And what is the point of all this? I find it amuzing when some dandruff covered geek explains this to me and then I point them to a video of Jimi Hendrix. I don't know what Jimi would have scored on the Stanford-Binet, but the man was a g

Ha ha, that's a funny one... Seriously, provoking people with that word only stirs the pot some more. It doesn't make the world a better place friend.

Ugggg. One of the things I really don't like about the Internet are the ugly threads that tear up years of progress toward an inclusive/pluralistic society... I find even the title of this thread offensive... Sure I am a white male without

What's in it for me? I am interested in technology and opportunity. Personalities of the digital culture kind of bore me. It sounds like a waste of time.

Who is Aaron Schwartz? Really I don't know. But now I guess I have to look around and find out. Thanks for letting me know that I should know something about this celebrity, lest I come off like a bumpkin. Actually screw it. I am lazy and n

I am 40 and I love it. What does that say about me?

My wife and I have watched the trailer several times and we love it. Two of our friends are also excited about it. I don't know how you will distribute it, but remember that you have four customers willing to pay kronor here in northern Swe

What is the advantage of your language? The easiest way to present your language is to motivate it. What is wrong with SQL that you are fixing? If you say, "cleaner syntax", then good luck. Don't forget the history. Codd wanted Alpha, but

Yes that hits pretty close to home I must say... Here comes the depressive cycle again, LOL!

I know, I know. And the mediocre academics take mediocre graduate students and the whole thing repeats... thank god a lot of the undergraduate students are wise enough to recognize lame professors. The best students have fun making these fr

I would agree about the quality of publications and the pin heads who evaluate us simply by the number. It's really very stupid. On the point of teaching however I am a bit more optimistic ... in Sweden at least. I am fairly impressed with

I like scientific and business posts. I also like the posts where people talk about specific problems their start-ups are facing. But I really don't want to hear discussions of politics and religion, especially when they degrade into flame

So I was finally invited into Powerlabs and I had a look around. Actually I was mildly impressed. I have seen a lot of attempts at question answering and it seems like PowerSet is somewhat beyond state-of-the-art. The big questions I have a

What bothers me about Pell's blog entry is that he acts as if Powerset has already accomplished something and that this is just some type of fine-tuned adjustment. Giving a bunch of private demos and keeping the community waiting while hyp

No thanks. Who needs yet another programming language, when they have LISP? Ruby may be hot for several years, but LISP is forever.

I played with a fair number of them back in the 90's. ObjectStore, GemStone, etc. I think these systems really only make sense in the telecommunications, CAD, etc. niches where performance is critical. That said, the new trend in DB system

Yes but he could pay you... These guys evidently don't have a pot to pee in. No pay means no track record.

by anaphoric 19y ago
Yes, but if that were the case you would expect that they could raise money to actually pay someone... These guys sound like greedy B-school type clowns. I bet the idea is pretty silly too. Probably something that is technically impossible.

Sorry, this hard to follow. In one or two sentences, what exactly is your complaint?

Yes, but as someone who has lived in Sweden for 7 years, I can tell you that these taxes benefit Swedish society. Also the corporate tax rate is reasonable and you don't need to purchase private health insurance for employees. Also in gener

Somehow these modes were turned off and the student had one eye closed and was counting parentheses. Not fun for him.

It's a silly/simple comment. but I just have to make it. Not long ago I noticed a student writing their first LISP program using vim. I don't know why, but the editor was not indicating ballanced parentheses. I was horrified and got this s

I have heard the Semantic web story since 1998. And I am very, very skeptical. Description logics (e.g. OWL) have been a solution in search of a problem since the 1980's. Really 99% of the effort on the semantic web goes into 'building' vap

Coming soon... I promise. The actual idea is simple. Natural language as you correctly point out is beyond any clean/perfect theory. Besides it's constantly changing. An admin needs to constantly patch an NLI system to achieve high recall

And this is why techniques for rapid authoring of NLIs are so crucial. And why the approach should not be based on idealizations of languages, but rather on ad hoc phrasal patterns.

Yes, I have used English Query and its pretty bad. But when I tried it out several years ago I knew we could make something a lot better. So we did. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWio8bHq4wQ http://www.anaphoric.com
