It is. But I actually thought the entire website was fake and left.

And no offence but when I am handing over my money and company data I am not looking for humour.
I love this idea, but there's no way a managed service like this is going to work, for two reasons: Performance and compliance.

Compliance is pretty obvious and even if you don't store the feature dictionaries and only the vectors, that's a hard conversation to have with the compliance team. I GET IT, without the feature dictionaries the vectors are useless, I KNOW this is how it works from a technical point of view, but the compliance team still won't sign off on it. That's just the way of the world.

And much much more important is performance, uncompressed high dimensional features are huge and even if you use run-length-encoding or sparse vector storage in the protocol plus some lossless compression, I have trouble keeping the GPU fed from disk, let alone over the network, it's going to be multiple orders of magnitude too slow. If the benefits is not claimed to be streaming but are fast vector similarity, keep in mind I can do cosine similarity on literally millions of vectors a second on a single CPU core using vanilla numpy, this was fast enough for me to implement realtime face recognition vector search for Dubai airport, so pretty high scale operations.

I've love a self hosted version of this, optimised for I/O throughput to the GPU. That would be great.
That seems extremely niche.

> Rising rents due to speculation or just plain landlord greed

Well, you'd need both, not just one: landlord greed has a cap, average rents can't be much more than the cost of buying, though there will always be some folks who don't qualify for a mortgage for whatever reason. The only reason landlords can be greedy is the leverage they have because supply is constrained -- otherwise, their greed would be thwarted by developers' greed!

Speculation and landlord greed only really affect prices in a supply-constrained environment. In markets where housing is a commodity, and can actually be produced, the cost of housing tends towards the cost of land acquisition & construction. Not always smoothly, of course...if demand jumps very suddenly, the construction market needs time to adjust, etc.

These newly defined functions can call other LAMBDA-defined functions, to arbitrary depth, even recursively. With LAMBDA, Excel has become Turing-complete. You can now, in principle, write any computation in the Excel formula language.

Generally, yes that is what I and much of society means. An organized bullying campaign that tries to destroy someone to enforce their version of politically correct behavior.

And the fact remains that the behavior she was attacked over, whether or not you want to regard her as a human capable of being victimized or suffering nagatively from such things, was not related to any neo-nazi or otherwise objectively "evil" behavior we can wave away as deserving. Or was it? That was actually my question.
>A counterexample is Vienna, which utilizes a well balanced system of rent-control and social housing to have incredibly low rents

I beg your pardon? You can't possibly call rent prices in Vienna incredibly low and still keep a straight face. Maybe for the lucky Viennese that got grandfathered in some rent controlled flats, but last time I looked (pre-covid), rents there for new comers were insane compared to the next "biggest" cities like Graz or Linz, while Viennese working class wages were not much higher than those other two cities, if you exclude fancy lawyers, bankers, UN, IAEA and other diplomats.

Maybe rent prices have come down a bit recently due to covid disrupting AirBnBs but even telling Austrians that rents in Vienna are incredibly low is a guaranteed way of getting a few laughs out of them.

I don't know anything about how to do it with AVFoundation (or if it's possible, or if you're already doing this), but to some approximation depending upon codecs, you can make a lossless recode of the video. E.g., what Rogue Amoeba's Fission does, but for both video and audio.

You could also provide a way to export a list of cut points suitable for feeding to some other workflow. E.g., ffmpeg.

I've seen "cancel culture" in analogy to the immune response for a long time now, and it fits pretty well.

If you imagine that ideas can spread like infections, it makes sense to quarantine and ostracize individuals that have caught threathening ideas.. There's also the thing where someone socializing with an 'infected' individual gets treated as if they were infected as well. Better safe than sorry.

With a high false positive rate, you err on the side of safety. Smoke detectors have a high false positive rate by design. You'd rather it go off on accident every now and then than fail when there's actually smoke. Present-day "McCarthyism" seems like a good example of this process in action.

To people who dismiss the idea of cancel culture, I say this: check out South-Korea. Celebrities are regularly driven to suicide by online mobs. It's an epidemic. If a slight moral flaw is perceived, they're fair game. And the mobs can be brutal.
They don't need to "step up their game", they are plenty efficient at minmaxing the economic game. If anything the government and thus the people need to step up their game to change the incentives.

> My remarks about the Texas regulator's recommendations are in the first comment you replied to.

The full text of that comment is "This is not a fair reading of the article. It actually discusses national winterization versus those of Texas, and points out both that other southern states have experienced power disruptions due to the cold, and that the national winterization standards are neither stricter than those of Texas nor strict enough to address the events of recent days", and I would be interested to see how you can find "the only winterization recommendations that would have made a difference for Texas came from within the Texas energy sector itself" in there (it does, of course, contain the seeds of one of your absurd ideas - that other entities' failings excuse those of Texas - but that unshakeable non-sequitur is a separate issue.)

- And even if that was somehow what you intended to say, then it would merely mean that you have been flying with no visible means of support for longer than I thought. Anyway, thanks for acknowledging that fact in your recent post, as otherwise I would never have guessed that you recognize it as being so!

I do see that, in another thread, you wrote "there's no solution that works if we don't hold regulators accountable and the regulators don't hold the industry accountable." Yes, indeed - recognizing, of course, that the state executive and legislature have considerable control over the regulatory process, and a corresponding responsibility in the debacle.

My county (Kitsap) seems to have a municipal PUD. From what I can tell, the rules prevent them from providing retail service; but if they service your building, you can pick from a list of ISPs that provide service. There's some sort of fallback option, where if there's no retail ISPs, the PUD can provide retail service; but I suspect it's pretty easy to provide retail service to any customer on the network once you're an ISP on the network. Maybe if you didn't want to drive all over the county to get on premises.

What would be really nice (in my opinion) is if there was a way to share installation costs without organizing. I've got an installation quote where it's about $30k to build to my pole (and then $20k more to get from my pole to my building, because I have underground utilities from the pole and a long driveway). If I organize a bunch of neighbors along the route, we can share costs on that $30k; but if I just install for me, everyone else along the route can use it at no cost to them. It would be nice if I could pay the $30k now, and get some of that rebated later if other people use the line in some near term future. Although, probably the neighbors would just wait it out; Comcast serves most of them (but not me), and CenturyLink gets me 80/10 mbps on bonded VDSL2, so I imagine most of them can get pretty similar too.

Not necessarily. You can measure things in ways that add energy: e.g. radar waves contribute a tiny bit of energy to the things they bounce off. Yet they measure where objects are.

You can also measure some things in ways that add exactly 0 energy. If some quantum system absorbs exactly nothing of a certain wavelength, that tells you something about the system.
> Unlikely things happen all the time. If he lost money, this article wouldn’t exist.

Exactly! The person you replied to did the right calculation but completely threw away the context. The argument here is akin to p-hacking where all the investors in the world are the experiments and this article merely picked the one that got lucky.

Different scenario but similar argument, I roll a large set of dice, 5x rolls each die. If the set is large enough, one of the dice is likely to land all 6s. While that is unlikely, that doesn’t automatically mean the diced are unfair. It’s not just enough to reject the null hypothesis but you also need to prove the new hypothesis. Not to mention having a solid working theorem for why the alternate hypothesis is correct.

The fact that you don't understand monetary theory, doesn't mean economists can't figure it out. Maybe this is why developed nations haven't experienced hyperinflation in almost 100 years.
