1 * Good Ideas
|
rlm@38
|
2
|
rlm@40
|
3 - bitcoin wallet :: Part of "server culture", this would be something
|
rlm@40
|
4 like "coin.your-domain.com" which would serve as
|
rlm@40
|
5 your personal trusted access to your own bitcoins
|
rlm@40
|
6 from anywhere.
|
rlm@40
|
7
|
rlm@40
|
8 - libpay :: this would be a free library which would enable
|
rlm@40
|
9 micro-donations to software projects and other projects,
|
rlm@40
|
10 so that you could donate a panny to "emacs" and it would
|
rlm@40
|
11 be automitacally split up to every person who has ever
|
rlm@40
|
12 contributed to emacs in proportion to the amount of
|
rlm@40
|
13 community esteem, code quantity, bugs fixed, whatever the
|
rlm@40
|
14 community decides. This might make it posibe for
|
rlm@40
|
15 programmers to live entirely off of free programming.
|
rlm@40
|
16
|
rlm@41
|
17 - Browser based graphics-card accelerated distributed computing API.
|
rlm@41
|
18
|
rlm@40
|
19 - pronouns :: use capital letters A-Z instead of pronouns. They solve
|
rlm@40
|
20 pronoun referents and gender neutrality, are short to
|
rlm@40
|
21 say, and you can encode useful information into the
|
rlm@40
|
22 choice of letter. For example, instead of "Meetings
|
rlm@40
|
23 shall be presided over by the president, unless she is
|
rlm@40
|
24 absent." USE Meetings shall be presided over by the
|
rlm@40
|
25 president, unless P is absent." We already use this a
|
rlm@40
|
26 little, since I and U are reserved for the subject and
|
rlm@40
|
27 object respectively.
|
rlm@40
|
28
|
rlm@40
|
29 - phone DSP :: software app that inserts an audio DSP between the
|
rlm@40
|
30 input to a phone and the output. The DSP is delicious
|
rlm@40
|
31 and configurable, and can allow men to make their
|
rlm@40
|
32 voices deeper, etc. The app would allow you to hear
|
rlm@40
|
33 your own voice as others hear it. Most people hate how
|
rlm@40
|
34 their own voice sounds. The app would also allow one to
|
rlm@40
|
35 immediately change the paramaters of the DSP using good
|
rlm@40
|
36 presets.
|
rlm@40
|
37
|
rlm@40
|
38 - predestined body learning :: a good example of pre destined learning
|
rlm@40
|
39 might be the mirror neurons.
|
rlm@40
|
40
|
rlm@40
|
41 - resturant reciept :: use a carbon copy reciept instead of two stupid
|
rlm@40
|
42 copies.
|
rlm@40
|
43
|
rlm@41
|
44 - anti google glass :: glasses with mounted lasers and computer vision
|
rlm@41
|
45 that targets the cameras in google glass and destroy them.
|
rlm@41
|
46
|
rlm@40
|
47 - wearable towel :: towel with clasp, velcro, whatever, that allows
|
rlm@40
|
48 one to wear the towel more securely than just
|
rlm@40
|
49 wrapping it tightly and hoping for the best.
|
rlm@40
|
50
|
rlm@41
|
51 - Easiest way to disguise onself as a woman is to wear a burka.
|
rlm@41
|
52
|
rlm@40
|
53 - book-mode :: intelligent color highlighting for books and
|
rlm@40
|
54 articles. It would disambiguate pronouns and involved
|
rlm@40
|
55 references. For example, if "Rachael" as red, and "the
|
rlm@40
|
56 blonde haired girl" refers to "Rachael", then "the
|
rlm@40
|
57 blonde haired girl" would he colored red. Also, you
|
rlm@40
|
58 could disambiguate multi part runon sentences by
|
rlm@40
|
59 highlighting each subcomponent. Maybe would also have
|
rlm@40
|
60 appliations to scientific reading.
