Ian McLean posted:JawnV6's comments on the election polling stuff is something that could also be done. uhh... no people were goddamn nuts about polls 1-3 weeks ago. it was seriously the focus of an entire news cycle, and you could've positioned yourself fantastically for armchair wonks who fantasize about being nate silver had you set it up then buuuuuut you didn't. why not, idk, but you didn't. the debate happened, everyone moved on from unskewed polls, and while there's a smidge of interesting polls coming out, it's basically the media being lovely and doing whatever they can to paint it as a dead heat by doing nationwide polls with RV's instead of likely voter models and hiding their crosstabs so just to reiterate, your window for doing this closed and won't be open for another 4 years. can you get it done in 4 years?

Ian McLean posted:The advertisements piece. This takes two years to build with all the specifications, and requirements for advertisers. These are also financial transactions, so it is important to make sure things are aligned correctly. This requires a built in platform for a share of advertising profits to users based on search display clicks and other wondrous algorithmic +1 indicators. Algorithm factor one: >1 click/hour by user ip address = (diminishing_return). When people start throwing machines at statpedia snycing ip numbers from all over the wolrd, perhaps by then the quantum algorithms will be able to detect those silly patterns. By then there will be some type of pattern detection software on statpedia. I will just use those neural network algorithms to scan in all the ip addresses saved to the clicks coming in, and start correcting the patterns for the machine until it learns on its own which patterns. don't you think the existing advertising industry that's chugging along just fine without statpedia thank you very much probably has rates already worked out? and maybe you could spend all this time thinking up worthless insights on solved problems and work on compelling content to get all the eyeballs that will somehow monetize much better than constantly-begging wikipedia in the first place Ian McLean posted:Yes I can have have those polling features within 4 years JawnV6. You can count on that for sure. Polling features are planned within this year.

Nomnom Cookie posted:Nah that's something to have fun spergin about. The hard part looks like building pipelines ok, so it actually works on predicated execution and you're kinda daft to club that under "branch prediction" and consistently ignoring the fact that GPU's are designed to shovel huge amounts of data around which appears 'free' during gpgpu usage, then turning around and pretending that predicated execution is rilly rilly hard while debugging a delay in a sprawling mass of connective fabric is simple gently caress's sake what do you know

Ian McLean posted:Statpedia should think about profit sharing with these back links to searches like wolfram. Wolfram displays an ad between seeing it on statpedia, and being directed to wolfram. All these individual stat companies showing their statistics on statpedia can make money. aww, starting to distance yourself already? its delusional to think someone else, literally any other soul on the planet, will give enough of a poo poo to pick up statpedia where you abandon it and carry on

I wish for the somethingwonderful forums to come out soon, perhaps I will find them. that's literally the rest of the internet facebook, google+, even ancient poo poo like xanga realized that people want to be sheltered from anything negative. the simplest thing to do is show some positive feelings ("like", +1, e-props) while the corresponding negative isn't an option. you have to register disagreement with a long-form comment and people simply won't choose to do that if all you want is a cloying mawkish hugbox for whatever you want to poo poo out, the rest of the internet is geared toward that end if you want critique, you have to accept that it might sting im pretty sure you want the cloying mawkish hugbox tho
