People are really good at stuff.
I noticed on a bar TV the other day that some of the Chromecast screensaver landscape photo credits were to Peter Norvig. They were really lovely pictures.
- SwellJoe 2mo agoI've run into Peter Norvig twice. Once at a YC event; the other when I parked my motorhome in front of his house in Palo Alto for a couple of days while visiting a friend who happened to live on the same street (not on purpose, I didn't know it was his house, it was just where I found sufficient open street parking for a huge motorhome, big houses with fewer cars on the street than on my friend's block). I ran into him while walking my dog, he asked about the motorhome and we talked travel. He was lovely both times. Not everyone is nice about a big motorhome parking on their block, especially in California, but he was friendly.
- mrbonner 2mo agoI have had 2 encounters with Dr Norvig, all online. One, I randomly reach out for him to get a referral to a hiring manager at Google. He gave me a couple of email leads. Two, I emailed ask him about a writing piece regarding fuzzy logic and why it was not popular in the US academic landscape. I got a very long, specific and detail response back. I need to print that email out and frame it lol.
