This is superb. I just showed it to my 5 year old son who enjoys Lego and has already taken some great photos, including one or two of his toys. So now he has the seed of the idea that, in time, he could take multiple stills and put them together to make moving pictures. Thank you very much for posting it and giving me and him that opportunity. Maybe, he might use FriendFeed one day too!

Could It Be? Spooky Experiments That 'See' The Future - http://www.npr.org/blogs...
Ellie K, Riris Andrea, Parth Awasthi and 59 other people liked this
"One of the most respected, senior and widely published professors of psychology, Daryl Bem of Cornell, has just published an article that suggests that people — ordinary people — can be altered by experiences they haven't had yet. Time, he suggests, is leaking. The Future has slipped, unannounced, into the Present. And he thinks he can prove it."
- Paul Buchheit
from Bookmarklet
If you read the original paper, Bem has a simple test to select for people who get a 57% (on average) hit rate on the photo prediction test.
- Private Sanjeev
What's the test?
- Paul Buchheit
You should know already....
- Roberto Bonini
Rebuttal from the point of view of statistical methodology. (PDF link) http://www.ruudwetzels.com/article... But I'd like to see more about this in a few months or a year, after more people attempt to reproduce Bem's results.
- Tudor Bosman
How much do you agree with the following two statements: 1. I am easily bored? 2. I often enjoy seeing movies I've seen before.
- Private Sanjeev
So people who are easily bored but enjoy rewatching movies are most able to predict photos?
- Paul Buchheit
I read an article a while back in New Scientist that theorised that Quantum Entanglement may be heavily involved in DNA. And further theorised that it may be in use throughout the body including the brain. Hence quantum physics weirdness, including time paradoxes, showing up in psychological processes is a natural extension of that theory.
- Roberto Bonini
The latter question was reversed scored: so people who "are easily bored" and "do not enjoy re-watching movies" predicted the erotic pictures better.
- Keith Coleman
Also, regarding the stimuli-oriented group: "The difference between their erotic and nonerotic hit rates was itself significant with 71% of participants achieving higher hit rates on erotic trials than on nonerotic trials. Their psi scores on nonerotic trials did not exceed chance."
- Keith Coleman
I guess James Randi needs to comment.
- Sue - Friendfeed is best
Suezanne: Read the PDF link I posted. The guidelines for Randi's $1M prize follow those indicated in that paper for confirmatory studies, which Bem's studies are not. Randi would be unfazed.
- Tudor Bosman
They're doing it wrong, you need to do the confirmatory studies *before* you do the exploratory ones. :)
- Private Sanjeev
I like to think of the evolutionary advantage of this kind of power :) (which explains why it works only for erotic images)
- Paul Buchheit
I bet they could boost the hit rate by replacing the images with, uh, something more stimulating :)
- Paul Buchheit
They actually did. The original photo set was not sufficiently explicit to stimulate male subjects, so they had to go out on the internet to get better material. I had a crazy idea to turk this and make a high frequency trading algo out of it. YC startup idea? Just make sure Randi is not in the room or you'll lose money.
- Private Sanjeev
Does a roulette wheel that displays erotic pictures to winners differ in performance from one that doesn't?

For (Ex-)Googlers: Daryl is Jeremy Bem's father.
- Simon
Paul, Tudor's PDF does discuss the evolutionary advantage. Page 5: "Note that precognition conveys a considerable evolutionary advantage (Bem, in press), and one might therefore assume that natural selection would have lead to a world filled with powerful psychics (i.e., people or animals with precognition, clairvoyance, psychokineses, etc.). This is not the case, however (see also...
more...
- Stephen Mack
Obviously there's a tradeoff. Precognition makes it easier to get sex (which I assume is what it's for given the need for stimulating images), but causes bordom, which must be some kind of disadvantage.
- Paul Buchheit
And, in fact, it must be the case that practically all reproducing males who have ever existed had this ability. "My boy," he said, "you are descended from a long line of determined, resourceful, microscopic tadpoles -- champions every one." (_Galápagos_, by Kurt Vonnegut)
- Stephen Mack
I think I'll go and predict some porn now. :)
- Morton Fox
I think that what happens is that those with the psi abilities use it to seek out porn rather than reproducing, thus negating any evolutionary advantage it may impart.
- Gabe
Simon: whoa, that's quite interesting.
- Ruchira S. Datta
Heidegger said roughly the same thing, also Binswanger did some great existential psychology around time issues. It turns out that the future is highly determining of the present. I tracked down some early Nietzsche with just this sort of speculation during my undergrad degree.

