Here are my thoughts about smaller devices; Win Phone8 missed the boat. It should have been merged in with RT from the start so there wouldn't be three different development targets. It would have been so cool if my Lumia 920 could access and run all the same apps as my Surface. It also would have made the idea of a mini surface a no-brainer. As an outsider it clearly seems like you're working towards a unified platform and I think that's the right direction but you're not there yet. And until you are I don't think phone sized or near phone sized rt devices makes sense. What I *really* want is a RT Phone, not a phone sized Surface RT.

 

Spent a long weekend on the Oregon coast. Weather was perfect.

 

Also, just catching up from last week, don't change what's working. I think the setup with Paul being remote works much better than I thought it would at first. The show is still great in fact. Adding a question at the end was a nice idea, so keep doing that. The heart of the show is really pretty simple so I don't think there's much that needs improving. It's really just witty & informative banter around a handful of current MS related topics. Adding anything more risks overdoing it imo. Keep up the good work!

Loving GamerLoop, sweet job mate!

 

A 7" tablet could be interesting but I'd prefer an RT tablet with a digitizer as that seems to be the only thing missing. Don't want the size/expensive of a full Surface Pro to get pen, a low powered ARM with a digitizer and long battery would be fantastic.

 

LOL @lfoy @ 17:40 Smiley

 

For Valentines day, we had a nice dinner at home and watched a Rom-Com ... then ... well the rest is up to your imagination.

Welcome back Paul! Big Smile

Valentines day? That day Reddit was flooded with posts of that? Studying and reading some books I just got on C++ Smiley

Anyways, why didn't I come up with this idea after last episode? You guys should give us some more insight into what's going on at the Redmond campus like do some small intervju with some people (outside the studio where they actually work) about what they think about this and that which just happened, etc. It would probably require some more time spending on the program, but I'm sure it would be great!

Is it based on the number of people who have unlocked it against the number of people who have played the game? Similar to TrueAchievements ?

In a nutshell: Easy = casual gamers, Normal = mid-core gamers, Hard = generally only hard-core gamers. These values can change as Gamerloop gathers more info about a game or the algorithms get tweaked (the end goal is to provide useful recommendations to people).

who's that guy? And where's that head in the rectangle?

I didn't understand this at first... now that Laura explained it to me, I find this hilarious.

One reason I chose to tackle gaming was that there's a ton of structured data that hasn't been leveraged well. A lot of the stats and probability models that power Gamerloop could be extended to other industries. There's a ton of stuff coming down the pipe, but the way I think about things is in terms of data derivatives (1st order = achievements, 2nd order = difficulty / completion rates, 3rd order = sequence/need inference, 4th order = matching based on need, 5th order = coming soon...).
