I was excited to see this, but I found that the interviewer spent too much time talking. I got too frustrated and stopped listening. I want to hear what Cook has to say, and the interviewer is only there to facilitate that.
I'd encourage the interviewer to go back over the audio, and measure the amount of time he's talking vs. the amount of time that John Cook is talking. If it's greater than 20% or so, then that's a problem.
- Radim 10y agoDuly noted! In the first episode, I got feedback that people wanted to hear more from me. Perhaps I went too much in the opposite direction here. Converging, slowly :) Btw the aim is 50/50 -- these are not meant to be "interviews".
- JabavuAdams 10y agoInteresting. You're right in that it's not an interview -- my terminology was misleading.
- p1esk 10y agoI'd rather hear more from the creator of Gensim. Has John D. Cook built anything impressive?
- aangjie 10y agoUmm.. I have nothing against gensim or the author, but aren't you assuming that JDC hasn't. He has been working in consulting and probably under a lot of NDA contract clauses and has not been able to publish? I don't know his work, just like his blog.
- doug1001 10y agowell his blog, which he has continuously published on for (at least) the last five years, is certainly impressive. His posts are practical-minded but also evidence a deep knowledge of the subject matter. The ones on applied probability theory, for instance, are of very high quality. (i don't know John personally, nor any affiliation with him)
- ouid 10y agoIf you already have a specific aim for a ratio of you talking to the subject talking, why do you take feedback?
