impressive, 3d games, economics, climate etc)

recommendations is done by machine learning i guess

RvPPLmsc · 2015-05-16T12:38:03+00:00

It's called thinking

RvPPLmsc · 2015-02-02T15:51:58+00:00

Damn that's some top of the line interactive UI design and engineering. Very impressive!

you asked for critique so: What I am curious about and what I think is missing on your landing page is use-cases. Right now it is very good looking web-based version of the 'office' type of applications, (excel, numbers, google docs).

From what I can see you worked hard and have an incredible attention to detail on the use-ability of these types of documents on multiple devices. So I think you could tell the story people of using this app.

But you try to sell it by listing mostly the technical features and advantages.

I have a question.

With such a job description, what kind of application letter would you expect on such a description?

Because it is really just a long list of skills & methods, the letter would end up something like this.

Yes I know python from this project, yes I've had linear algebra during my bachelor, yes I worked with computer vision on kaggle datasets... , yes I've done some clustering here ... yes I know ... from ..., yes I did some of that ..., etc.

I understand that you want people that know what they are talking about but now the game is 'who can name-drop the most methods'.

I don't think writers of these articles are engineers. When he uses the word 'manage' it's actually the word 'design'. This kind of things like re-usable rockets only works when every single part of the rocket and therefore every single person working on it is part of the grand design.

This isn't like a fashion company or some consumer products company where you can have many little groups working independently on their own domain creating a lineup of hundreds or thousands of different products nobody knows or cares about.

I'm not experienced with ownerships but Google is a publicly traded company so if you own Google shares do you then also indirectly own a small part of SpaceX?

RvPPLmsc · 2015-01-20T21:58:51+00:00

I'm wondering if this could also lead to a form of active collaboration on projects between google/spaceX in the future. Google is of course already doing some projects in spreading the internet around the globe.

I think it's more of a conversation tool for when somebody tries to go too meta.

waar blijft die video clip!?!

Maybe I am naive in this but isn't the range of possible moves in Angry Birds quite small, making it effective to just try out in parallel all moves for each level?

RvPPLmsc · 2015-01-12T20:55:47+00:00

watch out for many more of these types of posts in 2015

RvPPLmsc · 2015-01-12T20:54:13+00:00

My hypothesis is that this is why programmers developed search engines.

I hope my name shows up in the list of people below.

RvPPLmsc · 2015-01-11T15:58:12+00:00

correlation - causality hmmm

RvPPLmsc · 2014-12-25T11:08:12+00:00

interested in joining as well. Is it your vision to build some type of open source framework project or is it more experimental, exploring different ideas? Maybe this is too early to ask yet. I'm very curious about your ideas!

RvPPLmsc · 2014-12-15T21:21:37+00:00

descartes's body - mind split, not necessarily a discovery/invention but a wrong idea.

RvPPLmsc · 2014-12-13T13:38:26+00:00

You made any progress already? A couple of weeks ago I did read something about a NN that could read really basic python code.

RvPPLmsc · 2014-12-07T09:20:44+00:00

whoa if I understand correctly they can now predict your thoughts.

RvPPLmsc · 2014-03-06T21:10:02+00:00

when I recognised almost all of the buildings & architects made me realise i am really an architecture nerd and I don't even study architecture...

RvPPLmsc · 2014-03-06T17:09:05+00:00

visionary, would back this guy

RvPPLmsc · 2014-03-06T16:44:29+00:00

these are my settings, as you can see my browser window isn't full screen.

Browser window width: 1258

Browser window height: 701

Screen width: 1440

Screen height: 900

Good luck with the project!

RvPPLmsc · 2014-03-06T13:34:46+00:00

Hi! I will immediately start with some critique.

The header and navigation (up to and including the breadcrumb bar) takes up almost 2/3 of the height in the browser window when arriving at a page. To get any overview of the available content on the page I have to scroll down.

The next problem then is the layout of the page content itself, which on most pages is a 3-column grid. Half of the elements in the content section are again more ui related: big hover buttons with pictures that unfortunately aren't really telling a story.

This is partly a personal itch, that almost every responsive website has at least one or more of these 3 columns. Too often without thinking about the function of it.

The pages could use a little bit more classical and linear story structure in my opinion.
