The source code from the tutorial is available at https://github.com/pplonski/my_ml_service

This tutorial shows how to create web service in Python and Django to serve multiple Machine Learning models. It is different (more advanced) from most of the tutorials available on the internet:

- it keeps information about many ML models in the web service. There can be several ML models available at the same endpoint with different versions. What is more, there can be many endpoint addresses defined.

- it stores information about requests sent to the ML models, this can be used later for model testing and audit.

- it has tests included for ML code and server code.

- it can run A/B tests between different versions of ML models.

That's what they've been telling people, yes. Honestly, it seems rather over the top legalism.

I understand the point about the danger of using mobile devices while driving a moving vehicle. But, what exactly is the danger of using one when you are stationary, especially if you have been pulled over by a police officer? It is a law without a rational justification, and laws lacking rational justification are harmful.

> Further, I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do if my home value doubles just because of natural reasons… On an individual level there isn’t too much I can do.… Maybe I sell my home to a developer who turns it into a mall or a 5 story apartment building.… And if I can’t afford it you force me out of my house, away from friends and family?

I think what you said is somewhat contradictory. You said you don’t know what you could do if your land value were to increase, but then you list a couple good things that you could do (develop an apartment or sell the house), as well as a couple illiberal policies you would pursue (immigration restrictions or limits on children). I would add that you could rent out a bedroom or build a modest extension to rent out. And I think it is contradictory to say that you could build an apartment and be displaced; it is exactly apartments that would prevent you and your neighbors from being displaced.

> By the way, we don’t seem to have much of a problem with prices decreasing, even if that causes a larger financial impact (if you buy a home for $300,000 and policies out of your voting control cause you to lose value, you’re just screwed with no recourse).

I agree! This is actually another reason to want higher property taxes. In places like the Bay Area where the land value is so high, buying a house is a very big bet that the high values will be maintained. If taxes on land were higher, then the price would be lower and the government instead of individual homeowners would bear more of the risks.

> but as a homeowner in the Great Lakes Region, I feel more sympathy toward other home owners than some here may do.

And how do you feel about tenants, who face the same problems but worse?

What is the right level of privilege that owners should have above renters and future buyers? The property tax allows society to tune the amount of privilege that owners have over renters and future buyers. If the tax rate were 0% (allodial ownership), landlords would have a great degree of privilege over their serfs. At the other extreme, a tax rate of 100% of the rental value would be equivalent to leasing from the government, and landlords would have no privilege over other tenants. When we break the property tax by preventing it from adjusting to property value (as Proposition 13 did), then current owners become rich from the booming economy even as renters and future buyers become impoverished, or as the article puts it, “it’s especially unfair to their children, who are in effect subsidizing their parents’ generation.” In my opinion, the property tax rate should be moderately high, so that landowners and tenants’ interests would be more aligned and the government would have the resources it needs to address displacement and inequality.

Here's a pretty good talk by Mark Rosewater with some lessons that don't just apply to games:

I agree. Negative prices make perfect sense in electricity markets, and journalism does a bad job at explaining it.

Supply and demand must always be in equilibrium in real time with electricity (forgetting storage / batteries for a second). If there is more supply than demand or vice versa, then you have instability in the grid and can have blackouts. Those electrons have to go somewhere. This is in contrast to virtually any other good where you can store the good in a warehouse and smooth it supply intertemporaly.

Thus, if there is a big drop in demand or it's simply too sunny / windy of a day, there can be too much supply.

To incentivize reducing supply quickly enough, sometimes prices have to go negative. This is in part because some supply simply cannot reduce quickly (e.g. nuclear) and are still happy to operate in zero price situations bc either they have no marginal cost of generation (solar, wind) or the cost of reducing generation and increasing it back up is high (nuclear, coal).

Thus, there simply might not be enough plants that have the characteristics where they can scale down quickly AND have a marginal cost of generation such that they would turn off when prices go to zero (e.g. combined cycle natural gas plants can turn on and off very quickly and don't want to be on when the price falls below the cost of the gas used to generate electricity, but Australia doesn't have enough of them to absorb a supply decrease as prices fall). Alternatively, the subsidies that you mention shift the break even point into negative prices territory.