|
rlm@40
|
61
|
rlm@40
|
62 - Handheld light Rain measurement :: this would be a clear, teflon
|
rlm@40
|
63 coated plasic disk with a camera underneath the disk. You would
|
rlm@40
|
64 be able to hold the device out and it would measure the rate of
|
rlm@40
|
65 accumulation of water droplets from fine mists and light rain by
|
rlm@40
|
66 using computer vision to measure the diameters of the drops.
|
rlm@40
|
67
|
rlm@40
|
68 - Big Brother Farming :: This would be a vision system that would
|
rlm@40
|
69 individually monitor each plant and turn on water, etc to ensure
|
rlm@40
|
70 maximum/uniform growth for each plant.
|
rlm@40
|
71
|
rlm@40
|
72 - Discrete Faucet :: A faucet with discrete ticks instead of
|
rlm@40
|
73 continous.
|
rlm@40
|
74
|
rlm@40
|
75 - Laser Circle :: take a glass microfiliment and shine a laser at one
|
rlm@40
|
76 end at an oblique angle. It will make a perfect,
|
rlm@40
|
77 large circle on the wall, converting a laser beam
|
rlm@40
|
78 into a laser cone, perserving most of the energy of
|
rlm@40
|
79 the laser.
|
rlm@40
|
80
|
rlm@40
|
81 - Invisible Glass :: Take a container of liquid and embed a
|
rlm@40
|
82 glass sculpture made out of glass that has exactly the same index
|
rlm@40
|
83 of refraction and color of the liquid. Then the sculpture will be
|
rlm@40
|
84 totally invisible in the container, and will only be revealed
|
rlm@40
|
85 when the liquid is drained. The container might be a fancy
|
rlm@40
|
86 wine/spirit bottle or an hourglass.
|
rlm@40
|
87
|
rlm@40
|
88 - Caterpillar people :: A race of catepillar like creatures gains
|
rlm@40
|
89 intelligence after eons of predation by birds, etc. These
|
rlm@40
|
90 catepillar creatures still undergo metamorphosis into a large
|
rlm@40
|
91 butterfly-like creature. The metamorphosis process turns the
|
rlm@40
|
92 caterpillar's brain into mush and reforms it into a minimal,
|
rlm@40
|
93 dumb, truly insect-like mind, completely destroying the person
|
rlm@40
|
94 the catepillar was. The society develops all sorts of customs and
|
rlm@40
|
95 religious interpretations of the metamorphosis. It is viewed as
|
rlm@40
|
96 good and natural by some since it is part of their life cycle and
|
rlm@40
|
97 necessary to propogate the species, as only the butterflies can
|
rlm@40
|
98 mate. Some think that the butterflies are still the same person
|
rlm@40
|
99 because they have the same soul, even they no longer posess the
|
rlm@40
|
100 memories or personality of the original catepillar. Some see the
|
rlm@40
|
101 butterfly form as the "true form" of the species, since the
|
rlm@40
|
102 butterflies can fly, mate, and are beautiful. Many make a big
|
rlm@40
|
103 deal out of the fact that 1-2% of the catepillar's mind is
|
rlm@40
|
104 actually preserved in the butterfly. Some see it as a terrible
|
rlm@40
|
105 tradgedy and argue that the catepillars should try to stop the
|
rlm@40
|
106 metamorphosis by technology. Practically, some very important
|
rlm@40
|
107 members of society undergo hormone therapy and/or surgery to
|
rlm@40
|
108 prevent metamorphosis so that they can live longer as themselves.
|
rlm@40
|
109
|
rlm@40
|
110 This is a continuation of Marvin Minsky's ideas about pain being
|
rlm@40
|
111 something that preserves our bodies while destroying our minds,
|
rlm@40
|
112 something that is a remnant from our too harsh animal days that
|
rlm@40
|
113 hasn't caught up to the fact that we have very complex brains
|
rlm@40
|
114 now. It's a worst-case scenario about a maladaptive genetic
|
rlm@40
|
115 legacy. Also, it's inspired by "There She Is!!!", which makes a
|
rlm@40
|
116 compelling point about homosexuality by introducing a second
|
rlm@40
|
117 gender characteristic (bunny/cat, male/female), which makes
|
rlm@40
|
118 homophobia look very silly. Here, our own biological legacy of
|
rlm@40
|
119 pain and death is made to look like the tradegy it is through the
|
rlm@40
|
120 lense of the the caterpillar people.
