Comment on Contribution To Humanity by Amit Kumar

> Yea, that’s right. A contribution to humanity is either an aha moment, or nothing. (In technology at least. Outside of technology, of course, we expect you to make your contribution to the world around you.)

I do not agree. To illustrate lets take the example of Google. While most people probably say they invented a great search technology, I think their technology was not the first, neither the best. Earlier text based approaches (like AltaVista) were augmented with link-based approaches (HITS, page-rank) around the time of Google. I think the main things that separated Google from others is

1. a pragmatic point of view – speed is needed, search should be free, searched text should appear in the output to provide feedback, search must be fast

2. _actual_ implementation – they implemented the system and set it for use, unlike other people who were too busy/unable to implement their papers around the time

3. continued improvement over months – they continually and painstakingly scaled their approach.

Finally, other (better) approaches were later included to increase google’s search scalability.

Well, thats a good question to ask. But I guess you are being too harsh to yourself!

There are different ways to contribute to humanity and it need not always be curing cancer or world peace. I would be happy if I can bring a smile to a face every day. I am pretty sure you are doing that now, like you used to in “our” college days.

It’s good to see you write, even though I find it more abstract than Prof Amitabh Tripathy’s class :P

BTW, I saw your movie list (on your homepage) and I liked the list. May I recommend “The Motorcycle Diaries” – I am sure you’d like it (it’s somewhat connected to this post too :)

Comeau Computing’s site http://www.comeaucomputing.com/techtalk/ is probably the best quick guide to C++ you can find on net. Before I found the site, I also wrote an Introduction to C++: http://crackpot.wiki.sourceforge.net/A+Brief+Introduction+to+Cplusplus

Comment on Python Resources for Scientists, Engineers, and Statisticians by Amit

Python and open source are just cool for scientific computing. Today open source is a good way to make your research known and give and take from the community. It encourages innovation and freedom in science.