Either was, negative is needed to incentivize solar and wind to turn off or else there would be a blackout from oversupply.

Thankfully, this all gets solved with energy storage and all the slow, dirty systems that stay on will be priced out by more nimble renewables and rapid energy storage. Bc then that excess supply is stored and arbitraged to higher price times (when the sun isn't shining and wind isn't blowing). Then prices should always be positive (so long as there is available storage). If the storage is full though, prices could again go negative. Without a place to put those electrons, they quickly go from a good to an externality. It's almost like how we'll pay a musician to perform, but if your neighbor is blasting music at 3am. Without someone willing to consume and pay for those electrons, they literally are just causing trouble for all the other electrons that we do want to consume.

It in part why you can't simply just create significant generation and hook it into the grid anywhere without working with the grid operator. AC power, dude. We don't control where those electrons flow directionally. So you adding too much power somewhere can really destabilize the system.

Well first off I'll say if your phone is giving you sensory overload, some sort of AR device is not gonna be something for you.

A futuristic AR device that would work seamlessly would truly "disappear" into the environment. No HUD necessarily (at least in terms of what Google Glass was trying to accomplish) but imagine if people, places and things could register actions in the real world, sort of like "Press X to open door" in a video game.

Imagine a sort of DNS-type registry for registering ownership of physical space tied to geospatial mapping data. When you walk into such a space, your AR device could unobtrusively indicate that there is something interactive where you are, and who owns it/what it is.

Perhaps your city owns public basketball courts. They could register a virtual fence around it and when you're on the court you're presented with the option to start basketball stats tracking and a tutorial with a pro from the city's NBA team.

Or something more commercial could be: you walk into Starbucks and your drink is ordered for you automatically and you can see the estimated wait time.

These aren't some sort of experience designed for entertainment value, they're truly small improvements which augment your life. Your choice whether or not you think such a thing would be necessary or good for you, but a lot of it already exists with phones. AR used this way would simply make phones obsolete.

Interestingly, we do exactly that when controlling our own bodies: You're typically able to delegate the exact mechanics of walking, holding things, speaking, etc to your subconscious "muscle memory" (what ever that is exactly) - however you'll take "direct control" when performing an unfamiliar movement (e.g. dancing or doing Yoga for the first time).

Interestingly, the "direct control" is also gradual: You're able to position your hand very precisely without meeting to know where your arm is going.

The system is even flexible enough that it can eventually learn unfamiliar movements and allow you to "delegate" them as well. (E.g. an experienced dancer or Yoga practitioner)

This question only worries me in the context of philosophy or in the context of the developed world.

My experience, being born on the African continent and with my (known) family having lived on the African continent for 10 generations, teaches me that this question is not a matter of philosophy but of pragmatism. The impression I have, whether illusory or not, is that the more fundamental human endeavor is towards Mazlo's pyramid of needs. One example that I can give is that often those that "defend" the position of the rich are not rich themselves, but rather believe in the value of personal property ownership.

And with regards to those in developing countries in general, I think the feeling is that you simply want to better your life up to a point of some kind of perception of equal access to opportunity (whether attainable or not). My point is thus that inequality in wealth is perhaps like inequality in everything else, including inequal distribution of personal preferences (in everything). It's easy to say this as a person with access to education and opportunity and pretend to say it on behalf of others, and could of course be misguided, but I don't know if relative spread of opportunity is important in the way that absolute spread of opportunity is.

What kind of elitist nonsense is this? The reason AR isn't taking off isn't because the users aren't good enough for AR, it's because AR isn't good enough for the users.

My point is some technologies just end up not being very useful, ever.
Just as a non-anecdotal proof [0] that just because it's counter-intuitive doesn't mean it's not correct. Sometimes it's the most obvious absence of evidence that shouts the loudest. Looking at those planes there was absolutely no proof that some parts ever get hit and it would be crazy to even suggest that they do. Based on what evidence?