"The most important flaws in the Bem experiments, discussed below in detail, are the following: (1) confusion between exploratory and confirmatory studies; (2) insufficient attention to the fact that the probability of the data given the hypothesis does not equal the probability of the hypothesis given the data (i.e., the fallacy of the transposed conditional); (3) application of a test...

Following on from Jan, principles are important but, given that the ones you pick might actually be misguided or flawed in some way, it's probably also important to know when to modify them based on enough evidence to the contrary.

Excellent pictures - how long did it take you to scan the photographs into Photoshop and then edit them? The only pencil that has come into contact with these "drawings" is the Photoshop pencil. A tip - stop trying to fool people into thinking you are a "real" artist, because all you are doing is cheapening proper artist's works whom have spent hours creating real pictures as opposed to a few minutes on a graphics editing package.

The myth about them being drawings was debunked long ago.

- Michael Fidler
The people you refer do don't join "just to slam" someone, they are concerned members of the online art community that want to see real art appreciated and fake art or photos being passed off as drawings revealed for what they really are. Artists such as Brian Duey, Armin Mersmann, Paul Lung, Zindy Nielsen,and many others do not receive the appreciation they deserve because of scams like this.
- canadianmaple09
canadianmaple09, the worthiness of your motives notwithstanding (and they are worthy, definitely) you could definitely have approached Michael completely differently by say, giving him the benefit of the doubt rather than attacking in a highly accusatory tone.
- Chieze Okoye
When you've seen these same pictures posted multiple times by people that just find them on the internet and claim they are pencil drawings, when it has already been established on multiple occasions that they are not, the "benefit of the doubt" approach seems a little too generous. People post these images and claim they're drawings to get views for their own site or blog or page or whatever it is they post it on. It's wrong and it needs to be stopped.
- canadianmaple09
I can understand that, but you should also keep in mind that everyone is not as well-versed in the issue as you are. All I'm saying is that you would probably be more effective in this case if you weren't setting this up as a us-vs.-them, "must destroy with the validity my argument!" attitude when talking to a guy who's been actively having a discussion on the issue in what seems to me (having been around when he first posted the images and the follow up thread and what not) to be good faith.
- Chieze Okoye
Look at his first comment here. People clearly thought he drew them. He doesn't set the record straight. He also claims that they "are actually pencil drawings" and that "I have more drawings too." Later he claims that you need to look at them closer to see they are drawings and that he will "post the originals". Once again, this makes it sound like they are his. This follows the same...

I would probably qualify as an image analysis expert, but there's no way to prove that online. One thing we can do is look at color. Even though the images are black and white,they're actually RGB images, meaning they contain cyan magenta and yellow. If you look at the image of the rhino you have posted then look at the photo of the rhino at the photographer's site you can see they both...

- Janet-The Bottley Crue
Very inspirational. The guy has done amazing things, and I definitely get the message - right up until he starts in with the evangelism. Is it just possible he could have achieved the same things on his own - or with a support system that didn't carry the Jesus branding?
- Auntie Buttinsky Botts
Hi Mary, a heavy duty topic worthy of it's own thread, IMO http://is.gd/g3Ik
- michael silverton
Mary, I don't think it is a matter of Jesus "branding", it is his testimony, it is a genuine explanation of how he's been able to overcome his circumstances. I don't think Nick would be the man he is today if he would have "done it on his own"

- Carl
Kelly, I suspect you're right. Especially since he's a preacher's kid. And I really do get that it can take a huge spiritual foundation to overcome big obstacles. But just once I'd like to see an inspirational story that doesn't turn out to be a lead-in to a Christianity message. Are we - as a culture - as Americans under the First Amendment - saying that nobody can overcome great obstacles who is not a Christian?
- Auntie Buttinsky Botts
Let's see some examples of great inspiration from the secular world - or the other religious and spiritual traditions. For instance - Stephen Hawking has lived decades longer than anyone with ALS normally would.
- Auntie Buttinsky Botts
Mary, Please rewatch this video, no where was this pushing a Christian message. I heard God, witnessing God. I believe this was more a faith in God, which is not exclusive to Christians. :)
- Janet-The Bottley Crue
True. I made the mistake of watching a second video. And - the language in the first video is the lexicon of the Christian brand: witnessing, faith, God's plan. Witnessing and the idea of God's plan for a person or a community don't exist in, for example, Judaism, and the concept of faith in Judaism is rather nebulous, at least in the Reform tradition.

