That's weird I was just sharing this today with reference to LLMs.

Btw Shannon also invented wearable computers. He did it to cheat at roulette.

Re:A Kaggle for Materials? on Saturday December 18, 2021 @05:29AM (#29603421)
This is an idea I had for ages. But no one seems to have made it yet. So I am probably missing something.

If you can point out why this wouldn't work. Or what materials/quality it would work well on I would appreciate it.

Re:Can you split equity with the Shapley value? on Tuesday August 20, 2013 @12:05PM (#6244541)
I wrote this article and a quick calculator to divide shared costs. But assuming you just measure amount owed by time spent in a startup the calculator could be used to price contributions.

If you could calculate how much individual alliances are worth it becomes closer to a full Shapley value calculation but how would this be done?

This is very alpha at the moment and I would appreciate any comments on how to improve the app.

This is my app. It is just a toy at the moment but if anyone has a problem it is near fixing let me know and I can turn it into something useful
Fair point. I will write up a proper description.

The main site is about dividing up goods. Lawyers do it and might pay for it.

This app is about dividing up bads (tasks). It was meant to be a toy but something about the problem is sticking in my craw as something more serious.

I have to put in documentation and a good explanation. But I just wanted to see if any managers thought the tool might be useful.

The problem it is trying to solve is to minimise the amount of work people think they are doing by allocating jobs to people who want them most.

All the jobs would be 100% of the work. Each employee puts in what % of the total each job would be for them. The system optimizes so that each employee has the same perceived effort and that perceived effort is minimized. There are some obvious UX fixes that need to be made but I would be interested to hear what you think of the problem/solution idea?

Re:Show HN: My tool to divide up stuff between two people on Thursday March 28, 2013 @09:41AM (#5454676)
We've just launched this tool to help people fairly divide stuff between them. It uses linear programming to calculate the maximin allocation. This is the allocation that gives the worst off person as much as possible.

I have a use case describing a divorce example use case [here](http://fairandsquare.ie/products/example.html). I would love to hear any comments or questions you have.
