PDA View Full Version : idea for a simple program May 4th, 2007, 10:34 PM well everyone says the only way to learn programming is to write some programs, so this thread is for giving ideas for simple programs that could be written by some with only basic knowledge could write. raja May 4th, 2007, 11:24 PM I guess it is difficult for anyone to suggest something unless we know how much programming you know now, what language you are learning (or intend to learn, etc). May 4th, 2007, 11:39 PM I was hoping for an pretty much any idea that could be done as a command line program in multiple languages, I personally mostly know c++. seamless May 4th, 2007, 11:46 PM A good project is to write your own versions of command like cp, mv, ls and so on. Also if you have a lot of pictures or music write something that will give you the meta info out of them and or help you to organize them. You could also try your hand at some client server programming. An echo server and client isn't all that hard. If you're just looking to learn then just look at what has already been done and make your own version of it. slavik May 5th, 2007, 12:35 AM

It is possible for sets of data to be perfectly correlated, with a linear correlation co-efficient of 1, although this is very rare. Sets of data can also be correlated in a non-linear fashion such as in the form of a binomial or other polynomial function.

68. Mind Hacks: Cognitive Dissonance Reduction Wouldn t it be nice if you could completely reduce the explanation to Bayesian math? ;). http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/monty_hall_problem http://www.mindhacks.com/blog/2007/12/cognitive_dissonance.html

Blog Book Links Main December 17, 2007 Cognitive dissonance reduction: Following on from my earlier post about the way psychologists look at the world , let me tell you a story which I think illustrates very well the tendency academic psychologists have for reductionism. It's a story about a recent paper on the phenomenon of cognitive dissonance, and about a discussion of that paper by a group of psychologists that I was lucky enough to be part of. Cognitive Dissonance is a term which describes an uncomfortable feeling we experience when our actions and beliefs are contradictory. For example, we might believe that we are environmentally conscious and responsible citizen, but might take the action of flying to Spain for the weekend. Our beliefs about ourselves seem to be in contradiction with our actions. Leon Festinger, who proposed dissonance theory, suggested that in situations like this we are motivated to reduce dissonance by adjusting our beliefs to be in line with our actions. Obviously after-the-event it is a little too late to adjust our actions, so our beliefs are the only remaining point of movement. In the flying to Spain example you might be motivated by cognitive dissonance to change what you believe about flying: maybe you come to believe that flying isn't actually that bad for the environment, or that focussing on personal choices isn't the best way to understand environmental problems, or you could even go all the way and decide that you're not an environmentally responsible person.

69. Overcoming Bias: Bad Balance Bias As an aside, are you familiar with this problem? http//en.wikipedia. org/wiki/monty_hall_problem. I am, yes. It managed to keep me quite puzzled for a http://www.overcomingbias.com/2007/07/bad-balance-bia.html

Overcoming Bias Main July 22, 2007 Bad Balance Bias Balance in life is good. You need to work, relax, have fun, try new things, continue old things, have sex, do sport, play games, sleep. The balanced lifestyle is the ideal, and we all know this. Problems start when we extend this idea of balance beyond our personal lives. We deal with political and charitable choices as if balance was a virtue. It’s bad enough for governments – they are expected to fund highways, trains, buses and subways, to subsidise clean energy, petrol exploration and energy efficiency, pay money for the opera, for theatre, for sport, for museums and for films. At least in the government’s case the sums involved are so huge that they change the marginal value of these various activities, making this balance obsession possibly acceptable. But personal charity is the worst. People will give money to combat hunger in Africa, to help the victims of the Tsunami, to educate the under-privileged, to combat global warming and malaria. Since most donations are small, there must be one charity whose marginal value is the highest; rationality implies we should give all our cash to that one. Not only is this not the case, but people seem to prefer to spread their donations around. “You can’t just do one thing” is the reaction I get when questioning this. Yes you can, for charitable giving, and you should.

71. ConservativeHome's Platform: Graeme Archer: Untesting Times http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/monty_hall_problem. Posted by Graeme Archer December 11, 2006 at 1918. I have been meandering on the fringe of politics a http://conservativehome.blogs.com/platform/2006/12/graeme_archer_u.html

