JustHackIt

привет всем

We have a web company related in various segments and we are looking for smart and competent people that have interest to be part of us.
Feel free to contact us: layeredlink[at]linuxmail.org.

I am sick of tons of notifiers in my system tray, opening up gmail in one tab, gcal in another, twitter in another, running pidgin, remembering what files I have to edit today. I want a system for managing EVERYTHING i do on my computer in an orderly fashion so I can sit down at my computer, go through every item one at a time from beginning to end. I want to make an RSS reader that works with more than just RSS feeds. I want one list of everything that is happening in my digital life. When I get an email, it appears at the end of the list; when I get a chat request, it ends up at the end of the list; when a web site updates, it ends up at the end of the list. I want this program to be able to launch other programs with the contents of each item in the list; save the text of a website to a word document, open a chat with the URL of a post in my list. I want to be able to set up my own local streams with things like system information, or documents that need to be updated daily.

I am a CS major (junior) with some intern experience with C and low level programming (wrote a boot-loader utility). I don't have much experience with web-tool api's or ajax or anything, which I would imagine I would need to write plugins for a tool like this, and I am looking for people who would either help me, or point me in the right direction.

Alright so two things have become clear to me over the past 2 days:

1) There is a huge demand for JustHackIt.
2) I picked a bad (busy) week to launch it, and can't build it all myself.

So if anyone wants to join the team, please shoot me an email breck7@gmail.com.

As far as equity goes, I say we do a week-long trial and decide whether it's a good fit at the end of next week. In the rare event that the site is sold before then, 100% will go to charity.

Currently the site is using SlinkSet. I'm thinking to switch to something PHP or Python based so that we have more control over the features.

I have mostly built a semantic platform in Python, with me and a friend.
We have been in Techcrunch.

We get the text off the screen and let users do related stuff.
MiniBrowser shows related information for Instant Messenger users in one click. (Built, cross-platform - I use Ubuntu, but obviously most people use Win).

We have a nice business model too. We're going to turn the world on it's head. You're looking at the next Google, or at least a good acquisition target. If you'd like to use your super-powers to help out, step aboard. Also, we will be releasing an SDK shortly, and rich documentation. We want to be the Firefox of contextual-search, and semantic applications. See our OLD pitch here. Or a bunch of different mockups here.

Some things we've already coded:
We can reuse webcontent like this: getWebXpath("http://google.com/ie?q="+query, "/html/body/nobr/a/@href")

We can also reason about how inter-related given topics are:
>>> getRelatedness("infected mushroom", "mdma")
51.57%
>>> getRelatedness("luke stanley", "thoughttrail")
79.91%

The AI platform will only get more sophisticated, as people add more plug-ins to it, pretty much like they do with Firefox extensions. We are into recursive programming, actor based programming, clustering, cellular programming, and all sorts of good stuff.

We like to code using Gobby over Skype and Instant Messenger. But being based in the UK, would be a bonus. However, we will likely be moving to the Bay Area soon.

Where I live (middle of England) there are next to no hackers (who I know of anyway), so I'm a lone hacker, nobody I talk too personalty on a regular basis is anywhere near what I would call a hacker. Its really quite lonely, great ideas, silly ideas, all stuck in my head with little output.

So what would be cool is a small group of hackers with a private IRC channel (or Campfire) to throw ideas around, build stuff together and basically just talk about hacker stuff on a day to day basis.

I don't call myself an amazing hacker, but I love to learn. My main language at the moment Ruby.

So any other lone hackers out there?!

Have been working on a new type of AI for the past 3 years. hopefully will be done soon. anyone interested in the subject and its implementation into robots?

fresh idea: how about to make a small payment system designed for children. Let kids spend their dime on internet, protect them from adult sites and so on.

I am interested in applying vectoral semantics topic models (e.g. LDA) to threaded message boards (e.g. most blogs, usenet, reddit, digg, HN etc.)

Things I would like to try:

(1) classify users based on the topics of their comments and or the topics of their parent or child messages.

(2) see if any of the topics can be used to make meaningful classifications of user tastes and values (this has already been done using decision trees to estimate the demographic identity of bloggers)

(3) see if there is any "phylogenetic structure" in the topics of a message thread. Is it possible to automatically identify which topics are most likely to provoke indignant responses or which topics are most likely to provoke puns or one liners?
Models like the Kingman coalescent seem applicable.

My strategy is to approach this as a research project. I have a decent amount of experience in C++ and python for scientific / numerical applications, but my CS background is weak. I'd like to talk to a more hardcore CS person with AI / ML experience to give my work some better feedback. I would prefer to work with python or Ocaml.

This is very much a background / side project.

Hi all,
we are a web 2.0 start up that provides professional musicians a secure market place to sell their intellectual property rights on music pieces. Our business concept is unique so far (no copy cat) and we have an unfinished beta version ready. However we do not have a programmer in our team yet, but paid developers for our beta. We now look for a programmer to join our team and become a co-founder. Our team is based in Germany and we have people in Munich and Bremen. If you are a programmer with special interest in music and looking for a project to join and found a company, you might want to contact us. We look for someone who is dedicated to create something new with us and who is highly skilled in programming Java, PHP and eventually AJAX.
If someone matches these criterias and is interested in hearing more, contact us at: colin.kippenberg (at) emerigo.com
Thanks!

i have two big social networking ideas that i'm hoping to start. its not been done before and i know its something that will catch a lot of attention. i do need an experienced programmer to partner with on the myspace or facebook level.if your interested and you want to know in detail what its about then emai me at emmanueledili@yahoo.com so we can talk about these two great ideas.
