Just open sourced Society Speaks to encourage more nuanced discussion. If its of interest please do get involved. You can try the live version at https://societyspeaks.io/
hi, I made this. Yep I use Pol.is under the hood along with some other things. More to come. I'm happy to help. Looking at perhaps open-sourcing this. @gohandizo on twitter
SocietySpeaks (https://societyspeaks.io) combines opinion clustering algorithms with geographic context to facilitate better public discourse. Currently hosting discussions on healthcare, technology, climate, and social policy.
All Active Discussions:
Healthcare:
Flask/Python backend with PostgreSQL
Opinion clustering API integration
Location-aware discussion filtering
Tailwind CSS for responsive design
Replit infrastructure
Pol.is
Key features:
Real-time opinion cluster visualization
Geographic scope filtering (city/country/global)
Topic-based categorization
Cross-referencing between related discussions
Consensus highlighting across viewpoints
The platform integrates research from collective intelligence and deliberative democracy fields, with particular focus on how geographic context influences consensus-building.
Current technical focus:
Scaling clustering for larger datasets
Geographic verification without compromising privacy
Cross-topic relationship mapping
Automated moderation systems
Looking for feedback on how i can improve it and make it as useful as possible. Its currently just me and entirely bootstrapped.
potentially very dumb question but could you build hydro power solutions(from the ice melt/run off) that you then get clean power from / help cool ice...? So out of my depth here but genuinely curious. Also appreciate building a hydro power plant on a very unstable platform (ice) is problematic just curious of other solutions to generate hydro power...
Serious question: what things/science/technology should you work on that can impact this and compound positively over time (outside of just changing your own personal habits, but not to say you shouldn’t do this as well)?
serious question: what things should you work on that can have the greatest impact and compound positively (I.e go beyond changing just your personal habits)?
but hopefully coming down considerably. Watch this youtube vide of Tony Seba https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2b3ttqYDwF0 (Stanford University futurist Tony Seba spent the last decades studying technological disruptions. He argues that the Electric Vehicle, battery storage, and solar power, along with autonomous vehicles, are a perfect example of a 10x exponential process which will wipe )
Is there a way to get radio on your iPhone? Could you "jailbreak" it? I'm in the UK (EE is the carrier) and missed the Wimbledon final due to being on a train, it would have been great to have radio...
Reid Hoffman interviewed Marissa Mayer for his blitzscaling lectures at Stanford and she gives some insights into her mobile strategy and why she made these acquisitions. In short and paraphrasing massively Yahoo had a tiny team dedicated to mobile and she wanted to change this fast. Full interview here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NS9mzbgI_qk