|
rlm@40
|
121
|
rlm@40
|
122 - http://betsofbitco.in/ :: what a great place for an AI/person to
|
rlm@40
|
123 prove themselves as a good predictor. I wish this could be
|
rlm@40
|
124 automated.
|
rlm@40
|
125
|
rlm@33
|
126 - don't forget about that mirror in the student center!, it's two
|
rlm@33
|
127 mirrors at right angles, like staring at a corner of a room. The
|
rlm@33
|
128 light reflects so that it shows you what you actually look like,
|
rlm@33
|
129 instead of your mirror image.
|
rlm@33
|
130
|
rlm@33
|
131 - remote control wasp :: use computer to drive wings with remote
|
rlm@32
|
132 power/logic.
|
rlm@32
|
133
|
rlm@33
|
134 - public (distributed?) database of email->private-key pairs, to
|
rlm@33
|
135 enable automatic encryption.
|
rlm@32
|
136
|
rlm@39
|
137 - every equivalent creature will see each others' eyes as black --
|
rlm@40
|
138 it's universal. Even if the creatures see in radio waves, and their
|
rlm@39
|
139 eyes are 2m long pieces of jagged metal, when those creatures look
|
rlm@39
|
140 at each other, they will see black, the absence of light and color
|
rlm@32
|
141 (since it's being absorbed by the sensor array).
|
rlm@32
|
142
|
rlm@33
|
143 - intelligent microwave :: it learns where the hot nodes of its fields
|
rlm@32
|
144 are, and uses them to evenly heat any food item. It has an infared
|
rlm@32
|
145 camera or something to keep track of how hot the food is. That way,
|
rlm@32
|
146 you don't get bowls where the edges are boiling, while the center is
|
rlm@32
|
147 still frozen. Requires a little bit of intelligence/vision, since
|
rlm@32
|
148 the exact pattern of heating totally depends on the exact shape of
|
rlm@32
|
149 the food. Wouldn't need a carasouel, and wouldn't need a timer,
|
rlm@32
|
150 just a desired temperature. Could also detect ice, and automotically
|
rlm@32
|
151 defrost the parts which are frozen. Might be able to work much
|
rlm@32
|
152 faster since it can aviod overheating; might have problems with
|
rlm@32
|
153 heating the insides of thick things, might need a weight sensor too.
|
rlm@32
|
154
|
rlm@39
|
155 + Would be much cleaner than other microwaves, since food would
|
rlm@39
|
156 "sputter" and splash liquid much less.
|
rlm@32
|
157
|
rlm@39
|
158 + Throw in some SIFT+R processing to match previously cooked foods
|
rlm@39
|
159 and learn the exact heating profiles for things that have been
|
rlm@39
|
160 cooked before -- it can get faster the more its used.
|
rlm@32
|
161
|
rlm@33
|
162 - brain-aware image compression algorithm
|
rlm@32
|
163
|
rlm@33
|
164 - Credit card proxy - would be a company which works like paypal
|
rlm@33
|
165 except for real world transactions
|
rlm@32
|
166
|
rlm@33
|
167 - Flesh pillow :: a pillow like the arm or torso of a human, complete
|
rlm@33
|
168 with simulated temperature, bones, and heartbeat.
|
rlm@33
|
169
|
rlm@33
|
170 - super screw :: a screw which has only one or two threads and intead
|
rlm@33
|
171 uses compresion to fit into a hole (the whole shank
|
rlm@33
|
172 of the screw is split into multiple pieces to
|
rlm@33
|
173 accomplish this; the tip is a point, then the middle
|
rlm@33
|
174 bulges out and gets compressed when screwed in.
