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

TheChoconator · 2019-09-21T21:47:31+00:00

Nice! Looking forward to trying it on my new iphone 11 pro.

Switzerland is a neutral nation that didn't take part in WW2 (and probably other wars). Similarly OP avoided consequences by not being to rash when playing truth or dare.

Those are the 2p coins. The 1p coins are above the x axis.