The US tends to come out with almost no bullet holes from SA and Israel but when one is found it's a howitzer. Every time something related to them really blows up you get to how deep they went and it becomes almost unbelievable to assume there were no signs whatsoever to the US and no reporting could have been done by the media.

WaPo has a vested interest in covering SA especially after Khashoggi and the Bezos blackmail incident. But the US and rest of the media are not as vocal as say when talking about anything related to China or Iran, where every piece of gossip is news, where every allegation becomes a sanction. The point to take from here is that "punishment fitting the crime" seems to be a very fluid concept also at country level and the questions to worry about are "Why are some getting a free pass? What are the strings?".

I would equally guarantee that they won´t be, simply because there isn´t actually enough actual money to buy them all.

Markets are a real time pricing mechanism - they operate on instantaneous availability of both money and shares. Put enough shares out on the supply side, is the equivalent of flooding the demand side with money a. la. hyperinflation. In both cases, the good in question becomes effectively valueless.
For those here who enjoy how ActivityPub allows you to push content and then receive comments back but don't have the mental bandwidth to implement such system for their blog, let me point you to:

https://brid.gy/

It uses microformats and webmentions to find content in your blog and then pushes it to silos and other services. If someone comment about it somewhere that is not your blog, it captures that comment and send it to your blog as a webmention.

All this is part of the (somewhat complex but beautiful when it works) standards and services that people from the IndieWeb movement are shipping. You can see more info about it at:

https://indieweb.org/

The Bridgy service mentioned early can push your blog content to mastodon and pick replies, boosts, likes and send them back as webmention as well.
It is another form of assignment if you're implementing a Python compiler. The intended use is as a tool for naming values.

Shocking. And even if she reports the lies, they are not likely to be actioned:

and:

Do you think Sokal-type pranks are legitimately exposing pretend science? It seems to me, the strongest conclusion you can make is that some journals are over-eager to publish studies with edgy titles or themes. This might bring into question the average level of scholarship in a field but it doesn't directly challenge whether a field is legitimate.

Moreover I don't think a journal with a title like "Gender, Place, and Culture" would classify itself as scientific. Its website certainly doesn't do so [0]. You can't expose pretend science if there's no pretension of science.

A lot of this seems common senses but “⊲ Keep in mind that tags, likes, pins, and similar ways of showing you like a brand or product are endorsements.“ seems confusing... so if say you really love a company product and paid to post about it... do you have to disclose that every time you like their posts or just if paid to like a post directly? How do you even disclose that if it’s a like... not way to check a box for a disclosure to show up next to your like in the list... wonder if paid likes are even a thing though... wonder if the algorithm factors in how popular the people who like your post are in ranking your own posts, be interesting if they do.

Seems like a bit of mixing business and personal life for some people too.

I’m not popular but I think if I was and was offered brand deals, I’d only want to do them for stuff I’d actually use and like. If already using them out of my own choice and offered a deal, even better!

I have heard some companies even will send unsolicited products to YouTuber PO Boxes... which I feel like pressures people to talk about it, I rather them contact first to even ask. Then also PO Boxes in general for YouTube always seemed odd, people send candy and other stuff to popular people they like... uh, I have no interest in eating random candy sent to me from strangers on the internet. Never understood that idea.

Then wonder how that works for Mark Zuckerberg... if he posts about new features or stuff developing at Facebook does he have to add to every post he’s the CEO? Or any startup CEO talking about their developments, sorta like a developer log type thing. Maybe aimed more at stuff that’s more directly advertising.
The sections on the left hand side pop up when you move with the mouse over them - meaning, a window with the poems and explanation opens. When I move the mouse over those windows and click the triangle (Expand) for the actual poem, it makes the box containing the poem only about 1/2 a line larger, making it basically impossible to read it. When I move the mouse out of the pop up window, it disappears.

I didn't realize yesterday that you can also click the sections to open them normally. When I do that, the poems expand just fine and everything works. It's the pop ups that confused me, because I thought they are the way you intend users to navigate the page.