|
rlm@33
|
175
|
rlm@33
|
176 - light filter :: (like light tweezers) to mechanically seperate
|
rlm@33
|
177 fluids with different index of refraction
|
rlm@33
|
178
|
rlm@33
|
179 - chalk eraser project :: maybe make a directional eraser, for easy
|
rlm@33
|
180 release of chalk dust, like fur, and how it likes to rest in a
|
rlm@33
|
181 certain direction.
|
rlm@33
|
182
|
rlm@34
|
183 - silver socks
|
rlm@32
|
184
|
rlm@34
|
185 - UROP: magnet gear/metal teeth tape device to distill urine through
|
rlm@34
|
186 evaporation and easily dispose of urea crystals for use in desert --
|
rlm@34
|
187 produce drinkable water.
|
rlm@32
|
188
|
rlm@34
|
189 - UROP: Make the LED in line with the flow for the microinjector, so
|
rlm@34
|
190 that it may transmit maximum flow. Motor that changes distance of
|
rlm@34
|
191 internal magnet from windings depending on desired speed so as to
|
rlm@34
|
192 obtain maximum power efficiency.
|
rlm@32
|
193
|
rlm@34
|
194 - web scraper which monitors various lottries, looking for "special"
|
rlm@34
|
195 gimmick changes in the rules (like 4x winnings on Wednesdays) and
|
rlm@34
|
196 computes expected value...
|
rlm@34
|
197
|
rlm@34
|
198 - Memristiors novel design :: make an evolutionary algorithm to make
|
rlm@34
|
199 old stuff using all four basic circuit elements.
|
rlm@34
|
200
|
rlm@34
|
201 - Conductive concrete
|
rlm@34
|
202
|
rlm@34
|
203 - little bitty melting pot
|
rlm@34
|
204
|
rlm@34
|
205 - power strip/timer programmable combination
|
rlm@34
|
206
|
rlm@34
|
207 - algorthms which learn what their inputs are and in what order, and
|
rlm@34
|
208 can adapt to changing circumstances -- they remember previous
|
rlm@34
|
209 arguments and adapt so as to respond to different connections.
|
rlm@34
|
210
|
rlm@34
|
211 - hear a true pure tone by direct stimultion of the nerves of the ear
|
rlm@34
|
212 mechanical analogue to the electrical op-amp
|
rlm@34
|
213
|
rlm@34
|
214 - paper folding device :: make it convienent to fold lots of papers in
|
rlm@34
|
215 various ways.
|
rlm@34
|
216
|
rlm@34
|
217 - concrete epoxy :: epoxy with sand/ some other solid material.
|
rlm@34
|
218
|
rlm@34
|
219 - suspend some ball of material with a high index of refraction and
|
rlm@34
|
220 shine light into it so it gets stuck -- would the light stay trapped
|
rlm@34
|
221 forever? Could you build up unlimited quantities of light inside the
|
rlm@34
|
222 sphere (which could then be released slowly by frustrated internal
|
rlm@34
|
223 reflection?
|
rlm@34
|
224
|
rlm@40
|
225 - movie screening :: Movies always are too long at first. One way to
|
rlm@34
|
226 shorten them ``scientifically" is to record blink rate during the
|
rlm@34
|
227 move and then remove / shorten the frames of the parts in which
|
rlm@34
|
228 there are a lot of blinking (average this over multiple people)
|
rlm@34
|
229 better yet, put it online and do it across thousands of people. I
|
rlm@34
|
230 got this from youtube in which there is an episode of kill bill
|
rlm@34
|
231 whih is composed entirely of the parts in whihc opeople had their
|
rlm@34
|
232 eyes closed. slogan: want to make a movie people can't take their
|
rlm@34
|
233 eyes off of? Just take those parts out!
|
rlm@34
|
234
|
rlm@35
|
235 - capture reading of a scientific atricle via screen capture while
|
rlm@35
|
236 people read it, then use it to make the article better. like the
|
rlm@35
|
237 movie-pruning idea.
|
rlm@35
|
238
|
rlm@35
|
239 - super reading program that teaches people the ideal mental mask to
|
rlm@35
|
240 apply during reading so as to read very fast.
