@SYSTEMCRASH92 Do you have a blog or github or anything? I see you have a game up on steam but I'm not really finding much more info. Do you talk about your development efforts? It looks like you are working on interesting stuff!

@xavian Hello Michael! Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! I created it out of a personal need and will keep improving it step by step. I'm really glad you found it useful!

Public Service Announcement: Solr Exploit Seen First-Hand: Remote Code Execution via DataImportHandler (issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SO…) One of our new clients just ran afoul of this, so only publicly expose Solr services from behind a read-only proxy if needed.

@kwatters76 Oh wow that is so cool!! :) I wish I would have known about this design during my HS science fair a billion years ago! :D

The drupp neck for the #inmoov initial tests in #myrobotlab for the kinematics solver. Based on the parloma penguin wrist.

Here's the 6-axis inverse-kinematic model test which is running in real time on an 8-bit @arduino , syncing all 12 motors together to control 3 axis of translation and 3 axis of rotation. It's now time to upgrade the microcontroller to something more powerful. #Robotics #robot

I’m not surprised given default security and steps required to get authentication locked down for basic license most folks probably use for demos. There is an elasticsearch readonly rest plugin. I also advise you make sure scripts are disabled.

Hrm, not a fork and contributions submitted upstream to Elastic. Makes a more “batteries included” distro without needing a subscription license for some parts.

Well that's fascinating - Amazon launching their own open source distro of #Elasticsearch aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-… "our goal is to address many critical features missing from open source Elasticsearch, such as security, event monitoring and alerting, and SQL support."

@miles_kehoe @IntranetFocus @molnaragnes @octodude @jdavidhobbs @avirr Way to go Miles! That is impressive! I hope to follow suit! :)

@IntranetFocus @molnaragnes @octodude @jdavidhobbs @avirr Let's just say that my Fitbit has exceeded 10K steps a day over 90 of the last 100 days; and partially because of that my weight is 150 lbs, down from 225 lbs. Had to toss my entire wardrobe! Losing weight is expensive, and I can't afford to gain it back! Brain in harmony? Nope:)

Just realised that three (!) of The Search Network team are at #ESDDC. @miles_kehoe, @molnaragnes and I forgot @octodude. Sorry Helen. The latest Search Network report is on how to achieve enterprise search satisfaction. Download the report from intranetfocus.com/enterprise-sea….

@FlaxSearch @o19s @softwaredoug @dep4b @binarymax @eaphaubert Hey Charlie, congratulations! They are fortunate to have you and are a great bunch of folks to work with!

Very pleased to announce I start work for @o19s today. Looking forward to joining @softwaredoug @dep4b @binarymax @eaphaubert and others to help empower the world's best search teams!

I see how you like that Doom makes you feel badass and raise you this.

@FlaxSearch Hahahah :)

@xavian I don't think even Lucidworks can manage that :)

This. For any new client engagement, it feels way more work is required for data cleaning / discovery / etl of content than any other part, yet these topics don’t seem to get as much coverage.

@FlaxSearch We need a Mr. Fusion of search; simply throw garbage data into a reactor and get pure refined and usable data out! (DMC DeLorean and Time Travel not included. ;-P)

@xavian I commonly say 'no search engine in the world is going to give you relevant results if your content is in a mess. This isn't magic!'

@softwaredoug Agreed. We use search to reduce the scope of work needed before more expensive NLP approaches are applied, which really helps responsiveness. Our approach reminds me of backface culling, a common 3D rendering optimization.

Or is a lot of 'machine learning' really search under the hood :) Watson was 1/3 Lucene and 2/3 other searchy tech

As requested, here is the full deck from the 'Intro to Natural Language Processing' talk I gave last week. Interesting to see how things have changed since 2010 (see slides 38 & 39) #naturallanguageprocessing #nlproc isquared.wordpress.com/2019/01/22/int…

Have you submitted a talk for #HaystackConf yet? CFP closes 30th Jan! "Haystack is the conference for organizations where search, matching, and relevance really matters to the bottom line." haystackconf.com
