Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

A lot of refinement of the algorithms, a lot of data analytics, and stuff like that. I'd spend hours going over the data by hand, trying to tease out better performance/results.

After a while, I didn't really do my own programming. I paid people to do it. They were much better at it than I was. I'd just tell them the metrics and what to modify. They'd continually look for improvements as well. We'd attempt to model anything traffic related and then collect data afte the fact to see how accurate our models were and to improve them. I'd try to tease out the absolute perfect weighting value.

That's what made us so different - we'd collect data after the fact to verify our models and to improve them. That meant pouring over data sets in a way that a computer couldn't always do.

That was probably more tedious than doing the actual coding.

It was tedious, time consuming, mentally taxing, etc...

To you, it'd just look like a bunch of numbers - usually 12 to 15 columns and often 12,000 to 15,000 pages.

Once you know what you're doing, they paint a picture. You can see where there was congestion, accidents, tickets, average speed, maximum speed, lowest speed, etc... But, it's just pages and pages full of numbers.

Yeah, and if I understand you correctly, you were testing out your algorhythms by adjusting the variables and then reexamine the data to see if you were getting correct responses?
