all im replying to is the first point, you have already made up your mind on my personality and i dont want/care to change that
>BC bandh kar. I have relatives who are low level jawans and I and every other Desi knows what you meant.
bro the only time i said in my blog that my dad was in the army is when i was talking about the police call... the guy who called the police on me told me point blank he was doing it to scare me, and it's like man i've been raised in an army household, I am not going to be scared just cos someone mentions the police to me. In the call with the police I had a normal dialogue with him, and the police guy was actually really nice.
also youre really really misinterpreting what "connections" I have, my dads an army officer, not a fucking local thug politician...
btw i just wanna say that you seem to care too much about connections and shit, I dont give a fuck about this at all. cos im going to be the best in the world, and when you're the best in the world, you dont need connections...
and for the rest, i guess we'll see what I can make from the opportunities I have earned. since u have my and my dads linkedin and every other thing about me anyways, try to keep up as you witness greatness.
i mean india isnt a country without freedom of speech.
and for the name, yeah that was a mistake. i just thought itd be cool that people at uni knew i made this site, like i guess i like notoriety. never expected this to be such a big deal
At this site, you can get a "mathematical" rating of your face based on a bunch of detailed calculations. And also there's a public leaderboard.
I had originally made this just as a joke, but soon it became semi viral at IIT Delhi. Over 1500 people have already used it. In every classroom and all the clubs, everyone talking about doimog, people were rating their faces and then the leaderboard was the most interesting thing. All the kids wanted to check out where their friends ranked etc.
a bunch of people who got high ratings posted it on their Instagram Story, some people trolled their friends for getting low ratings. Some people sent me angry messages cos of their low rating lol
A few kids uploaded their prof's photo and showed the prof their rating which was kinda embarissing for me in the lecture lol.
This was just a really fun social experiment, what i realised is that things like facemash are always gonna be popular lmao
sure, the algo basically is i calculate a bunch of objective details about your face (like angle for canthal tilt, distance ratios for mouth etc) , you can see these measurements in the overlaid images you get when you rate yourself. then according to the research online, i try to give a single score according to these measurements, for example, a positive canthal tilt is conventionally looked as more attractive. similarly less error in rule of fifths is seen as better or a specific face ratio as 0.42 is looked as the best, so i assign your mesasruemtns a specific single score according to this research. and then i combine these using some weights to get a final rating.
yeah feels like the facemash moment for my uni lmao
i do think people sort of accepted the ratings cos
1) a lot of people with really high ratings were posting it on their instagram story
2) a lot of people tried to upload a lot of photos to try to get a higher rating
3) some people dm'd me sad messages like why do i have such a low rating haha
honestly the leaderboard was the most interesting part of the project for me. like people looking at their friends, the people near them who have similar rating etc. was the coolest part. if i allowed people to not post it publicly, most wont, and that would ruin the appeal of the site
i think the main problem is, i only rate their face structures, cos thats the thing you can explicitly calculate; but obviously that's not all there is to how good you look.
also btw one of my friend, whos near the top read your comment and sent it to me with a crying emoji haha
yeah i mean i kind of realised that you cant really rate faces based on a bunch of mathematical params and expect it to still be very accurate; but maybe my opinion of attractiveness is skewed
lol no one has hacked the website, those are the real ratings for those photos from my algo. people have found "bad" faces that get good ratings but maybe they're js not that bad haha
nono, i had only added like 10 images... i give people the option to add an instagram account but if they don't it defaults to the do_i_mog instagram account which is why most of the entries seem to come from do_i_mog
hahaha yeah you mog
but for the first part; yeah it does take into account the angle, expression stuff, and like at first i was not ok with that but then i realised thats fine. cos like obv photos affect how attractive you look to a very high degree, like in some photos you may look like a 10/10 and in some you may look like at 5. so it should reflect that.
I made this site where you upload a photo of your face and it ranks your face on a bunch of measurable parameters , and then gives you a final rating based on how close your features are to the ideal face. There is also a public leaderboard.
This went kind of viral at my uni when i launched it, like over a 1000 people have gotten their ratings and people seem so exicted to see where there friends rank etc. curious to see what y'all think
@jmadeano, i just wanna say this is the most inspiring post ive seen on HN, ever.
The idea, execution and also your responses in the comments about just wanting to build cool stuff without really caring about the other stuff reminded me of why i started this journey, to have fun and build cool shit.
This is genuinely soo inspiring man…
lets gooo work, i really hope you win man
lmao too much glaze but wtv y’all deserve it
