Vivienne MingGUEST
We would pull in data from people's social media.
Vivienne MingGUEST
We'd pull in data from Stack Overflow, Stack Exchange, professional Q&A sites.
Vivienne MingGUEST
We'd pull all this data in and build these models.

SeedGUEST
And so I, I had a little bit of a ba-- I took basically two classes in Java way back in like 2002 [chuckles] in college, and so I started watching Python videos on Udemy to learn like just the basics of what I needed to know.
SeedGUEST
And I, I, I bought a Raspberry Pi and a little screen and controls for it, and like this is before AI, so it, it w- it wasn't vibe coding, it was a much more painful process where you, uh, either bang your head against the wall, like with just iterating code until it works, or you go to Stack Exchange and try to get some people smarter than you to give you some pointers.
SeedGUEST
But anyhow, I, I created a very basic proof of concept that did what he had talked about, where it would let you input, you know, 23 seed words that had been selected at random, and it would give you the last word.
SeedGUEST
Uh, and then as I, I was looking at my Specter DIY that has a QR code scanner, I thought, what if we added just a simple, inexpensive camera to this Raspberry Pi setup? Like you would basically be able to do the same thing that the Specter DIY did, but at a much lower price point, 'cause I'm a cheapskate, too.
Brent OzarHOST
I have posted on there.
Brent OzarHOST
I have also posted on dba.stackexchange.com.
Brent OzarHOST
If you look at my account on dba.stackexchange.com, it's very rare.
Brent OzarHOST
I'm going to say once every five years or so, but I'll post something on there.
Brent OzarHOST
And Paul White has gotten me across the finish line once or twice with really cool stuff.
Olle LingeHOST
Normally, I don't spend that much time on online forums and question and answer sites, but there is one that I particularly like.
Olle LingeHOST
which is Chinese Language Stack Exchange.
Olle LingeHOST
And over the past few years, I've been answering questions about Chinese pronunciation there and specifically about how pinyin works and how that relates to Chinese pronunciation.
Olle LingeHOST
So in this week's episode, I will summarize nine of my answers to such questions.
Olle LingeHOST
These are summaries, so if you want the full version of both the questions and the answers, I suggest you head over to hackingchinese.com and check out the article about this.
Olle LingeHOST
And of course, you can also find links to the original questions and the original answers on Stack Exchange.
Olle LingeHOST
So without further ado, let's go to question number one, which is about the A in pinyin, so the letter A.
Olle LingeHOST
And the question pertains to the syllables, for example, ta, tan, and tang.
speaker_1HOST
You build the entire pyramid, all of numbers, algebra, calculus purely out of sets.
speaker_0HOST
But there was a critical structural flaw in naive set theory, and to understand the mechanics of that flaw, the Stack Exchange source we're looking at provides a brilliant analogy to computer programming, specifically the difference between typed and untyped languages.
speaker_1HOST
This is a really illuminating way to look at it.
speaker_0HOST
Naive set theory was essentially an untyped language.

speaker_1HOST
We will construct two completely different, equally valid, non-contradictory towers of mathematics.
speaker_1HOST
The board game allows for both realities.
speaker_0HOST
Which brings us back to that programming analogy from the Stack Exchange source we discussed earlier.
speaker_0HOST
If ZFC is this untyped language that forces us to deal with these massive unprovable blind spots and requires awkward, non-intuitive axioms to avoid paradoxes, what is the alternative? Are we just stuck with ZFC as the foundation forever?
Herman PoppleberryHOST
And even if it were code, there's a difference between what the code says and what the person who wired your house actually did.
Herman PoppleberryHOST
The DIY Stack Exchange is full of this warning.
Herman PoppleberryHOST
There's a licensed electrician on there who says vertical runs are stapled to studs on one side or the other, so just hit the middle of the stud.
Herman PoppleberryHOST
Which is good advice, if you know which side of the stud the wire is on.
Rio LongacreHOST
Tank, yeah.
Brett HouseHOST
And you've advised and invested Zillow, SurveyMonkey, Quip, StackExchange, and a whole bunch of other companies.
Brett HouseHOST
You're a Stanford grad.
Brett HouseHOST
And I think even though you're in Texas now, are you a Bay Area investor? For
Dan CorderHOST
I can wake up to this after a fight." So back to complimenting me.
JamesHOST
[laughs] To, uh, to, just to, uh, biblical hum- hum- He- hermeneutics Stack Exchange says, uh, he was described as ruddy.
JamesHOST
David was red-haired.
Dan CorderHOST
Representation.
Steve GibsonHOST
... oh, that's right, Expert Exchange.
Leo LaporteHOST
And, and Jeff Atwood, who created Stack Exchange and Stack Overflow is our regular, uh, show host.
Leo LaporteHOST
He does a show this Friday.
Leo LaporteHOST
Um, he says this himself.
Steve GibsonHOST
That's right, Experts Exchange.