Prediction: Social game mechanics are like a disease to which people will soon become immune. The reason: Nobody is impressed by your score.

Reputation can have value if it applies to something that could potentially impress someone you care about.
- Paul Buchheit
It's still a huge hype, however.
- Özkan Altuner
from Android
Social Game Mechanics are only good if Reputation System or other Incentive System is tied in, either your score/ rank or whatever badge/ tag has a real value of being cared about, or it's other sort of incentives like deals/ benefits that you earn with virtual credit/ currency you managed to score.

Are you talking about something like Farmville? If so, women people don't play that to score points. They play it to have fun and socialize.
- Gabe
People will seek out tribes where a score in their preferred medium is a mark of distinction and provides the desired social plumage. At that point it doesn't matter if those outside the group are indifferent or derisive, it could even been a positive and will act as group unifying force. The Making More Money Game is the primary example of such social game mechanics.
- Todd Hoff
I generally see reputation about being a bigger part of something else. Like social search, etc.
- Space Cowboy
isn't Friendfeed a very clever game Paul? The Game of Stream or Stream Game.
- Thomas Power
That all depends on which set of "social game mechanics" you're talking about. I'd say that the mechanics for, say, Foursquare work quite well. And you don't have to "impress". It's enough to be able to "inform".
- Otto
Brands surely must embed themselves in the game as they have always. Business has always been a game. Social Media just made it faster, more cunning and funnier.
- Thomas Power
Hacker News karma is a form of game mechanics. Twitter visibility on follower/following/lists? Game mechanics. If we "become immune" to these things, what do we return to? Bulletin boards? Wiki pages?
- Hutch Carpenter
Hutch: We just move on to the next game, whatever that might be.
- Gabe
I don't know about that. Status-seeking is such a deeply ingrained drive. Higher reasoning such as "in *actuality*, nobody will be impressed by your score" may not apply.
- Ruchira S. Datta
Gabe - right. There will always be a better game, won't there?
- Hutch Carpenter
Ruchira - I agree. To assume we get over game mechanics is to assume a fundamental rewiring of humans.
- Hutch Carpenter
I'm not exactly sure the reason is right, but I think game mechanics does run a course. Having been a gamer in the *early* days, you get deep into a game it loses something as you continue. And when you jump to the next new game the time to burnout got shorter until I didn't even want the new game.
- AJ Kohn
I'm not saying that status-seeking goes away, but actually the opposite -- most of these games give "rewards" that don't confer and real status ("nobody is impressed"). Things like Twitter follower counts clearly _do_ matter to people. The success of your FarmVille farm? Less clear.
- Paul Buchheit
I don't have a fully informed position on this prediction. But in my experience, smart people are often wrong when they make a prediction of the form, "The world will soon wise up about X."
- Bruce Lewis
from fftogo
It has nothing to do with "wising up" Bruce. It's more like a disease that burns itself out.
- Paul Buchheit
I think it's a good way of getting users involved quickly, and provides instant gratification which will keep users coming back ie farmville but if you don't have any legit features and reasons to continue using the site or game then users will eventually stop using it... That's why I prefer Brightkite over foursquare
- Wesley Robin Guerrero
from iPod
your farm in farmville might not impress alot of people but if you are top10 in the starcraft 2 platinum league then that matters to me and to quite alot of other people. i think your just a little bit too old paul :D (twitter follower count is something i dont give a damn about,..thanks to all these scammers and seo experts that ruin the value of such numbers)

Gaming the game (game theory) explains the burn out. The system acquires friction and dilution by combatting the gaming of the rules. (the rules are no game)

"How much do you love riding? Probably not as much as this guy did. David Morales Colon, 22, was shot to death April 22 in Puerto Rico. For his wake, Colon was embalmed and mounted on his Honda CBR600F4i with full Repsol colors. The work was performed by the Marin Funeral Home in San Juan, which also made headlines two years ago for presenting the embalmed body of Angel Luis “Pedrito” Pantojas Medina standing up in the corner for his own funeral. Colon will be displayed on his Honda until his burial, scheduled for later this afternoon. As for the bike, it was reportedly a gift from his uncle and brought by his family to the funeral home for the wake. There’s no word on what will happen to the motorcycle after the funeral, but for now, ride on, David, ride on."

this is simply amazing. It shows the fact that google is great place to work at and developed (at least was so until not long ago). There are so many ex-googlers which out there which opened up their own startups and funded few more.

