HBWF = Halfbakery Weather Forecast
The halfbakery has been around for long enough to have
acquired a considerable database of
ideas/croissantcount/bone count/date of posting info.
This proposal would see the analysis of all halfbakery
postings to generate a sort of weather forecast based
on
statistical analysis of all of the data according to several
criteria.
Individual members could input some details of a
proposed idea, re timing along with a few key words,
and its prospect of success or failure could receive a
weather report.
For example: a very positive idea do with flowers and
birdsong might attract many croissants if posted on Sept
27th but on Oct 3rd, it would be boned into the bottom
of the skip. Visuals showing weather fronts looming
would warn of halfbakery troughs of depression being
anticipated, when fishbones will descend like hailstones
on just about anything posted. Warm fronts would
equally indicate that just about any posting will be
deluged with nice warm croissants. An icy blast would
show up if an idea was simply going to be completely
ignored.
Powerful tsunami type events, such as entire accounts
disappearing through deletion, would show up with
special warning symbols, based on careful AI type deep
reading of the entire postings of the halfbakery. There
have been a few of these, and the HBWF would have
detected them with its long-range weather forecast
prediction view, and they may be able to be averted in
future.

After a while this would be able to generate posts and annos, so we could all retire and spend our time sipping cocktails while the machine argues with itself on our behalf. |