|
rlm@35
|
241
|
rlm@34
|
242 - explosive thermite epoxy putty (one part would contain the rust, one
|
rlm@34
|
243 part the alumimum)
|
rlm@34
|
244
|
rlm@35
|
245 - use the above screen capture routine to make a quiz program tha
|
rlm@35
|
246 constructs questions about the content you seemed to gloss over
|
rlm@35
|
247 while reading. could be easy if the pdf came with embedded
|
rlm@35
|
248 questions. Dylan: automatically generate word-cloud about the parts
|
rlm@35
|
249 you found most interesting; help others who read the same stuff by
|
rlm@35
|
250 drawing attention to the interesting parts.
|
rlm@34
|
251
|
rlm@35
|
252 - make a samurai sword, but use osmiridum instead of martensite for
|
rlm@35
|
253 the cutting part; it should be a better sword.
|
rlm@32
|
254
|
rlm@35
|
255 - use the induction technology used to recharge electric toothbrushes
|
rlm@35
|
256 with no metal links to send data -- without any metal at all!
|
rlm@32
|
257
|
rlm@35
|
258 - reading is a form of synsethesia
|
rlm@32
|
259
|
rlm@35
|
260 - A machine which translates the text eg, "ACTGAC" into actual DNA
|
rlm@32
|
261
|
rlm@35
|
262 - ferro-fluid magnetic field suspended micro generator to make
|
rlm@35
|
263 electricity
|
rlm@32
|
264
|
rlm@35
|
265 - alcohol/fluid flow powered battery
|
rlm@32
|
266
|
rlm@35
|
267 - folding razor blade sword
|
rlm@32
|
268
|
rlm@35
|
269 - learn perfect pitch using another sense in combination (sight or
|
rlm@35
|
270 touch)
|
rlm@32
|
271
|
rlm@35
|
272 - kaleidoscope projector
|
rlm@32
|
273
|
rlm@35
|
274 - razor blade de-sharpener (for guilt free disposal)
|
rlm@32
|
275
|
rlm@35
|
276 - bricks filled with luminescent plant material
|
rlm@32
|
277
|
rlm@35
|
278 - metal grids with seeds inside, which grow together and form a
|
rlm@35
|
279 durable biological matrix. The metal substrate delivers
|
rlm@35
|
280 water. (maybe use plastic instead of metal?) Dylan: enrich plants
|
rlm@35
|
281 with inorganic compounds; electrical interfaces in cellular plant
|
rlm@35
|
282 matter => remote-controlled photosynthetic/bioluminescent
|
rlm@35
|
283 structures.
|
rlm@32
|
284
|
rlm@35
|
285 - conducting extracellular matrix
|
rlm@32
|
286
|
rlm@35
|
287 - cross-modal memory hashing
|
rlm@32
|
288
|
rlm@35
|
289 - flossing thimble-gaurds
|
rlm@32
|
290
|
rlm@35
|
291 - integrate lattice learning with rules by generating hypothetical
|
rlm@35
|
292 examples
|
rlm@32
|
293
|
rlm@35
|
294 - wooden refridgerator to give food a better taste Dylan: like barrels
|
rlm@35
|
295 for wine, or planks for salmon. Maybe just have "flavor planks" for
|
rlm@35
|
296 your pre-existing fridge. Need to mitigate effect of temperature on
|
rlm@35
|
297 volatility?
|
rlm@32
|
298
|
rlm@35
|
299 - radioactive transmutation molecule by molecule :: create precious
|
rlm@35
|
300 metals or something else economically advantageous.
|
rlm@32
|
301

rlm@36
|
346 unaccessable. maybe this is why we can't remember
|
rlm@36
|
347 much from our childhoods. also, could this happen

rlm@40
|
388 better business by letting people go instead of keeping them around

rlm@40
|
390 alumni network, which for relationships would be a group of
|
rlm@40
|
391 satisfied ex-lovers, who would recommend new people your way, and
|
rlm@40
|
392 who might consider coming to you again, refreshed from their time
|
rlm@40
|
393 away with new stories/experiences. I should look for examples of