"The fact they'd meet in a neutral place like this implies, although does not prove, they chose a public place for its neutrality. Or they just wanted coffee and inevitably started talking shop, albeit in public. But since when do billionaires have to step out for coffee? The only thing that adds up is that neither felt comfortable meeting at each other's HQs, and this is the start of talks that will inevitably be tense for both sides. I'd assume the coffee was not poisoned. And that they did not go somewhere to wrestle."

I like how it looks like a 'sit down' mafioso-style.
- Akiva
I also feel kind of guilty that I had to look up who Eric Schmidt actually was.
- Akiva
I like the overheard comments... "Let's go discuss this somewhere more private". Then two shots. Silence.
- Louis Gray
Oh Akiva. Keep that internal. We believe you know all.
- Louis Gray
Yeah, I pretty much just assumed that Schmidt was from Google.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
isn't he that Novell guy? I wonder how Novell's is doing these days.....
- Jeff (Team マクダジ )
Louis, maybe I'm just throwing people off. I'm crafty!
- Akiva
I found out who Schmidt was a couple of days ago when I read that Jobs screamed at him and felt betrayed because of Android.
- MiniMage, enterRUPPted
So absolutely staged.
- Ken Sheppardson
Aww, Cristo deleted his comment but I know what he said!
- Akiva
He said something about how awesome we all are.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
In other news: Jobs' wearing black socks with those white shoes looks so odd to me.
- Stephen Mack
Socks to pants, shoes to belt, Stephen. :)

Steve to John Ive in about an hour: "Leave the gun. Take the cannoli."

I love Calafia Cafe, good pick guys!
- Georgia
They definitely wanted to be seen together. The tension between them risks the luster of both companies, so showing that there's some sort of personal relationship still there helps with this. Calafia is the 'place to be seen' and it worked pretty well.
- Kevin Fox
I'm not sure I'd call Calafia "neutral ground", though.
- Ben Darnell
Palo Alto is "South Bay", Cristo? Hm...
- Ken Sheppardson
Yeah, I guess for me it's Oregon Expressway/Page Mill. I consider that up to 380 'Penninsula'. You forgot Bucks, BTW
- Ken Sheppardson
Somebody needs to write an Android FriendFeed app for Kevin.

What the picture doesn't show is Bill Gates slumping at the next table, longingly gazing in their direction :-)
- Todd Hoff
That's not Schmidt. That's Robert Scoble in costume.
- Dawn
I wonder if they got frozen yogurt after.
- Ken Sheppardson
Or at least a Jamba.
- Kevin Fox
I was going to make a crack: "That can't really be Steve! He doesn't have an iPad with him!" And then I saw it in its black case, sitting on the table.
- Kevin Fox
Calafia rocks.
- τorƍue
Hey Louis - you have to stop stalking those guys with your spy camera. They are going to catch on.
- Martha
Martha, it was not me, but if I had seen them, I would have said hi and shook hands. I'm rude like that. The one time I did meet Steve (at the Palo Alto Apple Store) I asked him an iPod support question.
- Louis Gray
the link to the body language analysis based on 2 images is just so much bullsh*t
- Iphigenie
Kevin: apparently, it's a menu, not an iPad: "Update: No, it's not an iPad. It's a menu. Tipster says the first thing he looked for was an iPad, and that isn't it."
- Simon
My analysis is that Steve has big feet.
- Dawn
and the whole bit about being "outside" as a message... LOL to that. As if they wouldnt have been spotted and photographed "inside?". Perhaps it was just a nice day, spring coming, lets get a coffee outside the endless meeting room...

