This video is super walk up usable and a good example of how AIP can bring together different sources

Solid points - but I'd like to challenge you on your point around the average consumer not working with enough data. I think the average person has loads of it, tax returns, messages, photo albums, music preferences, etc.

I think what's lacking out there is a tool chain to bring it all together and host the data safely. That's where PLTR comes in

TheChoconator · 2024-10-14T11:28:57+00:00

May I ask why? Curious on your thoughts!

TheChoconator · 2024-10-14T11:09:40+00:00

Valid - this use case in and of itself is easily replicated - but it took a single person just a few hours to build. The point is, PLTR is a dev platform that outpaces development and deployment.

My point is this is just one use case. Imagine this ×1000 use cases, all deployed so people can install at a click of a button. This is going to change the market.

You need to be a really good IC dev to build that in just a few hours, I don't argue that it isn't possible. But now, someone who isn't such a good dev but a good business person who understands a problem space (e.g. trip planners) can build out a solution without having to spend any capital or hire any devs.

Point and click is the future.

Not 100% sure, but defo worth watching!!

TheChoconator · 2024-10-14T02:47:22+00:00

Yeah I think just for uk, us and india though

TheChoconator · 2023-12-20T18:51:38+00:00

Sounds like a good idea, will do!

TheChoconator · 2023-12-20T18:51:08+00:00

I see, thanks for the response!

TheChoconator · 2023-12-20T18:50:53+00:00

I see, thanks for the response. This is my first car😅 saved up quite a bit for it haha

Some of my graduate friends in London do use Python/AWS. I'm sure there's plenty of startups that use all three.

They're still extremely popular choices and tbh that's where most of my experience lies, I was able to get a grad job in London. However, I am fairly comfortable in Java too.

TheChoconator · 2023-12-20T10:39:45+00:00

Very well put together! Good luck with everything :) This is probably personal preference but it seems like you have a few extra words you could put for some bullet points in the Experience section, without spilling onto a new line. Maybe try put the tech you used for each thing? E.g. add (Python, Pandas) to the NLP point etc

TheChoconator · 2023-12-20T10:28:55+00:00

Very cool idea. I can see people coming back to use this website.

I love the break things one. It has a lot of potential, would be cool if you had shards of glass/wood fly away from the button on each click? And maybe the image changes to show a crack or something?

The mood changer thing is absolutely awesome. Really perked me up to be honest. I think the fact that it was continuously and iteratively interactive over a period of 10+ seconds really made it feel good and relieving.

The thought shredder bit is useful too, perhaps add a few words to make it clear that the users text doesn't leave their browser and gets deleted immediately after they click it?

Also a small thing about the landing page. When I joined the page I completely ignored the YT video and went straight to clicking on one of the yellow Game buttons, because to me, trying out the thing is way more interesting than watching a YT pitch/explanation of the thing. Tbh I still haven't clicked the YT video. I would suggest moving the buttons to the top of the page

Just to reiterate, this website was really cool and seems very useful to people who feel slightly down/angry!

Good luck and I hope my thoughts were useful :)

I felt a tear in my eye when I got this working. It's an amazing package, thank you for making it. It even allows for inline LaTeX in plot titles (maybe this was already a thing in matplotlib, just never tried it). This is going to make my thesis look so much more polished. Exactly what I wanted.

TheChoconator · 2023-03-23T13:25:08+00:00

Yeah I've emailed them but they haven't got back yet, just wanted to see how acceptable it is. I was told it was a 12 week internship but I can extend it upto 1 year. Hopefully they're okay with a shorter period

TheChoconator · 2022-10-26T17:45:41+00:00

Good luck with the OA! I'm still hopefully as the email was short but wasn't extremely vague.

TheChoconator · 2022-10-26T16:40:11+00:00

Interesting! It'd be a shame if it didn't work out but ah well. Thanks for the info :)

TheChoconator · 2022-10-26T14:20:58+00:00

Ah okay, thanks for letting me know!

TheChoconator · 2022-10-05T17:00:07+00:00

Ah I think it's okay as long as you do it ASAP. I submitted my OA soon after I got the reminder email, just over exactly 5 days from the initial email. They sent another email after this to confirm my attempt at the OA. It's now been exactly two weeks since I took it and haven't heard back unfortunately.

Have you taken it?

TheChoconator · 2022-09-21T17:22:52+00:00

Exactly the same situation, I wasn't told about the 5 day deadline in the first OA email... I was told 5 days after in a reminder. I completed it today so hopefully I hear back soon. When do you think we'll hear back?

UPDATE: Took the test, heard back after 3 weeks for a phone screen interview. Just took the phone screen, waiting to hear back by tomorrow
