FactGraph VS Arthur

I used to have a project like this. I was going to call it FactGraph: https://github.com/FactGraph/FactGraph/wiki

My idea was to build up a big community-maintained database containing facts and evidence, where everything is linked into a huge network. Everything would have a weight (sometimes automatically calculated from parent nodes), and the software would calculate probabilities for some big questions. Every user could also build their own personalized graph to explore their own worldview, and maybe even uncover some cognitive dissonance that they weren't aware of. Or you could use it to compare and contrast different philosophies, religions. Could even calculate a "coherence score" for each religion and denomination after crunching all of the available evidence.

Then I discovered RootClaim: https://www.rootclaim.com

They're doing something very similar, with a more targeted approach where they focus on some specific questions. e.g. COVID-19: https://www.rootclaim.com/analysis/what-is-the-source-of-cov...

RootClaim really seems to be nailing it so far, and hopefully they can continue to grow and become something like the project I was imagining.

Here are three hobby projects I've worked on during the last 2 years. I've written extensive guides for all of them:

https://github.com/maxvfischer/DIY-CNC-machine A CNC-machine I built from scratch, using 40x 3d-printed parts.

https://github.com/maxvfischer/Arthur An AI art installation I built from scratch using a GAN network, Samsung The Frame, a button and a PIR-sensor.

https://github.com/maxvfischer/DIY-arcade A full-size Arcade Machine I built from scratch.

Here you have the complete electronic setup: https://github.com/maxvfischer/Arthur#electronic-components

When I set out to learn new skills, I usually try to wrap them in a project. I also try to document and open-source the whole process, both for my own learning, but to enable other to leverage my failures and learnings.

Here are the projects I've done so far:

https://github.com/maxvfischer/Arthur An AI art installation I built from scratch using a GAN network, Samsung The Frame, a button and a PIR-sensor (including, code, images and tutorial). The main draft is almost done, but quite some polishing to do.

https://github.com/maxvfischer/shibusa An automatic Zen Garden drawing infinite patterns in sand. Using stepper motors, inverse kinematics and a Raspberry Pi Zero W (including, code, images and tutorial). I'm almost done building the robot, but still have quite some implementation to do. Also, the guide is far from done, I've mostly uploaded images so far.

https://github.com/maxvfischer/DIY-arcade A full-size Arcade Machine I built from scratch (including, code, images and tutorial). I don't know where you draw the life of "half baked". It's done, but there's a lot of improvements that can be done.
