The function is "aggregate prediction probabilities." One area where the correct aggregation of prediction probabilities is life or death is in the military intelligence community. A quick search for methods used by the military to aggregate probabilities includes Philip Tetlock's use of Brier scoring and extremizing algorithms, as well as prior use of prediction markets.

This is interesting, but I might think of a specific sub industry where this particular problem is life or death to narrow your search. Perhaps fragile high tech components?

One place where someone would be out of business if they couldn't solve this harm of getting wet and freezing is wind turbines. One solution used in wind turbines is an ultrasound sensor combined with a heater: https://patents.google.com/...

This is the part of our system that turns business ideas into aggregated probabilities of success. This is then used by the user in the next stage to choose which business to test.

I'm highly interested in this line of thought. Have you done any work on it?

Thanks Leonid! Is the course being repeated any time soon? If it's being repeated in the next few weeks I'd be happy to wait, otherwise I'll just go through now - I'm doing it for the knowledge anyway not the grade.

I'm working to optimize a system for rapidly testing, creating, and scaling new Software-As-A-Service businesses. We have a basic process in place and would like to expand it with TRIZ

Hi, I'm having trouble finding the part where it describes the needs of your topic/system and what you'll be doing with it. Does this need to be an engineering system or could it for instance be a business system? How much will need to be done with it?

Google patent search can be quite effective in combination with other tools like Espacenet.

It seemed like Einstien had at least 19 inventions, and over 50 patents in various countries. Benjamin Franklin had a number of interesting patents and was quite the autodidact.

I'm having trouble imagining how the worm teleports to the middle of the stack, but somehow it starts at the 200th page and ends up at the 402nd page - so 202 pages, or 101 pieces of paper.

Task 1: Stubborn, Evolution.

Task 2. I think that innovation is invention that takes into account the constraint of market forces and reality.

One large problem with online lectures is that it's quite easy to forget what you learn, especially in the context in which it should be applied.

One solution to this would be to have "drills" which generate practice problems applied to the specific skills in a course. These drills would be continually reinforced using a spaced repetition algorithm, such that they would allow for lifetime mastery of a skill shown within a course by reinforcing the key skills.

It seems like optimization has the constraints of keeping the initial solution, and only varying the parameters of that solution. Meanwhile invention is about coming up with new solutions.

Wow, I think I did horribly on these solutions. I threw the marble two times (and got really lucky), and I put a piece of cake in the fridge.

Because the people who say what's up don't actually care, so saying anything other than nothing is breaking the implicit social contract that you won't actually have a meaningful conversation :).

Cool! I made a similar distinction a number of years ago about "recharge activities" (https://web.archive.org/web...

One thing I've found helpful is to split the centering activities into mind, body, heart, and spirit, and then figure out which area I need recharged. This helps me determien for instance whether I need dance, meditation, laughter, or something else.
