Maybe it is just me, but a RMSE of.9430 is not better than a RMSE of.9419
It looks like everyone has just ignored the fact that netflix engine gave different scores for each section...
And I will say it again:
Hollywood, the MPAA, and anyone else that was fighting this in court is doing it for one reason. There is a DVD sold, that is fine. Then you get another one that they are not getting paid for. There is no way that they are going to accept this. It doesn't matter if there is a trade, the new one must be a copied version. So they see two copies here and only one being paid for, I bet if you offered to pay for two in order to get the edited version there might not be a problem here.
Creative uses of our own content. If I own the DVD can't I cut out the parts that I don't want? Or pay someone to do it for me? Oh wait, no it is censorship... Can't... pick... a... side...
Anyway, the directors let this happen on TV, but here they only get paid once for the movie, so there is no way they are going to be for it.
>I mean, what would LOTR be without the sweeping views of the New Zealand countryside, or the huge, detailed shots of giant armies?
Umm... a really good book?
I don't know, shouldn't the parent be modded funny? How do you complain about the originality of Lucasarts games and then ask for sequels?
I really have no problem with originality in the Star Wars universe. The problem is not Star Wars, the problem is that there are so few new game ideas that we keep getting the same ones with different packaging.
Not that Grand Theft X-Wing won't be a cool game though...
The thing is why bother inventing a new search engine when that is not the problem you want to solve? I think that Google has a great search engine, but the way that we get results pretty much sucks. Why in the world should I just get a list of the billions of pages that matched my search. In fact if I were to create a company like this I would want to license someone else's search engine, since it would probably be cheaper than developing my own, take less time, and probably give better results than mine.
The idea here is that we have additional useful information about the pages. In particular we know (through some sort of NLP that I will ignore) that their are clusters of documents that are related in your search. It makes a lot of sense to tell the user what kind of additional refinement to their search can help them narrow in on what they really want.
I guess that is what you mean by "thinking instead of you". But I think one of the major goals of computers is to do just that. If not then we should go back to doing all our math by hand and manually typesetting our documents on our printing presses. But just as that seems a bit absurd (unless you happen to be a Luddite of some variety), it seems absurd to dismiss other worthwhile things a computer can do, such as clustering documents.

Whoops I guess I didn't read it either... Oh well I guess everyone else can stop now ;)
