original title: Aspects of life consideration
A computer program that prompts you for an opinion on a
random subject.
Topics could be cleaning, pensions, how to defeather a
chicken,
how often to shower, how to start a company, how to
implement
an app, how to be a millionaire, how to be
a business owner.
You can answer through a set of pre-specified answers such
as:
> I don't want to see this
> I want more of this
> I agree with this
> I disagree with this
> I want to _do_ this.
> I have expertise on this.
Everyone's answers forms part of a web lkike a mesh of
answers of
likes and dislikes. Agreements and disagreements. People
who
like the same things are matched up so you find things closer
to
what you like.
Think of it as Wikipedia's Random article on steroids, except
you can actually action on the data you have seen.
"I want to do this" takes you through to another system which
is
about carrying out some activity. (See Life subscriptions, All
Smiles)

Georg Cantor has suggested some important questions which
this system can't answer, notably, "What if we don't like the
direction in which this system us taking us?" |
|
| |
And how do you go about it? Enumerating all the possible images that a
computer screen or your eyes will ever make out, is trivial with a simple
loop to loop over all leters and their combinations. Yet, not practical. |
|
| |
Mindey, you can use Wikipedia as a source for topics. |
|
| |
How does this system handle Curry's paradox ? |
|
| |
That's not a paradox. The sentence is not true. |
|
| |
// "A computer program programmed with every possible question of
life" |
|
| |
EVERY POSSIBLE QUESTION OF LIFE? Do you realize what you just
said? Don't annoy me. From combinatorial perspective, this sounds like
a
nightmare. Given all possible Qs, your optimizer will crash digging all
possible computational universes. |
|
| |
Suggestion: stop using unconstrained universal quantification. If you
use
universal quantification, specify the sets carefully, think what's
pragmatic. Make titles feel like
actual things, not some fleeting thought, that you just had, -- be creative
in
naming things. |
|
| |
Halfbakery is not a trashcan for your fleeting thoughts... |

// "this is the HB, where you lovingly craft a tiny little nugget of (what
you believe to be) original thought, and offer it up for annotation like a
master chef throwing an hors dourve into a sackful of hyenas." |
|
| |
-- lostdog, explaining how this place works. |

//You can answer through a set of pre-specified answers// |

//Everyone's answers forms part of a web lkike a mesh of

|
| |
//People who like the same things are

|

algorithm. |
|

//so you find things closer to what you like// |
|
| |
Pretty baked, online advertising does this to target adverts
& some search engines use it to refine searches. |
|
| |
They just
use cookies instead of an overt
questionnaire. |
|
| |
There's no system like this today. I cannot go to a website and
be exposed to some thing and asked for my view on it. |
|
| |
I removed every possible to make Mindey happy. |
|
| |
//There's no system like this today// |
|
| |
Perhaps not an overt one no, they use cookies rather than a
questionnaire but qualitatively it's much the same
thing. |
|
| |
Think of it as guided web browsing |
|
| |
Ah yes, perfect for your Telescreen. Even the Inner Party need to be told what to think at times ... |
|
| |
Possibly has some value for those who don't want to accept
cookies, though that's perhaps a bit niche in today's world. |
|
| |
Did anyone remember StumbleUpon? |
|
| |
It's a bit like that idea but more interactive. |
|
| |
They couldn't monetize it, I guess that's why they became
mix.com....and it's terrible now. |
|
| |
Never heard of it, but Google has <link> |
|
| |
What people believe and what is true are sadly
sometimes not the same. |
