Yaar, elections are going on. I am just interested in UP now. Yeh drama is so lame. I detest college politics . ABVP,NSUI , JNU wale sab bakwass. I fundamentally disagree with what that chick wrote but I feel Sehwag trolling was not needed and diverted the attention to her and propelled her more. Ab it's not about if she was wrong in what she said or even her FOE now it's about rich, influential people with stan fans trolling her . Not needed.


After the first phase debacle, BJP is doing good for now, recovered a lot , fingers crossed !

Ah, Genie, you misunderstood my "challenge" :)

I was asking you to be a clairvoyant and predict now, who will win in the years 2018 (and better yet 2019) in order for you to be known as the Oracle of DM! 😆

Let me explain - if you "predict" right before the Oscars, either on the day of the Oscars or a day before the Oscars, it's not *that* creditable, in the sense, other award shows such as Golden Globes would have already happened plus one too many movie buffs too would have made their predictions by then, rendering your prediction not "distinct".

Think of it as future odds Future betting lines offer the highest straight wager payouts of all in Las Vegas.If you lock in a bet, you are good for that payout no matter what the betting line does the rest of the time up until the outcome is decided

So, for 2018, we already have 2 months of movie data, this being Feb 2017. Plus, you can find what movies are scheduled to be released this year: http://www.cinemablend.com/news/1585840/new-movie-releases-2017-movie-release-date-schedule

Predictions for 2019 is much tougher of course, but then if everyone can do it, obviously, the "payout" won't be that much.

Now you know where I was going with all that.

One major challenge we have in machine learning is to make a machine interpret what we say, semantics and all, and then make the machine react accordingly.

Is it possible what I said was in jest? Are there any clues?

Does the phrase "I don't know about you guys" imply that you guys too have fans?

So what is the more appropriate reaction from the machine? A laughter or a follow-up question?

How would you "program" it, if you are in charge?

Could the follow up question imply a genuine concern about who among the two has got more fans?
Dont know about you guys but if I m put in charge I may consider programming it that way 😆

BTW I actually find myself using pencil more often than the pen. Pens and that too with special colored ink gets used mostly for "autographs" to deter the regular forgers.

Apparently not Angie because that conversation petered off and was never taken to it's "logical conclusion".

BTW, concern?

The only appropriate responses are
a. A Like because the listener found it funny
b. A witty banter that goes for at least two rounds, and not die off after one solitary question
c. A confrontational attitude that assumes that I was actually boasting (which would of course be proven wrong because of the tone, the context and the known *fact* that I am not a celebrity)
d. Silence (as in, "yeah, I heard what you said but I have nothing to add")


Dont know about you guys but if I m put in charge I may consider programming it that way 😆

That's not how JARVIS would work though.

Well , if its one of the appropriate responses then that's it.
No JARVIS so it cant be as JARVIS would do.

Hyperloop is an interesting idea. But but but, I doubt it is financially viable in India right now.

Exit polls are out. Punjab is predictable.
Chankya predicted 285 seats for BJP in UP. Their prediction os always near the point. I hope this time too it is true.

Chankya has been usually wrong after 2014, they lucked out and I do think they just take average of all the other polls and ramp it up few percentage higher. UP will be too close to call. Very hard to predict clean win for anyone there but if BJP gets to be the single largest party then it would be huge win for Modi after demonitization.

I think they predicted AAP in Delhi correctly. Everyone else put them at 40-50 where as Chankya gave them 60+. Everyone is expecting a close call means either bahanji with BJP will be in power or their will be re election
