Being a doktor has less incentives now

The problem is Change

Stephen Spencer points out, n very rightly infact, that one should not provide for a direkt link to ur RSS feeds. what if yew switched services, all subskribers would have to update der subskriptions. i think the point is applikable to almost all kases. it is an old age funda of loose koupling.
anyway, if ur konvinced then yew kan find some solutions to the problem here.

Yahoo Mail Overhaul

As a direkt konsequence of its aquisition of oddPost, yahoo is going to upgrade its eMail offerings with features like drag n drop mails, RSS subskription facilities, etc.

Was it GooD for Yew ???

Bookmarks as a Measure

A link popularity method of indexing web pages is supposed to be about votes for "important" pages on the web. But there's one set of votes that this type of measurement misses, which may be an even greater measure of the importance of sites - bookmarks. Important, at least, to the people visiting those pages.

GoD. these ppl have all the good ideas. outlined here is a new patent which promises to improve search results even further

Struktured Bloggin

Kode Talking

Steve hebert provides some insight into a major problem team leaders face when koding in teams, that of kode ownership issues, and the central point of failure situation it might kreate. he then presents kode talkin n its more formal manifestation 'pair programing' s a probable solution. 'kode talkin' is an informal process through which fellow developers kan imporve there kode by diskussin the various problems they face and approaches they follow. i would be a real strong supportter of something as such, in one of the HR interviews i was asked,

given a chance what process or koncept would i like to borrow from akadamix to bring into the korportate world.

n i said

that would definitely be ko-learning

RSS still not supported widely

Stephen Spencer has an xcellant post on how the best search engines still donot support RSS search. as per his observations none of the top 4 (google, yahoo, msn, askJeeves) live upto the mark (kaching, indexing, non-linked keyword searching, etc.), mikrosoft being the furtherest down the line.

Java`s Bak

In a startling (for moi) revelation O`Reilly has revealed that java is bak on D trak. i always thought that the ease with which one can use .Net will always push it a mile forward. but fortunately coz of the likes of ajax, lucene, spring, struts, etc. java`s bak.

More Wikis

Wikis are now forging into yet another business. publikations. in a much hyped move LA Times have introduced wikis for social publishing. i must agree that without a strukture for an artikle it would be diffikult to involve people into putting there heart n souls to do the requisite for the wiki to bekome a wiki persay. wikis kan more or less do well as a subbing job (rechekin on faktual citations, spellings n stuff like that)

Never Say Never Die

Amazon`s A9 service rised in the popularity charts at a good rate coz of the innovative features offered; one of them being the 2D piks of the streets available.

Software Labor Unions

TekNewsWorld has a sexy artikle on the worlds strongest labor union. basikally the organization would konsist of linux supporters n the open source initiatives sarrounding it. in all this organization would meet three (kritikal mass, organization n power) of the four (leadership being the fourth) essential requirements of being a strong labor union. a must read.

Blogs n Social Software

as per my experience. there are 2 kinds of blogs.

1. the first are the weB-LOGS. the personal pages of hundreds n thousands of teen aged gurls updating her friends about new happenings in life.
2. the sekond n more important ones are the blogs. supposedly the veteran among the new generation of social s/ws. with korportes taking to blogging in a big way n publishing blog guidelines it is about time to start talking about blog mining. however the relevant question is whether such mining kan really do the job.

text miming has really not delivered the promised goods n i doubt the same blog mining would yield the same results.

The universal translator

teknikally, a perfekt universal translator is impossible. this is bekause of teh difference in the richness of the various different languages. having said that, here is someone bent on doing the impossible. at the google faktory tour they unvieled the google translator. auto-translation b/w various languages is undoubtedly a tough job. whats intresting is

This is the Rosetta Stone approach of translation. Let’s take a simple example: if a book is titled “Thus Spoke Zarathustra” in English, and the German title is “Also sprach Zarathustra”, the system can begin to understand that “thus spoke” can be translated with “also sprach”. (This approach would even work for metaphors – surely, Google researchers will take the longest available phrase which has high statistical matches across different works.) All it needs is someone to feed the system the two books and to teach it the two are translations from language A to language B, and the translator can create what Franz Och called a “language model.” I suspect it’s crucial that the body of text is immensely large, or else the system in its task of translating would stumble upon too many unlearned phrases. Google used the United Nations Documents to train their machine, and all in all fed 200 billion words. This is brute force AI, if you want – it works on statistical learning theory only and has not much real “understanding” of anything but patterns.

the brute AI approach had its diffikulties in finding training korpuses large enough required for kommercial quality results. but as ever(first with search, then gMail) GooGle changes the bottleneks.