Why not bring FF to the Facebook homepage? (public content plz) Without login, as the homepage.
- Jay
Congrats ans condolences in equal measure Paul :)
- Roberto Bonini
Why condolences Roberto?
- Paul Buchheit
Not mine yet.
- Morton Fox
Everyone is saying FF is dead. :) I sure hope not, but just in case :)
- Roberto Bonini
For Paul, I assume there is an incredible amount of self-satisfaction. Buzz has really brought the FriendFeed experience to a new audience, regardless of its name. Thanks for all your contributions, Paul.
- Louis Gray
I really like Buzz, very cool... glad to see Google release something that integrates a ton of their existing portfolio of products together! Buzz is truly a game changer... wow
- Susan Beebe
Flattered at least Paul?
- Christopher Galtenberg
+100 Louis!
- Susan Beebe
Buzz totally copied FriendFeed LOL :D
- Susan Beebe
We'll see :D
- Özkan Altuner
Friendfeed should live on.
- Ashish
+1 Louis
- Jay
Maybe we should all agree to just go use Buzz, let them shut down FriendFeed, and Paul, Bret, et al can concentrate on Facebook... ;-)
- Ken Sheppardson
It must be bittersweet. Well put, Louis. Well put.
- Akiva
I've had a FriendFeed gadget in my Gmail left column for ages ;)
- Tinfoil 2.0
+1 Louis. Gmail, FriendFeed, Facebook.. Amazing job and ideas, Paul!
- Thierry R. Andriamirado
@Fatih, it's a joke
- Özkan Altuner
Three times and it's true.
- aldenoneil
I guess I care more about ideas than specific instantiations. Hopefully they'll make the ui more like FriendFeed though :)
- Paul Buchheit
Paul - I hope so too!
- Susan Beebe
I agree with Paul.
- Akiva
Agree Paul - current UX a tad clunky.
- Hutch Carpenter
I want a FriendFeed in *my* Gmail ;(
- Rah-PM 2012
Buzz even captures the Friendfeed comments and displays em in Gmail. whoa.
- chrisofspades
Facebook(Gmail(Friendfeed(YoDawg())))
- Micah
Rahsheen, be sure to reload Gmail -- it doesn't show up automatically (or at least it didn't for me).
- Paul Buchheit
Buzz is being rolled out slowly, over the next few days for the "non social media elite" (yes, sorry, it's true)
- Christopher Galtenberg
You gotta be kidding me. I was the FIRST person Robert followed on Cliqset. I'm a social media god!
- Akiva
chrisofspades, how are you getting Friendfeed into Buzz?
- Kenton
Not in mine, yet.
- DGentry
Kenton, it just showed up as one of the sites I could connect. maybe because I have my friendfeed connected to my Google profile?
- chrisofspades
Yeah, I just noticed that that is how it picks those sites. I've added FF to my profile and I'll see if it comes through.
- Kenton
Akiva - LOL :D
- Susan Beebe
I WANT a FF in my gmail. How do I get it?
- Claudia Petrilli
i can use it on phone, but not on PC. LAME
- Jeff (Team マクダジ )
I was watching the announcement with my brother and I kept saying "just like Friendfeed", "just like Friendfeed", "just like Friendfeed" ...
- Alejandro
STILL not showing up in mine!!! It does show up on my iPhone. I've been playing with it for the past hour, but really wish I could see in in a real web browser on a real computer!
- Jeff P. Henderson
Jeff same problem here. Very frustrating!
- BRҰANSAҰS
its like Pauls child FF reunion with its elder brother gmail :)
- sirishkumar
Very funny post, Paul!
- Michael Fidler
Not quite FriendFeed but close. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Paul, one thing that I am sure to miss on Buzz is, not being able to see all the awesome Googler's and Xoogler's feeds that I see here on Friendfeed. I wish there is someway Buzz remedies this. Really bummed about this. :(
- Space Cowboy
Paul, same feeling here, but now that I see buzz map in iPhone/web app, that's pretty cool stuff.
- Orlando Pozo
Paul, we need something like buzz map for friendfeed ;).
- Orlando Pozo
Paul, Gbuzz privacy settings really suck, even blocking and reporting people as spammers don't work :S
- Orlando Pozo

Paul, did you know Google was working on Buzz when you sold FriendFeed?
- Richard Cunningham
I love how friendfeed, with all of the love and effort that all of us have vested in it, gets to keep on reaching new places, even if it's not *exactly* FF. Nice one.
