Keepin’ static like wool fabric since 2006. At 4:30 pm by danvk. This past fall, my group launched. A new feature on Google Search that we call “Fact Comparisons”. It triggers for many numeric fact queries, for example distance from the sun to mars. The idea is that, by showing you answers to related questions (“how far is jupiter from the sun? If you click on one of the related images, you’ll launch into a Carousel filled with related facts:. A few other fun ones:. Pete Sampras Grand Slams.

Keepin’ static like wool fabric since 2006. At 11:26 am by danvk. As you may remember from a previous post. I’ve been doing some work with a collection of old images. The first problem was to write a program to find the individual photos in images like these:. This is easy for humans, but hard for a machine! For my photo detection project, the golden data might look like this. A little bit of usability work here can go a long way. For this project, I built a simple web tool using my localturk. Service...

Keepin’ static like wool fabric since 2006. At 2:35 pm by danvk. While working on Puzzle. My crossword application for Google Hangouts, I couldn’t help but notice what a colossal pain it was to develop against the Hangouts API. It has a few things going against it:. Testing your changes requires pushing them to a remote HTTPS server. Your application is buried in a ton of. S, which makes the JS console harder to use. Since opening a hangout requires exclusive access to your camera). Dan across the web.

Keepin’ static like wool fabric since 2006. At 8:57 am by danvk. A few months ago my group at work launched the Statistics Knowledge Panel, which shows you an interactive chart when you search for a public data statistic on Google. The feature uses query refinements to anticipate other statistics you might be interested in (e.g. “population india” → “population china”). These put the original statistic into context. We got a shout out from Amit Singhal. At Google I/O when we launched! Dan across the web.

Wrote a computer program to search for counterexamples. Norvig’s program was written in Python and run on a 400 MHz processor. I have access to a recent 64-bit AMD CPU with lots of RAM, so I decided to update his program and see how far I could push the threshhold. And the exponents ( max pow. In this case, I used max base = max pow = 1000.

It lets you answer questions like “how big is Greenland, really? 8221; or “how large would Alaska be if it were in the contiguous US?

Recurse Center, 2014-08-28. All good things must come to an end, and so did our batch! We got our Hacker School t-shirts, and had a super fun picnic at Prospect Park. Recurse Center, 2014-08-27. I spent the whole of yesterday just working on the LED-bot. Spent some time cleaning up meta-stuff about the project, making it a real package, adding a setup.py, added LICENSE and AUTHOR files, etc. I found it really frustrating that there's no good/standard way to remove duplication of information between pip's.