ConservativeHome's Platform Main Graeme Archer: Untesting times Graeme Archer, Hackney activist and ConservativeHome regular, has his own blog Look, I’m not about to go off on one about “dumbing down” in general, or launch a tirade about the pitfalls of popular culture. I’m not an opera buff and I’ve never been the ballet. Though we did go and see Don Giovanni a few months ago. (If you ask me, three hours is a long time to sit and wait for the bit where the Devil appears and yells “Don GioVANNi” towards the end, quite the best bit.) But there’s something very wrong happening in the world of light entertainment, something which I think is getting close to abuse. Maybe it’s the statistician in me (what a coy way of putting it, why is it so hard just to come out with? My name is Graeme Archer and I AM a STATISTICIAN. There). There’s a quiz show on in the early evenings on Channel Five called “The Grid” which appals me; and “Deal or No Deal” isn’t just an irritating vehicle to herald the Return of the Edmunds, it’s symptomatic of something rotten, a festering nexus at the heart of our culture, where poverty of education finds its manifestation through trick-playing on the public. The set up of The Grid is a high-tech studio where “players” stand in front of a large cube, each face of which contains (the same) grid of I think 25 squares i.e. 5 rows and 5 columns. The three-dimensional aspect of this set up is quite irrelevant to what occurs on the programme, part and parcel of the con-trick which then takes place, a con-trick which can only happen because the participants are either unaware of what they’re doing, or are willing to suspend their belief in anything rational for the sake of appearing on television.

Result: draw (ignore the claim that the humans won, the truth is that the sum across all days was close enough to zero that it should count as a draw). From commentary on the match, it's clear that at least on some days the computer was playing a straight-up nash equilibrium approximation, which means that it was assuming a perfect opponent and only taking advantage of flat-out opponent errors. With just a little bit of intelligence on opponent modeling, it would be vastly better. My prediction: next match, the humans are toast. Then the interesting game will move from limit to pot limit, where top humans will still have a big advantage for a while. Link Leave a comment Fri, Sep. 14th, 2007 02:13 pm (UTC) agthorr I don't think it's possible to have statistically significant results after only 4,000 hands unless one of the players is REALLY bad. The 95% confidence interval for a typical good player after 4,000 hands is in the vicinity of +/- 0.05 BB/hand and I would expect the better player in a man vs machine match-up to be ahead by maybe 0.02 BB/hand.

It sounds like this: You have eight balls all of the same size. Seven of them weigh the same, and one of them weighs slightly more. How can you find the ball that is heavier by using a balance and only two weighings? Now you have twelve balls, and one of them is either heavier or lighter than others. Your task is to design a strategy to determine which is the odd ball and whether it is heavier or lighter than the others in as few uses of the balance as possible. Reasoning the same way as before, we can conclude that in this case you need only one more weighing. See: now we have 24 possible states of the world (12 balls in question and odd ball can be heavier or lighter). Thus, two weighings are obviously not enough. But three weighings give us 3 * 3 * 3 = 27 conceivable outcomes. Now try to find the optimal strategy! This entry was written by Mikhail Naganov and posted on December 15, 2007 at 9:05 pm

Stumbling and Mumbling An extremist, not a fanatic Main January 09, 2007 Risk aversion on Deal or No Deal Given a choice between £44,000 for sure and a 50-50 chance of either £3,000 or £250,000, which would you choose? On Deal or No Deal, Laura Pearce chose the gamble , and won £250,000. A few observations: 1. Even people who are quite risk averse or loss averse might have made Laura's choice. The expected value of the gamble is £126,500, which is far above the certain £44,000. Laura's gamble seems consistent with the average behaviour on Deal or No Deal described here. Perhaps the Banker made Laura a low offer, figuring that the possible loss to the programme of £250,000 would be recouped by good publicity. 2. However, Laura's choice is inconsistent with the simplest utility function which generates risk aversion - the log wealth function. She's less risk-averse than this suggests. 3. Laura doesn't seem regret-averse . Many would take the £44,000, for fear of kicking themselves for losing £41,000 if we'd gambled and got only £3,000. 4. Laura's choice seems - at the empirical level only - to rescue expected utility theory from the complaint made against it by Rabin and Thaler

Next Post: Game Theory – Monty Hall Paradox Friday, February 22nd, 2008 10:08 pm Written by: MC Hammer's Cardboard Box The Monty Hall paradox is a famous problem in the field of game theory and probability for which the best strategy of the player is counter intuitive. The problem statement is as follows: You are on a game show and in front of you are three doors. You know that there are goats behind two of the doors and there is a new car behind the third door (the assumption is that you would prefer the car over a goat). You are asked to pick a door and you will win whatever is behind it. After you pick your door, the host, who knows how the prizes are positioned, will always open one of the doors that you did not pick to reveal one of the goats. He then offers you a choice to either keep your current door or to switch to the remaining door that is unopened. What do you do? If this is your first time hearing this problem, you might convince yourself that it does not matter whether a switch is made. Clearly, there is 1/3 probability that I pick the door with the car behind it. After the host opens a door with a goat behind it, there are only two doors left unopened. Since we have no further information about the two unopened doors, it follows that the probability of the door I picked having a car behind it has been conditioned to 1/2. Thus it would not make a difference if I switched doors.
